Extremely hard to predict these games.

I'd say Dungannon will be itching to have a decent Ulster Junior run after failing to make the Tyrone SFC final. Yes, they have to play Omagh in the Tyrone JFC final but if Dungannon don't win that then some serious questions will need to be asked.

Hurling ?

Whoops! Yes, hurling! I'll edit my last post now!

They will be hard to beat. It depends where their heads are. Best team in junior possibly if they beat omagh

Did they have to play Carrickmore in the semi? Surely they didn't lose to Coalisland?

If they get out of Tyrone, Edendork must be in with a big shout of winning the intermediate. Not many teams with the likes of McCurry and Morgan in it.

In terms of the Ulster JFC since its inception in 2001, there have been 20 runs of it. Cavan have had 2 wins, Monaghan 9, Tyrone 6, Armagh 1 and Donegal 2. Down are the only county in Ulster to never reach a JFC final.

The Ulster Intermediate began in 1998 and has had 23 runs. Down have 3 wins, Tyrone 7, Derry 4, Donegal 2, Monaghan 4, Cavan 1, Antrim 1 and Fermanagh 1. Armagh are the only county in Ulster to not win an IFC but they have made 5 finals.

Looking at both competitions combined, it's very obvious that the strength in these two grades lies in Tyrone and Monaghan.

Monaghan - 13
Tyrone - 13
Derry - 4
Donegal - 4
Cavan - 3
Down - 3
Fermanagh - 1
Antrim - 1
Armagh - 1

Shane O'Neill's have Connaire & Ciaran Mackin along with Greg McCabe and they're not even guaranteed to get out of Armagh.

Tyrone Senior & Junior hurling championship this year had a league/championship round robin between five clubs - Carrickmore, Cúchulainn an Ghleanna, Dungannon, Naomh Colum Cille & Omagh. Top two qualified for the SHC final, third went into JHC final while fourth & fifth played in a JFC semi-final. Going into the last round of games it was Carrickmore vs. Na Ghleanna & NCC vs. Dungannon - Carrickmore were guaranteed to finish top having already beat Dungannon, NCC & Omagh in earlier rounds, so the game between NCC & Dungannon (played at Coalisland GFC's pitch) would decide who finished second and qualify to play Carrickmore in the SHC final. NCC won 1-12 to 0-13, so the SHC final is Carrickmore vs. NCC & the JHC final is Dungannon vs. Omagh, who beat An Ghleanna in the semi-final. Both finals are in Healy Park in Saturday 22nd October, JHC at 1.30pm and SHC final at 3.30pm. IIRC last year the SHC final was streamed live for free by the Tyrone CB, hopefully they'll do the same this year.

Bit of a shocker there then, I would hazard a guess that apart from this year there has only been two finals without a Carrickmore and Dungnanon final since the turn of the century.  Dungannon have seemingly been doing some amazing things at under-age over the past 10 years but it doesn't seem to be translating through to senior level. 

If they do go into Ulster, Setanta's league of nations would be favourites for the Ulster Junior.

Shanes/Saval in the next round would be interesting one if Shanes were to win the first game. Saval only up the road from Camlough so plenty would know each other

[DownFanatic]

Galbally and Corduff be two of the favourites for the Intermediate.

[general_lee]

My money is on Galbally or Castlerahan.
Shane O'Neill's will be doing well to get over Corduff, especially if they play like they did yesterday. They perennially underachieve when it comes to championship football.
