McKenna and McRory return

Art McRory and Eugene McKenna have returned to manage the Tyrone senior team

Art McRory and Eugene McKenna have returned to manage the Tyrone senior team. The duo, who guided the county to back-to-back Ulster titles in 1995 and '96, take over with immediate effect.

The reappointment of McRory and McKenna, two of Tyrone's most successful managers, comes as no surprise, particularly following a county board assertion several weeks ago that Danny Ball's successor would come from within. The appointment is "initially for the forthcoming season".
