Tyrone joint-manager Brian Dooher says his side face into “a big challenge” this Saturday evening when they meet Mayo in Castlebar (7pm).

The Connacht men were comfortable victors over Kerry last weekend while Tyrone fell to their second defeat of the Allianz Football League campaign at the hands of Galway.

Speaking to WeAreTyrone.com after his team’s 0-16 to 0-13 loss in Tuam, Dooher said Kevin McStay’s men “will be a big threat” to his team in Round 4.

“It’s a big challenge for us. We seen Mayo last night. They were very impressive against Kerry. There seems to be a new energy about them this year,” said the former Red Hands captain.

“They will be a big threat next week but all we can do is get ourselves dusted down and look at what we did good and what we did bad and try and improve some of the latter.”

He added: “Every match is critical in Division 1. We are on the backfoot now. We have a big match next week away to Mayo. We will have to regroup and get ready to go again.”
