Miracles and upsets - the Tyrone v Derry rivalry is back (The Irish Times)

Peter Canavan and Liam Óg Hinphey reflect on some of greatest games between the two.

He cautioned that there could be a dozen points in Tyrone’s favour come the weekend. His own father Sean and mother Sarah didn’t make it to the match – a rarity in itself. And if either could rub it in, they would take the chance. “I loved playing against them,” recalls Hinphey. “That’s the games you remember, our biggest rivals. “But before those games I was bad with nerves and had a habit of throwing up before matches. “They were All-Ireland champions in 1993, they were hot favourites on the day. “It was a blistering hot day, one of the hottest days of the summer. As the door closed, he pressed his back to the cool wall, enjoyed a long exhale and looked up to see Tyrone manager Art McRory glowering over him. But after the game I realised how big it was; the likes of Fergal Doherty and Paddy Bradley, what it meant to them and the reaction of the crowd.” “And in fact, a number of Tyrone supporters couldn’t take any more at half-time. At half-time, referee Tommy McDermott left the field with stewards, linesmen and umpires forming a donut around him. By 1995, the will to win hung like desperation in the air.

Derry run riot to send champions Tyrone into qualifiers (RTE.ie)

Derry shocked All-Ireland champions Tyrone with a 1-18 to 0-10 win at O'Neills Healy Park to set up an Ulster SFC semi-final clash with Monaghan.

And they were to finish the game with just 13 men, Conor McKenna off on a second booking on 65 minutes, before a joyous Oak Leaf side finished the job off with two more from Loughlin and a McGuigan gem. Tyrone just couldn’t get going, and with the gap widening, all they could do was keep in touch with a couple of Darragh Canavan scores and another McCurry point. Wing-back Doherty landed his second score of the game, with McKinless also firing over a point, and when Niall Loughlin converted his second free, they led by 0-7 to 0-4. The Oak Leafers built upon a strong opening with a goal immediately after the sending off, and with a man extra, controlled the second half in front of a crowd of 10,155. Derry got off to a strong start, with Conor Doherty and Niall Loughlin shooting a couple of early points. They were given a massive boost by the dismissal of Tyrone midfielder Brian Kennedy shortly before half-time, and the Red Hands could never cope with the handicap as they tried in vain to break Derry’s rigid defensive set-up.

Derry stunned All-Ireland champions Tyrone in the Ulster Championship quarter-final, winning 1-18 to 0-10 at Healy Park.

McGuigan and Niall Loughlin punished them dearly on each foray forward. It was clear from the early stages this was a game that Rory Gallagher had been planning for. Rory Gallagher's team were fully deserving of their victory. Fourteen-man Tyrone had a mountain to climb, and try as they might, they were not able to make any dents in the Derry lead. The Red Hands were forced to take risks due to their numerical disadvantage, and continually got caught on the break.

Peter Canavan explains why Tyrone's Derry humiliation was 'coming' (Pundit Arena)

Former All-Ireland winner Peter Canavan has explained why he thinks Tyrone's dismal defeat at home to Derry was 'coming'...

“Rarely do you see All-Ireland champions not only beaten, but absolutely annihilated,” he began. There was no power, and no pace. There was no energy, and it was very unlike Tyrone. “Derry murdered Tyrone all over the pitch. “They have a lot of skill, and if you look at the best players on the field, they were all on the Derry side. What he has now is a team of great pace and physical power.

GAA: Derry on the march to end Tyrone's reign (Belfast Telegraph)

If Derry manage to beat Monaghan in the semi-final in a fortnight’s time, Rory Gallagher will be standing on the sideline of an Ulster final for the seventh time since 2011. That kind of forceful play and willingness to support the attack led to Derry keeping the pressure on Tyrone all day and Doherty also executed a fine marking job on Niall Sludden throughout. They were three points up when the ‘Turning Point’ came, through the double whammy of a red card for Brian Kennedy and the converted penalty in the next series of plays. In the meantime, Ulster has a new contender. By the finish, 2021 Footballer of the Year Kieran McGeary was watching from the bench, a strangely familiar sight this season. They just had far too much composure on the ball and used the free man expertly. Since 2011, Rory Gallagher has stood on the sideline for six Ulster finals. By full-time they had a mere three points from play. They had knocked Tyrone off their Ulster perch, had won the game by eleven points, and laid down any number of psychological pointers that they are ready to step into the bracket of heavyweight contenders. By the end, seven players from the All-Ireland winning panel had made it clear they would not be about for 2022. When Morgan needed a different target last year, he got into the habit of booming long. Eleven points was the margin by the end.
