Tyrone managers Feargal Logan and Brian Dooher made “one of the biggest calls in the history of the GAA” when they advised the county board that the All-Ireland semi-final against Kerry should not go ahead due to a Covid-19 wave which swept through their squad.

County chairman Michael Kerr told delegates at Tuesday night’s annual convention that the pair were willing to sacrifice all the efforts they had made for the greater good of the players, and of the Association.
