Tyrone Club Football and Hurling

[DownFanatic]

The penny needs to drop in Tyrone. Push on and get playing club football.

[Jerome]

So if it is deemed ok for minor clubs to play away without their county under 17s, in a competition where unlike seniors there is no next year, then why is it deemed impossible for senior teams to play without county under 20s. Time everyone wised up.

[Jerome]

Some big results in opening weekend in D3. Kyle Coney doing great work for Derrytresk and beating Drumragh. Strabane getting turned over by Glenelly also a surprise.

That's some mgmt team Derrytresk have.. not sure they have the squad depth to challenge though

Is it just Cookstown in Division 2 that has lads on the u20 team/first few subs?

Cookstown, Kildress, Beragh and Aghaloo

Do the current club minors play their league without their County U17 players?

County minor games on a Saturday and club minor games on a Sunday usually. As a rule our lads on county u17 team played a part the next day for the club.

Somehow there seems to be more flexibility with u17s.

I don't advocate anyone playing 2 games in 24hrs but have to give some credit to minor management for allowing lads to make that choice based on how they feel.

A significant number of minor games have been played midweek and county U17s havent been allowed to play in them.

Yep. Think the county lads played maybe 5 or 6 games this year if it's the same for every club. Could be waiting weeks now to start championship so would expect a fair few friendly games for the minors

County Minors not allowed to play with their club for Midweek games. Games/training Saturday and tehnically released to play games on Sundays.
Club Minors is now on hold but until the County season finishes - The All Ireland Minor Final is down for 5th July and then counting the July break the Minor season might not resume until 15th July for league knockouts and championship. U16 season not starting until Minor competition is completed.

James Mulgrew from Kildress has also featured.

Would he have played any club minor at all this season?

No, I dont think him or Peter Colton have played a minor club game this year which isn't right in my view.

Who is all involved in the set up? That was a good start to the season for the Hill

[tyroneStatto]

What is the plan for senior football now? 29th May? Would be latest start to a season ever. Madness.

Think going forward from next year club senior football needs to start regardless of Tyrone U-20s. County Board needs to show leadership on this issue.

I can't understand the grief the county board gets about this, it is the county committee made up of all club delegates that decided no club ball until U20"s are over, certain clubs refuse to play without their U20's, the CB can't overrule the wishes of the clubs at county committee level. It is these clubs that need to be held accountable or else the full league set up needs changed, the county board put options to clubs about this but proposed changes got shot down. It looks like senior league won't start until 5th June

Same with Goodman, Quinn, McAnespie and Ronan Donnelly. None have played their final year of club minor football.

I can see both sides but id have to imagine its a very finite number of clubs affected by the players they're missing so it has to be oldfashionedness etc. keeping the change from coming from the masses.

The grief however is much easier to figure out when you consider that for a few weeks teams are expected to play 2 games a week for a number of weeks. With the latest start ever now proposed this will only be worse than ever.

Wasnt all this change for player welfare? I know in our own club its impossible to get even the club physio when it gets to this time of year as lads are being flogged with games after having trained for 8-9 months and then trying to balance work/games/rehab particularly in that busy spell is very difficult.

But with all this said at least poor little Ardboe dont have to play their early league fixtures without 2/3young boys. Im being sarcastic here and using Ardboe as an example but the point stands. A proper restructure is needed.

When I looked at the proposals at the end of last year regarding the restructuring of the leagues to decouple Senior and 2nds football it was apparent that we are putting the wrong people in post to come up with these plans. People will vote for 4game leagues etc because they want any kind of change. but the right change isn't being put onto paper for voting.

Championship draw done. Be hard to call any of those games at this stage in the year

Ill attempt the impossible here.

Division 1
Loughmacrory V Dungannon Loughmacrory beat Dungannon who I can see starting to falter in their d1 status
Coalisland V Clonoe This will be built up and will be a damp squib Draw with Clonoe winning replay
Killyclogher V Errigal Ciaran The Barista men will be lucky to be within 10 pts of Gods Sons Errigal Ciaran
Omagh V Moortown Moortown lucky to still be in the division easy victory for the City men
Trillick V Galbally Trillick will walk this
Edendork V Ardboe This has the makings of a great game but the tall cross men will be too green just yet Dorks to win
Eglish V Donaghmore Contentious one perhaps but I think Eglish walk this Donaghmore likely to be in freefall with Bradley at this stage i'm told.. with Logan unable to settle the ship
Carrickmore V Dromore Carrickmore will use this game to lay a marker down to the whole county but more importantly their neighbours the county champs.

Division 2
Aghyaran V Moy Moy win this as the Donegal side age and numbers not coming through
Cookstown V Drumquin Drumquin use underage success and a decent 2025 campaign to overcome the home of bleached blonde hair and white adidas preds
Greencastle V Beragh Beragh will win both the fight for the mountains above Carrickmore as well as the football game
Clogher V Pomeroy Probably the hardest to call in the division, Pomeroy edge it with a bit of experience and some of the counties oldest stars
Rock V Kildress Kildress to beat their neigbours convincingly
Gortin V Naomh Eoghan Gortin win this and Naomh Eoghan Get back to playing soccer for Ardstraw
Owen Roes V Aghaloo Aghaloo to win handy and as a result Owen Roes will be relegated
Kileeshil V Derrylaughan Derrylaughan will beat Kileeshil and they'll blame the lack of a bad smell on their poor performance

Division 3
Fintona V Urney Fintona win this and aim for a junior championship
Stewartstown V Strabane Stewartstown win this narrowly in a dull affair
Eskra V Augher Augher by a handful

Derrytresk V Killyman Derrytresk beat killyman with the remnants of a 2011 all ireland finalists panel...
Glenelly V Castlederg The Derg beat Glenelly in a swashbuckling affair
Brackaville V Tattyreagh The Tatts beat Brackaville
Clann Na Gael V Brocagh Clann Na Gael beat Brocagh at their leisure
Donaghmore III V Drumragh If Drumragh lose this they should fold
Errigal Ciaran III V Cookstown III Having learned nothing from last years fiasco Errigal "shits" as their affectionately known line out with a full forward line of P. Canavan D.Canavan R.Canavan (Errigal win)
Prelim Winner 2 Stewartstown V Omagh Stewartstown win comfortably in this
Prelim Winner 3 (Augher) V Prelim Winner 1 (Fintona) Fintona will beat Augher


Ill revisit at the time and either gloat or eat my comeuppance

What a load of rubbish

Round 2 & 3 will be played on Friday 12th and Sunday 14th and then one more double game week at a later stage. That concludes the leagues for first week in September including July break. Hardly that excessive when you actually look at it.
