I would have thought LD would be favourites in that one. You'd expect LD, Cargin, Portglenone and then one other - maybe Creggan - to top groups.

Tyrone / Re: Tyrone Club Football and H...

Games could have still started next week. Round 3 had Donaghmore and Eglish playing each other. Why not make that the first round and redraw the remaining fixtures if that is the approach they are going with.

I also don't understand why it is such an issue this year that fixtures have to be redrawn. Cormac Munroe left the Tyrone panel last year once the league had started. There are probably others from last year as well which I can't remember as well. I can remember Clonoe once had 3 players leave the panel and there wasn't redraw of fixtures - so why is it a big issue this year?

The fixtures definitely were redone when those Clonoe players left

Maybe the best thing going forward is just leaving publishing fixtures until a week or so before the start date?

Antrim SFC draw
G1: Dunloy, Aldergrove, Làmh Dhearg, Naomh Éanna
G2: Cargin, Rossa, Tír na nÓg, St John's
G3:Portglenone, Ahoghill, Glenravel, Moneyglass
G4: St Brigid's, St Gall's, Aghagallon, Creggan

Interesting group 4. If only 2 make it out then I think 2nd spot in 3 of those groups very interesting and group 4 definitely the harder one to call.

The Group of Death looks very interesting. Some great matchups. Dunloy in Group 1 as well favs?

Panel named - obviously a few named won't be playing.

Do we know who is in the panel that hasn't been named that will be coming onto the bench?

Niall Loughlin not named on panel for one id say

[Who plays alongside McKinless in the event McEvoy and Doherty do indeed drop out?]

Galway half forward line is definitely their weakest line, and another option (Cathal Sweeney) just dropped out through injury. So if the Derry injuries do arise, it's probably the area you'd be able to troubleshoot best

Who plays alongside McKinless in the event McEvoy and Doherty do indeed drop out? I assume they won't move Rodgers back on Comer again, leaving the task to McKaigue?

Shea Downey, Gilmore, Eunan Mulholland would be the natural half backs on the bench. Declan Cassidy has been used in half forward but is a 'middle third' player so could be used. Emmett Bradley is the best player on the bench so if there's a re-jig they could try get him into the 15 if the likes of McFaul goes back into the half back line.

Both u20's can play half back, but it'd be a long shot they would be brought in for a start.

In short.....it's hard to know
