ULSTER SFC DOWN v TYRONE:THE REPEAT scenario doesn't bode well for Down. In 2003 they held Tyrone in the Ulster final only to be emptied 0-23 to 1-5 in the replay. Add in the loss of full back Martin Cole and midfielder Dan Gordon and Ross Carr's men look to have an uphill challenge today.
Tyrone also have problems with Enda McGinley withdrawn with concussion and Owen Mulligan and Raymond Mulgrew still out.
At least Brian Dooher and Brian McGuigan have 70 minutes under their belts, and that could be enough to see them through.
TYRONE:J Devine; R McMenamin, J McMahon, PJ Quinn; D Harte, C Gourley, P Jordan; C Gormley, AN Other; B Dooher (capt), B McGuigan, C Cavanagh; M Penrose, S Cavanagh, C McCullagh.
DOWN(probable): B McVeigh; C Murney, AN Other, L Howard; A Carr, L Doyle, D Rafferty; AN Other, J Lynch; J Fegan, R Murtagh, D Hughes; J Clarke, R Sexton, B Coulter.
Referee:E McEnaney (Monaghan).
