Colm Cavanagh risest highest against Fermanagh’s Colm Cavanagh in yesterday’s McKenna Cup semi-final

Tyrone midfielder Colm Cavanagh swapped the sun of Cancun for the cold of Clones yesterday, as he returned from his honeymoon to feature in the McKenna Cup.

The Moy man showed no signs of having the January blues as he put on a man of the match performance in the Red Hands’ 1-13 to 0-9 win over Fermanagh.

The Erne county put it up to Tyrone in the first half, but the defending champions fought back in the second half to ‘erne’ a victory.

They now play Derry in the McKenna Cup final, which will be the Sperrin rivals’ second meeting of the year.

Cavanagh earned plenty of praise on Twitter following Sunday’s match:
