Tyrone Club Football and Hurling

Aghaloo defence just not able to cope with Drumquin lively forward lin, unsure of who Drumquin have left but the league is in their hands.

You couldn't predict a game in Divison 2. Form means nothing any week.

Drumquin have 2 games left
Donaghmore and Strabane
Can't see them being caught

Could Strabane throw a spanner in the works?

No

Uphill battle for drumragh from here..I wouldn't say Fintona are out of the woods yet either. Tough for all the promoted teams

Some.turnaround for gortin to be sitting top having only finished a place above relegation play offs last year!

fintona will be fine, they will pick up points against clogher and naomh eoghan

Naomh Eoghan, Cookstown and Drumragh cut away at the bottom of Intermediate. Difficult to see them recovering from how it is set at the minute.

Naomh Eoghan play Fintona at home this week.
They play Owen roes at home in a few weeks.
Owen roes play Fintona at home in last game of season.
Fintona play kildress and Clogher at home as well as the two mentioned.
Stewartstown play Owen Roes and Clogher.

A lot of twist and turns to go

Yes not as clear cut as that post. Kildress fixtures against Clogher fintona and naomh eoghan the ones that should be targeted and hoping can win 1 or 2 of them to get to safety but no guarantees based on recent results. Drumragh recent performance shows they won't go down without a fight.

Cookstown run in very tough however they have shown they can get an upset with their performance against Moortown and with aberagh coming on last day with it all to play for for both that would give them motivation as Beragh have a tough run in considering how bad they have gotten since last year you wouldn't expect the 2024 Beragh to beat Gortin, Moortown or the Moy. Drumragh probably fancy it in the next fixture.

If naomh eoghan don't get something at fintona I think they are in big trouble.

10-12 points be needed to keep you up in division 2 this year, what's the highest someone has been relegated with?

2021 excluded as 4 teams were relegated, Stewartstown (2009) and Loughmacrory (2012) have been relegated on 12 points from Division 2. Both teams finished 3rd bottom but lost the playoff to the team below them. It was Galbally who finished 2nd bottom on 11 points in 2012 and they ended up having to beat Fintona to avoid the drop to Junior.

Read an article in the Irish news online about shortage of refs in the county and a Fermanagh man reffing the carrickmore Omagh game
What is going to happen in 10 years? I can't see why anyone would want that thankless job of a being a ref. Get abuse no matter what from one side at the end of the day if a team loses.
The age profile is high enough at the minute with some refs

Was the talk at the start of the year any club that didn't provide a ref/ if they didn't get a 2nd ref if they had development teams would be docked points at senior level?

Can understand why there's a shortage. Can't imagine the pay is good enough to put up with the shite you have to listen to. Not sure what else could be done to entice ones to become a ref apart from money

Clubs' own fault.

Referees have been attacked and clubs don't do anything about it.

No surprise there's no referees.

Name one advantage.

You didn't say advantages outside the scope of your arbitrary/contrary assessment of what constitutes an advantage

How silly of me

No doubt there's loads of referees then....must be a shortage as they're still on holidays!

No-one disputes there's a lack of refs and it needs addressed

There's probably a cohort of retired club players from all codes and grades too far up their own arse and too far gone to be persuadable (granted, they've probably never been asked!)

Like most things in the GAA you're better building from the bottom up through the youth to build that culture of progression and growth

Young whistlers anyone?

[square_ball]

The young whistlers was pushed last year for u12 go games. Each club to provide 2 x u16 lads and they'd get £20 for every game they refereed. Didn't see the same push this year so not sure if clubs are still doing that.
