Big guns do battle again

TYRONE'S big two return to Carrickmore today to settle their Hunky Dorys Senior Football Championship argument.

It was O'Neill Cup holders Errigal Ciaran who needed a late leveller to earn a second chance, with midfielder Cormac McGinley firing over a long-range point with just a minute remaining to tie it at 0-7 each last Sunday.

Ciaran McGinley, Peter Harte and Cormac McGinley will drive the Errigal challenge, and a more open game could see front men Tommy Canavan, Ronan McCrory, Caolan Tierney and teenager Mark Kavanagh enjoy a more productive outing.

But they once again face a difficult task in breaking down a Dromore rearguard built around Cathal McCarron, Sean O'Neill and Sean McDonnell, with Ryan McMenamin operating as an extra defender.

Up front, Colm McCullagh, Eoin McCusker and Conor O'Neill are set for another mighty battle with Aidan McCrory, Michael McCrory and Davy Harte, who kept it tight at the back last weekend.
