Tyrone stars join u-21 management team

Tyrone’s Brian Dooher

TWO OF Tyrone’s most famous players are taking their first steps into management as part of the Tyrone u-21 set-up for next season.

Having fallen short in the past two Ulster deciders at the hands of Cavan, u-21 boss Raymond Munroe has moved to shake up his backroom team for 2013.

To aid the Red Hand cause, he has sought the services of triple All-Ireland senior winners Brian Dooher and Philip Jordan to add their winning mentality and big-game expertise to the mix.

Both called time on their inter-county careers at the end of the 2011 campaign, and securing the services of the double All-Ireland winning captain and the four-time All-Star wing back is certainly a major coup and a clear statement of intent.
