Tyrone's finely tuned counter-attacking game plan has come in for praise from Dublin manager Jim Gavin.

The All-Ireland champions will take on the Red Hands on Sunday week and Gavin is expecting a stern test from Mickey Harte & Co.

"We've always looked at them as having a big scoring threat, even going back to our National League game in early February this year," he pointed out to The Irish Independent.

"They looked very impressive going forward and they got a great goal in that game.

"Defence has always been their cornerstone and they have always been an exceptionally good counter-attacking team, but they have really added to it since that league game.

"If you look at their championship games it has been so impressive from them, particularly players coming off the bench has really added to it as well.

"They are just a modern football team."
