Tyrone attacker Cathal McShane says they aren’t looking past Antrim this weekend.

The Red Hands are set to take on the Saffrons at Armagh’s Athletic Grounds on Saturday evening and are ranked as whopping 1/80 favourites to advance through to another Ulster SFC semi-final.

"Obviously it's good to have the preliminary round game behind us but, while we won it, that does not guarantee us anything in connection with this Saturday's game,” McShane told the Belfast Telegraph.

"We know that Antrim will be keen to build on their league form and we also know how the matches have gone in the championship to date, with the favourites not always coming through.

"I'm just keeping my head up and working as part of the team. On different days different players can step up to the mark, but the important thing is that the team comes out on top.

"Antrim are the only side on our radar right now and we are certainly taking nothing for granted against them. They will feel they have a big point to make."
