 ;D just received confirmation I m the winner of the jersey ;D. Telegraph want a photo, how can I refuse. I must overcome my publicity aversion though ;D

Holy God, as Miley Byrne would say. I only won another jersey in week 2 of the competition...thats one for me and the missus for Breffni Park on Sunday week! ;D

I see TF just missed out on the top spot - presumably due to his lack of belief in Tyrone!

I came in a pretty respectable 14th, considering i missed the first week or two (and the paper's experts came in at 24th and 73rd!).  ;D

Also worth noting - the BT had the Tyrone victory on both the front and back pages this week.

And there's also, ahem, extensive coverage here:

Yes, I noticed that the belfast telegraph had it on the front and back page too. They even had the right score. When you consider the crowds that go to the ulster club championships then you think they'd have more gaelic on the backpage though.

The Tyrone Cont. had a 20-page pull-out supplement for the climb up to the final last Thursday.

Yes, but it's a start. How many people are going to buy the BT for GAA coverage? It's hardly worth their time trying to compete with the Irish News, but it's good to see the big stories being given prominant coverage.
