Callum Daly looks a prospect cool calm and collected as they say.

Where did the commentary go??

Don't know if it was technical difficulties but there seemed to be big periods of silence.

[bennydorano]

Omagh pulled away at the end but I didn't think they were streets ahead of Dungannon as Niblock and Morgan constantly were laying on thick, DG got level with about 10 to go then a goalkeeping error let Omagh back in front and really killed DG.

Fair play to young Holmes on the DG side, a great performance,the same lad was carried off in the semi with an injury I thought looked bad (obviously not that bad). The other wing back Neeson had a great game too, but you could have driven a bus down the Dungannon CHB channel for most of the game. Overall i thought it was a quality contest but still plenty of mistakes from both sides.

Yeah they said technical difficulties and apologised for it. You could even faintly hear the commentary in the background.

Good game. Felt Dgn def closer but the goal they conceded was a killer. Holmes probably best on show for Dgn with 6 also putting in a good shift. Young McKeown(?) from Ardboe no. 12 had a good game as well. Dgn missed a open goal in 1st half and that might have put a different complexion on the game.
Omagh have some very talented lads. 6 definitely one for the future. 8 also had an excellent game. They worked the same kickout over and over and Dgn still couldn't stop it. Picked off their points well.

If you put those two teams and Donaghmore together there is some talent in Tyrone. Hopefully the county can bring them through.

yeah, two years in succession we have had 3 semi finalists from Tyrone schools.
The addition of Diarmaid McNulty to the county U20 coaching set up seems like a good move as well.
The U20's isnt straight knoackout anymore, its moved to a league format. I think this will suit too

[Onthe40]

Decent game, Omagh always looked as if they were in control despite the goal chances Dungannon had which should've been taken and could've very much changed the outcome
Dungannon scoring threat was bit limited up front
Though you'd have to think their in with a big shout in the next few years with the good rannafast Squad coming through and the strong 4th year squad below that

though that is no guarantee as it was interesting to hear that particular Omagh year group won nothing the whole way through their school journey until now

Omagh though could begin to dominate now with the catchment area they have  and a non academic path into the school available.. Dungannon, Cookstown, Donaghmore now pulling from same area and ballygawley pulling in lads too that maybe previously went to dungannon

Overall though the tyrone schools are getting better

Maybe its the move from St Patricks day for the MacRory cup but whole BBC presentation and build up was poor.  Having been so good in the past at previewing and covering the final, how and why has the ball been dropped. This used to be a live TV event..

Is this true? Jesus, the catchment area is already giant without that being the case. I think St Pat's Maghera is the same though not 100%. They obviously have St Mary's to compete with at least, Omagh have free reign from Greencastle to Trillick

[Onthe40]

yep both Omagh grammars (girls & boys) have that option
don't know details on criteria/numbers etc but there is a path

[imtommygunn]

Listening to that podcast and you hear the numbers etc. 85 looking to get in the squad - mad amount. Also the setup sounds incredibly professional and probably is in a lo of other schools too. Shows you what the schools who aren't competing need to do and what they are up against.
