Tyrone Club Football and Hurling

[smort]

Have watched a lot of games so far and would proffer a few other names that have impressed. I'm not saying these players should get a call up, but if Malachy wanted to shake things up a bit... (I should say this doesn't include any of last year's u20s, some of whom will likely be part of the senior panel in 2025, and other players that have walked away over recent years)

Dwayne Quinn
Matthew Murnaghan
James Quinn
Matthew Quinn
Cahir McCullagh
Cathal Owens
Liam Nugent
Thomas Mackle
Thomas Carney
Lorcán McCullagh
Cormac McBride

And I agree on the Gary Gormley posts, posters have gotten way out of line

And another thing while I'm here, are people expecting prime John motson, or Martin Tyler, or Michael O'Muircheartaigh on comms? Think the guys do a decent job. I enjoy ger's passion

Not one player here worth calling up. None would see any game time and none are an improvement on anyone in the current 26-36 odd players who were involved in 2024.

Players I would call up:
U20s (after 2025 Campaign is finished in April/May) - Conor McAneney, Ben Hughes, Callum Daly, Conor O'Neill, Ruairi McCullagh, Gavin Potter. Obviously Rafferty, McElholm and O'Hare already on it.
Club scene wise (in order) - Rory Brennan, Paul Donaghy, Mark Bradley, Peter Teague, Ryan Cush.

You're exactly right. I was just doing an alternative list of guys who have performed well and deserved a shout out

I specifically left out the u20s and the recent walkaways, but I'd pretty much agree with your list there

Good to see Carrickmore ladies team doing laps of the pitch at every championship game at the weekend, any wonder they have a strong ladies side.
Anyone mistake the lads in fresh jackets on show at healy park for Arsene Wenger on friday night? Boys walking about with jackets longer than their own bodies?

I spotted them too, they looked to be from Newtownstewart (awful looking badge on them dresses they where wearing). Few of them also wearing caps, where they expecting "sun" at 8.30 on a Friday night in Omagh???. Probably walking around looking for more Dregish players to keep their club in Division 2.

Aren't Moortown and Aghyaran the 2 furthest clubs apart. As for the closest Fianna to Brackaville or Fianna to Clonoe? Both must be in around 1.5 miles apart.

Think you are correct on all accounts there clar

Coalisland / Clonoe 1.5 miles
Coalisland / brackaville 1.5 miles
Derrytresk / Derrylaughan 2 miles
Derrytresk / clonoe 2 miles
Augher / Clogher 2 miles
Omagh / killyclogher nearly 3 miles

Derrylaughan / Owen Roes 46 miles
Moortown / Aghyaran 55miles

also:
Brackaville to Stewartstown 2 miles
Dungannon to Edendork 2 miles

Heard Paddy Hunter has pulled away from Tyrone TV last night at the County HQ Committee meeting

[Augher112]

Colm McCullagh is a good appointment for Malachy O'Rourke's backroom team. Will have a very good knowledge of all the players in Tyrone. Hearing since the appointment McCullagh is bringing Tiarnan Sludden his fellow Dromore club man along with him who's knowledge of players U20 in Tyrone will be unmatched with anyone else in the county. Positive changes from Tyrone exciting 2025 campaign ahead!

[Tyroneman113]

Would think Dungannon have to be favourites are the last weekend of action. One major concern for them however would be the roasting McElhome gave to young Devlin. I see he is participating in the Clarkes quid games, he should probably focus less on it and more on his football. Expect Ben Gormley to get the big marking role against Trillick as he seems far more reliable which will allow Devlin to fist pass and pose for the cameras.

Would maybe get Peter Teague back on board also.

Welcome to the board John McElholm.

Came on this message board as a neutral from Down to read a bit about some good weekend games, only to see ridiculous levels of personal abuse aimed at a ref. Some really pathetic people posting on here. Having watched that particular game, the better team won regardless of what anyone thinks of the ref. Some people need to catch a grip of themselves.
Anyway besides that, the intermediate games I got to see at the weekend were great entertainment, plenty of open and direct football played. Credit to those teams for how they approached their games. Watched a few of the senior games too, and bar the Trillick game they were also excellent entertainment. Our own senior and intermediate championships in Down have failed to capture the imagination, and so being able to watch the coverage from Tyrone games was a bonus.

As the crow flies

(pitch to pitch)
Brackaville to Coalisland 1.1 mile
Brackaville to Stewartstown 1.5 mile
Coalisland to Clonoe 1.3 mile
Derrtresk to Derrylaughan 1.7 mile


Some useless information

[Carmen1932]

Some finish to that game.
Despite being entirely neutral I was happy to see Dungannon win after the carry on of the Loughmacrory bench in the dying minutes.

The Loughmacrory supporters behind me were very hard to listen to this afternoon.

Be hard to listen to them townie cu**s. Lucky against Donaghmore, Lucky against Loughmcrory. Luck will eventually run out

I disagree. Dungannon were only lucky against Donaghmore because they drew them in the first round. Never looked like losing even though they were in 3rd gear. But yes, lucky enough to beat Loughmacrory. Didn't play well but still managed to beat them.  That's the type of luck teams need to win the O'Neill Cup.

Killyclogher v Carrickmore

Kileeshil v Strabane
Aghaloo v Glenelly

Errigal Ciaran v Clonoe

My 2 cents on the upcoming games this weekend.

Game of the weekend will be the Errigal v Clonoe game.
Expecting to see Clonoe try and drop that high ball in all game, Errigal look weak anytime they're exposed to it and Clonoe clearly have the men to utilise for it in the McClure's, McNulty, Skeet or even Ryan Morrow.
