Derrylaughan hoping for rare senior championship win

Management team:

Kevin Coary

Championship programme:

Tyrone SFC First-round

Moy (Sunday, Dungannon, 2pm)

Team news:

DERRYLAUGHAN haven’t won a senior championship clash in nearly a decade, but they have every chance of doing so when they take on the Moy in the first round. The lockdown seemed to work for the club’s benefit as a number of injured players have had the chance to heal up. The majority of the team is in the late-twenties, early thirties-age bracket, but they have a few talented young players. Brian Kennedy broke into the Tyrone senior panel last year, while Tomas Carney was recently involved with the Tyrone U20 team. James Donnelly and Conor Hughes are not long out of minor football and are doing well, while at the other end of the age spectrum, Martin McStravog, a member of Tyrone’s 2001 All-Ireland minor winning side is still as influential as ever, while their captain Ciaran O’Hagan is another stalwart. They last achieved promotion two years ago and will really want something to show for themselves in this year’s championship.
