Tyrone Club Football and Hurling

[nothingbettertobeat]

Any truth in the rumour that Eskra vs Killyman was abandoned today? Rumour is there was a bit of a riot?

There's no result in for it on the website.

Good investigating OM, looks like no smoke without fire. Wonder what went down?

Other D2 results:

3 45 pm     Strabane Sigerson's     0-10  v     Clann na Gael                     1-11     
3 45 pm    Killeeshil St. Mary's    0-9    v    Greencastle St. Patrick's    3-15    
3 45 pm    Cookstown Fr.Rocks    1-12    v    Urney St. St. Colmcille's    1-10    
3 45 pm    Rock St. Patrick's    0-9    v    Augher St. Macartan's            0-9    

Heard that Killeshil where going to be missing a few players who where going to America?  Are they way yet?  Bad beating at home today for them. 

Didn't hear, but from watching them yesterday it certainly looked like it. Greencastle were in control of the game right from the start.




Cilliseal missing 3 very important players for the next month.its there centre half forward packie mc mullan away to new york, Along with midfielder and probably most vital absence Gary Reilly who would contribute to 30% for their scores and one other senior player nat sure who he is tho.
they seemed to be doing well had only lost one game up until them leaving.but i believe they will be back mid august for when the championship is set to resume.

Very impressed with Omagh's spirit yesterday. 4 down at half-time, they came back and blew Donaghmore off the pitch with a 15 minute blitzkrieg in the last quarter. Some magnificent scores taken. Young McKenna was plucking them out of the air for the visitors, but they seemed to tire badly towards the end. Errigal away next up for Omagh. Very tough.

One of my favourite words.

[Final Whistle]

*Eskra Killyman game abandoned due to interference with referee!

What happened?

Just heard from my second (Killyman) source at the game which ties in with my Eskra source.

Fergal Daly (Gortin) the ref sent off a Killyman player. He was then questioned by a number of St.Mary's players as to the reasoning and lost the head supposedly. He was not abused physically although none of my sources were able to confirm or deny whether he was verbally abused.

Storm in a tea cup, game should have been finished.

The inconsistency of Tyrone refs is quite startling.

On the one hand you have Donal O'Neill/ Marin Sludden to a lesser extent, quite fine refs if your prepared to mix it and get stuck in cos they wont get too worried. On the other hand we have a lot of over fussy, look at me refs, such as the man from Castlederg and the one mr.hughes!

Can we have some consistency in this?

Its east to fade when time and time again the referee dosent let the best team on the pitch pull away, admittedly Omaghs ezqualiszing goal was a catalogue of errors.  On a plus point Omaghs a strong side and are a decent enough dark horse this year,  I would have had many fears when I seen Justy Mc moving onto Niall Mc Kenna but what a performance by Niall, winning that hands down -  he must have taken 5 or 6 above him in the second half alone, a great battle.  I always thought he was a few years away but maybe he'll progress quicker.

Aw to think what aughers midfield could have been - Aidy Cass and Niall McKenna   

[rrhf]

Maybe some day a Tyrone midfield pairing .   Mc Mahon is a Tyrone colossos, its just nice to think that theres maybe more to come on the conveyor belt in the next few years.

I have not heard anything of him for while. What way is Aidy Cassidy now injury wise?

From Irish Examiner today:
Seán Cavanagh questions and answers, by Brendan O'Brien

Monday, July 06, 2009

BRENDAN O'BRIEN: My worst Injury...

SEÁN CAVANAGH: "It would have been the middle of 2007. I came back against Cork and I was only back two weeks and I started to get a niggle in my right knee. I actually had a history with jarring it.  I went to a specialist who told me there was bone rubbing against bone in my knee and he actually looked at me and told me I should be limiting the amount of games I was playing to five or six a year. To hear that when you are only 23, 24 years of age is quite scary, but I have been lucky enough to have good physios ever since and I have been able to build up the muscles in my leg to alleviate some of the pressure on my knee."

BO'B: I Wish I'd Scored ...

SC: "The obvious one from GAA that stands out is probably the one Maurice Fitzgerald scored for Kerry against Dublin a few years back in Thurles, the sideline from around 50 yards out with the outside of the boot. That was a real pressure situation. I've always been a big basketball fan too and some of the pressure situations that Michael Jordan was in, taking the ball with a second to go and getting the basket to win. Some of them were in NBA finals."

BO'B: Is wearing the county jersey as important as ever?

SC: "People talk about players being only club or inter-county players but there is room for both in the present game. Whenever you first pulled on the county jersey you thought there was nothing like it. You can maybe underestimate it sometimes. You get used to it but Mickey Harte doesn't allow you pull on the jersey for a single game without giving you some sort of a summary on it. The words he uses really hit home. Then there is the Cormac McAnallen thing and some of the heartbreaking injuries some Tyrone players have had in recent years and you realise the privileged position you are in."

BO'B: The most important qualities an inter-county player needs are . . .

SC: "Probably commitment, drive and energy. It is a bit of a cliché but some of the most talented players in our Tyrone squad are sitting on the bench at the moment and probably won't get within five places of the team. You look at Brian Dooher there, training night in and night out, sometimes at home on his own, and that shows you how strong and determined he is. He is the epitome of a GAA player or any sportsman."

BO'B: The one thing you would change about Gaelic football...

SC: "The likes of the square ball rules and maybe the stop-start attitude to the game some referees have. When we play International Rules the ball can be moved from your hand or foot from a free. It just makes the game so much more exciting and fast and players aren't being pulled back. There is no cynical play because the game just flows. I would be in favour of two referees also."

BO'B: How do you bring up an issue/problem with your manager?

SC: "You'd imagine he would be an approachable kind of guy, but he can be a hard enough fella to speak to.  In Tyrone we have the whole Jekyll and Hyde management because Mickey is very much into psychology. He can be a hard man at times because he keeps players at a distance. We have another guy, Tony Donnelly, who works with Mickey and is a massive players' guy. A lot of guys would go to him before Mickey Harte."

BO'B: Least favourite venue...

SC: "Ballybofey up in Donegal. I never seem to play well up there and it always seems to be windy and very cold. It is usually in February or March wet and no fun."

BO'B: Why do corner backs get a bad name?

SC: "Do corner backs get a bad name? I don't know. I suppose when you look at a guy like Ryan McMenamin you do have to give them a bad name, don't you?"

BO'B: How does football help you prepare for life outside the game?

SC: "Sport in general, that sort of commitment and association with team sports is massive. I know when we are interviewing for accountancy it is the first thing we will look for, those qualities that would be involved with football. Leadership, commitment and dedication. Whenever you understand that from a football point of view you can certainly bring it into any aspect of life and probably the workplace in particular."

BO'B: Is Pat Spillane better as a pundit than presenter?

SC: "He is certainly a better pundit than he was anchor. He didn't seem as happy as the anchor but I am sure that Pat is happy enough now back calling Francie Bellew a granny or whatever."
