Macrory Cup Upper sixth Limit was 18 and a half, ie. The full upper sixth term. Hogan cup cut off was 18yrs as they do a year less down south, so technically the oldest was, 17yrs and a half. When did it extend to 19? There should be no extension. By the old year seven (now 14). Anybody after that should be inadmissible.

Didn't see that coming.

Big win for St Joe's Donaghmore in the McLarnon.

Not too distant future could see Cookstown, Dungannon, Omagh and Donaghmore competing in the A grade. Possibly Ballygawley too.

Why was the MacRory final moved from Patrick's day?

ONeill · February 10, 2023, 09:29:51 PM

Too many of the players were already booked to do rock-the-boat in the Holylands.

Split season means county have first dibs on players in spring, so schools comps were brought forward

Some year for Tyrone schools winning the ulster A, B and C grade competitions.

What about the Dean?

Have the CBS taking their eye of the ball. Players seem to have spent the week doing publicity photos. Be interesting to see how it plays out on Sunday

Would Donaghmore and Ballygawley have the numbers to play consistently at that level? Or would they be like Kilkeel a couple of great year groups and then fade back a bit?

Cute hoorism?

Will this be easy got on the iPlayer app tomorrow or a whole rigmarole like the Armagh v Monaghan game?

Am I the only one who just doesn't get the whole appeal of McRory cup? In many cases the best players (senior county) don't even feature whereas lads who peak early in their physical development do.

Would not necessarily agree with your first point but there is merit in your second point.
