Tyrone County Football and Hurling

[Goals_Will_Come]

Tyrone are mostly playing with two out and out forwards. That's currently McShane and McCurry.

Darragh Canavan, Conor McKenna, Petey Harte, Mattie Donnelly, Richie Donnelly and maybe even Sludden could fill one of those roles. Be interested to see Kilpatrick tried too!  There's probably other squad players I haven't seen much of who can also play there.  I think Mattie Donnelly as an option would be a big blow as the ball just sticks to him inside and always good for scores when put inside. McShane has that in him too, but yet to get form this year, but it's early.

Mattie injured, Bradley, O'Neill, Brennan and Donaghy away leaves Tyrone with Conroy, Nugent and an injured Emmett McNabb to come in for McKenna McShane McCurry.
Surely they have to fall back on the U20s of Canavan, Cush, Fullerton, ODonnell and Donnelly or else call up players who stepped away last year like McAliskey, Tiernan Quinn or Daniel Kerr. Either way they need to do something to bulk up the forward options on the panel.

Agreed it's a big issue.

If we take the squad from the Kerry game at the weekend, there were no proper forwards on the sub bench except Donaghy. Our go to sub when we want to replace a forward is Liam Rafferty.

Conor Cush is county standard, will be a top player but can't be rushed.

Yep for sure. He hasn't played for the 20's yet due to an injury and has another year at that level too.

How good is conroy? Him coming on v the dubs was interesting and suggested that he has been performing in training

Yeah a knee injury is keeping him out

Toby47, are you not at the Derry U20 game or are you one of the Shamrock fellas who is a Tyrone man? You always have very good posts on this board - a very well connected man in my opinion.

Watching it in the living room this evening. And most certainly not a shamrock.

Did Derry struggle? Surely they should be beating Antrim with a bit to spare considering they won AI Minor title in 2020. Who starred for the Oak Leaf men?

Seems to have recovered well.

Any standouts in the u20s today?

Ruari Canavan
Conor Cush
Ciaran Daly 
stood out for me.

McHugh and McGlennan dominated around the the mid due to their sheer size. McGlennan is a funny one. Not sure to make of him he makes it look easy sometimes and at others you feel he needs a bit of urgency about him.

Ruairi Canavan is just a class act. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a call up to the seniors once the u20 campaign is over.

As a Down man I was impressed with Tyrone, played well and when they got on top never looked like losing. Mcgleenon is some size (son of Matt?) Are canavan and cush sons of famous father's as well?

What was craic with match being in loughmacrory? Nice pitch but by god it's not the easiest to get to, middle of nowhere 😂

All 3 sons of famous fathers indeed.   Loughmacrory strange venue indeed... no idea why there
