Mark Bradley was quick to deflect the praise after his Tyrone SFC final replay heroics.

The Tyrone attacker fired over six first-half points and registered 0-8 in total as Killyclogher eased past Coalisland on Friday night, moving to the top of the championship scoring charts.

"You have to keep plugging away," the 22-year-old told The Belfast Telegraph. "Thankfully we got off to a good start, because we were very poor in front of the nets in the drawn encounter. We missed relatively easy chances that on another day might have went over.

"We set out to get off to a good start. At the same time, the ball is sent in and I am coming off the loop. It was the boys making the runs that they might not have made the first day. This time they were bombing forward, three or four men running, and it was just a matter of getting out on the loop.

"That's a credit to the boys putting in a serious, serious work rate."
