Tyrone Club Football and Hurling

[John Warnock]

Killyclogher gone.... Be some Hyroxs booked this evening, won't be a coffee bean or yoga class available in Omagh tomorrow.

A really under whelming KC performance, they never got going. Especially the two McCanns they weren't interested whatsoever. The Hayes brothers did seem to be trying but did have a lot of basic errors too. That said EC were pretty decent for a team seemingly missing so many, they sped it up and slowed it down as needed, although it made for a boring watch.

I wonder why KC had 4 starters benched, maybe took injured EC for granted?

Errigal, Lough & Carmen have to be the 3 teams up for it this year. Think league campaigns meant almost nothing this year when you look at the weekend's games.

Ruari Canavan did warm up for Errigal but couln't play the match, 2 weeks now to recover will he be back for Trillick? (Galbally not getting an appeal)

Lough will find it harder against Dungannon on Thursday night, Donaghy find it hard not to kick abit better was brutal last day out. He shouldn't be allowed to play in first place though.

Ruairi looked very sharp in the warm up at that. No doubt he'll be playing in two weeks time.

Road to Croker - 1 down.

Early senior championship quarter final predictions

Carrickmore vs Donaghmore- will be a lot tighter than some may think, Donaghmore are a team filled with sharp skilled footballers but Carmen for me too strong and more likely to rise to the occasion, Carmen by 3 for me.

Trillick vs Errigal- galbally appeal aside, trillick didn't impress on Saturday. They showed bits and pieces but nothing too convincing. Errigal looked very promising last night even though killyclogher were poor, Errigal by 4.

Omagh vs Dungannon or Lough- Omagh with a good win yesterday afternoon but shouldn't be getting in the way of either of these team in the championship. Very very tough one to call between Lough and Dungannon but I'm going to predict Dungannon just to edge it. Dungannon to beat omagh by around 9 or 10.

Edendork vs clonoe- both teams will be delighted with this draw what an opportunity for a semi final place for both. Was very impressed with clonoe yesterday. Edendork wasn't too sure about on Thursday, didn't show much promise. Was a poor quality game on a wet night so hard to judge them. For me clonoe might edge it but I could be very wrong, very tough to call. Clonoe by 2.

Is the Galbally appeal an appeal that could end up delaying the championship like the minor championship a few years ago?

Greencastle as well went the whole way to the DRA and it took several months to resolve.

The Tyrone Champions are scheduled to play the Down champions away on 1st November.

🏆 Intermediate & Junior Quarter-Final Championship Predictions

FRIDAY

Fintona v Drumragh — This has upset written all over it. Fintona come in as one of the favourites for the whole thing, while Drumragh are massive underdogs with absolutely nothing to lose. All the pressure is on Fintona, and I can see them slipping up when it matters most. Drumragh by 2.

Owen Roes v Cookstown — Game of the weekend for me. Two very evenly matched sides and this could go right down to the wire. McShane is obviously the massive danger for Owen Roes, but if Cookstown can somehow keep him quiet, I think the Town men take control and make it a much more comfortable night than people expect. Cookstown to win.

SATURDAY

Errigal Ciaran v Stewartstown — Errigal will have a proper crack at them and probably hang around for a while, but Stewartstown should eventually have too much quality. Errigal will give them a scare, but it won't be enough. Stewartstown by 5.

Greencastle v Rock — Don't expect this one to be getting replayed on TG4 Classics anytime soon. Could be a fairly boring, cagey affair with neither side wanting to take many risks. Rock to grind it out and get themselves into the semi-final. Rock by 3.

SUNDAY

Derrytresk v Castlederg — Another really interesting one. Castlederg will fancy their chances, but championship football is different gravy and I fancy the men from the Hill to find a way when it matters. They'll be booking themselves a place in the semi-final. Derrytresk by 4.

Naomh Eoghan v Aghyaran — After yesterday's game, I'm backing the Donegal men here. I wasn't overly impressed with Naomh Eoghan against Gortin, and I think Aghyaran have enough about them to punish them. Could be tight, but they'll get over the line. Aghyaran by 2.

Tattyreagh v Brocagh — Potentially the least competitive game of the weekend. Tattyreagh are massive dark horses for this championship and I don't think enough people are talking about them. Brocagh have a couple of dangerous forwards, but across the pitch I just can't see them living with the Tatts. Could be over long before the final whistle. Tattyreagh by 8.

Pomeroy v Derrylaughan — Pomeroy should be far too strong here. Derrylaughan will battle away, but once Pomeroy get going I can't see them being stopped. They'll pull clear in the second half and march into the semi-final. Pomeroy by 5.

[UtilityMan]

Senior

Loughmacrory/Dungannon v Omagh - Loughmacrory tried to coast through in 2nd gear, won't make that mistake again
Clonoe v Edendork - Edendork to live another week, 1pt in it.
Carrickmore v Donaghmore - Carrickmore's year, fancy them to finally end the drought
Trillick v Errigal - Trillick injuries will be the difference, Errigal getting stronger

Intermediate

Owen Roes v Cookstown - Cookstown's pace wins it, OR legs will be exposed in Healy. Not a good record here.
Pomeroy v Derrylaughlan - Pomeroy by 10+, all their eggs are in the Champo basket
Greencastle v Rock - Greencastle to edge it by 1/2
Naomh Eoghan v Aghyaran - Naomh Eoghan double dream to stay alive. Fairplay to Aghyaran disposing of a Moy side who were heavily tipped twice.

Junior

Fintona v Drumragh - Fintona eyeing up Croker 2027, this could be their toughest test on route.
Castlederg v Derrytresk - Castlederg v impressive last day out, good mix of youth and experience should see them through this
Errigal III v Stewartstown - Stewartstown win by 5
Tattyreagh v Brocagh - Tattyreagh will be fancying their chances with a few of the big men home. Expect them to go deep - draw dependant.

Think that Galbally appeal is a bit embarrassing, can't imagine the players were too happy seeing that.

The foul given was a foul. We need to move on or else we'll see

Clogher v Kildress Saturday @2pm

Clogher surely bound to have more quality, showed alot more quality against favourites pomeroy in champo last week, while the tonnes crashed out to a mediocre rock outfit

Clogher by 6

Agree with this based on current form - Kildress would walk D3 next year, don't think Clogher would.

Clogher by 3/4

Cahair O'Kane has posted the clip Galbally have complained about on social media. They have a right to be annoyed by that. Its a shocking bit of refereeing albeit Conroy has likely been let down there by his linesman. Probably be thrown out but good to see a bad call like that get the spotlight shone on it.

Why what's wrong with it?

Because Galbally are claiming he recorded the point before going back to the booking. Therefore the point should have stood as per the rulebook. I'd imagine Galbally have consulted with their club referee and not just pulling this out of their ass.

Nevermind the alleged miscommunication or equipment issue for the linesman getting word to Conroy. It's clear as day in the video Conroy watches the incident with his own beady eyes and allowed play continue before going back reversing score and awarding the free the other way..

what could the linesman possibly have said? "Martin please my ACCA depends on trillick" doesn't make a lot of sense from the outside looking in but presumably it's all in the report so the appeal will be decided on the contents of the report.

Can't see in the footage if the referee records it or not. Nor can you see any signal from him when they scored the "point", only the umpire. Next time we see the referee he's in conversation with the linesman.

Who'd be a referee if this where it's going?

[tyroneStatto]

The Galbally player fouls the Trillick player so in the end wasn't the correct outcome arrived at by not awarding Galbally the point?

Killyclogher gone.... Be some Hyroxs booked this evening, won't be a coffee bean or yoga class available in Omagh tomorrow.

Imagine a Kildress man giving Killyclogher abuse. Or maybe you meant to post this from your other account(s)?

Breathe ... its just a joke! I am well aware of Kildress' failings! 

[Aaron Boone]

Still think Errigal will give the Ulster Club a good rattle come November/December. First stepping stone overcome last night.
