Tyrone County Football and Hurling

At least McCullagh got 5 min at rhe end. Messy but good win v Kildare 2-12 0-13 McDermott goal special in 1st half.

It wasn't looking great in the first 10/15 minutes of the 2nd half but they always looked like the better team. Not sure it's a vintage u20s side but they've done very well to get to an AI final after the group stages of the Ulster championship.

Agreed also on the Tyrone social media. Barely a mention of it.

Great result and fair play to all the work being done.

Morgan

Quinn
Teague
Devlin

Mckernan
Joey Clarke
Mcgeary

Conn
Kennedy

Seanie O'Donnell
Mcelholm
Ben McDonnell

Darragh Canavan
Mattie D
Ethan Jordan

Will they go with Cassidy, Mcelholm, r canavan at 11?

Will Ben McDonnell start again? Conor Oneill will be left for the under 20s surely?

Is there anyone who can come in defensively? No left sided free taker so will McCurry start?

McElholm not good enough to play 11 in my opinion. needs kept out to wing. I'd rather have someone stronger on ball like McDonnell at 11 if that's our options.

Would love to see McCurry at 11
Isn't as dynamic as his peak but has a great passing range and the reputation to keep any centre back honest, would have him in there for leadership as well

agreed re McElholm great but wing fwd corner best for now. CHF big issue need a Seanie O'Shea but McDonnel told to go in tough but disciplined might be best for now?.
If reasonable (given u20 final) 20~30min of Ruari McCullagh may help there at end.

Armagh showed the strength and conditioning and mental toughness together needed in AI now even more so with 2pointer game coming to dominate [need at least 4pt goal to rebalamce the game l think] and if Tyrone can't match that Rossies will win l fear.

I would swop Clarke with Devlin and is Ruari C not fit?. If available l would play him at 12 (other side from the brother)? No word there? Prefer him to Seanie we need more scoring threat than runners there l believe. McCurry great career but l believe only 2nd half 20 min effectively in him at this level now Never strong/big enough ( Brian McGuigan exceptionnal in that regards but not for Dazzler?) or creative enough for CHF wonderful reliable scoring threat and passer inside but shied away from shots he would have scored from, in other days, in last two outings l felt.

Heard there could be a few injuries with McCurry and Ruari unlikely to play. Darragh far from 100% but should start.

I wonder with McGeary back now will he push McKernan into the half forward line and move Seanie O'D to wing back. Conor O'Neill is playing well with the U20 and well able to kick two pointers which as we know has been huge for teams so far this year.

Would be good to see Jordan take off now with the freedom of playing outside of Ulster and become our top scoring forward. I know this is debut season and he didnt have a great day in Armagh but I think he has shown already an eye for goal and far out points and like Ruairi isnt easy put off with a few misses.

One thing I hope we do see is players playing with a bit more freedom and not playing like robots.
I often think we over pass the ball at times and end up losing it just cos we're not direct enough.
It has been very enjoyable watching the pace and fast attacks from the U20s so hopefully we don't see crab football again this Sunday. Are many of ye going to it?

Realisitically Ciaran Daly Ronan Cassidy and Seanie O'Donnell are all going to start in the half forward line - all are well established at this stage under O'Rourke and while they come in for criticism I find it hard to see them not starting
Inside you are probably looking at Darragh Canavan and Mattie Donnelly and one of Jordan McCurry or McElholm.
