Thanks Brendan. I will update you tomorrow. Complete accident, it happens in contact sport.

The minor lads were overpowered tonight. Only saw first half, thought they did ok, could have had a few more scores, we were very competitive for a 20 minute period but faded towards end of the half. Cavan next, hopefully at home too in what would surely be a more competitive game

Think Cavan game will be away. Cavan lived with Tyrone for a long time in their game, a couple Noah grimes inspired goals got Tyrone over the line that day, and blew Fermanagh away on Saturday with a very powerful second half performance.  Will be another tough ask for our minors i think.

[bannside]

Tyrone had obviously done their homework and completely subdued our usual standout players. But it was the speed of their transition from defence to attack that really caught the eye. In comparison we were slow and laboured.

There were a few positives. Big Mc Crossan at midfield looks to me like a player we could be hearing much more of. Good hands and mobility and should stretch to 6 feet 4 before he's finished. He caught the eye, did simple things well.

[Saffsof82]

Your right BS, big McCrossan had a decent shift as did McAleese and Enright in the first half. Didnt understand the move of CJ to full forward and trying to kick the ball into him with a sweeper in front of him, he impressed me for st marys playing at chf and being given a bit of freedom. Tyrone were excellent though, top class outfit that will take some stopping. Oneill from Donaghmore another star performer.

Not easy for Conhuir, spectacular prospect but gets double marked every time he plays, at club level this is no problem but at the level of player Tyrone has this becomes difficult. I was at the game myself, we don't have as many good players as Tyrone, it's really as simple as that.

[country bumpkin]

Agree totally EOC and having watched his progress since he was under-10 that CJ is a huge prospect and is the best under-17 about in out county

He scored 2-05 yesterday in a club game only coming into the game at half time....and will no doubt be in Cargin's Senior side come next year....

Dont see that, st johns have only won 3 games this season, lost 5, struggling to make the top half before the split.

[NatSoSaff]

fair enough, but what have the biddies done to warrant a win prediction? From what i've seen of them they've been shockingly poor, and not missing many if supporters to be believed.

Both have been poor tbf, only 1 pt between them in the league. St Bs have Ronan Boyle back as he has left the county panel, that may just be enough to get them over the line at home in Musgrave, be a very tight game i would think.

St Brigids would be doing a lot better if they spent more time focussed on playing football instead of trying to act the hard men. Plenty of decent footballers in that team.
