Tyrone Club Football and Hurling

[LeoMc]

4 divisions of 12 teams, playing home and away is 22 games per team. Starting at the beginning of April (this year Sunday 07th) and playing a game every weekend would take us through to 15th September if the 2 week July break is to remain. That gives us 6 weeks to run off the championship before the Ulster club begins and we commence with promotion / relegation play offs in late October.

So start training in January, play until November if you make play offs. Play every week bar 1 (holiday) and until you go out in champo. Some lifestyle for the players as well

I am not advocating it. I am pointing out the reality of a 22 game league season.

Gortin and Moy are starting to pull away as the top 2 in division 2. They are fixed to play each other on the last game of the league which could effectively make that game a league final.

The division 3 league will be decided this weekend with aghaloo playing Drumquin.

Easttyrone23, were you impressed by the Clarkes last night. Coming to the boil at the right time of the season

I see the table has been updated. Very tight at the bottom. Coalisland Vs Clonoe play off would be something to spectate saying the play-offs are played post championship where they meet in the first round, although I do see both teams escape the play off. Coalisland wont be a nice team to play now after last night. Was watching Clonoe last night... What is it that Trillick just cant beat Clonoe. Is it fear factor? Trillick boys seem to be very timid when it comes to pushing and shoving.

Last year current champions means very little. Been a long time since we had back to back winners.

If Trillick and Clonoe happen to meet in the championship I'd be willing to have a wee bet with you if you fancied Clonoe

Some big 4 pointers coming up. Omagh appear to have the best run in. Clonoe and Edendork the hardest run in.

[Onthe40]

Omagh might have best run in on paper but
can't see them beating carmen or Clonoe away on current form
Ardboe and Donaghmore will give them their fill
English probably gone and Trillick maybe safe at this stage

all to play for

That is possible, Will Clonoe get past Coalisland first though?

[Sean Og Patriots]

Trillick (14pts)
Donaghmore (12pts)
Coalisland (11pts)
Edendork (10pts)
Clonoe (10pts)
Ardboe (9pts)
Omagh (8pts)
Eglish (2pts)

Thats how it finishes imo.

Omagh relegated! Jees! They'll be pinning that to the dressingroom wall! 

[ClubScene13]

With Ardboe Omagh Coalisland all playing Eglish and then Ardboe also playing Omagh / Coalisland there could be a right oul point total required to avoid playoffs.

Did Coalisland get 10 last year and still had to face play offs?

You'd like to think 11+ you should be sound but that's a lot of games between the bottom 4 where points are going to be picked up between them.

Dungannon are flying, putting up a serious amount of scores now.

Coalisland are in trouble one of these years, playing with fire a while now

Coalisland had 10 points and faced playoffs and that's with Greencastle finishing bottom on 6 points. If Eglish were to stay on 0 points then it will take a higher total this season to stay safe. 12 points may or may not do it. Pretty sure no team has ever been relegated on 13 points in Division 1 or 2 so that is the magic number really.

The gap is narrowing all the time, the relegation picture in Senior has been some viewing this last few years. I'd like to keep the format we have now as the league is also in a brilliant place right now. Big big clubs getting drawn in every year when they would have pissed survival due to a big drop in quality among the bottom 5/6 not that long ago.

Just very difficult when Tyrone are near enough guaranteed last 12 in AI and teams with big county representation probably don't want to budge on 5 starred games (as they're entitled to do).

A crazy August is going to be the norm going forward unless Inter-County format changes again or Tyrone County Board think about tweaking.
