Turley: We believe in ourselves this year
July 13, 2017
PETER Turley is confident that Down can defy the odds for a third time this year in Sunday’s Ulster Championship final against Tyrone. Wins against Armagh and Monaghan have brought Eamonn Burns’ side within 70 minutes of the county’s first Anglo Celt since 1994. Down are a confident, motivated force this season, but Turley says […]
McGeary keen to add to his résumé
July 13, 2017

June 15, 2017
EXPERIENCED Tyrone defender Aidan McCrory admits that he has no personal recollection of any verbal jousting with Donegal from past meetings, but is aware that it probably goes on. The two counties have developed a fierce rivalry over the course of the last eight seasons, their many encounters brimming with flashpoints and unsavoury incidents. More […]
McCloy: Derry chasing the spirit of 2006
May 27, 2017
ON SUNDAY, Derry play Tyrone in the Ulster Championship in a game which there will be a startling lack of expectation on the shoulders of the Oak Leafers. For a county that dearly loves to beat the Red Hands, the pessimism that surrounds the team’s chances of winning emphasises the low point that the county […]

May 26, 2017
VERSATILE Tyrone star Niall Sludden has already moved on from a league campaign that proved somewhat difficult from a personal perspective.
