By Niall Gartland POMEROY forward Ronan Duffin recognises the importance of having a full panel to pick from as they get ready for Sunday’s Intermediate Championship quarter-final against Derrylaughan. For the first time all season, they had a clean bill of health as they swatted aside Clogher in the first round nearly a fortnight ago, […]
JANUARY is in full swing and with it the football season is churning out games at will. It’s early in the year but we have plenty to choose from. The pre-season competitions are back. We have the Sigerson Cup and the various club finals. You name it, we have it and isn’t it great. Last […]
By Niall Gartland SOME captains prefer to do their talking on the pitch – and Conor Shields certainly cuts the mustard in that respect – but the Clogher skipper must surely be a hugely motivating figure in the dressing room before battle commences. Shields delivered hugely poignant acceptance speeches in the aftermath of their Tyrone […]

Previous titles in 2007 and 2013 point to a proud history, but Lennon is more […]
By Alan Rodgers FOOTBALLING life has been good around Clogher during recent months as the joy generated by their historic Junior triumph has rolled right into a provincial campaign which will climax with an Ulster Final appearance this Saturday. It has been a roller-coaster few months as the Éire Ógs first missed out on promotion […]
By Michael McMullan CLOGHER may not be looking too far ahead of themselves but after a 25-year famine, they are still peeking happily into their Ulster venture. The Tyrone champions take on St Patrick’s, Donagh from Fermanagh on Saturday in Clones for a place in the Ulster Junior Championship final. For Ciarán Bogue, who bagged 3-3 […]
By Mark McGoldrick ST Patrick’s, Donagh defender Conor McDermott says there’s “a massive hunger within the team” as they bid to qualify for the Ulster Junior Club Championship final this weekend.
