DERRYLAUGHAN KEVIN BARRY’S: The big night arrives tomorrow (Friday) as the legends of the 2002 All-Ireland winning Armagh team and the Tyrone team that took their crown the following year meet in a legends game in Derrylaughan. After months of hard graft in organising the event, plans had to be altered because of the involvement of both Tyrone and Armagh in the All-Ireland SFC qualifiers. The game was brought forward by a day. Sam Maguire will be in attendance along with a stellar list of footballers and hurlers that will take part in a Question of Sport after the game – namely Anthony Daly, Ollie Baker, Diarmuid O’Sullivan, Peter Canavan, Ger Houlihan and Enda Muldoon. The match itself will be refereed by Brian White and John Bannon, who will be hoping the pace and needle of their classic encounters in the early 2000s remains firmly absent this weekend.
