Aghaloo were very unlucky to get relegated in 2021 over a variety of circumstances. 4 teams going down, Moortown finishing below them but winning the championship and Aghaloo doing their part in winning their game on the final day against Stewartstown only for Killeeshil to beat Aghyaran out of nowhere.
In reality they are probably too strong for Junior and would hold their own at Intermediate. Just a series of unlucky breaks and near misses have kept them down over the last two seasons. They look in a good position this season to go up via a championship win. Very impressive last night. Their forward line of Ruairi McGlone, Tiernan Donnelly and Niall McElroy is impressive and is on bar with some of the big contenders going for Intermediate success this year. Hopefully Aghaloo get their moment this year.

Can't agree with that.

Eskra used to be a decent team

One of those clubs that had a once in a generation team that managed to get to division 1 and then unfortunately nothing coming behind to sustain that. They are a better team than that drubbing they got last night.

Two huge calls went against them in the first half. Definite penalty not given when their midfielder was dragged down going though on goal. Ref too far behind play gave 13m free. Then the Aghaloo penalty in injury time at the end of the first half. Never ever a penalty. When you hear the Aghaloo supporters laughing at how lucky they were to get it you know it's a horrendous call.

Eskra went in 4 down at half time when in reality could have been in front if given the penalty and converted, or at very least just a point down without the Aghaloo one. Would have been more reflective of the tight first half.

Second half though was a 10-15 min collapse, which Aghaloo punished severely. They're a very good outfit.

Either them or Drumquin for championship.

Feck me
Bate by 17 points and still blaming the referee 🤣
Unfortunately for Eskra they can't get an Errigal Ciaran ref every week
Would have been much closer if they did

Not blaming the ref. Aghaloo thoroughly deserved to win. But that was a six point swing in the first half. Would it have had a bearing on the final result, who knows -  based on the second half that transpired,  no, but that's a serious swing approaching half time.

As for the Errigal ref thing, you've lost me, but I'm sure the point makes sense to you...

Can't agree with that.

Out of curiosity, where you at it?

No, I watched it on tv with the benefit of numerous replays.

Brocagh upset the Derg. Nobody gave them a chance like Brackaville last week.

Castlederg won 2-14 to 1-15 according to the website?

I don't think Drumquin will have enough. Between Kileeshil and Aghaloo for me. If I had to put my money on someone I'd go Kileeshil.

Clonoe and Coalisland minor game was feisty at times this morning with a row at  the end. The 2 upcoming Senior games will be worth going to, in fact the league playoff will be unmissable.

See the Moy won the reserve championship yesterday. Score at half time was 1point to 0 to the Moy.

Given it was a half decent day, was it a case of both teams going mad defensive, or, it being a reserve game a series of bad misses. Don't recall a score being that low at half time, regardless of the level

The Tatts are back!
Could they be the real dark horses for Junior?
Win the championship and they play Intermediate next season instead of the new bottom Division 3.
Similar scenario to Killyman all those years ago.

Our lads played Moy in SF and said they were ultra defensive so more of the same id say. Sad that ressies have now got to this point but I'm sure the lads from moy don't care

Any word on venues/dates for Junior Quarter Finals??
