Trillick boss Gormley proud of his charges
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 […]
Hughes happy for Scotstown to keep answering the questions
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 […]
Reinvigorated Scotstown on the cusp of final

By Niall Gartland A STACKED Scotstown side stand in Trillick’s way of a place in the Ulster Senior Championship final, but Jody Gormley says his players are relishing the prospect of having a crack at the Monaghan titans. These two teams met back in the provincial arena back in 2015 with Scotstown prevailing in a […]
KEVIN CASSIDY: Ulster club is the gift that keeps on giving
THE second weekend of Ulster Club action took place last weekend and yet again the competition came up trumps. I’ve said on many occasions that this is the best competition in the GAA calendar at the minute and, based on last weekend’s evidence, who would argue with me? We will start with the Saturday night […]
