Tyrone County Football and Hurling

[ONeill]

I was surprised we didn't leave at least one forward in Donegal's half in the second half. Tyrone overturned the ball a few times only to find there was no one in their half to target, especially with that breeze.

Donegal's tactics in the first half when behind were laughable. Not sure who was doing the booing but it was deserved.

Ruairi Canavan is the U20 captain so that puts an end to the senior discussion. He will be able to go into the senior squad for the group stages if the 20s get out of Ulster.

You have to assume that means Conor Cush is gone also to the 20's. The correct decision for both lads in my opinion. Plenty of time for them after 20's is finished to rejoin senior set up if required.

He was vice captain and there are not too many from last year's squad back so it would seem the logical choice.

Looks like it. I'm told Cush played for the 20s in a challenge game last Saturday and hit 4-4.

be interesting to see a panel, but there must be serious firepower in this years U20's. Canavan & Cush aside you could still call on the likes of Ronan Cassidy, Lorcan McGarrity, Conor Owens, Gavin Potter, Cormac Devlin, Conor McElhom, Noah Grimes. Im sure ive missed a few others as well, thats just off the top of my head.

According to Paul Devlin in the Irish News there are 17 still there from last year and 7 starters from the AI final v Kildare.

A lot more Thani thought. Icould only think of Canavan andCush initially.

I don't think conor Owens is on the panel

Markey, McLarnon & McRory schools cups all going to Tyrone this year. The conveyor belt is well & truly back fella's. Some fantastic talent in the county in the 18 to 21 age bracket

Of the top of my head, defenders - Rafferty, Muldoon, midfielder - McHugh, forwards - Cush, Canavan, McGarrity, O'Donnell plus obviously according to Paul Devlin another 10 from the bench. I possibly have missed 1 starter but not certain to be honest.
A very strong panel but Derry were the All Irelands at this age group at minor level.

With most of the the 21s playing with HTC

If only other schools could make the same contribution to football as cookstown do
The likes of Ballygawley & Stabane - would raise the standards even higher

The traditional big grammar schools have always poached & sought out to attract whatever footballing talent they could get their hands on. Nothing new here, it's just because Cookstown were always deemed to be Markey standard and have upset the traditional order, that they are being dissed with these posts
