NEW Trillick captain Richie Donnelly will continue to keep a close eye on the fortunes of his club colleagues when Tyrone’s Ulster Championship campaign commences on Sunday week with a visit to Kingspan Breffni to take on preliminary round victors Cavan. The Reds claimed a memorable league and championship double last season and young guns […]
By Niall Gartland TYRONE’S National League campaign certainly ended on a sour note, but Seanie O’Donnell is confident that they’ll learn the lessons of a particularly chastening defeat to the Dubs. Their 21-point defeat has raised questions about where exactly the team stands heading into the championship, even with the caveat that they had already […]
By Niall Gartland ALL the hard work is paying off for Omagh CBS half-back Nathan Farry, an immensely skilled footballer who hasn’t had it all his own way in this year’s campaign. Farry suffered a significant sprain to his ACL last autumn that ruled him out of the MacRory Cup group stages, but he bided […]
Will it be another Glen footballer that comes up trumps in our coveted Men’s Footballer of the Year award? This award is sponsored by Tyrone Trailers and is in association with Ulster GAA. Last year it was tigerish defender Ryan Dougan who fended off stiff competition to land the prized individual award, and he’s in […]
By Niall Gartland TRILLICK native Jude McNabb will take charge of 2021 Cavan Senior champions Ramor for 2024. The Meath-based McNabb played for his native Trillick in the nineties, and he has brought on board his brother Pat, who helped manage Omagh CBS to their second ever Hogan Cup title on St Patrick’s Day this year. […]
By Niall Gartland THE old adage goes that it’s always darkest before the dawn and Carrickmore are bidding to round off their season on a high note in Sunday’s Division One final against Trillick at O’Neill’s Healy Park. Carrickmore produced an uncharacteristically timid performance in their first-round championship encounter against Edendork in late September, losing […]
AFTER last weekend’s game, we now have the pairing for the 2023 Ulster Club final and it’s one to get our teeth into. We will get to that game next week to try and see where each team may get success in their question to take home the silver. For now, let’s cast our minds […]
By Niall Gartland TRILLICK boss Jody Gormley acknowledged that his players ‘died with their boots on’ after they were pipped at the post in Sunday’s drama-laden Ulster Senior Championship semi-final defeat to Scotstown. The Tyrone Senior Champions fell agonisingly short on the day, losing out by a single point after extra-time at the BOX-IT Athletic […]
By Michael McMullan KIERAN Hughes feels Scotstown’s ability to last the pace silenced anyone who questioned their “old legs”. The Farney champions needed a late Conor McCarthy point to force extra time in a game they spurned early chances that nearly came back to haunt them when Lee Brennan kicked Trillick into the lead in […]
By Shaun Casey FOR a team that has dominated the club scene in Monaghan over the past 11 years, winning eight county titles, Scotstown have failed to really make a dent on the Ulster Club Championship. They’ve only competed in two Ulster finals during that time, losing to Crossmaglen and Gaoth Dobhair, and their most recent […]
