Goals and use of Colm Cavanagh key to upsetting Dublin

The three-time All-Ireland winner admits Tyrone need a lot of things to go in their favour on Sunday if they are to end Dublin's bid for four successive All-Ireland football titles.

'It's a big ask but Harte won't be sending his team to Croker to make up the numbers'

All eyes on Harte's plan to stop the marauding Dubs

Mickey Harte will relish the prospect of coming up with a masterplan to thwart Dublin in the All-Ireland final - a plan that if it works will define Harte as the supreme master tactician.

Jordan: 'I expect Mayo to be a better team next year, both physically and mentally'

Mayo will be Top 4 side for sure in 2019
