Peter Harte says Tyrone's U21 All-Ireland winners have made a big impact since joining the senior team.

Mark Bradley, Conor Meyler and Rory Brennan have all become regulars with the seniors since starring in the All-Ireland U21 final victory over Tipperary in May and have helped the Red Hands qualify for an All-Ireland SFC semi-final against Kerry this weekend.

"They've added a good bit of energy and confidence," Harte notes in The Irish Daily Mirror. "They came off the back of an All-Ireland so they were coming in here with no fear really.

"They knew they were as good as anybody in the county first of all and as they got playing a few games they saw that they were as good, at their age, as there is in the country.

"It's brilliant to have that coming through and it does bring that competition. When you see boys coming in and you know that they're gunning for your place or they're gunning for game time, you have to up your level and it's exciting. It's what you want."
