Great crowd at the game, Omagh were superbly drilled and tackling was first class. Trinity were much more physical but didn't seem to gel, Omagh definitely the better team. Fair play. Omagh have underachieved recently but great to see them back at the top of the pile

How on earth did that Holy Trinity team even make the final? Was the standard that bad among all the other teams they played?

Well Maghera coaching is awful and has been this long time so that's probably the reason they won the quarter final.
Having watched the quarter final, I don't think that's true. Maghera were very unlucky not to win it. Young lads are unpredictable.
Walter is 100%. Maghera had too many passengers and players who werent comfortable on the ball compared to that omagh team today especially in defence.

They've a manager who doesn't attend club games so can't have a clue whats going on and spent most of the QF shouting and arguing with opposition mgmt.

Limited subs made yet there were lads cramping all over the place.

Maghera's raw talent, especially those glen and slaughtneil lads who have came through, got them over the line.

Hope HTC are on half term this week. Wee crabbit Pete would go through them.
I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

That was a pish poor effort from Cookstown. A  year wasted for the 8th years

What I saw of it they had plenty of possession but they did nothing with it. There were so many times they got into the Omagh half only to be easily dispossessed. They weren't even kicking wides most of the time. Never saw so many unforced errors.

It really did look like a wel gelled team against good lads that werent a unit.

E.g.
Ardboe lads seemed to only pass to ardboe lads

ONeill

Yeah they seemed to want to play like the county sides - a lot of slowing the ball down, trying to be patient. It didn't work at all. Omagh went at them.

I was at a few group games, every team playing the same awful type of shite that HTC were at today, hard to watch.

The amount of times HTC stood still soloing the ball and doing nothing with it was crazy. The only time they played with a bit of pace they got the goal from it. McKeever, McGeary & Canavan had them very poorly set up. At the same time Omagh had much the better players all over the pitch so maybe there wasn't much they could do.

It's a disgrace that 2 Tyrone schools contest the final. What's worse 3 Tyrone teams in the semis.  Favoritism the likes of I've never seen.  >:(Next we'll hear is that Errigal Ciaran get a bye to the final and not a grammar school within 15 miles of it!!

To make matters worse , Tyrone teams have cleaned up the A B & C grades !

It's time to split Tyrone schools!

I thought some of the commentators saying that the majority of the Donaghmore McLarnon team were lower sixth. If so, they  could be looking at competing in the McRory next year.
