Tyrone v St Mary's

All-Ireland champions Tyrone picked up their first win of the season thanks to a strong second half showing in Omagh.

CJ McGourty tapped in a St Mary's goal after four minutes from close-range.

St Mary's hit four points in as many minutes through Antrim pair McGourty and Kevin Niblock, with two each, for a 1-7 to 0-4 interval advantage.

Goals from Owen Mulligan and Jason McAnulla and Conor O'Donnell sealed it for Tyrone, although McGourty brought his tally to 2-5 with a late goal.

Antrim 1-4 3-17 Queen's

Justin Crozier plotted the downfall of his native county Antrim
Two goals by Justin Crozier against his native county sent dominant Queen's on their way to a big win over Antrim in the Gaelic Life McKenna Cup.

Crozier, playing in the full-forward line, landed 2-1 in the first half against an experimental Saffrons side.

Tyrone's Shaun O'Neill got six points for the university side and also scored their third goal to give them a good chance of making the semi-finals.

Daragh Edwards netted the goal for a completely outplayed Antrim.

Fermanagh 1-11 1-9 UUJ

Late points from Michael Jones and Paul Ward secured a first win for Fermanagh in the Gaelic Life McKenna Cup.

UUJ dominated early on and were 1-5 to 0-2 up before Enda Ferris stole in for a fisted goal just before half-time.

Ryan McCloskey was red-carded and Darren Hughes yellow for an off-the-ball incident just after Ciaran Donnelly had netted for the visitors.

Three other UUJ men were shown yellow cards along with one from Fermanagh.

The students had to replace Aidan Girvan, Niall McKeever and sharpshooter Donnelly while Fermanagh lost the services of Martin McGrath.

Justy McMahon best player on the field by a mile, followed by Conor John Pius whom was gifted 2 of the handiest goals he'll get by Johnny Curran and PJ Quinn & the post. Kevin Niblock and Sean O'Neill also impressive for the Ranch. Judgment on Tyrone's new boys to be reserved until after the Monaghan game

Tyrone Dreamer · January 14, 2009, 10:26:03 PM

Great goal by Mulligan. Is that Tyrone more or less out after Queens big win because there scoring average wont be good enough for best placed 2nd team?

Puts Monaghan's result on Sunday into better perspective. Look's like Down's massive score against them was a fluke.

Tally was lamenting the lack of Justin McMahon in the Down game in the IN today, and judging by his performance tonight he would appear to be the key man for the Ranch

Antrim fans - stop worrying. RTÉ's Aertel says you scored 1-14. It's not so bad after all.

gerry · January 14, 2009, 10:59:37 PM

just back from the pub after having a few hot whiskeys to get the feeling back into my cold limbs after a cold night in omagh. tyrone were lucky to win tonight as st marys put up a good performance. tyrone looked poor enough and will have alot to do before we head to croker at the end of the month. alot of stray passes and wrong decisions taken when passing the ball, a far cry from the kerry game. st marys would have us dead and buried if they had took half their chances in front of the posts.

is it me or is £8 steep enough for the standard of football that was on display tonight
