Trillick in good shape for another tilt at the title

Management:
Nigel Seaney, Malachy McElholm, Conor Daly, Liam Donnelly and Brian O’Kane.

Championship programme:

Tyrone SFC first round
Trillick v Galbally

Team News:

REGAINING the Tyrone Championship would probably tear a hole in the space-time continuum, but Trillick will quietly fancy the chances of doing the unthinkable after winning two of the last five championships. In saying that, Galbally have shown they aren’t out of their depth in Division One, so they’ll need to treat Monday evening’s match with the appropriate seriousness. Their starting line-up is much the same as last year, although Tyrone u-20 Simon Garrity has put a hand up for selection with a string of fine league performances. Much will rest on the fitness of their big names, none more so than Mattie Donnelly who has recovered from a serious leg injury incurred in the Ulster Club Championship last year, even if he’s still a bit off full match fitness. Their captain this year is Daire Gallagher. They have the raw ingredients to go all the way – the right age profile, talent, confidence and whatever else – but we all know how hard it is to retain the O’Neill Cup.
