Tyrone hopes in Division one A of the Suzuki National league campaign will rest on Sundays meeting with Kerry. John McAleers side are depleted slightly too with no Briege Daly or Seana Keenan because of injury. Their absence though opens the door surely for several new faces to enter the equation as the championship clock ticks down.
Kerry joined an ever growing band of sides to have beaten Dublin recently and will be buoyed up by a good performance over the manager less Dubs.
Tyrone have suffered two defeats from three starts, their only won against Dublin at Greencastle, a place in the play-offs is still possible but wins against the Kingdom and Waterford in the last league outing on April 2nd are vital.
In the last week weather has hampered preparations not only for the seniors but the minors who begin their campaign on April 8th against Antrim. Both management camps were hoping for improvement this week.
