Omagh beat Kildress tonight, 0-16 to 1-10 to win the grade 1 minor championship in Loughmacrory. We had a great first half but Omagh really lifted it in the second half despite having a man sent off, with Ronan O'Neill the difference between the sides really.

This victory sees Omagh team manager KennyClarke make history, haven also played on the Omagh teams which won the football and hurling minor championship double back in 1983 .

Well done Kenny and Omagh. Very strong at underage as always. Lets hope we can translate this into O'Neill cups in the not too distant future.

Omagh have had excellent underage teams for many's a year due to recruiting the best of the players in the area but one has to ask the question why the dearth of senior champioships- don't seem to have have the heart at senior level that the likes of Carrickmore, Ardboe, Errigal, Dromore and Clonoe have-is this something inherent in Omagh at senior level? A club with the pick they have should have won the O'Neill cup a few more times. When the chips are down they have crumbled.

League and championship flat out now. No more distractions now.

Has Mickey's loyalty to the "auld hands" cost us against Cork? - thought that Gormley, Jordan, Harte and the entire half forward line were absolutely brutal - time for fairly major surgery I fear.

Time to reflect I suppose.Perhaps his loyalty has also reaped rewards as well in the past. Some you win, some you lose.

I reckon he'll bring in a few of last years minors and dispense with some lads who have not cut the mustard.

Time for Kyle Coney and Niall mc kenna to enter the fray.
and Squad members like Aidan Cassidy and Sean O'Neill to be broken into the side who both came on and were the positives in a lack luster performance today, although in the aftermath we can over-react all little by this defeat i dont think its as bad as people are saying wer still one of the top 3 teams in Ireland. maybe on another day another ref things coulda been different

Which Minors they are you talking about? Have these Minors the quality of the class of '98

Just watched The Sunday Game and we were definitely as bad as people are saying. Thought the Ref was bad but no way did he cost us the game - we just couldn't cope with Cork's speed and strength. Unfortunately.
