Description

Adrian Logan reports for Good Evening Ulster on the Tyrone GAA side ahead of their All-Ireland semi-final against Galway. At this stage, Ulster teams had been on a run of prolonged poor form with no side from Ulster advancing from the semi-final stage, where the four provincial champions met, since 1977. Tyrone themselves had never been beyond the semi-final to head to Croke Park to play for the famous trophy. However, there was a buzz that this might be their year when they were paired up with a Galway side who seemed very beatable.

Adrian talks to some of the players about their chances and discusses the famous team from the 1950s, who ultimately fell short of All-Ireland glory.
