Tyrone Club Football and Hurling

[ClubScene13]

They finished below Clonoe and Coalisland last year and lost to both of them. Good pre season if that counts for anything but I wouldn't have them over those two.

Any word on league fixtures?

[soloandgo25]

Any updates on league fixtures being released?

Side note - some of the results in the Jim Devlin cup have been farcical or possibly worrying...

[Tyrone Gaa]

Wouldn't worry about the Jim Devlin results until the later stages then you'll see the teams meeting that place some value in the competition.

Personally I think it's a good opportunity for clubs and referees to get a run out and test the new rules before the league kicks in.

Good initiative from county board to bring it back. 

[Goals_Will_Come]

Don't think many will be worrying too much about the Jim Devlin or McGarrity  Cup results. Regardless of form at this stage its unlikely we're looking at anything different apart from the obvious contenders in Senior, Intermediate and Junior.

Senior - Errigal, Trillick followed by Dungannon, Killyclogher, Loughmacrory and Dromore.
Intermediate - Eglish, Clonoe, Coalisland followed by Moy, Aghyaran, Greencastle and Rock.
Junior - Cookstown, Clogher followed by Drumragh.

Wouldn't read anything into the pre-season results either. Been at plenty of Jim Devlin/McGarrity games back in the day when Team A hammered Team B yet when the same 2 teams played weeks later in the league it would be a much different outcome.

[GaelTheGael]

Are all teams sorted with management? Who did Pomeroy get to take over from Paul Bradley?

Would you rule Strabane out of Junior? They took Cookstown out in the Ulster League final, surely they might have something about them.

Don't see it with them. Downward trajectory the last few years and no real injection of new players coming through - highlighted by not much impact on Tyrone panels since Oran McGrath in 2022 and Kevin Nelson on the Minor squad in 2023. Would go as far as to say I would fancy Glenelly before Strabane.

Sorry lads but you are totally overlooking greencastle, good young squad with a bit of flair, few lads back from Australia this year and wont be far away, the experience of the team that won div 1 in 2021 are slowly stepping away allowing young blood to come through. Dont over look the dark horse.

I think its fair to say that Greencastle aren't the favorites for Intermediate this year. Nevertheless, they are a hard team to beat with some very handy players and as a team are usually very well set up with most teams finding them difficult to break down. If they can get things right they could give the League and Championship a run surely but from the outset wont be the bookies favorite.

[Sean Og Patriots]

Greencastle could give Junior a run next year.

Will be harder for most club teams to setup well and be difficult to break down in the new game.  More defensive minded teams will have to change tact to an extent as going to be difficult to win games by scoring less than 15 points.

You needed more than 15+ points to win games regularly in the old rules. I think it is going to take 22/23+ points to win games in the new rules once every team gets into the full swing of how best to utilise and play the rules.
