Tiernan McCann was already looking ahead to Tyrone's Ulster SFC opener against Derry next month after the Red Hands' victory over Cavan in the Allianz League Division 2 final.

The man of the match told TG4: "It's very early days. Our thoughts are all on the 22nd of May in Celtic Park. Derry is going to be a massive challenge and our thoughts are completely on that game in four weeks' time."

While Mickey Harte's men had five points to spare in the end, McCann claimed they never at any stage felt they had the game won.

"Cavan played til the very, very last second there. You can't afford to take your foot off the pedal. They gave us a really tough game earlier on in the league so we knew it would be the same again today and it went right to the final whistle."
