A lot of their main men have suffered badly with injuries. Justy and Joe had their last decade ravaged with injuries. O'Neill had a bad cruciate injury when he was 18/19 and never properly came back from it. Clarke looked like he was going to become a county mainstay for the rest of his career but he was also unable to recover from a cruciate injury.

For the numbers available the town teams like Omagh, Dungannon, Cookstown and Strabane severely underachieve. To be fair the Omagh they have produced a fair few county players in recent years but we had no county lads from Dungannon, Cookstown or Strabane on the county panel last year. Those 3 towns alone could account for around 20% of the nationalist population in Tyrone

Omagh have 2 championships in 6 years since 2014, any club would take that.

Serious rain falling here, potential threat to the games later on?

I agree it's a bit like year or so ago when clonoe beat dromore in carrickmore when game shouldn't of been played..might play into clonoe hands heavy wet pitch.. drainage wouldn't be great about carrickmore. I'd imagine coalisland killyclogher game could be moved maybe loughmacrory.

Goals_Will_Come

Athletic Grounds Wednesday night for a double header if Healy can't hold a refixture mid week.

For some reason the town teams take more flack from people on this board even though one look at championship roll of honour will show dungannon coalisland omagh and clonoe (coalisland area) in the top 5 so the facts dont back up the claims!

Wouldn't really class coalisland and clonoe as town teams

Knock Yer Mucker In

How could anyone call Clonoe a town team, when they aren't a town. Its a parish divided by four clubs.

Obviously .... was merely trying to point out that alot of clonoe players live, grow up or spend alot of time in coalisland

Peter Harte was very good yesterday. Canavan very lively in the first half. Errigal were in total control throughout. Omagh very deep in the first half with the breeze - couldn't understand why Barry Tierney was playing in the full back line, not long after he pushed up he created Omagh's goal but game was over at that stage.

Trillick vs. Clonoe and Coalisland vs. Killyclogher have now been moved to Pomeroy - throw-in times unchanged.

Info on the evening double header in Healy Park to be confirmed shortly.
Games moved to Fintona this evening for the double header.

Drove through six mile cross yesterday on the way to the errigal Omagh game.
It's a fairly big village, they obviously don't have a GAA team there so what club would claim this population?
