Tyrone County Football and Hurling

Was a small enough crowd to be honest. Any club championship game would be bigger. Still a great venue though.

Ok. Been a few years since I was there. What improvements have they made?

[southtyronegael]

New pitch and floodlights but nothing else has changed. Still the same huge potholes and lack of lighting on the lane up to the ground which prob needs sorted for future nightime games.

McGeary back according to the Irish news.

A great venue although slightly disappointing crowd last night. Factor it was on tv didn't help. Tyrone not going well obviously had an impact also.
As regards the lane you refer to, that belongs privately to a neighbouring farmer - Clarkes don't own it and can't do anything about it as far as I am aware. If you come from the town side to the ground, there is ample parking and always well stewarded in fairness.
There were a few big club championship games there recently and everything ran perfectly regards access, parking etc

McGeary back according to the Irish news.

Yea he was kicking about with the side last night. Hopefully Malachy can pick his best 15 in the next 2 games. Im not sure what the best side looks like at the moment

See the minors start up on Wednesday against Fermanagh. Anyone have the full panel?

[scout]

By all accounts 9 of the county's had a mandate from their county board to raise concerns of the Allianz sponsorship at an open floor Friday night of congress.

Who is Tyrone's representative?

[CookieMonster]

DC's flight to Oz cancelled at the weekend. Wonder will he reschedule or stay out. Plenty of uncertainty with those Dubai stopovers atm.

I heard DC now on holiday in the USA

Any word of Paudie Hampsey return?

[NotedObserver]

Know he was playing in-house games so hopefully hes fit. Would like to see our strongest team leaving out DC v Meath. Who plays in the strongest team?

Morgan

Niall Devlin
Hampsey
Cormac Quinn/Aidan Clarke/Joey Clarke

McKernan
Teague
Ben Cullen/McGeary/Rafferty

Conn
Kennedy

Daly
Ronan Cassidy
Seanie ODonnell

McCurry
Donnelly
R Canavan/McElholm

[Tyrone Dreamer]

Personally think we need more ball winners and power in the half forward line. We're getting cleaned out on breaking ball and generally no where near enough aggression. If everyone fit apart from Canavan (which I'm sure they won't be) I'd be going with:

Morgan
Clark
Hampsey
Quinn
McKernan
Teague
Devlin
Kilpatrick
Kennedy
McGeary
O'Donnell
Oguz/Ben McDonnell
McElholm
Donnelly
Cassidy

Leaving likes of Ruari and McCurry to come in.

For Meath - I would continue to play the younger players. Promotion basically gone, better uncovering a few players, be more beneficial later on in the season.

1. Oisin O'Kane
2. Joey Clarke
3. Aidan Clarke
4. Niall Devlin
5. Michael Rafferty
6. Peter Teague
7. Seanie O'Donnell
8. Brian Kennedy
9. Conn Kilpatrick
10. Ronan Cassidy
11. Ruairi Canavan
12. Conor O'Neill
13. Darren McCurry
14. Mattie Donnelly
15. Eoin McElholm

Niall Morgan
Cormac Quinn
Paudie Hampsey
Ben Cullen
Michael McKernan
Frank Burns
Kieran McGeary
Joe Oguz
Ciaran Daly
Ruairi McCullagh

Centre half back a massive issue still. Offaly created loads of chances straight down the centre of the defence last weekend. It is not like we haven't got options there. Starting the season we had Rory Brennan, Peter Teague, Callum Daly and Joey Clarke. We proceeded to drop one, not play one and play the other two elsewhere.

Everlasting Tyrone 2 big men problem CHB and CHF. Teague the man who held S O'Shea scoreless in AI semi ( after O'Shea scored 12 against Armagh in QF). He is a very focussed man and surely best for CHB for now. But Tyrone so badly need 2 pointer shooters like Mulroy of Louth and plan/work to setup 2 pt chances. It is the key in many ways to the new rules game and has a massive psychological impact on teams. Kennedy great 48m 2pt v Awfully and RC. The 'respect'/lack of confidence v Offaly in 1st half was very sad and must never happen again. Meath at Croker will bury Tyrone if Tyrone behave anything like 1st half v Offaly must get confidence and plan execute 2pt plans. Daly seems to messup goal chances regularly and can't afford that. But l would have RC on from start for his angry determination alone but most of all we surely  need determination and power down the middle to win. Not sure about O'Kane at Croker yet.

Peter Harte was our go to 2 point kicker. McCurry hasn't played much either. R canavan would be a threat but not a sure starter. It's something that has left Ciaran Dalys game at the moment too
