Stephen O’Neill has handed Tyrone a major boost by revealing he is fit and ready to return for the next round of the qualifiers on Saturday week. TheTyrone captain has recovered from his latest injury setback, an Achilles problem, and is back in training. His return will present manager Mickey Harte with a difficult selection decision. The man who replaced O’Neill for the last two games, Darren McCurry, has scored 14 points, eight in the runaway win over Offaly and six as Tyrone scraped a narrow success at Roscommon. Harte must now decide whether he can accommodate both.
