Tyrone’s win over Kerry shows the league to be as dangerous a bearpit as it ever was
For instance, while it’s unlikely that Roscommon will go down, it isn’t impossible. After starting the league with a run of three wins on the bounce, they’ve lost two in a row now and head to Kerry for their next assignment. Lose there and the final match at home to Donegal becomes a death-match. So much for worrying about making a league final.
Plenty of teams would pay over the odds for another point at this stage. Tyrone’s 1-15 to 2-9 win in Omagh was badly needed, with the 2021 All-Ireland champions listing badly in recent weeks. But with the young Canavan brothers flourishing and Kerry goalie Shane Ryan coughing up a desperately careless goal, they had enough in hand to see off the visitors.
“And maybe that shows us that we are not a million miles away. There is still a lot of work to be done. In two weeks’ time we have Monaghan but it is nice to get a good win at home and get the Tyrone crowd behind us today. We are just delighted.” “You’d be hoping six [points] would be enough but we’ll have to see. Again, I said it from the off every point is hard fought for. Tyrone’s backs were to the wall they were fighting for their lives here and it showed maybe at times, maybe they showed a bit more hunger than we did. This place is never easy to come to particularly when Tyrone are fighting for their lives.”
