Former Cork footballer Paul Kerrigan has said Tyrone’s Covid problems were “unsurprising”, if it was a case that panel members were unvaccinated.

In an interview with the Irish Examiner last week, Tyrone joint-manager Fergal Logan said “there are a series of players in the panel who are vaccinated”, but he also added that management didn’t make vaccination mandatory as they were anxious that players “might go under for two weeks” following vaccination and have their performance inhibited.
