Harte: One win is not a success
MICKEY HARTE has warned that each game brings its own unique challenge and that Tyrone’s outstanding performance against Dublin guarantees nothing.
As they prepare to take on Galway this weekend with a place in the NFL Division One final potentially at stake, the Red Hand boss insisted a different approach will be required to that which brought his side a threepoint win over the League and All-ireland champions last weekend.
The kicking game which paid off so handsomely at Croke Park will prove less effective against Galway’s fortified defensive structure, with the likelihood that Tyrone will revert to a more patient and less direct offensive approach.
“To be able to do that again against a team that hasn’t got that reputation, that’s a different challenge, so we have see how to deal with that challenge now,” said Harte.
“I think you have to be careful, it’s a standalone game, it’s a good result and you have to be very happy about it but you can’t make that a template or a foundation.”
But Harte has set his players a test – to rise again to the level they have now proved the can reach following a faltering and disappointing start to their own League campaign.
He added: “Dublin know they have got a target on their back, when people meet Dublin they want to bring out their best and that was our incentive – bring your best out because you’re playing against the best.”
