Ronan McNabb has suggested that Tyrone would be doing more than holding their own if they were to keep a clean sheet of goals against Kerry on Sunday.

As it stands, Mickey Harte's men have not conceded a major in their last five championship outings, with Donegal's Martin McElhinney the last man to find the net against them back in May, but their right half-back knows repeating that feat will be a tall order against the Kingdom, whom raised the umpire's green flag seven times in their last game against Kildare.

"It's good to have that record I suppose," McNabb told the Irish Daily Star. "But, again, they're going to be very dangerous and we'll have to go in with the same application that we did for the other games before it.

"I suppose we'll go in with a plan to make sure no goals go in. But, realistically, every one of those Kerry forwards is capable of scoring goals.

"I suppose it gives us an air of confidence that no goals have been conceded. But, as I say, we'd like to build on that."
