Loughmacrory manager Marty Boyle says his side face “a huge challenge” against Trillick in Sunday’s Tyrone senior football championship final (4pm).

Boyle’s men reached their club’s first ever senior decider in the O’Neill County last Friday night by defeating Carrickmore (1-14 to 4-6) in what was a thrilling semi-final replay under lights in Omagh.

Now, they are looking forward to the big day on Sunday and, speaking to BelfastLive.co.uk this week in the build-up, Boyle says his group are relishing the opportunity.

“It's a huge challenge,” he said. “Trillick are a household name. Trillick and Errigal Ciaran are the teams everybody aspires to try and hang on to their coattails.

“Firstly, we’ll enjoy the build-up. It is an occasion to be savoured, whether we are playing Trillick or whoever.

“It’s a county final and it’s brilliant progress for these boys and it's a brilliant occasion for them to look forward to. Now, they’ve to go and throw themselves into it.”
