Experience tells me nothing good will come of this transfer.

do you have any examples of club transfers that worked out poorly? not being cheeky, im genuinely interested, always found club transfers to be a strange occurrence

Can you not even bring yourself to say his name? I'm assuming you mean Darragh Kavanagh? In what way did his transfer not work out or worked out poorly?

Tell me what he has achieved...

Well he has played Division 1 football for a start, something he wouldn't do if he stayed where he was. Has wontop scorer in the Intermediate Championship, which I'm sure would give Darragh more joy than winning a Junior League. So he's done alright out of his switch I'd say
No harm thats the biggest load of crap ive read...a night out in Bundoran over a county league with your club? Have a day off

What happened the 2019 Loughmacrory management/coaching set-up?

Unsure. Sean McCaughey also confirmed as Clogher manager.

No Brocagh or Drumragh on that list of clubs

You're not slow Tom, but the whispers are neither of those two.

The other Club that are obviously struggling would be Killyman?

I thought Killyman too, but they didn't seem to have too many issues fielding a reserve team this year, or at least not much worse than some Junior clubs did, and even fielded an Under 21 team that fulfilled a few games. Last competitive youth team they fielded I can find was at minor level in 2017, seem to be throwing their lot in with Brocagh & Derrytresk (Naomh Padraig) otherwise - though I noticed neither Naomh Padraig or any of its host clubs fielded at Under 14 this year except for a championship game where they were well beaten.

Here's a list of club membership numbers in Tyrone for 2019 (stolen from tomorrow's County Convention report) that might shine a few lights. I'd actually be curious how CĂșchulainn na Ghleanna operates with no listed membership considering they played in the Under 14 hurling league this year?



Would some clubs not have more members than this?  Seems the numbers for some clubs, adult and underage are small enough???

Strabane stood out for me with only 11 adult members, not enough to field a team.

Yeah.  Is it people don't want to pay the annual subscription to their club....but run to every game and event etc.

Clubs should be doing more to enrol eveybody - especially with the amount of money it takes to run clubs nowadays.

These number in list shock me.
Eoghan Ruadh Hurlers also had 40 stripped out at the Ulster final, so surely these numbers aren't correct

surely clogher with only 27 at youth couldn't be true?

Didnt even think we had 27

Havent been on this thread for a while. how do yous see the playoff games going.
Heres my prediction;
Lough vs Gortin- i fear here for lough i think they are going to down tools and maybe hope to go up with silverware next season, i also hear young mcaleer flying again in training and i dont mean literally as you might think with them size of ears
Owen Roes vs Clougher- im edgeing toward Owen roes as i feel that clougher team is bound to be found out... i seen them against Greencastle and alot of them are very limited footballers dont know how they have done so well in that division.
NTS vs C'town- im going for NTS im affraid for cookstown if they get relagated this season although they will probably make me eat my words and go down and do a Rock.

First of all its Clogher not Clougher...harsh enough statement saying they are going to be found out when they had secured 4th place with a league game still to go.. sounds like abit of jealousy, perhaps an augher man? possibly Eskra?

What way do we see things working out in Division 2 this weekend?

Pomeroy v Greencastle
Augher v Strabane
Beragh v Loughmacrory
Galbally v Cookstown
Gortin v Clogher
Moortown v Newtownstewart
Owen Roes v Stewartstown
Aghyaran v Urney

At the top: Galbally at home to Cookstown, a defeat for Fr. Rocks will see them in relegation play offs, can't see anything other than a Galbally win here.
Beragh v Lough, if Lough were told at the start of the year they need a win v Beragh on last day to secure senior football next year they would have took it, I am sure there must be some nerves in the camp this week and Beragh would love to spoil the party, expecting Lough win.
Pomeroy v Greencastle on Saturday afternoon, Pomeroy win here to move into second place and leave the pressure on for Lough the next day.

At the bottom: Urney are already gone and seem to have thrown the towel in.
Newton playing Moortown, possibly in Garvaghy mid week or Friday? Correct me if I am wrong here, but both Strabane and Stewartstown have both beated Newton so even if Newton are level on 10 points with either of them they are in relegation play off anyway based on head to head?
Strabane v Augher, last few weeks would suggest that Augher have no interest in play offs, very strange considering a few weeks back they were in a position to play Clogher again in play offs, maybe they didn't fancy that possibility. Strabane will likely pick up easy points here.
Owen Roes v Stewartstown, Owen Roes win here leaving Stewartstown possibly level with Newton, although they won the head to head which should see them safe?

In the middle:
Owen Roes and Clogher guaranteed to play each other in play offs with what looks like no other team looking to fill the final spot? Possible teams to take it are Augher, Greencastle, Gortin, Moortown and Beragh, with all possibly going to get beat it would leave Augher staying in 6th place with an away trip to Pomeroy or Loughmacrory.

There is the the very very outside possibility of four teams finishing on 10 points would leave a tricky situation.

Overall I  am going for, Gallbally winners, Lough runners up, Pomeroy v Augher, Clogher v Owen Roes, Newton v Cookstown.

Pomeroy v Greencastle- Pomeroy by 8
Augher v Strabane-Draw
Beragh v Loughmacrory-Lough by 4
Galbally v Cookstown-Galbally by 10+
Gortin v Clogher-Clogher by 3
Moortown v Newtownstewart- Moortown by 1
Owen Roes v Stewartstown-Roes by 7

On the subject of amalgamations areGael Naomh Padraig an Augher, Eskra, Clogher combination?
Who then are the similarly are Naomh Padraig?
Was there once an Eglish, Aghaloo, Kileeshil combination called Shamrocks, perhaps early 90s or late 80s.

Eskra aren't part of that amalgamation.
Thanks, must be why they don't enter as St Macartans.
Are Eskra just not fielding at u16 and u18?

Eskra are apart of that amalgamation.

what way greencastle going at the minute? anyone fancy them v clogher? seem like they've been written off a bit - wont be surprised if they win

Have won 5 out of their last 6 games. They haven't been written off at all. They go in as favorites for me.
