Dromore hoping to exorcise championship demons

Management:
Colm McCullagh, Paddy Montague, Hugh McNulty, Kevin O’Brien.

Championship programme:

Tyrone SFC first round
Dromore v Omagh

Team news:

DROMORE’S starting line-up is much the same as last year, but they’ll hope that the extra year’s experience will count for something as they bid to make their mark in the championship. They’ve had some chastening experiences in the last few seasons, none more so than last year’s capitulation against Trillick in the first round, but they have the players to do much better having won the Ulster U-21 title last year. They still have a few stalwarts at their disposal – like Niall Sludden and captain Eoin McCusker – but the team suffered a major blow a few months ago when Emmett McNabb suffered a long-term injury while on trial for Scottish soccer club Ross County. Cathal McCarron has returned to the club but injured his shoulder in their first league match. The championship may be beyond them but they’ll be disappointed if they don’t get past Omagh in Sunday’s first-round tie.
