Donaghmore thirds? Is that a thing?

[BIGONE]

apparently so

[toby47]

Gaelic Life announced the new Moy manager today. However it's behind a paywall so i couldn't see who it was.

Donaghmore thirds? Is that a thing?

Won't be a thing for too long. A serious commitment from a club of that size to keep a creditable 3rds team going - fair play for trying but I feel it will be too much for them

Conor Murray (ex Aghagallon) and Philly Muldoon (Ballinderry man or maybe Moortown) according to sources in the Moy

I think it is a good move, maybe a year too soon. They have serious numbers coming through and Ned to keep them involved.
If you have 2 minor teams (38+players) and only. 2-3 make Senior in the following year you lose a lot of late developers, especially as it is now u17.

Great move and great to see, ambitious and keeps lads of all ages and abilities playing longer, you're a long time retired. Really great way to target late developers too. If Adrian Cush togs out I'll happily pay at the gate!

I'm not so sure.. we experimented with a thirds team for a year or 2 and I would say most people in the club have mixed feelings about it. It kept older boys who weren't fit for senior or reserve football out and at it and younger boys just coming out of minor a bit of game time. I think unless you can keep men motivated and playing a considerably decent level it eventually falls through and numbers start dwindling away as your good young players are taken into senior and reserve panels. Fair play to donaghmore for the ambition but I'd give it 2 years max

Have said it before on this board; there is demand for a social league in Tyrone.

A thirds team as you have described, competing in a Division 3 league from April to December with breaks for county football etc will run out of steam.
A 6-8 week league in the best months of the year with games on a week night would suit a lot of guys who don't play at all any more

[Under Lights]

Donaghmore had 7 players on Tyrone under 17s in 2021 and I believe they have the same on the under 17 panel for 2022.

[Tyrone Gaa]

Well done to Carrickmore on winning the league.

An expectant Errigal side fail to get over the line AGAIN.

[Snapchap]

Errigal are a 7-10 point better team than Carmen
They should win easily

Errigal by about 5 or 6 I think.

Any more top tips there lads?
