"I don't know how that's still working out," Cavanagh told The GAA Hour before the championship began. "I don't know how it's still working after 15 years but, look, it's something you can use sometimes to your advantage. "It's okay, I suppose!"Sunday was no different to any other day that Sean Cavanagh will be remembered for. A Tyrone win, a breathtaking Cavanagh display, and seven more points to add to his tally. The Moy man played every minute of Tyrone's opener and looked for all the world that he was doing it in third gear, even as he strode out of defence with the ball and punched holes in the Derry rearguard at the other end. The idea that Tyrone were in a slump was quickly destroyed but they do have Donegal next in the Ulster semi-final and that does represent a completely different threat. Still, 11 different scorers against the Oak Leafers will have been pleasing enough for the management team and it would've played its part in silencing the critics, for a few weeks at least, who say that Tyrone don't have enough firepower. There was even room for two points from Lee Brennan in the last seven minutes, the man who kicked 3-14 in a club game last month. Decent start.
