Tyrone County Football and Hurling

[ONeill]

Worked hard for those points tonight. When the game was in the melting pot I worried about the inexperience of  the side but this will stand to them. They came through it, albeit with Morgan, McCurry and Canavan driving them home. Still a work in progress.

The minutes will do McShane good. Don't think those conditions suit his game. McGeary was busy in the first half and seemed to be getting some form back. Kilpatrick, Harte and McKernan were a loss.

Some thoughts

Devlin in the corner looks tidy. Clarke also worked a good ball out when he came on at the end. Not sure on Quinn at this level.

Hampsey off the pace throughout and m likely hampered by injury

Cullen another decent showing. McGeary also looked to have a bit of drive about him.

Donaghy at midfield has good potential and gets his head up for pass

McShane movement sharp but for sure struggled with the back and forward running after being out so long

Great to win this type of game

A good league campaign, should stay in Div 1 - blooded a lot of new players, got some of the older players game time. If they can get a full squad available it's a group capable of winning an All Ireland.
They had some serious players missing last night - Hampsey,McGeary,  Kennedy, off the pitch in the last ten mins with the likes of McKernan, Harte, Kilpatrick all out along with the other longer terms such as Meyler and Burns. If they could get everyone back in the next few weeks - would be a very strong squad

Kerry beat Roscommon.. thats Tyrone safe now. Next week's trip to Croke Park a dead rubber. Well done management and players. Critics and Harte disciples will have to hold fire until championship...

Really positive staying in Div 1 with such a turnover of players.

God jr snr living up to the hype God jr jr hopefully not far behind.

McShane back and Mattie there as well, great to see.

Some of the younger players did very well and if not starting certainly offer options from the bench.

Just wonder how much the lack of having a settled starting 15 play together will hinder the team. Would expect they need 2-3 games to click, which they won't have in Ulster.

Still....Happy with all that so far.

Will the Omagh pitch be fit to hold the U20 game tomorrow night? surely there must be some consideration to switching venue

Could we not have hosted this in Garvaghey, Coalisland or Stewartstown?

Result and performance would be concerning considering the amount of talent at their disposal, particularly forward talent.

Hogan Cup hero Callum Daly completes Tyrone comeback to reel in defending champions Down
Red Hands come from six behind as Mournemen U20s remain winless after two games

EirGrid Ulster U20 Football Championship Section A: Tyrone 0-11 Down 1-8
DEFENDING champions Down are still without a win in the current Ulster U20 Championship campaign after Tyrone came from six points behind to earn a draw at the Dub last night.

Hogan Cup winning captain Callum Daly came off the bench to grab a stoppage-time leveller for the Red Hands as they finally found a way to break down a packed defence.

Down dropped 15 men into their own half, repeatedly thwarting their opponents throughout the first half, and picking off scores on the breakaway.

Dara Mussen and Jamie Doran registered the only points of a low-scoring opening quarter, as the Mournemen led by 0-2 to 0-1, before Oisin Gormley finally got Tyrone off the mark in the 17th minute.

Doran was on target with his second long-range free, and with Ronan Kelly and Tom McCarroll leading the Down charge with their strong running, they continued to raid from deep.

With composure in possession, they crafted another score through Senan Carr, and despite losing full-back David Ruddy to a black card, grabbed a goal with another swift breakaway, finished on 26 minutes by Donal Scullion, to lead by 1-4 to 0-2 at the break.

The Red Hands closed the gap through Ronan Cassidy and Conor Owens (2), but remained vulnerable on the break, with Luke Quinn racing clear for another Down score.

But their six-point lead had been trimmed back to two by the end of the third quarter, and Cormac Devlin made it a one-point game.

Doran kept the Mourne side in front, but late points from Conor Owens and Daly tied it up, though Tyrone will reflect on their wides count of 17, against Down's sole miss.

That group of players kicked themselves out of the All-Ireland Minor Final in 2021 as well. Looks like it's something they really need to improve on.

Is Ruari McHugh injured?

[Mikhailov]

Looking forward to Croker on Sunday. This will be a test but with it being the last match before championship then we must use it for real benefit.

Darragh v Conn and Dazzler v Mannion

Looking for another good performance to back up last week - if we can get consistency then that will be a massive plus to our game
