Monaghan fall to Tyrone at Croke Park again, the 2018 failure will be the most painful setback yet.

The perseverance of the group is impressive, but their capacity to improve is simply tremendous.

The Tyrone team they face today has not changed much from the one exposed so brutally by Dublin 12 months ago. Their style remains as it has been for years – one shown not to be good enough on the biggest days. Monaghan know what is coming, and they are good enough to overcome the challenge.
