Is there any truth that Dillion is the new Roger Casement's Portglenone Manager for 2019 as I heard from another source that he has come to a agreement with Pearce's Kilrea.

Also many other manager changes as lately? Cassidy committed to another year with the champions?

Westminster Election 2017:
Ian Paisley (DUP) 28,521 (58.9%, +15.7%)
Cara McShane (SF) 7,878 (16.3%, +4.0%)
Jackson Minford (UUP) 3,482 (7.2%, -4.9%)
Timothy Gaston (TUV) 3,282 (6.8%, -8.9%)
Patricia O'Lynn (Alliance) 2,723 (5.6%, ±0)
Declan O'Loan (SDLP) 2,574 (5.3%, -1.7%)

Brexit Referendum 2016
Votes to REMAIN: 18,782 (37.8%)
Votes to LEAVE: 30,938 (62.2%).
Highest LEAVE vote in Northern Ireland.

These results clearly prove that it is completely pointless to run a anti-Brexit joint candidate if it comes to by-election.

Anyone having a guess at the team?

One really sad result from tonight was Ardmore's no score to 6-22 for Limavady.

They have been struggling for a while and hope this is not going to be like this for the rest of the year.

Well done to Swatragh beating Ballinderry.

We drew with vale and probably a fair result. Proper 'first game of the year' craic.

The lads who turned out for Ardmore have to be given credit for not giving up right up until the final whistle but it wasn't very nice to watch.

Couldn't agree more, fair play to Ardmore for not conceding the fixture, plenty others would off. But it's extremely sad to see scoreline like this. However on a other note great result for Swatragh, think lot folk underestimating them, they have alot great young players. Finally it maybe to early to make predictions but think Kilrea will struggle this season, wouldn't be surprised if they go down.

Also never seen any junior championship matches this year so can't include anyone.

No Greenlough players toby47?

Ah, genuine mistake. Loughlin in for Conway and Lynn in the unlucky pile. People might say more deserve a say but we have to remember they beat Glenullin (just promoted) and Banagher (just relegated)

Toby47 you werent far away from your Derry Club Allstar selections, this was the Irish News Derry Club Allstar selections; Still think there are few unlucky players that wasn't included.

It's not looking good that Deal will be reached in time for Mondays deadline. I couldn't agree more with SF, both British & Irish Governments need to be more involved like they were previously with GFA & St.Andrews. Hopefully our elected folks can agree on some principles over weekend because at this stage Direct Rule would be disastrous under Tories/DUP relationship.

Jonathan Bell is running as an Independent in Strangford.  Will be interesting to see if his "honesty" has much traction with the DUP heads there.;

Jonathan Bell running as independent is very interesting, whether he will be elected or not, he will definitely take votes from the DUP, after all he only came out an told the truth. He definitely gain transfers from UUP. My first prediction for Strangford was 3DUP 1UUP 1AP. I think I got that wrong!

Well folks, drew up my prediction for March 2nd election:

Election 2017 predictions

Fermanagh South Tyrone: 2DUP 2SF 1UUP
Newry\Armagh: 2SF 1DUP 1UUP 1SDLP
W Belfast: 4SF 1PBP
S Belfast: 2DUP 1SDLP 1SF 1AP
N Belfast: 3DUP 2SF
E Belfast: 3DUP 2AP
North Down: 2DUP 1GP 1UUP 1AP
Stangford: 3DUP 1UUP 1AP
South Down: 2SDLP 2SF 1DUP
Upper Bann: 2DUP 2UUP 1SF
Lagan Valley: 3DUP 1AP 1UUP
South Antrim: 3DUP 1SF 1UUP
East Antrim: 3DUP 1UUP 1AP
North Antrim: 3DUP 1TUV 1SF
Mid Ulster: 3SF 1SDLP 1DUP
East Derry: 3DUP 1SF 1IND
Foyle: 2SDLP 2SF 1DUP
West Tyrone: 3SF 1DUP 1SDLP

DUP: 37
SF: 25
UUP: 9
SDLP: 8
AP: 7
GP: 1
TUV: 1
PBP: 1
IND: 1

Don't think the scandals will effect the DUPs performance  as unionists will stick by the DUP regardless but again I could be wrong. Some seats will be very tight for the last remaining seat, transfers will be very important this time around.

Almost there by the looks of it:
Eglish ??
Donaghmore - is it John Lynch?
Moy - is Jordan staying?
Trillick - Raymond Monteith i would imagine?

Moortown - Conleith Gilligan?
Derrylaughan?
Derrytresk?
Edendork - Liam Donnelly?

Any updates?

I am a derry native and wouldn't know much on the football in tyrone, however I don't no if this is true so hopefully one of you's can confirm if it correct but I was told the manager "mccusker" who managed glen minors and won both county and ulster is linked with moy? It's only a rumour i heard by the way. Another thing I noticed is a lot of Derry managers in tyrone this year; mckinless, gormley, Cassidy, Dillion, scullion, Collins etc. there are pile of teams free in Derry so most the tyrone managers may come to derry

Apart from Mckinless becoming new ardboe manager for 2015 is there any more manager changes in division 1 in tyrone?

I heard that Pascal Canavan is McKinless assistant at Ardboe does anyone know if true??
