1-16 to 2-13 AET.

Must have been a cracker.

Isnt this thread a bit premature?

Isnt this thread a bit premature?

Just like everyone from Tyrone

Would that have been Tyrones championship XV? I think Meath were missing a few lads. Can't find much of a detailed report anywhere.

Oh its all gone quiet over here.

What's the Story lads?
Are we happily waiting in the long grass or have we any news?
How's all yer county players getting on with yer clubs?
How's the McGuigan, Cavanagh,McMahon brothers all doing.
Could we have all 6 starting on 8th June

Dooher seems to be making good progress again I believe though haven't saw him myself.

I was at a wedding there recentrly with a large Down crowd and sounds like yer not too optimistic at all at all.
All yer promising minors don't seem to be cutting thru and Ross can't be a miracle worker I was told.

Tommy McGuigan had to go off injured against Omagh on sunday after 10-15 mins - looked like a hamstring injury  Brian was quiet by his standards.

Joe McMahon played for Omagh and was quiet enough, Justin McMahon was not playing.

Any word on whether Mulligan played last night? I see McGinley got the line against Eglish for 2 yellows. McCullagh kicked 8 points for Dromore and saw a report from their game last week that McMenamin played very well. Saw in the Times that Cavanaghs,Mellon and Jordan kicked something like 1-15 between them v Moortown, with Mellon getting 7 and C Cavanagh 1-3. Hopefully we can stay injury free for the next 5 months and pick up wins against Down, Armagh, Derry, Meath, Dublin and Kerry to win Sam.

The answer to that is in your name TD   

[Tyrone Dreamer]

Aye your probably right, probably is unrealistic to expect Meath to get to the quarters again this year.

So you have stopped attending the games now!!!

[Fuzzman]

Had to look in page three for this thread. Has the long grass really got that bad?

Actually I haven't saw Page 3 since the visit to the maternity hospital.

Heard a story at the weekend from a Donegal man in the know that in the recent Tyrone fitness test Dooher managed 8 mins in the dreaded Plank test.
You know the wan where ye lye on yer back & ye keep yer legs a few inches off the ground.

5 mins is meant to be great for real athletes but 8 mins is unreal he said.

How's the other squad members fairing out?
Any news from the weekend camp?

Is Tommy still injured?
What about Justy?

It could be a hard road via Ulster this year with Down, Armagh & maybe Derry or Monaghan in the way.
I don't think I could face another 10 match run again this year lads.
