By Alan Rodgers TYRONE clubs joining together at underage level has become a common trend during the past decade as many areas of the county struggle to find the numbers required to field youth teams. Amalgamations are now a feature of competitions at u-14, u-16 and minor. In recent years, Newtownstewart and Dregish became the […]
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 Niall Gartland BEST out of three? Drumragh are the only side to have inflicted defeat on double-chasing Cookstown this season, but time will tell whether they can repeat the trick in Saturday’s Junior Championship semi-final at Loughmacrory. They bumped into each other twice in Division 3A, in the first instance conceding six goals in […]
By Barry O’Donnell THERE will be few teams more relieved to draw a line under the league and move onto the Tyrone Championship than Aghyaran.

By Barry O’Donnell THE Rossas appear to be rolling right now but cautious Ardboe manager Barry Dillon appreciates that in Tyrone club football rockier periods could lie around the next corner. The high-flying lough shore men have won three out of their opening four matches in Division One, and indeed but for a narrow 3-8 […]
By Niall Gartland PROMOTION has already been banked by virtue of a long-awaited league title, but Drumquin boss Stephen Ferguson says that they are going all guns blazing in the pursuit of Junior Championship glory. The Wolfe Tones found their groove in the second-half of their first-round tie against Brackaville, Ferguson’s home club, but they’ll […]
LAST weekend, the first round of the Donegal Senior Football Championship took place. Most of the results went as people would have predicted with my own club Gaoth Dobhair suffering the biggest shock of the round. Four Masters easily disposed of our lads, and they were full value for a win which should set them up […]
By Niall Gartland KILDRESS boss Cathal Corey is proud of how his players have come together and given everything to the cause in memory of their captain Matty McGuigan, who died suddenly last December.
