Clonoe drop their first point of the season after a low scoring 0-7 to 1-4 draw away to Pomeroy.
The score at h/t was 0-3 to Clonoe.
Didn't seem to be an evening for high scoring encounters overall with the weather conditions.
The Fianna only scored 0-5 away to Killyclogher and Clarke's 0-9 away to Trillick.

Poor game at Plunkett Park tonight, but the conditions were awful. Probably a fair result although we scored a goal late on to go one up and clonoe hit an equaliser 4 mins into injury time. We've a fair few men to come back in, Frank burns, brendy burns, Hugh pat and Lorcan Kilpatrick, so would be hopeful of a championship run. It looked like clonoe were at full strength.

Santa's magical forest in Pomeroy. Tickets not released but it does sell out in a matter of days.

On another subject (lets change focus)

i see Eglish u16s claimed the Grade2 league and championship double at a canter last nite
how was this allowed to happen..its a disgrace that a team that won the Ulster Og Sport u15 last year were allowed to drop into grade 2 and a bigger disappointment that the Eglish club allowed/wanted it to happen

Donaghmore dropping into Grade2 u14s is another example

they did it at minor a few years ago also

,

Surely the CCC need to stop this sort of stuff happening

These types of things will be to the clubs detriment in the long run when they have to go to the well to win tight games won't always be like that for them
Can any of you 2 headers tell me how Donaghmores division 4 under 14 team done last year which is this years a team. That club aspires to play at div 1 at all levels and certainly aren't dropping down to win grade 2 titles, if they are dropping down it is in the interests of their footballers who are deemed not to be at grade 1 level at this stage. Definitely not about title winning. They field 2 teams and often have no subs which weaken their grade 1 challenges. They are very much about giving lads as much football at their level that they can. Perhaps your own clubs could adopt that approach.

your justification doesnt stand up
I have watched Donaghmore teams at u10 and above tournaments this past 2-3 years and they are well capable of fielding at grade1 u14 this year
playing a young team at grade 4 a year before their time if anything will make them a better side the following year
i work with a Donaghmore man who shares my view and disagrees with the clubs decision

we see too many examples of this over the years

the ease of Eglishs victories in grade 2 are testament to the fact they shouldve been in G1

There are many justified examples of teams dropping down such as Coalisland Fianna into G3 this year where they were competitive and didnt steamroll all in front of them as some predicted

"perhaps your own clubs should do the same"
i can assure you my club are playing at a level which will test them to the full and probably wont win any silverware

Eglish were much too strong for div 2 but did only beat my own club pomeroy in the championship semi final by 3 last week. We were right in contention to win until our full back got sent off. In saying that they beat us well in the league semi.

Genuinely never seen worse behaviour from a set of fans in all my years. On our way out of the ground yesterday ever other set of Armagh 'fans' felt the need to hurl abuse at us. I could take it if it was an isolated incident but unfortunately it wasn't. Grown men who weren't even intoxicated felt the need to remind us of the scoreline, everybody hated Tyrone etc etc.

It is embarrassing but it's hardly the worst behaviour from fans you've ever seen. Let's be honest about it

Now I know I can't tar all Armagh fans with the same brush but it was honestly the worst behaviour I seen in all my days. The amount of intoxicated men and women before the game even started was scary. Armagh fans with Kerry headbands, wagging their flags and fist pumping at every Kerry score was embarrassing.

Pomeroy had a good win at weekend. Have their players left for America yet?

Yes all gone. Good win especially down in Derrylaughan. Really surprised at how poor they were.

Add Ronan Duffin, Jude Campbell and Lorcan Kilpatrick to that list for the Plunketts and injuries to key men.

Have Stewartstown and Begleys made up yet?

Marketing genius, they will sell some amount of jerseys tomorrow!!

I would say a massive own goal instead of marketing genius. The timing of it is very insensitive, yes they might sell Fossa jerseys to some local idiots to go on the windup but they are going to lose quite a bit of long term business out of this cheap stunt as well.
How do you think it would go down in Galbally if they were promoting Rathmore jerseys today?

Hahahahaha.....breathe....hahahahaha

Get over yourself

Massive own goal. Why do you think they've removed the post and issued an apology.

very good article from Joe Brolly in this week's Gaelic Life, contrast that to a few boys on this thread who never once called out the nonsense from Fossa but couldn't wait to stick the boot into the Harps.

Fossa no angels. Stewartstown had a great year but if I was Stewartstown supporter I'd find it hard to defend some of the stuff so I commend you for your defense on the numerous places I've seen it on the board Clarshack.

Maybe Stewartstown are right and should just carry on as normal.

Fair play Clarshack, what good clubman isn't going to defend his own club to the hilt. I know I for one certainly would. From what I've heard Stewartstown where on the receiving end from the usual southern prod north bullshit. Who knows how you would react if you were subjected to that!

No harm to Kevin, but he would give ye the skitter with his excessive adulation towards all things galbally.

Killeeshil will rightly feel hard done by. They were the better team for long periods and should have won it in normal time but the free taking ability of Donaghy kept Galbally in it. Referee was that bit sorer on killeeshil and failed to give them a stonewall penalty in ET. I'm nearly sure Galbally only kicked 2 points from play but they're in the final were anything can happen.

Pomeroy the hot favourites 'horsed' out

Massive goal chance in the first half. Small margins. Galbally didn't score in opening 25 mins but went in at the break two points up. Tattyreagh next for Galbally.

We dominated first 25 mins and should have been out of sight. Galbally hit a goal straight after our goal chance rebounded off the bar. We missed at least 1-5 in that period. Shocking performance from us though, everything we done was too slow and struggled to get through galballys packed defence.

Kileeshil must be one.

The double header planned for Killeeshil has been moved to Donaghmore now according to the Tyrone website. Brackaville v Fintona and Clogher v Eglish.

Interesting. I was looking at Killeshil for 4G coverage and while it exists it isn't super strong. Also Openreach's network checker doesn't give a result for their address! OTOH Fibrus gives a result back saying they'll cover it by the end of this year, but of course that's too late.

I suspect that the Rock might also struggle in having good 4G backhaul. This coming weekend will tell, I haven't been up there myself in several years.

I thought Kildress would have been in with a shout for championship match this year considering the facilities we have on offer now, pavilion, small stand and good surface. I also think the 4g is strong there too.

How does it work do u have to lobby the county board or apply or something??
Turnstiles

We play Edendork in Stewartstown - they don't have turnstiles
Neither does Garvaghy
Or The Rock
Fintona don't use theres

Also on the question of provider O2 and EE are very good and Vodafone is okay

The new building we built is state of the art and would probably be even more reliable to hook to the comms room which runs the building Wifi and other stuff i dont have a clue about

JUST THINKING WHY DONT WE HAVE THE COUNTY FINAL AT GORTACLADDY! :)

Gortacladdy a superb setup and always well stewarded and setup, should at least be considered for early rounds.
Fintona have also a superb setup, but if they are to get championship games it has to be daytime only. A stand for supporters is a must at a champ match.

Good facilities in kildress but lack of parking would definitely be an issue.

Yes parking is probably the main weakness however not one the club couldn't overcome if they put their mind to it. We would be a bit like Stewartstown in that regard and would confidently cater for junior matches and single match intermediate matches with the exception of a big clash e.g. Eglish v Galbally or similar
I see what you've done there, Pomeroy v Galbally not a bigger clash that Eglish v Galbally  ;) Still sore from your loss in Plunkett Park Mattie?  ;D
