Tyrone midfielder Colm Cavanagh knows they will have their work cut out to come away from Galway with the Division 2 spoils this Sunday.

The Red Hands opened their campaign with a hard-earned win over Cavan and the Moy clubman is hoping they can make it two wins from as many outings this coming weekend.

"Galway showed how good a team they were last year and they have been there or thereabouts in the All-Ireland series as well," he pointed out to The Irish News.

"They had a good win [away to Laois] so they have started off on a bright note.

"We are away and that always makes things a wee bit more difficult, but we are going to go out and try and win every game and put in a performance and that's all that we can do at this stage."

He added: "[The Cavan game] was all about the two points but we are under no illusions as we have a serious amount of work to do.

"We made lots and lots of mistakes there which were very evident but we are a work in progress and we can only build on this performance."
