Martin keenan must of give out some donation to green castle for the tanking kildress gave them

Out of interest, what would the split between Newtown and Dregish players be?

14 of the starting 15 for most of the year have all been Newtown, Conor Langan from Urney being the other (how Urney let that transfer go through I'll never understand).
McGovern the sole Dregish representative on the senior squad from what I can see.

Would Newtown be a mainly unionist town?

It would be close to 50/50

Ok.

How many clubs in Tyrone is there from a unionist majority area? From the top of my head I can only think of kilyman. The likes of clogher, aghaloo, castlederg, newtownstewart and cookstown would be mixed areas but looking at the recent census unionists would be slightly in the minority.

Is Castlederg the name of the club?


I'd say west of the Bann there'd be a very aging unionist population.


I think Tyrone leagues should start a good bit earlier, then finish their league and a 2 week break before championships starts.


Would solve a few issues.

With division 2 league all but wrapped up yesterday a few things are worth mentioning.

1st of all well done to Niamh and Owen on going more or less undefeated until the devils nectar got involved yesterday. By all accounts they have got themselves playing good football and everyone paddling the same canoe to move them forward.
 

Fines need to be upped for teams not fielding both in reserves and particularly seniors. How the Moy could with a straight face give a walkover to Cookstown yesterday is nothing short of a disgrace. I don't care if it was a wedding a stag etc. There would have been 15 men left somewhere in the Moy to take that tanking and give Cookstown a game.

Playoffs must go back to previous setup. The amount of points seemingly gifted towards the latter stages of the league is a joke. The danger is obviously needed at the top and bottom of the league to ensure that everyone has something to play for even if it is just dragging your neighbours/rivals down with you.

Think you're on the wrong account "weegortinjoe" Unless you were celebrating the beating of a Derrylaughan team who were lucky not to get relegated to Division 3.

End of the league pints are a must 2nd string sub. Have you any suggestions for me tho?

Predict Derrylaughan to go down next year.

Championship draws after league has finished. Seeded draw - top 8 plays bottom 8. Rewarded for finishing the league strong to ensure an 'easier' first round match.

The obvious solution in my opinion would be to bring back 1A 1B 2A 2B and have two going up and down betweeen each. Home and away fixture against each team.
Eg. Winner of 2A and Intermediate Champ Winner are promoted. Bottom of 2A are relegated and joined by loser of a play off between teams that finished 6th and 7th. Top in 2B and winner of play off between 2nd and 3rd promoted.
This only equates to 14 league games and 1 extra play off round for a few teams.
Allows the county board to play 7 starred games and they can bring in the staggered point system they wanted to bring in this year as every team will be worth the same points.
Allows the league to start in April if they wish - May is fine in my opinion.
It Structures the league better as there does seem to be clear bottom half and top half teams in Senior and Intermdiate.

Cant argue against that.

Championship predictions
Senior - Trillick/ killyclogher, can't see errigal being near this year with both canavans possibly being out.
Intermediate - Pomeroy/ Aghaloo. Aghaloo could be the derrytresk of 2007
Junior- Glenelly, this is the year that the pat Darcy cup comes back to the mighty plum
