We didn't have a bad season, assuming fintona win championship we will go up through second place. Anywhere giving odds for fintona to win junior all Ireland? Hearing they have key man Cormac Watson back from injury and starting to pick up form which of course should be a massive boost in their push for all Ireland

hate to tell ye but stewartstown are beating fintona in the final

It's hard to see, look at the turnover of players for stewartstown in last 3-4 years, the quality of the players lost since their junior all Ireland run hasn't been replaced. Fintona seem good, but it's hard to judge them until they come up against a strong junior team in the provincial series as Junior in Tyrone this year is overall very poor.

Is there a chance junior has just looked worse than previous years because fintona is so much further ahead?

No doubt Fintona are well ahead of the other teams. Glenelly finished 2nd in the league and will most likely piggy back up off a Fintona win. Their results in intermediate next year will more or less confirm the quality of the chasing pack. I would suspect they will get 15 tankings, and be back down to 3.

Glenelly will be eyeing up the likes of Kildress, but other than that, I'd say they lose every game, max two points, and straight back down again. Stewartstown would have given Division 2 a better go, but they couldn't get the job done on that fateful evening in Plumbridge.
Fintona, Kildress, Drumquin, Killeeshil, Rock, Greencastle, Aghyaran, Gortin - these are all games that Glenelly could get league points in. Not to many teams go down from Intermediate with two or less points.
They could but they won't, only chance they have of getting points is if a team have 3/4 of their men away or they don't field, massive step up from 3 till 2 outside fintona the rest aren't up to it. This will be shown next year when both teams that have went down, Aghaloo & Clogher will be at the top of the league next year. Drumragh have fell from grace badly.
drumragh always seem to have a lot of injuries which affects them badly never having a regular 15 out. Glenelly would be the probably be the 5th best team in junior, if fintona win the championship there would be 2/3 other teams that would give a better account of themselves in intermediate next year than the plum. bad league form let the other sides down

If we're 5th best team and we came 2nd what way does that work? Reading above posts also think we could target Omagh aswell.
Fintona will not be able to replicate the season that cookstown have had this year especially with the fact of young Welsh's dodgy knee

glenelly would get hammered by moortown never mind what omagh would do to them

Yes, i heard he was lording it in Philly with another few Tyrone men. A fox in the box! He will be back stronger than ever for fintona next year.

Genuinely don't understand the fintona glaze. Their in the top 10 teams in Tyrone membership wise, have been lingering in around junior for the past 15+ years bar a short lived stint in intermediate in 2024. That's a seriously impressive level of underachievement

UtilityMan

County board really putting the hand in with the 4 single semi finals next weekend. No reason why there couldn't have been at least one double header. Over the next 2 weekends you're looking at
4 senior x £11
2 intermediate x £10
2 junior x £9
= £82 roughly - that is over half the season ticket cost, glad I bought it now in hindsight but didn't expect that many standalones.

No shame, they have the paw out literally every direction possible...logistically it's a push to get around all the games as well. A double header at £14 will probably get 1.5x the attendance of 2 single matches at other ends of the county, as gaels 'on the fence' see it as better value and not everyone has a Range Rover with a diesel card to tip around in.

I know previous 'regular' attenders of seasons gone by have stopped going completely. Going to all 4 quarter finals for example is not exactly realistic if you have a family or work away through the week for the Monday night games.

Its just awkward even IF you have a season ticket. Is there any rationale for it?

See the Tyrone winners play Kilcoo 1st Nov in Pairc Esler.

UtilityMan ur just right it's a disgrace. Back in my day u reached into the pocket and a ball of rattlys served u well. Now there looking these oul digital tickets at the gate. £14 and u don't even get a paper copy to take home. Plus Healy park charging 2.50 for mug of tae. Games gone

The half time draw is always good for the loose change in yout pocket.Another outlay is the various clubs fundraising the 1 for 20 3 for 40 and you say no cash they whip out the visa machine and before you know it your in lol.

Ive bought some half time draw tickets in my time and never once came up with the winning ticket. Fr Ted no 11 springs to mind!

The modern ticket seller doesn't mess about with the wee card yoke! Would never begrudge a GAA Club selling tickets for their own development but, a thankless task, but when you take a step back and look at the club facilities in Tyrone you can't help but be in awe. A lot of hard work achieved that.
