Tyrone's Peter Harte is looking forward to Saturday night's Division One clash with Dublin at Croke Park.

It's the start of an exceptionally stiff run of games for the Red Hands, but Harte says that's what players want at this time of year:

"The Dubs are probably the best team in the country - if not, in the top two," he is quoted in The Belfast Telegraph. "They've been like that this last few years, and they have fantastic players.

"You have to just be impressed with them, their physique and that, so we have a tough week ahead of us to try and get ready for Saturday night. But this is where you want to be, in Division One football, and you get to play the best teams week in, week out.

"Division One is so tight that for every point you have to play to the last kick to get your point. Nothing will come easy; we have the Dubs, Kerry, Cork and Donegal up next, and you couldn't pick four tougher tests. But we just have to keep working hard.

"Every team at this time of the year is just trying to find form, trying to find fitness, get results to try and stay in this division, and if you can, make the league semi-finals."
