Kileeshil must be one.

The double header planned for Killeeshil has been moved to Donaghmore now according to the Tyrone website. Brackaville v Fintona and Clogher v Eglish.

Interesting. I was looking at Killeshil for 4G coverage and while it exists it isn't super strong. Also Openreach's network checker doesn't give a result for their address! OTOH Fibrus gives a result back saying they'll cover it by the end of this year, but of course that's too late.

I suspect that the Rock might also struggle in having good 4G backhaul. This coming weekend will tell, I haven't been up there myself in several years.

I thought Kildress would have been in with a shout for championship match this year considering the facilities we have on offer now, pavilion, small stand and good surface. I also think the 4g is strong there too.

How does it work do u have to lobby the county board or apply or something??
Turnstiles

We play Edendork in Stewartstown - they don't have turnstiles
Neither does Garvaghy
Or The Rock
Fintona don't use theres

Also on the question of provider O2 and EE are very good and Vodafone is okay

The new building we built is state of the art and would probably be even more reliable to hook to the comms room which runs the building Wifi and other stuff i dont have a clue about

JUST THINKING WHY DONT WE HAVE THE COUNTY FINAL AT GORTACLADDY! :)

Gortacladdy a superb setup and always well stewarded and setup, should at least be considered for early rounds.
Fintona have also a superb setup, but if they are to get championship games it has to be daytime only. A stand for supporters is a must at a champ match.

Good facilities in kildress but lack of parking would definitely be an issue.

Dropping Maguire and Shaw and AWB and Fred has been the change. Whatever about attitude and heart etc we've stopped making stupid mistakes and can actually defend for a change. Even when Arsenal had the ball they created very little. Their goal was a fluke, interception fell right to Saka. A good win but bigger challenges await.

Correct

I'll never really understand United fans' obsessive dismay at the Glazers taking money out of the club.

They've bankrolled a series of managers and have matched the salaries of any club in the world. This doesn't make them generous of course, but f**k me just how much money does a club need to spend before success should be inevitable? Would another £300m really have made a difference the past few years?

Who do you support? Would you like the glazers taking over your club in a similar way as what they've done at man united? They purchased the club using a £600million loan and burdened the club with that debt. Not a penny of their own was used. That debt still stands at £600 million 19 years on and £817 million has been paid out in interest payments, by the club not the glazers. The average dividend they take out of the club each year is £22 million. The money spent on transfers during this period is money generated by the club, not out of the glazers pocket. Add in the fact Old Trafford is crumbling and the training ground lags behind most premier league clubs, surely you can see why man united fans want them out.

@gaafan2, is it true that Gortin didn't accomadate the fixture change for Hugh pats wedding? Ironic if true given the abuse the rock took recently from mcgarvey and co

Correct. Game goes ahead on Sunday as scheduled.

Great win for our lads against Gortin who are on a great run of form in what was a hostile environment. And a great performance in memory of the late Noel Tracey. Well done all.

Two very impressive results away from home from the tones. They done Noel proud this evening for sure. Looks like we gave them the kick up hole they needed  ;)

For as long as I can remember we would always have had our youth teams in either grade 1 or 2. This past 5-6 years the mindset within the club has changed and our teams have be competing at grade 3. Yes we may be winning the majority of games we play in but I wouldn't be for it. Our standards seem to have slipped, which is down to playing against weaker teams. Better to be competing well in grade 2 than winning grade 3 titles imo.

Strange case this but posting here to see if anyone who uses this board can share with friends in USA. Sounds like the Jacksonville Sheriff Office aren't assisting would this not be strange?

Is he from Pomeroy originally?

Yes originally from Pomeroy, moved to the US 13 years ago I believe. Very sad indeed and the longer it goes on, the more hope diminishes.

Yep, didn't they absolutely walk the G2 u15 Feile..

seeing many examples of this across the ages this year.. Edendork in G3 u13..NBrid in G4 13..

have to bring in some rule here, whether its league form contributes to championship grade or whatever..

U15 comp should be pushed back to August/September.. stupid starting it 12th week

They hammered Eskra in the semi and then us in the final. There was only a point between us and Strabane in our semi.

Yes definitely too strong for grade 3. The powers that be within our club can't see past winning grade 3 titles. This past few years all our youth teams have been operating at grade 3 when if truth be told must of the teams would compete in grade 2.

Some interesting results tonight:
Greencastle return to Senior going well with big win over Moortown (Think they celebrated too long after beating Ardboe... was a mini champo session I believe)
Owen Roes go to Pomeroy and turn them over

Also on another note what is up with 2 senior teams not being able to field a reserve team so early in the year???

Owen Roes worthy of their victory. Packed their defence, we couldn't break them down and then hit us on the break. Shite football to watch but that's obviously the way they've decided to set up. Can't see us doing anything this year.

Short memories in greencastle and particularly Sean Teague. Pomeroy beat them in an U21 championship a few years ago. Greencastle managed by Sean Teague appealed the result based on Pomeroy playing an underage player - Kieran McGeary. Pomeroy were thrown out of the competition.

Precedent set last night. Going forward a headlock should be an automatic red card.

Bullshit, he hasn't even taken a training session as yet and won't be for a good few weeks.

Moortown will never have a better chance of winning an Ulster Club.

Steelstown have to be favourites
I hope they win but what are you basing this on?

I've seen both of them numerous times this season, and i'm also of the opinion that Steelstown would wipe the floor with Moortown

Division 2 in Tyrone was considerable weaker this year due to no relegation from 1 last year but promotion from 2. Moortown wouldnt have stood a chance of winning the tyrone intermediate championship had any one of the 4 teams relegated this year been involved.
