Tyrone manager Mickey Harte believes if they can subdue the Kerry full forward line this Sunday, his charges will go a long way to picking up two points in this FL1 clash at Healy Park.

There have been some classic encounters between the sides down through the years and Sunday is set to be another tight affair as Tyrone look to bounce back from their defeat to Monaghan last weekend.

Kerry go into the match unbeaten having drawn with Dublin and beaten Galway, but the Kingdom will know that going to Healy Park is never easy, while Harte has his own concerns.

“There aren’t many full forward lines that will be more difficult to deal with than the Kerry one, but that’s why we’re in this division – to learn how to deal with these sort of things,” Harte told the Ulster Herald.

“Kerry is Kerry and they’re always a challenge. We always feel that we have a better chance of challenging them at Omagh than we have in Killarney or Tralee.

“We’ll have to depend on that, that is our home venue and we need to make some value out of that. Going on the performance against Monaghan, it doesn’t look very bright for us now, but our challenge over the course of the week to see how we can do better.”
