Match off 2nite, waterlogged

Couldn't find the game and thought my dodgy stick was messing about.

Could be the first ever meeting of London v Tyrone in the Tailteann later this season.

That would make iit an interesting year for the GAA statistician community in Tyrone.

Pretty sure Cavan haven't beaten Tyrone in the league since 1997. Was at that game in O'Neill Park, Cavan got a late winner and went on to win the Ulster Championship. If Cavan somehow manage a win this time around then Tyrone v London could not be subsequently ruled out.

That's two gut punches for Cavan.
From a Kildare POV I'm happy as it suits us with a win and 2 teams on 0 points.

Tyrone cant really slip up again or else they will be down here for another year.

Cork and Meath going well so far. The only  gimme for Tyrone is playing Offaly in Dungannon. Based on results so far all the other games for Tyrone are 50/50. Imagine having to beat Louth and/or Cavan to stay out of the Tailtean cup!

Maybe we just don't have the players  to compete at the top level anymore. Four points a very poor 2nd half return in the modern game.

What was the free for Dingle even given for at the end?

Should have been a free in to St Brigids

Great finish but St. Brigids got away with one with the 45 that should have been given as wide.

[Who would be (roughly) the 10th best team in Tyrone do you think?]

Do they not have 9 senior clubs and 7 divisional teams (made up of intermediate and junior players) in senior championship. So 10th best team enters Munster from a strong football county with nearly 60 clubs?

Would it not be fairer if their junior champs went into intermediate?

Of course it would.

Tyrone have 16 in senior and 16 in intermediate don't they? So are sending their 17th and 33rd teams. And are regularly very strong. Who would be (roughly) the 10th best team in Tyrone do you think?

Based on the 2024 season and from the 1st Round losers in the SFC Omagh finished 10th in Division 1.
This season Donaghmore finished 10th in Division 1 but reached the last 8 of the SFC so you would probably swap them with Killyclogher who finished 9th in Division 1 but were knocked out in the first round.
That would be the quality of teams Tyrone would be sending to Intermediate if they only had 9 SFC teams.

Finally a point!

This is as bad a game as you will see

This is the weakest Kerry Junior Champions in a long time. Kicked several wides, 2 breaches and the No. 8 looks gassed already, barely got his last free over the bar. It's there for Clogher if they want it.

Shocking

Clogher looking very sharp today and well in control against a poor Kiltimagh side. 1-7 to 0-4 h/t.

Early days but already feeling optimistic about Tyrone this year.

Disappointing from Meyler, it's a male v female issue and with the GAA merger that issue is obviously improving but it's absolutely nothing to do with skin colour or class.
