Mickey Harte admits it took Tyrone a while to get going in their McKenna Cup win over Ulster University after returning from their team holiday in Thailand on Saturday.

"I suppose it's understandable that it took the boys a wee while to find their feet. A lot of them have been on holiday for the last 10 days and doing a lot of travelling, and only back yesterday," the Tyrone manager told the Irish News.

"So we couldn't expect too much of them, but I think as the game went on you could see that our players were finding their feet a bit more and getting their second wind, so to speak."

He added: "We would like to have been more efficient in the first half of the first half. I think we had one point out of about eight attempts and that wouldn't be good enough any day. But it kept us going until we did find our feet and made a few better selections."
