County star Mark Bradley says Killyclogher will need to improve on their semi-final display against Dromore if they're to topple Trillick in Sunday's Tyrone SFC final.

There is a novel feel to the showpiece game, with Killyclogher appearing in their first final since 2003, while Trillick haven't appeared at this stage since 1986.

"We were up seeing Trillick (in the semi-final), and they were flying, and they got past a really solid Coalisland team who are pushing for league positions now," Bradley told the Tyrone Constitution.

"The likes of Mattie (Donnelly), Richie (Donnelly), wee Lee (Brennan), Rory (Brennan), the whole lot of them are just peaking at the right time, so it's going to be very tough.

"We have a lot to improve on. In the second half of the Dromore game, we completely faded away, and were very lucky to get through in the end-up. Dromore could have snatched it at the end."

The attacking ace is delighted to be back playing with his club-mates after a long season in the Tyrone colours.

"My year has been stop-start with wee niggly injuries, but thankfully, coming to the end of the year, everything is looking good. It's mighty, even just to be back with the club, because we have been away with the county for so long. To get past Dromore was the main goal, and to get into the final is something different," he added.
