Tyrone Club Football and Hurling

[Tyrone Gaa]

Was at the Galbally game, a great match up and the result was probably about right. Magheracloone were the better side. Harsh to say Galbally took their eye off the ball with the team talk awards but I take your point, probably could have been avoided. (Kevin Kelly probably asked they take part)

I thought Galbally left if all out on the pitch. Handled themselves like champions the whole way through the Ulster campaign.

Award attendance was right had no bearing on result last night.Magheraclooone more streetwise and physically stronger.Galbally can be proud of 2019 and will hold their own at senior level next year.

A so called team in ‘transition year’ bate off the park over the weekend. Dungannon outplayed dromore. The so called team in transition year gave a sorry, sorry excuse of a performance, absolutely embarrassing.

Fionn's early Monday morning review of the past 48 hours...

Commiserations to Galbally whom put up a good fight on Saturday night in the Athletic Grounds, but lost out to Monaghan IFC championship Magheracloone whom by most accounts were the slightly better team on the day and deserving winners. Losing in an Ulster Final for your club is not something that is easy to take, but Galbally can by all accounts say that they had a very successful domestic season, with their seniors doing the IFC/Div 2 double & the reserves also winning the league whilst losing out in the IRFC final only by a point to Greencastle. A team that should be worth looking at for 2020 at senior level.

Meanwhile back in Tyrone, Loughmacrory managed to achieve promotion to the senior ranks on Saturday in Killeeshil when they accounted for Eglish in the Div 1/2 play-off by 0-12 to 0-6. The result sees Loughmacrory play with the big boys in 2020 alongside Galbally & Pomeroy. For Eglish however, there will be bitter disappointment in being relegated straight away after winning the Division 2 league in 2018. That game now wraps up all ACL activity for 2019.

The first of the Under 21 Grade 1 semi-finals took place in Newtownstewart on Sunday between Dungannon & Dromore - Dungannon marching on to the final with a solid 2-8 to 0-6 win. They will now meet either Carrickmore or Galbally, whose semi-final will surely be fixed very soon with the latter's loss in the Ulster club IFC.

The only youth football activity to be round up for 2019 is the Under 13 Grade 3 league, and the final will be between Drumragh and Castlederg - the two teams won their semi-finals on Sunday, Castlederg comfortably accounting for Clonoe at home 8-13 to 3-3, while Drumragh went to Edendork and defeated the home side by two points, 3-10 to 4-5.

Expanding horizons slightly, congrats to St. Joseph's Donaghmore whom won their first ever "A" grade schools title after defeating Inishowen Colleges in the Sciath na nÓg (Under 14.5 "A" shield) final at a windy Killyclogher 1-7 to 1-5 last Tuesday. Coming up, St. Ciaran's Ballygawley will face St. Colm's Draperstown in the Arthurs Cup (Under 16.5 "C") final which will be held under lights at MUSA in Cookstown on Wednesday 11th December, throw-in 8.00pm - St. Colm's reached the final having defeated the Dean Maguirc Carrickmore in their semi-final. St. Ciaran's also have another final to look forward to when they will face another Derry school, St. Conor's Clady/Kilrea in the McDevitt (Under 14.5 "C") final, date yet to be arranged. Keeping track of schools competitions across the board isn't the easiest of jobs, but it's worth keeping an eye out!

Donaghmore about to pay the man who just missed out on Clonoe job serious money....

How much is serious money nowadays?

Going rate for a D1 manager payment can be anything from 12k to 25k. Depending on club and manager involved.

25k for one man? Seems like an awful amount of money. How much would the likes of McBride be getting in Errigal? And does it come with a championship clause?

Seems stupid errigal paying anyone at all to manage them considering there resources. For a club to pay someone whilst having probably the greatest player to ever play the game at there club seems silly. Would it not make sense for him to manage them?

Agree, however there is no point opening that can of worms. I have just learnt not to expect anything simple by Errigal. With men like Canavan, the Hartes, O'Roarke, and a rack of other men with valuable experience on the pitch and on the line, you'd think they can find someone within their own ranks that could step up?

Anyone at the under 21 semi final yesterday? Didn’t get up to it but the result shocked me, i had Dromore winning that one hands down after their Senior league win.

Couldn't tell you Errigals policy on payment to be honest. I live to the East but Cassidy at Clonoe figures were something along those lines. Omagh have paid big in the past too. Donaghmore aren't shy of a few quid and are after a big name at moment. Coalisland handed out money to McKeever etc too.

In a perfect world it would be inside men, but sometimes they simply aren't there. Although not to pick on Errigal, yes with their pick it probably makes it a bit easier alright.

Don't forget Enda McGinley. He took them to back to back minor championships in 17 and 18, surely the logical step would be for him to take the senior job and help bring these boys through. He managed Swatragh this year so time mustn't be an issue for him.

[Mikhailov]

Lads, I stand corrected but the 3 big inside names mentioned regarding Errigal have all previously done the job. Pascal for 4 years, Peter for 3 prior to Pascal and MOR done it for a year or two in early 00’s before he took Fermanagh in 2006/07.

Not many inside men interested to taking any club when the pressure is on to win a championship so fair play to Hagan for doing it with the Fianna and Seaney with Trillick.

Time maybe isnt an issue, but doubt Errigal would be interested in giving him the figures he asked certain Armagh club for or got from Swatragh

Are errigal even good enough to win a championship?
