By Alan Rodgers NOTHING beats that feeling of euphoria following a big Championship victory. That was certainly the case around Ballygawley on Sunday, night into Monday as the players, management and supporters celebrated their marvellous Ulster Club success. It was one 22 years in the making and the club enjoyed marking just a third provincial-title triumph. Trips […]
By Alan Rodgers PETER Harte was a young boy watching from the stands when Errigal Ciaran last reigned supreme in Ulster. Now, after more than a decade representing the club with distinction, he is preparing to play what all hope will be a pivotal role as they prepare for their first provincial decider in 22 […]
By Niall Gartland ERRIGAL Ciaran are back at the summit of Tyrone Club Football for the second time in three years following last Friday night’s victory over a gallant Trillick side. It was a superb performance from Enda McGinley and Stevie Quinn’s team – and a significant slice of redemption having lost out to Trillick […]
By Niall Gartland ERRIGAL Ciaran stalwart Peter Harte was the hero of the hour with his sensational injury-time winner against Killyclogher on Sunday night, and he acknowledges that there’s something ‘special’ about the Tyrone Senior Championship. A bumper crowd is expected on Sunday, October 20 for the O’Neill Cup showdown between Errigal Ciaran and Trillick […]
By Niall Gartland TYRONE have named their team to face Roscommon in tomorrow’s All-Ireland Preliminary quarter-final at O’Neill’s Healy Park. The team has been rejigged in the middle sector with Conn Kilpatrick ruled out due to suspension, subject to any further appeals. Mattie Donnelly has been named in midfield, with captain Peter Harte slotting into […]
TYRONE have named their name to face Donegal in Saturday evening’s All-Ireland Round Robin opener at Ballybofey. They have named two changes from the starting team that lined out against Jim McGuinness’ side in last month’s Ulster Senior Championship semi-final clash, a pulsating encounter that saw Tyrone lose out after extra-time on a scoreline of […]
By Niall Gartland BLITHELY describing Peter Harte as an ‘experienced footballer’ would be doing the man a considerable disservice. Having made his senior debut with the county all the way back in February 2010, the Errigal Ciaran man is now on the cusp of his 15th uninterrupted Championship campaign with Tyrone – and it’s fair to […]
By Niall McCoy TYRONE’S Division One campaign has been a real up and down affair – but they can take a major step towards safety with a home win over neighbours Monaghan on Saturday. It says it all about how tight the top flight has been that the Red Hands could still possibly make a […]
By Niall Gartland DONEGAL legend Michael Murphy expects at least some of Tyrone’s elder statesmen to return for the 2024 season following Saturday’s disappointing championship exit at the hands of Kerry. Murphy, who hung up the boots at intercounty level last November at the age of 33, thinks that the raft of young talent coming […]
Tyrone (Eight All-Ireland titles) TYRONE are fourth in the overall leaderboard with a very impressive eight All-Ireland titles to their name (only Kerry, Cork and Dublin have fared better over the years). The Red Hands won their first All-Ireland titles in 1947 and 1948, and their winning run in 1998 laid the platform for their […]
