The vote about no outside managers in clubs was close enough. Defeated 36 - 44. That would have caused a few raised eyebrows had it been passed.

How would you have policed that?

It wouldn't have made much difference. The manager would simply register and pay their membership with the Club they manage rather than their Home club.

benny is doin some job with the tyrone youth. knockin a few boys into shape and clearing up a lot of crap that is running through those boys heads up there. good man to have about our club.

Do agree. The change from Development Squads to the Academy has been successful in my books. Plenty more lads from across Junior, Intermediate and Senior Clubs all getting chances to develop. They're also engaging with the Clubs more from my view.

I think he's done a pretty good job so far.

talk of a big name appt and its not scwarzenegger.

Don't leave us handing. Who?

my goodness cant imagine thered be that many changes but its a results based business and money or the lack of it always talks. clonoe are lucky to have a manager valued so highly as the mecurial bellaghy man. im sure its a training pitch or cassidy for a few more years.

Any word on Omagh's next manager? I could see them going for another Club man.

Liam Donnelly will be cert to leave Edendork. He's not going to manage them in Division 1 against Trillick. Would be some questions if Edendork met Trillick in the Championship for example.

Who is up, Kildress, Edendork and the other? Looks like Clonoe walked over Carrickmore.

Galbally?

Well Done to the Masters. I take it they won't receive a real All Ireland medal due to the GAA not recognising the competition.

Tyrone won the appeal tonight.

LMC v Gortin this Sunday!

Why did Ulster overturn Tyrone's decision in the first place? Surely Tyrone clearly applied the rules as they were set down.

Rumours circulating in North Tyrone, Gortin and the Lough won their appeals!!!

What exactly were they appealing against?

What exactly are Loughmacrory appealing against??

Urney won this morning. I thought all games had to stay at same time?

Gortin v Rock called off?

Rock not fielding.  What's the punishment for not fielding at adult level?

There isn't one. As long as you give notice.

Great draw for Tyrone for the Championship. Avoid Donegal and Monaghan until the final!

Preliminary Round-
- Fermanagh v Antrim

Quarter Finals-
- Derry v Tyrone
- Cavan v Armagh
- Monaghan v Down
- Fermanagh/Antrim v Donegal

Semi Finals-
- Derry/Tyrone v Cavan/Armagh
- Monaghan/Down v Donegal/Fermanagh/Antrim

Mea culpa- Omagh reached the semi final of the grade 2 two years ago losing to a Loughmacrory side who played Grade 1 this year and who can count themselves very unlucky not to have won it last Sunday. IMO the big townie teams should all be playing Grade 1 football at youth level

I'm not just hating on Omagh. I think it's wrong that any Club does this. It's just completely unfair to all those young lads who are demolished by a team in the wrong grade. It does no good to anyone.

I agree. Omagh and other big Clubs put out A Teams and B Teams for several ages. There is no reason why they shouldn't be Grade 1.

Moving on- I don't get to many youth games but are there any good up and coming young teams? I know Moortown obviously have a great minor team coming through. Any others notable stand out teams on their way up?

Funny you should mention that - I see they did the u16 double this year in grade 2 - congrats to the lads involved but should a club with the pick they have not be automatically grade 1?

I do agree. I'm confident they've put their teams in lower grades to ensure that they win titles. There U16 Lads definitely should have been Grade 1- just look at how easily they won in the finals. The Girls also easily beat Owen Roes in their final.

There's nothing worse than when any Club does that. It means that Club's who are in the correct grade dont get a chance and the players don't develop because they only play easy games.

Yes grades are there to give everyone a fair shot at a title. I don't know the exact figures but did Omagh not win 4/5 U16 grade 1 titles in a row or something? I know its not the same players but it does illustrate their strength and I just hope they didn't think to themselves this year that they couldn't win G1 so they would drop to G2 and clean up!

That's exactly what their thinking was. They got to an U14 Grade 1 final 2 years ago with vast majority of those players so should never have been allowed to drop a grade.

Terrible stuff but not shocked. I'd much rather have my Club's players challenged and develop than just get easy wins every week.
