Talk of Ardboes demise may have been premature

The big ticket management team back and they vanquish the ghosts of last years championship

Errigal at home had a big chance to keep Ardboe winless and suppressed at the bottom of the table and they even managed to bottle that.

Still think Ardboe be fine. Easier saying that now rather than this time last week right enough, but they've probably got enough.

Galbally still flying didn't expect this to continue for so long, fair play.

Ardboe at Home to Clonoe, Eglish home to Edendork, Pomeroy home to Coalisland.
Big weekend in the relegation picture. Big two pointer for Ardboe and Clonoe and the head to head could be critical for getting out of the bottom three come the end of August.

Ardboe in a big spot of bother now

Carrickmore were considerably short of what would be deemed as their first 15 last night but to be fair they have been most of the year to date. Dungannon are a slick well organised outfit. They need to find consistency but their team is full of match winners

Carrickmore missing about 3/4. Same as Dungannon.

Who were the players missing on both squads?

Carrickmore - Ryan McGarrity, Sean Loughran and Johnny Munroe and Lorcan McGarrity only came on.
Dungannon - Sean Molloy and Patrick Molloy and James Morgan David Walsh and Matthew Quinn only fit to come on.

Where does last night's result leave Carrickmore?
I definitely had them in the equation for the championship, but that defeat feels significant
Plenty of time to regroup no doubt, where they missing any men?

Reality is there is the top 3 contenders in Tyrone of Errigal, Trillick and Dungannon followed by an established group of Dromore, Carrickmore and Killyclogher who have a chance if things fall into place for them and the dark horses of Loughmacrory, Donaghmore, Edendork and Galbally and then just the also rans of Ardboe, Coalisland, Clonoe, Pomeroy and Eglish.

how many county titles have your dark horses won combined?? Championship pedigree counts for something and i would be more confident in Ardboe, coalisland or Clonoe winning it than any of the teams you named. League form means very little.

Ardboe have as much pedigree as any of the dark horses. Coalisland and Clonoe are at the other end of things now. Just look at the teams on paper and you will see why I would consider them dark horses. Them teams are littered with Tyrone underage players and borderline Senior players and are all of a good age profile. There's a changing of the guard underway at the top end of Tyrone football compared to 10 years ago

Anyone overlooking Dungannon as contenders for the Senior Championship would need to reconsider shortly, they put their hand up in big style tonight with that 9 Point win over Carrickmore. Paul Donaghy must be the best forward in the county, his free taking from both sides was outstanding. Paudie McNulty, Conall Devlin and the Jones' also impressive. They also seem a lot more defensively sound under Slater than they have over the previous few years.

What's happened Beragh? Was last year a case of over achieving?

Good team. Should be top six not the bottom six. New management not even meeting the minimum expectation of Top Six.

Carrickmore's championship to lose

It's no clubs to lose, which is what makes the Tyrone championship the most competitive in Ireland. Errigal and Trillick will be the bookies 2 favourites and based on performances this year carrickmore would be in the top 3. But there are many other clubs who will fancy their chances, there's many who haven't started to hit form yet.

What puts Carrickmore top 3 ahead of Dungannon or even Dromore?

Realistically, it's hard to see past Errigal for the Championship.

Well one title in the last 10 years suggests different. They are far from a complete team.

Remember Paul Devlin didn't pick him in 21 for the squad and they still won the all- Ireland. Wonder has is attitude changed. He was hard work from what I recall. Probably remind me of Conroy. Has all the potential

Was it not more of the case that Danny wouldn't rejoin the panel for 2022 after the mismanagement and subsequent disagreement with Devlin against Donegal in 2021 that ultimately resulted in a strong Tyrone team going out in the first round?

How did Daniel Fullerton not kick a ball for Tyrone this year

Because hes from carrickmore...

Because nothing prior to May suggested he was worthy of a call up. If he maintains his current form he would be a good shout for a 2025 call up.
