Castlederg through to a semi final, they'll be massive underdogs against the Harps but its a one-off you never know but think they'll just fall short. Stewartstown by 2

Tattyreagh done enough to get through Brocagh who fought well, wouldn't have wanted Fintona next but you have to play them eventually. Fintona by 8

Naomh Eoghan got the job done against Aghyaran, seen them a handful of times this year, they just have a way of seeing things out and getting scores at the right time as they did with their goal. Aghyaran hit monster 2s which kept them in it but ran out of steam in 2nd half. NE eventually got drawn against Rock after a complete mess by the CCC, Rock defence will struggle with the NE forward line. NE by 3

The Plunkets as expected brushed aside Derrylaughlan who have scathy form all year and a 20% fit Kennedy. Burns looked very good second half as they seen it out. Derrylaughlan will be in D2 for the forseeable. Tie of the round, youth v experience. Predicting a draw first day out with Plunkets taking the replay by 3.

Games go to extra time and penalty's now. Was only got first round that we got replays.

O rourke will be fairly happy that he can get Kennedy to surgery now as he's not been right for months I think.

But sure some point him getting the surgery now then playing him in the first league game of the season. Not sure why players can't be let to fully recover. Seems to be just get them injected, fit enough to play the next game then take it from there

[Did anyone else think it was a bit much the level of boo-ing the Lough support was giving Dungannon coming in at half time?]

Loughmacrory far better team last night and I think them and Errigal would be a good final for a neutral.

But can something be done about their supporters constantly kicking balls onto the pitch from behind the goals.

Did anyone else think it was a bit much the level of boo-ing the Lough support was giving Dungannon coming in at half time?, I am envious of the numbers and passion that the Lough support bring to their games, but I thought that was a bit  over the top. However I understand its a huge boost if you were wearing black and yellow.

That was almost the nail in the coffin for the clarkes, a poor first half, handbags resulting in a black card and then getting booed down the tunnel.

Yes and they also booed Hurson going down the tunnel as well. Also, the carry on with kicking balls onto the pitch and soccer style chanting from their supporters makes them very hard to like. Other clubs don't behave like that.

Still have a junior club mentality. They will be back there soon enough !

Can't see them being back in junior any time soon to be honest.  Think all their underage is competing in division 1.  I think it's only them and Carmen with all teams competing in top flight

On the topic of "mentality" and fan base decorum..

Ironically I may have to rely on our forums statistician tyronstato ( whose initial claim that other fans don't get on like that) to keep me right here.

2023 - fintona fans make headlines with attack on referee.

2018 - strabane and stewartstown make headlines for a mass brawl

2011 carrickmore and dromore make the tv news with a mass brawl involving the crowd.

2008 - carrickmore and Errigle make the news with a mass brawl involving the crowd.

Have I miss any out in recent years?

What was the one involving Coalisland a few years ago? Maybe 2 or 3 years ago I think?

Galbally lose their appeal according to Niall Gartland. They have an option to go to Ulster GAA

after the weekends games, anyone any suggestions who could get game time come mckenna cup stages? thoughtnthe county men have been overall poor.

Callum Daly - Omagh
Matthew Quinn - Dungannon
Dara Curran - Loughmacrory

Brian Gallagher Dromore possibly

Anyone know why T McCann was held back? Didn't hear of any injury issues there

Galbally have launched an appeal on their loss. Not to be surprised from a cowardly club trying to scrape back some dignity. Any other club would take thier medicine. Galbally had 3/4 chances to put that game out of reach. Embarrassing going to the CCC

Just saw that. What happened that they're annoyed about?

Where have you seen this?

Teamtalk. I heard it's in relation to a galbally point that was ruled as a trillick free after the referee consulted with the linesman.

Its a bit sad and desperate to be honest. Considering they were 7(?) up with 20mins to go, they should be pointing the finger closer to home.

And the fact that they had chances to win the game too and couldn't take them. Should be laughed out of the room

Think the point that was taken off them because a Galbally player tripped up a Trillick player in the build up that the ref didn't see at first but the linesman called it back

Went back 20 years and only games that can see a Galbally win in the SFC are Kildress 2009, Greencastle 2010 and Pomeroy 2018.  They beat Pomeroy as well in 2019 IFC Final. Bear in mind though they were in Intermediate from 2011-2015 and 2019 and 2022. Interestingly they were very nearly relegated to Junior in 2012.

Where have you managed to find this out of interest? Just news articles?

Only so many times I can say Gabally are unlucky in the championship before expecting more.
Tbf they came out second best to Donaghmore last year in the game of the championship ( 3 wides total that day.)
Today on the other-hand they threw it away. Trillick were poor overall and missed a bagfull. Individual performances by the brennans is what got them over the line.
Gabally no.15 had two opportunities from dead-ball to take it through and fluffed them. Ultimately cant be making those errors if you're serious contenders.
Just cant put my finger on it. Their inside three as good as any in the county and very strong and well rehearsed midfield. Are they just missing that top cut player to dictate a game for them? I fear they've very little time to figure it out before this golden crop of players becomes irrelevant.

They're just missing that bit of control that the other teams have. Don't know how many times yesterday they kicked an aimless ball in instead of working it around and composing themselves. Seems like if they don't get a scoring chance within 30 seconds of getting the ball they just try to force it

2 unreal games today. Well worth the admission into them

Shame that these Omagh fans couldn't find their way to the league games when the team needed them. A lively bunch in the stands here

Galbally ever be able to get far? Always seem like a good league team just

Any good perofmanaces? Missed the game

Young Corrigan was good I thought. Cormaic Donnelly didn't have the same impact as I've seen him have in league games. Galbally just do what they're good at, getting goals . Trillick able to bring on Jiggers for Mattie and Seanie O'Donnell on helped them and Daly stepped up in the second half

Ardboe poor enough again in the championship.

when was the last time Ardboe made the semi finals of the championship?

'23 was it? Not that they'd want to remember it lol

When would you say was Ardboes last real title challenge? Got to the semis a few times but well beaten if I recall correctly. When is the last time they got to that stage and put up a good challenge? Bound to be coming soon with the underage success they've had
