Tyrone manager Mickey Harte had said that yesterday’s Ulster SFC final win over Donegal was the best victory he’s ever had in the province.
Harte said the fact Tyrone had gone six years without winning the title, coupled with the fact it was Donegal they defeated in the final made it the ‘sweetest win of them all’.
Harte has now won five Ulster titles during his tenure as manager of the Red Hands.
Tyrone edged out Donegal in a claustrophobic battle in a baking hot Clones.
Harte told The Irish Times, “This is the best, absolutely the best, this is the best of them all because of the famine that was there for six years and because of what had gone before.
“And maybe Ulster titles were taken fro granted in the 2000’s and not enough joy put in when winning them.
“This is different, the county was waiting on this, and the fact that it was Donegal in the final.”
Donegal now face Cork in the qualifiers, and the winner of that will face the taunting prospect of Dublin in the quarter final.
