They are currently hovering over the relegation trapdoor on four points, after two wins and three defeats in their five Division One matches.was the highlight of their campaign so far, and they can only hope it proves to be the spark that ignites their season. Ruairí came off the bench in that game and kicked two points from frees as the Red Hands earned an important victory in their bid to retain Division One status.
“The next two games are massive. You want to be playing football in Division One obviously. Hopefully we can harness it and back it up.” Ruairí was a key player in Tyrone’s All-Ireland under-20 winning team last May, and he believes there is huge potential for the county in the years ahead.
