Improving Tyrone will relish a crack at the Kingdom while Mayo’s confidence will be high as they bid to take down Dublin
I also suspect the Tyrone players were happier with the draw than the Kerry players. The general mood around Kerry is one of trepidation, let’s put it that way.
Having said that, Tyrone have only been average, at best, so far. Nothing spectacular, nothing special. Similar to Kerry in that regard, their progress hasn’t been that impressive, I’d say low Cs, if you’re talking in old exam reports. One obvious reference point is the 2021 semi-final between the teams. Once Clifford went off, unable to start extra-time, Tyrone really started to take control, and then it was game over. During this year’s league, up in Omagh, Tyrone also won in the physical stakes and on the scoreboard. Even if Clifford didn’t get too much protection that day.
For me, the thing about Tyrone is that you knew they’d be physical, knew they’d be tough, and I also found they’d this ability to click into this frantic pace, come at you wave after wave, for a set period of time. Also if you look through the teams right now, Tyrone have more players in form than Kerry. The two Canavans, as mentioned, McCurry, Mattie Donnelly, plus two midfielders in Conn Kilpatrick and Brian Kennedy.
