Dungannon v Loughmacrory

Team news:

DUNGANNON have proven their worth in the league, but the question is: can they do it in the white heat of championship? Everything seems to be in place for them to do so, and they’re favourites to account for Loughmacrory in their first-round clash. They’ve done themselves proud in the league, and for anyone out there who hasn’t seen them in the flesh, they’re a strong, powerful side particularly at midfield and in the half-forward line. One of those physical players is midfielder Brian McNulty, who’s recovered after a few start-stop years with injury, and centre-half back Sean Molloy is also showing what he can do after also spending an inordinate amount time on the fitness table. Forward Paul Donaghy, who played well with Tyrone at underage level, is another talented six-footer, as is Kevin Parker, a member of the Tyrone u-20 team at the minute. Basically, they’re big, they’re strong, and they have all the potential in the world. They also have a point to prove after falling meekly to Omagh in last year’s championship.
