Intermediate final in Fermanagh

Lisnaskea V Irvinestown

Fermanagh final on Sunday 20th

Enniskillen Gaels V Erne Gaels

Irish News back page this morning .

Ultan Kelm from Fermanagh and Eoin McElholm from Tyrone are to be offered contracts.

Eoin McEvoy from Derry and David Colbert from Dublin heading out to Australia today to take part in a combine event on the first weekend of October.

Huge losses for all counties but good luck to them.

Unaware of the Jones brothers situation. What is this?

From what I know one of them was dropped for the league final.

They walked out .

Have not been back

I think this isn't the first incident. Attempts to run the club over the last few years with threats of walking away.

Not sure.

Errigal Ciaran should have been knocked out this evening by Clonoe who are likely to be in Intermediate Championship next season. That's why Tyrone is the most dramatic. Would you have Glen in a position to be knocked out by the Derry equivalent. No chance. Replay next weekend.

No.

Proves the point about Tyrone club championship.
It's a poor standard when an intermediate team could knockout the potential senior champions.

Clonoe aren't an intermediate team though. Sitting middle of the table in Division 1.

Fair enough.
Only taking clarshack at his word.

Fermanagh now at the knockout stage

Derrygonnelly V Kinawley/Teemore

Enniskillen V Erne Gaels/Edenery

Derrygonnelly have been playing minus the three Jones brothers and they have remained unbeaten despite this.

Would Kilcoo or Glen win back to back Tyrone titles? Still think it comes down to successive success in your county enabling your team to navigate Ulster.

Yes

[Tyrone Clubs have a terrible record in this competition nearly as bad as my own county Cavan.]

Ulster Club is a great competition...For years Crossmaglen were top dogs, Tyrone and Derry have been consistently strong and by the looks of things will continue this way. Kilkoo in Down are so hard to beat and a great side. Donegal and Monaghan are usually strong too so in reality Ulster winners are not easily predicted.
Unfortunately IMO the tried and tested will come out on top again with either Glenn or Kilkoo as Ulster winners, I hope i'm wrong. Would love to see someone new make the break through...Carryduff maybe?

Is Karl Lacey still over Kilcoo?

Agreed, but they're quality sides and should be doing better. Why do they under perform in Ulster? or maybe that's their level and I think they're better than they actually are.

Tyrone teams aren't able to plan for Ulster, winning Tyrone is a job in itself, tapering and repeat opportunities being big components, if a team in Tyrone won 13 county titles in a row I'm sure they'd have converted a couple to Ulster success, at times in other counties the county champions season was only starting with the first round of Ulster



That Darren Hughes hit on Brannigan surely was a thing of beauty, and the winning of the game

Footnote neither Scotstown or Kilcoo won Ulster last year, so they both must be shite

As Tyrone is a knockout championship you now only need to win 4 games in Tyrone to win it.
That's the lowest of any county in Ulster.
Having watched Tyrone club championship it's nothing to do with tapering.
All Tyrone senior clubs are around the same level.
That makes it a very competitive championship but it's short on quality.
That's the reason they can't cut it at Ulster club level in the senior championship
It's also the reason they do so well at intermediate and senior
At those levels their club championships are well ahead of other counties at that level.

Sure they will only be back in for a few days and then will be off the bank holiday Monday .  Wasters

Ultan Kelm from Erne Gaels and Fermanagh away to Freemantle for a trial as well .

So no Rory ...

Welcome Rory

Pretty ungracious speech by Diana Armstrong. Thought she was better than that.

Really ?
Based on what.
She has form in this regard
