Brian Dooher shoots
Tyrone football boss Mickey Harte says he is hoping ace attacker Brian Dooher will be back in training in two months following his recent operation. Dooher underwent corrective surgery in recent days for a groin/hernia condition that resulted in him having to retire during the O'Neill County's championship clash with Meath at Croke Park. "It is hoped that he will be able to get back to doing dome training in six to eight weeks," said Harte. That time frame would be the most optimistic outlook. The Meath game was a calculated gamble," said Harte. "He didn't know how long he would last in it and made it through at half-time, gave it all he could. He will hopefully be back in about eight weeks."
