Tyrone vs Kerry classics - Extra-time thriller in '21
With Tyrone and Kerry braced to write the latest chapter in an intense and storied rivalry in Saturday's All-Ireland SFC semi-final, here's a look back at the 2021 semi-final, which the Red Hands won 3-14 to 0-22 after losing their three previous championship contests against the Kingdom, it seemed like we were suddenly back in the noughties in 2021 as the Red Hands, with Feargal Logan and Brian Dooher having taken over Mickey Harte, earned a truly epic semi-final victory after extra-time.A couple of weeks earlier, it looked as though Kerry were going to be handed a bye to the decider following the Tyrone county board's announcement that it wouldn't be able to fulfil the fixture after close to 20 members of the Red Hands squad tested positive for the Kerry county board agreed to delay the semi-final by a week and Tyrone somehow summoned up the energy to produce arguably the county's greatest ever win.A Conor McKenna goal helped the Red Hands lead 1-7 to 0-9 at half-time and while Kerry forced extra-time after Cathal McShane had notched Tyrone's goal late in normal time, McShane's second goal proved decisive as the Kingdom were forced to play the final 20 minutes of action without injured David published in June 2023

What I do know is I won't go at the pace I did before whatever I do."Who knows. If you said when I finished playing for Tyrone, I would manage the Tyrone team, or the U21 team, I would say you're mad."Logan and Dooher guided Tyrone to the All-Ireland title in their first season in was just hours before a Football League derby against Derry when Logan became unwell and suffered a stroke."I'm probably old enough now to say never say never, but who knows what the future holds."I suppose the key thing is to keep well and I know I'll not be at the same pace I was at."Listen to Feargal Logan on The GAA Social here
