Tyrone Club Football and Hurling

[GlenMan]

Clann Na nGael GAC have unfortunately been put in no other position than to concede Friday nights fixture that was to be played against Brocagh Emmetts GFC in Aughabrack due to it's clash with our Parish Priest's Golden Jubilee mass, both to commence at 7:30pm, we explored trying to have the fixture rescheduled to no avail, we would like to thank Brocagh Emmetts GFC Secretary Declan McKeown and CCC Secretary Michelle Cox for their efforts in trying to have the fixture rescheduled.

 

Is that a dig at Brockagh and the CCC?

Looks that way.

If that is the case they'd be as well outing the secretary and Brocagh in their unhelpfulness. 2x struggling clubs should be doing their best to see as much football for their teams to get out on the field not ensuring points on the board via walkovers.

Absolutely no wonder that Brocagh are where they are when that's the case.

Fairplay to CNG.

The post from CNG is genuine I believe. Apparently the CCC and Brocagh club were willing to change the game, but the Brocagh management point blank refused - that's why the Brocagh secretary is mentioned in a positive way.

Is this weekends game of Glenelly and fintona the league decider already?

Yes massive game, don't personally think fintona will have the players capable of marking our marksmen.

Was up at the game tonight in pomeroy. Impressed with Daryl Devine in middle of park. Think he was on that show underdogs someone in crowd telling me you can see the potential there. Only critique I would have of NE would be there goal keeper. Looks very up top heavy and free kicks were awful tonight

Summary

The problem: The Tyrone ACL Division 1 league has just started, with 15 fixture dates squeezed between June 5 and August 23. The first seven games come in 29 days, then after a break, eight more in 39 days. Some weekends force clubs to play Friday and Sunday — at one point three games in seven days.

His points:
Club players are an afterthought. The fate of thousands of club players hinges on one squad — the county senior team, and now the U20s as well. County players get proper recovery time; club players don't.

It's an injury machine. Clubs face rising physio bills and a growing list of ACL ruptures, hamstring and quad tears, hip and groin problems. No medical professional would endorse the schedule, and every reader knows a family dealing with the physical and psychological toll of serious injury.

The cause is money. Clubs are being squeezed to accommodate a prolonged inter-county championship he calls a money-making exercise, and it's unfair to expect them to come through it fit for championship in September.

The fix is protest. Clubs should refuse to conform to the schedule. County boards say clubs can be heard through delegates, but few speak up because they feel intimidated by the established order.

The culture problem. He describes a "totalitarian temptation" around the glamorous, media-driven county scene, with individuals and businesses profiting and clubs copying that blueprint at their own communities' expense.

The ask: Clubs should demand county boards put the same energy into solving this as they put into raising money for county teams, restoring respect for the club as the basic unit of the GAA.

I can see where he's coming from with this article but will the County Board do anything about this?

Why dont they just run U20 championship off straight knockout, would mean even if Tyrone were to go all the way league would start four weeks earlier. Same with minors, club minors are waiting for the county team to go out for several weeks. It also makes the games a far better spectacle. Its not rocket science. kick it in.

Drome 16 - Clonoe 1-13! seemed like tasty game. Anyone up at it?

[pomeroy plasterer]

Pomeroy Plasterer whats happening your team where is all their senior players from last year.. bad defeat

i dont really think its fair to ask 'whats happening your team' after two defeats and one against the top of the table

O'Rahilly's much the better team for most of the game, but let it slip coming down the final stretch. Great game of football all the same, credit to dromore for staying in the game and finding the equaliser. Good start to the weekend of football we have in store.

Up in Pomeroy last night, great game despite the conditions.

Naomh Eoghan dominated Pomeroy physically, which hasn't been said too many times when the Plunketts have played in D2.
