There is a report of another Covid-19 outbreak in the Tyrone campTyrone county board has confirmed that “a number of players” are self-isolating pending the outcome of Covid-19 tests. This follows positive tests that affected members of the county senior football panel and management prior to last weekend’s Ulster Championship final in Croke Park. Assistant manager Fergal Logan was unable to attend the Ulster final and players Frank Burns, Rory Brennan, Tiernan McCann and Richie Donnellly were all late losses from the panel. Covid has already impacted on the inter-county championship with Dublin hurlers hit by withdrawals before their Leinster final loss to Kilkenny. Last year Sligo had to withdraw from the championship because of Covid cases in their camp.
