Mayo minor manager Tony Duffy believes that the work ethic of his side will be enough to see off the challenge of favourites Tyrone in today's All-Ireland MFC semi final.

The Ulster side are many people's favourites to lift the title, never mind win today, but Mayo are seeking revenge for two years ago and Duffy feels that the favourites tag will add pressure on Tyrone.

"Tyrone have been very impressive and dismantled everybody in no uncertain terms. We're underdogs but we're going up to Croke Park to put on a good show. And if we play, there's no reason why we can't be there or thereabouts," said Duffy.

"I don't think there has been a game like this with Tyrone as raging hot favourites. It will be interesting to see how that pans out. We believe in our own ability, we fully expect it to be an almighty battle and we fully expect that Tyrone will be excellent. We must match them in every facet of their game." Tweet
