By Alan Rodgers A FIRST clash for Tyrone against the All-Ireland champions Dublin in Croke Park for five years will provide the Red Hand team in transition with the ideal chance to test their current status as this 2024 National League campaign reaches its conclusion. On that occasion in 2019 Tyrone recorded a marvellous 1-14 to […]
Strabane man and Ulster GAA President Ciarán McLaughlin will head up the committee to oversee the development of Gaelic Games across the world.

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 […]

They won the All-Ireland title in memorable fashion two years ago, but even though they still boasted an immensely talented side, fell short at the first hurdle last March with defeat to […]
DUBLIN’S opening two boring defeats in the league prompted me to ask the question, “Why won’t they kick the ball in to Con O’Callaghan?” For those games, he was a peripheral presence, tracking back and tackling round the middle third, taking a hand-pass at the last minute in a crowded defence.

By Michael McMullan THE late Cormac McAnallen could’ve been one of the greatest players to play the game. That was the take of his former minor, u-21 and senior manager Mickey Harte. Speaking to the press after Saturday’s 1-16 to 1-11 to Dublin, on the 20th anniversary of Cormac’s passing, Harte said it will be […]
