Mickey Harte guided Tyrone to a 10th All-Ireland SFC quarter-final appearance under his watch at Croke Park yesterday but, as the man himself pointed out, there's no silverware handed out in quarter-finals.

The Red Hands' reward for their 0-21 to 0-14 victory over Sligo is a last eight date against Ulster champions Monaghan.

"It's only pleasing if you can move on from it," Harte told BBC Sport.

"You don't lift anything in a quarter-final and our record in quarter-finals isn't brilliant over all those years. We've lost as many as we have won.

"We have to get on the case again. We're in a quarter-final, the opposition gets tougher all the time.

"We just need to put the head down and prepare as best we can but we're delighted to be at this stage."
