Regardless of what Killyclogher do on Sunday they wont win Ulster.

Omagh had the chance a couple of years ago and bottled it.

Personally I expect Killyclogher to find it tough on Sunday against an experienced Slaughtneil outfit. But what have Omagh's past failings got to do with Killyclogher?

Tyrone clubs don't have the minerals for the Ulster club championship!

It must be Maghery's title then - after all Crossmaglen have a fantastic record in Ulster!!!

So kildress who got to the last 8 in Tyrone (and are therefore in the top 9 teams in the county) would be contenders in the other 8 counties ???

Surely you would judge the top teams in a county on their league form?
Not necessarily. Slaughtneil finished 6th in Derry but they certainly aren't the 6th best team in that county.

Doubt it. Kilcoo are a tough outfit and they've been missing key forward Jerome Johnson.

Are certain posters suggesting that Tyrone have 9 different club teams capable of winning Ulster?

Much as I would like to see a Slaughtneil treble, I think it will be a Killyclogher Kilcoo final, with Kilcoo winning that.

I would be quite surprised if Maghery beat Kilcoo. They're good enough but having just won their first title they're in uncharted waters - that might go against them. They've a good manager and a strong panel, they've excellent fitness and don't rely on one or two players for scores. Their main downfall is their shooting, they're full of running and will go all day so fitness won't be an issue. Discipline might be an issue but both teams are well versed in the dark arts so might cancel each other out

In general though the best teams will be higher in the league. Your example of Kildress is ridiculous seeing that they finished bottom of the league and beat a team who were 3rd bottom in champ

How's it ridiculous? This is Tyrone we are talking about. The best football in Ulster with 9 potential winners every year!

So your saying that kildress are better than omagh, seeing that kildress made it past the first round and omagh did not lol

Sure clearly they finished in the top 9 in the Tyrone championship and are therefore able to take on anyone in Ulster

Not in the slightest, What i have said is that the top 9 teams would give any team in ulster a tough game
