Tyrone Club Football and Hurling

[Goals_Will_Come]

ccc has to look at fixtures, u14s only competition to really go well this year
U16s still going after provisionally being scheduled for may, pushed back to June then practically July
I saw G2/G3 league games still going last week in the fixtures
Minors ran from start of year to sept

will ccc sticks with same schedule as this year?
That should be confirmed by end of previous year so at least clubs know which age group is out in feb/mar

Posted this previously and still think it would work better than the current system. What I would like to see at club level would be -
A modified calendar along the lines of:

U12 - April - June
U14 - July - October (finish before school football begins)
U16 - March - June (starting after the conclusion of school football which is generally St Patrick's Day and the traditional club start anyway - County Minors available to all clubs as was supposed to be the case this year but enforced by CCC - problem would be lessened as less players affected)
U18 - Late June - September (beginning after County Minor season and exams and concluded prior to Senior championships)
Reserve (with anyone Over 16 eligible - giving those lads football through Spring) - April - August
Senior (Over 17 only eligible) - May - October

That's what we had last year. U16's first followed by u14 and minor. Clubs voted to change it back

Tyrone minors changed after that and that completely ruined the club minor season and none of the proposals for 2025 will result in anything different for the club minor season. Needs to be played after county is finished. Under 16 going first negates this to a certain extent bar the small few who will start for the Tyrone Under 17s. Also means every will be playing football in the summer months with 14 and 18 running together. 12s going first before 14 is also a more natural transition than the other way.

Yeah but you just get the bottle neck at the latter half of the season then

Instead of minor clashing with County Minor, it's clashes with club championship. That was a big issue and was the reason it switched back this year

That's ridiculous. Minors shouldn't be playing reserve football. What is the point. Give them an u20 competition to keep them busy, only gonna wreck themselves playing against 35 year old men who don't know how to tackle.

Didn't do much harm up to 2016. Think that is one of the worst changes that has come in. Only having a minor season that might last 4 months isn't enough football for that age group.

Thought this method for the goalmouths was very interesting when I seen Ardboe doing it last year, but haven't gotten up to Ardboe pitch recently to see it.
Anyone from the area any feedback on how it has went? Worth looking into?

Reports Liam Nicholas and Seamus Harkin taking Glenelly next year? both part of brothers Hogan cup squad many moons ago but interesting where Keenan and Scullion go

Reports Liam Nicholas and Seamus Harkin taking Glenelly next year? both part of brothers Hogan cup squad many moons ago but interesting where Keenan and Scullion go

I had thought Keenan and Scullion might go again? They went rightly last year and Glenelly aren't far away. If changing it would make sense for them to go in house after paying for outside men.

Harkin if able to commit the time for management, would surely offer something as a player? As for Nicholas is he not a bit of an enigma? Don't think he's about the club at all these days and probably wouldn't be the best influence on a strong younger crop.

Think Harkin was full forward on that Hogan Cup side, but think Nicholas was dropped off the panel earlier that year for a few misdemeanours.

Vastly overrated coach is RK

Is Gavin McGilly new to Galbally or was he there last year?
Be interested to see how Barry Dillon does in Ardboe... Hes been around a few setups with some success but Ardboe always seems a bit of a shitshow.
Very surprised Beragh same management back - big bill for almost relegated. Surely someone in the Beragh club could do better?

Barry will do very well with Ardboe. He's a top coach with good experience at the highest level.

Gavin is going into year two,paddy tally was assisting last year along with several Galbally club men and ex players,will be hoping to build on a very positive first year in the post.

I'm hearing Tommy mc Guigan and John mc conville are helping barry out with the ardboe seniors

Apart from UUJ, who else has Dillon been successful with? I know he has coached Portglenone and Truagh but wasn't aware of many other teams that he has been coaching with
Certainly done well with UUJ for sure and will be interesting to see how he gets on down at the Lough shore

Barry dillon Took kildress 2015 or so to a promotion to div 1 through playoffs... that was a great feat with the players at his disposal .... he stayed with us the following year and we didn't get many points and a bad hammering by coalisland in 1st round of champo. The promotion was good times for the club to be fair.
