Icons of the proud Augher club recall their first ever Senior Championship victory in 1976… By Niall Gartland NESTLED a few miles from Knockmany Forest is the tranquil border village of Augher. It would be entirely unfair to characterise it as a mere one-horse town but it’s hardly an urban hotbed – the 2021 census […]
By Niall Gartland A POTENTIAL fixtures crisis was averted at Tuesday night’s meeting of the Tyrone County Committee following a week of uncertainty – but frustration remains about the lack of a concrete start date for this year’s All County Leagues.

Dromore stars look back on special days at their home club ahead of its new development. By Niall Gartland MIGHTY oaks from tiny acorns grow. Back in the days before colour television, the home of Dromore GAA may have been fit for purpose and no more – but it certainly had its fair share of […]
By Barry O’Donnell SEAN Bogue admits that it feels somewhat surreal to be mentioning Croke Park and Clogher in the same sentence, but that pipe dream could yet become reality for the maroon and whites.
