Tyrone’s joint-manager, Brian Dooher hailed the twin performances of Darragh Canavan and Darren McCurry in bringing about Mayo’s downfall at Healy Park. The forwards combined for a total of 1-12 of Tyrone’s winning total of 1-15 in the fourth round league tie.

“Darren and Darragh whenever they’re on song they are worth the entrance fee alone,” Dooher said. “Darren had the ‘flu last week so did well to recover. We didn’t think he’d have the energy in the legs after the week he had but he came on in the second half and you wouldn’t have known there was anything wrong with him.”
