^Roche, Frank (15 September 2021). "'If somebody drops on this pitch, who's to blame?' – Tyrone players reveal the inside story of their Covid crisis". Irish Independent. Retrieved 15 September 2021. Two of Tyrone's Sam Maguire heroes have spoken publicly about the Covid-19 crisis that ripped through their squad earlier this summer and threatened their participation in the All-Ireland series. Niall Morgan and Conor Meyler disclosed how joint-managers Feargal Logan and Brian Dooher told the group of plans to withdraw from their rescheduled semi-final against Kerry because of the health implications… Both the netminder and Tyrone's play-anywhere No 10 were among those to test positive for the virus… Even though he was 'double-jabbed', Meyler was among those to contract Covid after the virus got into his own family home. 'I had no symptoms, and I wouldn't have known only I was made go for a PCR test', the Omagh clubman explained… Morgan also tested positive, having initially thought he was merely suffering from hay fever.
