Tyrone Club Football and Hurling

[Rebel84]

Was at the Dungannon and Omagh game and was really impressed by Omagh. Roman O'Neill was carrying a bad injury I think at the end of last season but he has recovered well and scored a good goal. The Clarke's on the other hand were sluggish and never really got going on the night.

Club championship draw next Wednesday

[bogball88]

The three teams I expected to be the bottom 3 were Coalisland, Clonoe and Eglish and three bad results to start with. Edendork's record in starred game is very poor, both teams down 4 very prominent players but losing is a bad result for Coalisland. Clonoe losing well to a managerless Killyclogher is also a bad start after a promising preseason in the Jim Devlin cup but it looks like they have brought nothing new to the table that saw them relegated in 2022.

Can we also spare a thought for poor Killyman. Hopefully 3B next year helps them as a club because that result would be difficult for all involved.

I think Glenelly would have been 3B this year, if it was based on last year's table. Open to correction but I can't see Killyman fairing any better when the League splits

Would have been Urney, Brackaville, Errigal III, Clann Na Ngael, Derrytresk, Brockagh, Castlederg, Killyman and Donaghmore III.
Killyman definitely would fare better against those teams. Be a lot more competitive.

Derrytresk beat them 4-14 to 1-2 a couple weeks ago. Donaghmore 3rds also beat them, although more competitive.

Agree with the point, though I just don't think a split league alone will save Clubs like Killyman

We'll be ok. Split league will help but we've 4/5 lean years ahead then should have decent numbers coming through. Everyone in the club knows it and will be all shoulders to the wheel to keep the thing going.

Demographics have hurt us since our last championship win in 2010 - the sons of the lads that played on that team are still only u10/u12 but there is a good crop of them. Also had a few years were the local primary school had no / only 1 or 2 boys starting P1. Improved now but will take a while to move up the age groups.

Have Killyman bought ground opposite the current pitch for another pitch?

Maybe not another pitch but there's a bit of ground there for development of some sort.

The approved plannning permission is for "Proposed re-development of existing GAA Grounds to provide a new training pitch with associated pitch surround fencing, floodlighting columns and ball-catchers. "

Sounds like you know more than me 👍

Very tough to predict who may be relegated this year in div 1. I think the best 16 clubs in the county are in div 1 this year. Eglish have lost their first 2 so they may be in trouble but the likes of donaghmore, Galbally, pomeroy all won their first games and clonoe have 1 win from their first 2 games. Coalisland and ardboe may find themselves down there as well, especially after both losing their first game at home to teams they would have fancied beating. Don't think there will be any standouts at the top of the table as well as the bigger clubs won't want to show their hand until the championship.

Coalisland Clonoe and Eglish be my call for the bottom 3.

[Rebel84]

Coalisland Clonoe and Eglish be my call for the bottom 3.

That would be my bottom 3 too, in Div2 take any of the 5 teams from Drumragh down for the bottom 3 there.

Edendork v Trillick
Coalisland v Errigal
Dungannon v Loughmacrory
Pomeroy v Omagh

Sounds like a good enough call, ardboe seem to be getting a bit of a hammering here by carmen. They might be in difficulty as well.

[bogball88]

Division 2
Aghyaran look to be the team to beat atm

Division 3
Looks like eskra,aghaloo,drumquin to fight it out. Would fancy aghaloo

First points dropped to Errigal thirds this eveing

[thebigfullforward]

Anyone know if mckaigue still with Ardboe? If he is it doesn't seem to be working out for them going by last nights performance. In fairness Ardboe were missing lads and Carmen had near enough full team out but never looked like a competitive game from the start

Ardboe will probably do enough to stay above that bottom 3 but be worrying times going forward. Bringing through some excellent young players - Shea O'Hare, Cormac Devlin, Conor Devlin, Conan Devlin, Jack Martin on top of their base of Michael Cassidy, Michael O'Neill, the Mulgrews and they have Jamie Concannon, Darragh Devlin, Daire McKeown all on the Tyrone U17 team but none of these players are scoring inside forwards and their best forward is currently off managing Derrytresk, and that's ultimately their biggest problem. They will be strong from 2-12 but have a serious problem scoring forward wise. So hard to see where Ardboe go in the next few years, they won't drop of into the relegation picture like Coalisland and Clonoe but can't see them pushing towards the top teams without discovering a scoring inside forward or two.

Word is Ardboe haven't seen Devlin or McKaigue at all this year yet.

Are they still stuck up that gantry in Celtic Park someone needs to tell them to come down.
