Tyrone County Football and Hurling

[Tres Bien]

That u20 team should be winning an AI with that oustanding minor team from last year progressing through, the two minor sides the year before had some very good forwards like young Canavan and Fullerton from Carrickmore that should both be u20 next year.

Does anyone know what the story is with Mark Devlin of Moortown? I saw him play for the minors two years back and he was head and shoulders Tyrone's best player but hasn't played u20 the past two years. A real classy heavy scoring no 11. Has he been injured?

Hi Mark welcome to the forum.

How many fake Sam Maguire cups is there running about Tyrone at the minute? Must 4/5 of them at this stage. Lol

Is there a real one at all or are they all fake? Did HQ ever release it? I saw there was one in Belfast the other day.

Last I heard he doesn't play for Moortown anymore and has taken up golf

He got a scholarship in America for it- couldn't blame him for taking a once in a lifetime opportunity

he hasn't played enough minutes to win it, so you would imagine Oisin Mullen will get it.

Mullin missed the semi final and had a poor final, got badly caught out for the McShane goal.

Two of Mayo's games in Connacht were turkey shoots against Div 4 Sligo and Leitrim. He had a pretty poor year, an excellent player though.

Canavan had three fleeting appearances.

Tierney probably the most deserving winner, hit 1-03 against Roscommon to put them in the Connacht final. May have been the MOTM.

As I said on the other thread, the YFOTY award is outdated, very few players are playing senior intercounty football under the age of 21 now and certainly very few are having any sort of meaningful impact.

Generally players are not at the physical level required until their early 20s. When was the last 19/20 year old we had burst on the scene having a meaningful impact? Was it McCurry back in 2012?

You are correct about Mullen this year but with McGeary expected to win footballer of the year they aren't going to give Tyrone the 2 awards, and they aren't going to give young player to a losing provincial finalist, so they will pacify Mayo with the young player award I feel.

From reading the paper this morn I was surprised to see that Packie McConnell never won an All Star not to mention never even been nominated for one.  Crazy considering the save that basically won them the All ireland in 08.
