Tyrone injuries clear up

Tyrone's Brian Dooher
Tyrone manager Mickey Harte finds himself in the unusual position of being able to report a clean bill of health for Sunday's Ulster SFC semi-final against Derry. And that could mean that team captain Brian Dooher will make his first start for the Red Hands since last September's All-Ireland final victory over Kerry. Despite limping out of a club game 10 days ago, the Clann na nGael man trained last Thursday night and on Sunday morning. Dooher, who underwent a groin operation over the winter, made a big contribution to Tyrone's quarter-final victory over Armagh after coming on as a substitute. Injuries to Stephen O'Neill, Colm McCullagh, Pascal McConnell and Brian McGuigan have also cleared up, meaning Harte will have a full hand to choose from for the first time in a long time.
