Watched back sigerson final there. Conor Myler really was unreal from left half back. Going to be massive for us this year

Result from earlier today.
Kildare (u21) 2-11
Tyrone (u21) 0-14

Long spin to Kildare for a challenge game but probably seemed worth it as Kildare are favourites for Leinster. Good test all the same.

what was the team? who played well?

Jody McGlone and Mick McKernan were good in half back line. Fergal Meenagh and Conn Kilpatrick at midfield. Key men up front were David Mulgrew and Lee Brennan.

Is this Adrian Kilpatrick's son?

TYRONE Allstar Mattie Donnelly has been given the medical all-clear to face Cavan in the Allianz League Division One this weekend – but his brother Richie faces a two-month lay-off after suffering a fractured bone in his back.
Richie Donnelly has been blighted by injury since last summer. The Trillick man tore his Achilles in Tyrone's Ulster semi-final draw with Cavan in June which ended his campaign with the county team.
The talented wing-forward hasn't featured for Tyrone in 2017 and it looks as though he could be sidelined for the remainder of the Allianz League.
"It's very unlucky for him because he's a dedicated athlete," said Tyrone boss Mickey Harte. "He puts in a lot of hard work and there's nowhere he'd rather be than out on the field with the rest of the team.
"It sounds something like a stress fracture there which he probably didn't recognise at first.
"But it's transpired that is the case and it's something he'll have to tend to before he can get back out on the football field."
There was, however, some good news coming from the Donnelly household as Mattie has recovered from concussion.

Mattie suffered the head injury in the opening minutes of Tyrone's Division One win over Roscommon on February 5 and had to sit out the Dublin game at Croke Park six days later.
"I expect Mattie to be available," confirmed Harte.
"He passed all the medical procedures within seven days but since our game [against Dublin] came short of the seven days we had to hold him back.
"He would have felt well enough to play but it wouldn't have been prudent to ask him to play. So we observed the medical protocol to make sure he was over that and he is now and is available."
The Tyrone medical staff had to take particular care with Mattie's injury as he'd suffered concussion last year.
"Any history of it happening, I suppose, that increases the risk factor...
"Sometimes you have to take decisions out of the hands of the players and if they feel okay to play then they don't see any reason why they shouldn't play. But it's the long-term risk of re-occurrence.
"His health is the most important and football comes a long way after it."

yes, indeed it is.

[Fuzzman]

How good is this David Mulgrew fella? I saw him for the first time last Sat night against the Dubs and he's a lot bigger than I was expecting.

Is he mainly a wing forward? Who would you compare him to?

I would compare him to Colman Mulgrew. Very similar but better

He's deadly. He makes the u21s tick at centre half forward. He can play anyehere, but wing back or wing forward are probably his best positions. He's exceptionally good on the ball and very athletic. Not unlike Dooher in his hay day, but probably more skillful.

It's not like you Fuzzman - asking about a player and not enquiring if he can hit a free from the left hand side!! Mulgrew is a good player may even have another year at u21 as well I think.

Adrian had loads of ability and was a big unit. Is Conn similar?

i seen young mulgrew play for arboe against dromore in champ last year and he looked a real standout. think he scored 3 points.alot of potential there but prob a bit too good a footballer to be wastin his time in the current tyrone setup.

Ritchie Donnelly out for rest of league with a fractured vertebrae. A real pity as I thought he'd make a big impact this year. Hard to see him get much game time come championship considering the wealth of options in the middle 8.

A blow for him, did very well last year before injury ruled him out. He's a good man to chip in with a few points as well and kick off both feet so hopefully he can work his way back in but if he can't this year then it bodes well on those with the jersey right now.

Would like to see Conall McCann see some more time this year, from what I've seen with him from club action this year and in Sigerson, he really looks to have kicked on. He's got a nice bit of class about him as a footballer as well as being a big lad who can throw his size about.

He is yeah. Big block of a lad, very powerful and very mobile. Classic modern day midfielder
