By Niall Gartland BEN McDonnell is on the other side of the world at the moment, but for a spell in the early hours of Monday morning, it’s fair to say his heart will be firmly back in Ireland. Currently living in Sydney, the 2021 All-Ireland winner will sit down to watch Tyrone’s Ulster Championship […]
By Alan Rodgers TYRONE stalwart Frank Burns has hailed the impact of their new recruits ahead of Saturday week’s Ulster Championship quarter-final at home to Monaghan. It had all been looking so negative for the Red Hands as three losses from four saw them in a battle for survival. But the victories over Kerry, Monaghan […]
By Niall Gartland TALENTED Dromore forward Emmet McNabb has left the Tyrone senior intercounty set-up following an absence of meaningful game-time in the early part of the season. McNabb, who finished as the Tyrone championship’s top scorer in Dromore’s run to the O’Neill Cup in 2021, was drafted into the Tyrone panel for the 2022 […]
By Niall Gartland TYRONE have become the latest county to revert the ‘even-numbered’ model at underage level, following a vote of club delegates in Garvaghey on Tuesday evening. Club delegates delivered what was officially described by Tyrone GAA as an ‘overwhelming’ vote to end the experiment with u-13, i-15 and u-17 age groups, which was […]
By Alan Rodgers News of Brendan Dolan’s death exactly 50 years ago last week sent shockwaves through Tyrone in much the same manner as the passing of Paul McGirr, Cormac McAnallen, and Damien Casey more than a generation later.

By Niall Gartland CAVAN coach Ryan McMenamin is happy to be back as looks ahead to his second year of involvement at the Breffni County. After a sustained stint at Fermanagh – first as assistant to Rory Gallagher and then as manager outright – McMenamin had planned on taking a break from the inter-county game […]
THE start of the new inter-county season is only a matter of weeks away, and Tyrone goalkeeper Niall Morgan says the mood in the camp is happy and harmonious ahead of their looming McKenna Cup campaign. Tyrone’s All-Ireland defence came to a premature end all the way back in early June against Armagh, but he […]
By Alan Rodgers ALL the usual expectations from the Tyrone Senior championship suggest that Dromore should already have been dispatched to the graveyard of champions in the race for the O’Neill Cup. But the St Dympna’s have defied the odds in magnificent fashion and now stand on the brink of reaching the final for the […]
By Niall Gartland ROCK St Patrick’s have done extraordinarily well in Junior Championship level down the years, both in Tyrone and further afield, and the obvious next step is to make their mark at Intermediate level as well. Division Two champions Eglish may be favourites for this weekend’s quarter-final clash, but the Rock know how […]
By Niall Gartland KILLYCLOGHER haven’t exactly been handed the cushiest draw in the world as they finalise their preparations for Friday night’s block-buster clash against defending champions Dromore, but their joint-captain Mark Bradley wouldn’t have it any other way. Tyrone are the only remaining county in Ulster to opt for a traditional knock-out in the […]
