There will be no tubthumping from Pádraig Hampsey this Saturday. Tyrone captain for this season, his philosophy is to lead by deed, not word.

“The likes of the speeches and stuff, you’d only be worrying about them on the day,” he said. “You’d just be worrying about performing and doing the county proud. As a captain, I’m not really that type of person. I like leading by example, and that’s the way I like to go about my business.”
