Tyrone U20 coach Dermot Carlin says he’s indebted to the county’s schools for the contribution they make to inter-county success.

All three Ulster Colleges U19 titles, along with two All-Ireland crowns, went to Tyrone seats of learning this year in a clean sweep that highlighted the depth of under-age talent in the county.
