Like many, I came away after watching last Sunday’s thrilling Ulster Championship tie with renewed optimism around what might lie ahead for the summer.
Tyrone-Monaghan wasn’t a game that I was particularly looking forward to for a few reasons. I expected something similar to what Mayo and Roscommon had served up the week before in terms of defensive tactics.
Maybe there was a bit of bias on my behalf towards Ulster football too because while it’s by far the most competitive province, the games can often be drab and leave a lot to be desired.
