Tipperary Football Board Chairman Joe Hannigan says Tyrone is "the game we wanted".
The Premier County welcome the Red Hands to Thurles for a mouth-watering SF Qualifier this Saturday and, rather than shudder at the prospect of facing Mickey Harte's men, Hannigan insists it's a dream draw for Peter Creedon's up-and-coming side:
"We want the chance to prove to everyone that we are up there with the best of them and next Saturday we have the opportunity to do that," he says in The Tipperary Star.
"It's the game we wanted and we have home venue, which is a big plus. We hope that we will get a lot of support on Saturday and I encourage Tipp people to get out and get behind the team."
