So it's likely going to be Tyrone?

Should be but looks like McElholm is staying with the Seniors, which is a big big loss for Tyrone chances.

But 100% committed to the U20's apparently.

Quote from: SouthOfThe Bann on April 09, 2025, 11:32:14 PMWe might poke fun at Derrys demise at senior level but what the he'll are they doing at underage level absolute conveyor belt of top class teams. Big win again tonight.

Derry have to be one of the most successful counties in Ireland in recent times at underage and school level. But it must be head scratching for Derry folk why that can't seem to carry into the senior team. Especially when you look at other Ulster counties like Donegal, Armagh and Monaghan who haven't been as successful at underage level but more successful at senior.
Derry have won 2 of 4 (including 2025 which we can't win) Ulster Championships and a National Football League.
Armagh haven't won Ulster since 2008, and Monaghan since 2015.
Armagh have the All-Ireland, Donegal have an Ulster Championship in the same timeframe.
Armagh fans would I imagine take their All Ireland ahead of all Derry's wins and Donegal fans are certainly more optimistic of the future.
But between the three counties you mention Derry could be considered the most successful over the recent period so I am not sure it makes your argument that underage success "can't seem to carry into the senior team".


In fairness I maybe didn't word it right but I wasn't claiming Derry were less successful than those 3 counties, I meant those counties have been more successful at senior level than youth level. While Derry have been very strong at youth level but haven't matched that success at senior.

He's named to start for Tyrone tonight.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Armagh free brought in 50m because there was a group of players and the player taking the free ran into the group of players that was surrounding him. No chance at all for the crowd to get out of the way and no genuine attempt from Tyrone to stop the free/tap and go being taken. Some craic

Good half for Armagh, 1.6 to 8 up at ht and missed plenty of chances, looked like Tyrone had whatever wind there was in their favour. Armagh missing their CHB & MFer that went off injured last week as well. Tyrone very dangerous looking when the ball gets up front quickly.

Complacency is a killer, hard to shake it.

That was a disgraceful decision.
