Our county is now on the brink of making history with our senior and minor football teams preparing to contest the all-Ireland Finals in a unique (for Ulster ) double-header on Sepember 21. It has been a low-key campaign so far, unlike the steady build up of 2003 and 2005 Championships, but now is the time for everyone in Tyrone to get behind Mickey Harte, Raymond Munroe and their magnificent football teams.

Let's hang out our brightest colours of white and red and wear a smile – or even a beard – to show the lads that we are fully behind them as the Red Hands reach for greatness once again. With a winning attitude, we can help bring home Sam Maguire and Tommy Markham cups.

Come on Tyrone, you're on your own.
