Tyrone boss Michael McShane says his players are under no illusions about the size of the task they have against Roscommon in this weekend’s Nickey Rackard Cup final.

The Red Hands are set to return to Croke Park on Saturday for the first time since last year’s disappointing defeat on the very same stage to Mayo.

McShane said it had been an aim of the group to get back to headquarters this summer and this weekend is all about putting in the right performance to get the job done.

“One of the things that we all agreed on in the changing room in Croke Park after that was that we would come back and make amends. We’ve gone a good bit of that journey, but the biggest part is still to be done,” he is quoted saying by wearetyrone.com.

“Roscommon are a very good team. They’ve come down from the Christy Ring last year and have been playing at a level above Tyrone for the past four or five years. We saw in Dr Hyde Park two weeks ago just how good they are.

“But we’re a good team too and have great confidence in our own ability. We were very disappointed with our performance the last day against Roscommon, so we want to improve on that but are under no illusions about the size of the task.

“Tyrone will go there and try and put the right performance together. If that’s good enough for us to win then great, and if it’s not then there’s nothing more that we can do.”
