Tyrone Club Football and Hurling

[03,05,08]

The lights in Healy where constantly flickering last night, needs sorted

[skeog]

It was lights out for Trillick.

[Under Lights]

Donaghmore lack of championship pedigree could be telling at the end of this game

[Stan]

First championship game in about 5 years and Im going to need a double expresso to get back up the road.
Whose idea was it to throw games on this time of night?
And before anyone springs to the defence of the county board - having a family member or a friend on the county board isn't much to be boasting about if they're responsible for this shambles

the best club championship should be played in the very best conditions

[Eire90]

why these games behind a paywall and dublin is not

[LeoMc]

why these games behind a paywall and dublin is not

Dublin CB don't need the money.

[PMG1]

That has to be one of the biggest crowds at a first round game that I have ever seen, must have been 8-9k easy

[ONeill]

Really enjoyed those 2 games. Sometimes the quality can be lacking in the games with teams that aren't going to be thereabouts, but the tension is still there. Don't think we've seen the overall winners yet.

Impressive. But wont get a mention on bbc/itv yet coleraine newry with not 1000 at it will. Its near like Club Championship is the Gaa and its followers little secret and thats maybe no bad thing

Not a chance was there 8k there. Tyrone will declare 3.5/4K max for obvious reasons. The stand holds 5k but no way was there another 3/4K elsewhere - no chance.

This is very harsh on BBC, they mentioned the Trillick Dungannon game on BBC radio Ulster on radio morning. Their Gaa podcast just won an award. If anything RTE don't give enough coverage to the Tyrone championship, they leave us off the map of Ireland ffs

Surely the county board are entitled to make money off their games, to fund football in the county.
Dublin have other means to do this.
Also the league final should be played next weekend - to save both clubs a lot of money in the next 6-7 weeks. Manager fees, food costs, the cost of switching on floodlights, play it next weekend for the sake of both clubs and players.
Could live stream it too, probably make a few quid.

Dublin CB don't need the money.

[RedHand88]

why these games behind a paywall and dublin is not

Dublin are sponsored by an American insurance firm who turned over $500 billion last year.

Tyrone are sponsored by a steel fabricator in Ballygawley.

Dromore blew the socks of Killyclogher last night.  Pace, energy, turnovers & GOALS. Goals win games.. Mark Bradley a one man band in KC forward line. League form counts for nothing in the heat of battle under lights.
