Tyrone Club Football and Hurling

[bogball88]

They held eskra to 2/3 points first game

I haven't seen 30 points scored by one team in an adult fixture in Tyrone in a long time.

I would say 10 of them points that were scored could've been in the back of the net. Could've been absolute annihilation. Sad to see for Killyman.

Is there any talk from the area of the club merging into a neighbour in the years to come?

I know they're joined with with Brocagh at youth. But other than that I couldn't imagine any other teams needs to amalgamate.

Is that Killyman' pitch you can see on left as you head towards Coalisland on the Tamnaghmore roundabout side?

Correct

There must be a good few clubs surrounding it then.

Is the village mainly unionist?

Yes to both.

They're 1 of 10 clubs within Coalisland, Clonoe and Dungannon parishes and all not that far apart.

Who all have Killyman joined with in past?
Edendork
Brocagh
Derrytresk?

[Onthe40]

Killyman-Brocagh-Derrytresk youth were all amalgamated under Naomh Padraig up to a few years ago
think they played mostly grade 3
Derrytresk broke away and stood on their own for a few years, they had some excellent youth teams..won something I think a few years back
then amalgamated with Derrylaughan this year under Doiri Oga banner - playing grade2 across all ages..
U16s seem to be doing well in grade 2

serious number of clubs in that area
Coalisland, Clonoe, Derrylaughan, Derrytresk, Brackaville, Stewartstown, Killyman, Brocagh
Edendork neighbours Brackaville, think a few lads transfer over for u20s etc
Moy is only a few miles other side of tamnamore roundabout
Dungannon beside Edendork

That's deadly amount of clubs in a small area.  Be hard, with a declining population, to keep them all going without a few clubs joining together.

Game was blown up early apparently, sad to see it, I remember not to long ago Killyman had some serious footballers.

They were Div 1 for a year. Got a tanking but they had a good team that won and Intermediate championship (although I think they finished bottom or 2nd bottom in the league that year) Sad to see but some clubs are struggling. Even big clubs like Coalisland and Dungannon don't have the same depth that they once had at underage.
Hopefully Killyman can get through it and keep going to allow another crop of youth to come through. Once a clubs fold they rarely come back.

[GaaGPT]

Who do we fancy tonight? Gortin or Naomh Eoghan. Gortin with home advantage although without Sean Og but still think they have enough to win

[square_ball]

Yeah they played Moortown in the championship final that year. A win meant they were promoted and a loss meant relegation. It was definitely a golden era for the club at that time winning Junior and Intermediate within a short time of each other.

A lot of the smaller clubs are suffering numbers wise at youth level you can see that at u8/u10 go game blitzes. Even at older age groups where teams are playing 11 a side. I think in 15-20 years the landscape of clubs in the county will change and there will be more amalgamations and mergers like Dregish and Newtownstewart have done recently.

There could be a new GAA team created in Castlecaulfield

[skeog]

Dregish brought very little to the table and very few are still involved playing.The cream headed to Healy Park to be small fish in a big pond.
