Tyrone Club Football and Hurling

[LeoMc]

Just thinking of errigal. That point given from D. Canavan was definitely wide from my view.
P. Teague probably best player in the pitch and I still can't believe D&L played him at corner back against Armagh. Should be a shoe in for wing back for the county. Thought young Mcgarrity was excellent against Clonoe but the rest of their forward line was lackluster. If he plays that well agaisnt errigal their ulster club could be in jeopardy.

Such tripe talking about ulster clubs again. Both Errigal and Carrickmore would be more than happy with a tyrone title. As for the was it wasn't it a point the view to know whether it was a point or not was the umpire. It evens it self out over course of game as their was one in first half that wasn't given when it was over. Teague good footballer he was hung out to dry against armagh. Have to say I was very impressed Sunday with mc carron the full back for dromore. To me he is county standard

Can we not talk of a great team and their potential? Errigal the best squad on paper in ulster by my eyes so sureley worth talking about.

Well if they can get past Carrickmore and the Ulster Council decides to play the Club championship on paper they have a great chance.

Obviously a bit of shithousing going on here but Errigal do have a serious squad when you consider the amount of county representation they have between youth and senior.

Even if they may get a soft pick or two you have to be a really good footballer to survive in that environment I would imagine and it should obviously improve your game.

They have 7 current panelists. Scratch the surface on that
GK - McAnenley. Despite being 30 odd year old hasnt ever started a game that wasnt Mckenna cup match for Tyrone.
Defence - Niall kelly - managed to start an ulster final due to covid ravaged absences, he hasnt appeared since (despite playing well) he must have max 2 senior championship appearances
Midfield - ben mcdonnell. County panelist for 4 seasons. yet to nail down a place. Has never convinced me. In fact i wouldnt have him near a tyrone panel.
Joe Oguz - 1 mckenna cup appearance.
Ruairi - obviously an absolute star - but he has yet to make his senior intercounty debut
Darragh - exciting player but yet to nail down a starting place in the county side after at least 3 full seasons.
That leaves Peter Harte who is a genuine A lister.

the rest of the panel is hardly something special either. There were no tears on the county thread when aidan mccrory retired, or ciaran mcginley jetted off to the middle east for work.

I think Errigal will win the county championhip, but to suggest they have one of the best squads in Ulster is complete nonsense. This will become all the more apparent when they bump into Slaughneil or Glen Wattys.

Hello Mr Teague tell us what you really think.

I think you could be over critical of their panel. They have come through a difficult side with only playing 1 game of good football. The other 2 games they had to grind out. As for the names mentioned above 5 of them was named on the all Ireland winning panel with 3 of them featuring in the final out of a total 18 players players was it?

Although in saying that, if Eoin McCusker was still about to spring from the bench like what Colm McCullagh done last year i believe it could have been enough to make the difference last 10.

Surprised you could see the screen to type this out through your salty tears.

Aidy has put the myth of Paul Donaghy to bed.

Given EC is basically 4 clubs amalgamated they should win the lion share of Championships. Their recent record has been very poor for a "Super Club"

What clubs make up errigal?

[Christmas Lights]

Glencull, Garvaghy,  Altamuskin, Ballygawley, sixmilecross, I maybe missing another few locations.  Parts of Beragh as well maybe,  oh and maybe some of Eskra.

Edit, I somehow omitted Dunmoyle, it's nearly impossible to remember them all

The county board should organise  a divisional county championship like kerry. Could have errigal, east Tyrone, north Tyrone, south Tyrone etc. Maybe Omagh could have a team on their own also. Was thinking who should mark Conor glass , oguz or McDonnell likely. 

[tyroneStatto]

I'd say the main reason Errigal Ciaran was formed in around 1990 was simply because of Peter Canavan. I can remember him playing for Glencull in 1989 and I'd never seen anything like it until then. It was Incredible.

[Moonshine]

Up until some time in the 80's there was the Ballygawley St. Ciaran's football club, the only club in the Parish of Errigal Ciaran. Due to a simmering row within the club (I understand coming to a head in a parish tournament), members from the Glencull townland & surrounding area of the parish broke away and formed their own club, but were never able to formally affiliate with the Tyrone county board. Eventually a local priest was brought in to mediate between the two clubs and in the early 90's an amalgamation was created to form Errigal Ciaran - essentially going back to the same catchment area as the Ballygawley club prior to Glencull breaking off. Glencull, Garvaghy, Altamuskin & Dunmoyle are just townlands in the parish, with Ballygawley being a townland & village. Sixmilecross is in the Beragh parish, but players from that area have been split between Beragh, Errigal Ciaran & Carrickmore. The village of Seskinore is also in the Beragh parish, but has traditionally stronger affinity with Fintona (which it is closer to by distance than Beragh). Suggestions about Eskra is a specific bone of contention. 

Errigal Ciaran have been fortunate to have tremendous buy-in from its local community which makes some think of it as a "superclub", but it's no more of a superclub than Fintona is today simply because other clubs & parish tournament teams have existed previously in our parish to include the Barr, Aughafad, Carnalea etc. whilst also "stealing" players from Seskinore. 

A man with some history and a bit of knowledge. Too the rest who have very little history does it mean if a club changed its name does it mean their amalgamated, by that reckoning in tyrone there must be another 5 or 6 "super clubs".

The question you should be asking is if carrickmore or errigal win in 2 weeks will we see another decade of finals dominated by the 2 clubs as they are both fairly young.

A bit premature, there was a late winning entry by  Christmas lights.

Errigal have a well known history of stealing their neighbours best players. Peter Harte (Omagh), Eamon McCaffrey (Eskra), Peter Canavan (Killclogher). I am sure there are others.

If Carrickmore or Errigal win? Well one of them has to win it don't they? I'm no Carrickmore man but I'd safely say the vast majority of the county will take them lifting the O'Neill Cup over Arrogant Ciaran. Ye haven't dominated much in the last decade anyway, for all your numbers and catchment area. Good luck anyhow.
