Louth 1-9 1-17 Tyrone 


Tyrone cruised into the second round of the All-Ireland qualifiers by seeing off Louth at Drogheda on Saturday.

Mickey Harte's men were 1-10 to 1-0 up at half-time with Enda McGinley scoring the goal and all six Red Hands forwards getting among the points.

Darren Clarke got Louth's goal which levelled the game in the 18th minute.

In the second half Tyrone's Colm McCullagh took his tally to five points while former All Star Sean Cavanagh landed four for the winners.

It was a fine display by Tyrone as they hope to mount a serious challenge to get their hands on the Sam Maguire trophy.

They stormed on to three-point lead inside the opening 10 minutes thanks to Martin Penrose, Tommy McGuigan and Cavanagh.

Clarke's goal brought Louth level but points from McCullagh, Brian Dooher and Brian McGuigan got Tyrone back on top.

Louth looked in danger of being overwhelmed but they showed character in the second half.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tyrone manager Mickey Harte:

We are pleased to get a good performance behind us, but there is still a lot to work on.

We overplayed the ball a bit in the second half and you might not get away with that on other days.

There is no time for resting on your laurels. There will be another team gunning for you next week.

Been a long time since you could go to a county championship game and lean over a wall surrounding the pitch! By the way, I'm sure the score was 1-17 to 1-9.

Tyrone sauntered through tonight with a decent display, although nothing to write home about. First things first, Louth were absolutely dire. Their shooting was chronic and to score 1-0 in one half at home is abject. Louth did win the second half 9-7 but the last 10 minutes was just a merry-go-round of substitutions with the game played at challenge pace.

The pluses: Tommy McGuigan again put in a fine performance, linking wonderfully well at times with his brother. Brian McGuigan had patches of brilliance and took a couple of good scores though could also have landed 2 goals. Seemed out of puff at times but a good performance overall. Ryan Mellon made some eye-catching takes at midfield, floated in and out of the game but was generally one of our best players. Brian Dooher put in a trojan first half - for a man who had hardly trained in the last fortnight. A Dooher special in the first half was the highlight of the first half scoring. McGinley drifted in and out but did pick up a fair amount of breaking ball and took his goal well. Ricey was heavily involved. Shipped a massive tackle in the second half, got up and played on. Then was goolied again, this time floored. McMahon coped well in the main but was easily turned twice in succession later on. Quinn was steady and Jordan's influence grew as the match progressed. Penrose and McCullagh had an easy time of it in the corners. Colm was fairly accurate today from frees.

Minuses: Sean Cavanagh was again wasted for long periods whilst at FF. For such a massive talent, we need to involve him more. Scored a couple of class points, showing the other forwards the way. Harte and Gormley I thought struggled to get into the game. Defensively we appear weaker than in recent seasons - maybe due to Gormley's dip in influence. Dooher did some serious work in defence, almost as sweeper. The penalty was never a penalty though. Missed goal chances. Penrose and McCullagh do not seem to hit the onion bag as freely as they should for the chances they have.

All-in-all a good run-out. Can't see how Mulgrew will regain a place given Tommy's form. If Mugsy returns it present a headache for Harte. Will he keep Enda and Ryan in the middle, play Sean alongside Mulligan and drop Penrose? Or does he use Mugsy as the target man, move Sean back out to MF and then have to reshuffle McGinley or Mellon back into the forward division - I wouldn't change the half forwards though. Colm Cavanagh may also find it hard to nail a starting slot from now on.
