I would tip kildress for this one , Moy be low in confidence after the Dregish hammering, who are flying in fairness. Again i think killeeshill could beat Greencastle if they are on their game. Momentum is huge.

If the rumours are true bout Gormley going then Drumquin will be in bother this year.

I think they will have enough. Aghyarn have to be prime candidates, Plenty of teams in around it such as Kildress aghaloo killeeshill etc

With games coming thick and fast momentum will be huge. In division two I think we could see teams that lost their first two games struggle. It can be tough to break the habit of losing.Some weekend for the teams getting two  wins and they could really push on. Who would have seen Drumquin Cookstown and Dregish lording it around the top of Division two? I think any of these teams can really push on

Really enjoying this new format. It has been some championship so far, great to see the football being the talk of the country again. I am expecting Mayo and Tyrone to be a cracker. Louth will take some beating at home too, although I feel Armagh are sitting very nicely for the championship

I would suggest Greencastle will struggle this year, not going well by all reports. Few in-house issues. Seems to always be a problem in Greencastle which is a pity considering their ability.

Could you elaborate Sean I havent heard anything out of Greencastle this year?
 

Its starting to look like Eskra and Drumragh could be in a dog fight to stay up. Who would have predicted that in Div 3?

[Concanon probably the biggest talent out of Ardboe.]

McCullagh - What's his injury?

Concanon probably the biggest talent out of Ardboe. Id find it very surprising if Tyrone don't go on to win it now.

HAIL HAIL - Paul Devlin - HAIL HAIL

Conor Devlin captaining the team at centre half back has been very impressive and seems to be getting better every game.

Sorry forgot to include Conor Devlin - another good talent. Ardboe must have plenty of youth coming through?

Yes there has been alot coming through recently, will be interesting to see does it translate to senior success. While we are on Ardboe, where has young O Hare went, he was the talk of the country this time last year

have to Tattyreagh for 3B,yes they have had couple hard years but with 2 good managers now and boys coming home and young ones stepping up.Tatts will walk 3B and be in champo talk

What young lads do they have      

Anyone know if and when the pre season competitions are going ahead?

Aren't going ahead. Clubs weren't interested in them continuing.
Reserves starting mid April.
Seniors starting mid May - depending on U20 progress.

And clubs training from early December?

5 months preseason training??
What clubs are that foolish?

Are you saying no clubs are back in December?

Where did I say that, I asked what clubs are foolish enough to do that?

Tattyreagh out training this week. Complete stupidity, but then again they have a big push to get back to the dizzy heights of 3A for next year so they might feel this will give them an edge

Any mad motions or changes from the convention?

May not be that mad but Cookstown are bringing forward a motion that they can stay in Junior next year as getting relegated is not good for morale. Apparently they could not get a full refund for the open top bus so are postponing it untill next years Junior all Ireland if this motion passes . Is there any truth in this?

[Joe Maguire a far better keeper than Oisin O'Kane]

Joe Maguire a far better keeper than Oisin O'Kane
Bring back Michael O'Neill too

Thats the worst take i have heard in a long time

What is the story with Gortin and Glennelly, will they join again for youth? It is clear that the split has done neither team any benifit. There seems to be a bit of an uproar in Gortin about the split, with this emphasised by losing to Urney in a final in a hammering. Surely it cant get much worse than that, especially with their seniors in the top division last season , largely due to their good youth structures provided by the imalgimation .They have taken a huge backwards step thats for sure.

They won the grade 4 championship and beat Urney en route to the final.

Aw well then that team will give them the push to get back into senior. Some achievement!

Thought this was all voted on and sorted in April???
