Looking forward to seeing it in Dublin next September.

No sign of any odds, but if I was laying I'd go something like :

Dromore 4/7
Carrickmore 5/2
Draw 6/1

Dromore have be those sort of odds after last week's big victory over EC and pushing the Ulster Club champions all the way the week before. Bookies don't take chances.

Dublin and Laois is really hard to tell as well, esp as it has become an annual fixture in Croker. Maybe the jersey manufacturers should get together a little bit (O'Neills, Azzurri, Gaelic Gear).

Please note that the Official Launch of the New Tyrone jersey is on Thursday 29th November  at 1.00 pm.

The new jersey just in time for the Christmas market naturally. The Tyrone one has to be one of the big sellers after Dublin & Cork. Fair play for keeping the same one for three seasons anyway. My 'old' one will have to go on Ebay later.

Tyrone Under 21 Football Championship Grade 2
Rock v Aghyaran
E.T. if necessary.

Where's MUSA ?

Dromore now have a certain swagger about them, now that the curse shackles are gone.
Although they did have a pretty easy route to the 2007 final, they'd despatch Kildress & co a bit easier now.
It's all in the mind 

Dromore still have a league crown to go for. Doing the double in Tyrone would be something.

So much for my tipping. I was also blowing about Adare going to beat Loughmore. That's goes to show why you never see a poor bookmaker.

Dromore have so many O'Neill's in their line-up, I get them mixed up. None of them are brothers I think.

Shaun/Sean Snowy O'Neill definitely looks the part for the county stage. He's exciting.

How about an online poll on TG4's website to choose the following week's club game? Would Ballyhale v Birr have come out on top? Ballyhale are 4/11 favs to win so that suggests they'll have it in the bag midway through the 2nd half.

And yes the Monday highlights programme is too short. Even The Sunday Game goes on for two hours.

TG4 have shown football the last two Sundays, so it's as much politics them showing the hurling this time around. Odds on Ballyhale are 4/11 with PP so they are expected to win.

Highlights of as many games as TG4 can fit in are shown at 8.30pm Monday.
It's token stuff really. You'll see as much about the AIL rugby on Monday's papers as you will the provincial club championships.

TG4's schedule says they are showing a Leinster hurling semi live on Sunday - presumably Ballyhale Shamrocks v Birr.
That's a real shame for Dromore & Crossmaglen people unable to get to Clones.

Dromore v Crossmaglen 2.15pm, Clones , 2.15pm next Sunday Nov 18th , ref Joe Mc Quillan Cavan,  preceeded by Rock vKillashandra   ,at 12.30pm.ulster junior championship  semi final.

I'd have put my house on that match being in Casement.

Date should have been Sunday Nov 18th , competition will proceed 25th,  Dec2nd  finals Dec9th  , this however may be affected by the conclusion of the leagues , and the Ulster club competitions.

Like the way Kiddo says U-21 comp may be affected by the Ulster Club. Is he expecting Dromore to win in Newry without McCullagh?

I still think Dromore will give the league a fair old rattle. They hadn't won anything major before 2002 so trophies are still scant in the cabinet. And they wouldn't have gone on and won the big one this year without the 3 league wins.
