Ziggysego, ONeill and Fear ón Srath Bán....thanks for the comments on the old team photos and the new jerseys.

Who would you like Tyrone to face next? I think I would hold off on my opinion until I see this Armagh team with all of the Crossmaglen men.
I wouldn't be using their National League performances as any sort of gauge.

I have a quick question....I was told that there are new Tyrone County Polo tops coming out for this week's Championship.

Can anyone that was at Kelly's Inn shed some light on how they look?

Or maybe they will be on display at tonight's event in Omagh?

A picture of them would be great.

The team will be wearing the new White Rugby Polo and Mickey Harte will be wearing the new Red Polo.

Just curious, we're looking to order them, customized for our club.

We have new jerseys for the coming year....they can be viewed at:

Florida Sevens was a good weekend. The weather was in the mid-80s, sunny, with a slight breeze. Derry of New York, under the guiding eye of Sean O'Neill, Henry Diamond, etc. won the Tournament. Good performances by the teams this early in the year. Nigel Shevlin for the Brendan's was impressive despite picking up an injury, Derry's McIntyre, Bosco, Lilly, Bell and Company were too much for everyone. Well done to St. Pat's. Hopefully, with the Hurricanes in the rearview mirror, they can continue restoring this tournament to its previous status.

Date for Sanctions for North America is presently June 1st....pending decisions on Motions at Congress, April 13th-14th in Kilkenny
(Official Guide, Rule 43)

Date for Sanctions for Canada is presently June 20th....I am unaware of any motions to Congress on their behalf

Both of these are a direct result of motion number nine (9) last year in Killarney. At the same Congress, New York were granted Inter-County Transfers after four weeks of residency in the County of New York's jurisdiction. North America do not have the same four weeks to obtain Inter-County Transfers.

I do understand what you are saying, if a player arrives on June 1st, his ninety days of VISA would expire prior to the Labor Day Weekend.....
the drop dead date for legality would be somewhere around the 8th or 9th of June, assuming the player goes straight home the Tursday or Wednesday after the Labor Day Finals.

So I assume the Cavan NY Tournament will be late April.
They typically hold their tournament the week or so before
Gaelic Park opens for the year.

Heganboy.....what is going on in New York?

Heard that the Treasurer and the PRO have both resigned in the last week.
Is there a split, I hope not for all of the clubs sake.

[Canada is June 20th]

At the present time, the last date for sanctions for Canada is June 20th.
and unfortunately, the last date for North America is June 1st.

However, there are motions being proposed for this year's Congress
which aim to make changes to the Official Guides' Rule 43, Part 1.

How would this be done?
Would the live commentator call into a site via telephone where it would be accessible?

Either way, I think this would be a brilliant idea.

However, would this website/service be free?
There would be costs incurred which could possibly be offset by sponsors
rather than a subscriber's fee.

Interesting idea, I'll tell ya.

Peter McDermott moves from Registrar to Club Secretary. Last, but not least, Dominic Ward has been re-elected as the Club's Public Relations Officer. The officers will have their work cut out for them, but Tír Eoghain Philadelphia is in competent, capable hands. The club must get on the ball early to retain the Philadelphia Men's Football Championship. Communication between newly elected officers and current players has been established with several prospective players for the coming season. Anyone wishing to join the club as a player, supporter, or a sponsor; may contact us through our club website (http://tyrone.philadelphia.gaa.ie). The club extends its sincerest thanks for all of the support and dedication from last year's players, sponsors, supporters, management and officers.

This year, the club anticipates traveling along the East Coast to participate in several tournaments and seven-a-side competitions, pending approval from the necessary governing bodies. Among them is the Fort Lauderdale, Saint Patrick's GFC Seven-a-Side Tournament which is scheduled for Saturday, March 10th during Spring Break. At the end of March/early April, the Cavan New York club is organizing a tournament, which historically takes place in Van Cortlandt Park, in the Bronx, NY. In June, the Fairfield County Irish Festival (www.irishfestival.org) hosts a tournament from Friday (15th) through Sunday (17th) in Indian Ledge Park, near Trumbull, CT.

The club are in the process of establishing a charitable contributor committee, whereby the club will organize challenge games and a social event after each and donate the proceeds to select local charities.

The club is in the final design stages for the all-new, exclusive, ONEILL'S Tír Eoghain Philadelphia jerseys. Club officers and players have reviewed the concepts and finalized the design aspects. The club would like to thank our main sponsor, Philadelphia Racetrack and Casino, for their continued patronage and support.

Training has started, the club looks forward to seeing all the boys out there putting in the effort.

Congratulations go out to David Hopkins who was married back in the fall. Also, congratulations to Joe McGinn, who was married before Christmas in sunny Florida.

The club is finalizing arrangements for a Dinner Dance in the coming months. The presentation of medals to last year's players will take place that evening. Tickets to the event and advertisement submittal forms for the Annual Journal will be available in the next couple of weeks. Live music performed by "Lefty" John Kelly and Company. Further updates will include honored guests and awards for the Gala.

[McCarron's]

McCarron's playing decent, Carlin has seem to refound the form, Colhoun has been a breath of fresh air, Niall Gormley, etc.
A bit surprised, and I'm not trying to start a controversy, that young Niall McGinn isn't at least on the McKenna Cup squad.

When McGuigan, Dooher, Gormley, Jordan, Cavlan, etc. come back to the panel.....
who, in your opinion goes?

Some good young talent coming through for certain!

At the moment, Tír Eoghain Philadelphia are playing League and Championship football in Philadelphia.
We have contacted Cavan NY's Des Reilly about participating in the Cavan NY Sevens in March/April,
we've also contacted Roger Power and Harry Henderson in Fort Lauderdale (St. Pat's) about competing
in their Tournament on the 10th of March. And in June, we will be up in Fairfield County, Connecticut
for their Annual Tournament. The only other place I hope we're going is to Chicago over Labor Day Weekend.
