Clonoe 2-9  Coalisland 0-8CLONOE condemned their great rivals Coalisland to the drop for the first time in forty years with an emphatic victory in this much anticipated Division One relegation playoff on Saturday afternoon. The Fianna have been operating in the top flight ever since they secured the Intermediate League and Championship double back in the GAA’s Centenary Year of 1984, but this game was symptomatic of their season in many ways.

Moy 2-8 Greencastle 0-8GREENCASTLE’S hopes of an Intermediate Championship Final slot were dashed at O’Neill’s Healy Park on Friday night when two second half goals from Matthew Laverty and Patrick McGeary ushered Moy’s passage through to the decider for the second year running.

WHATEVER about the quality on show last Saturday- or lack of- Greencastle forward Daniel Tuohey maintains that one thing that can’t be questioned is the team’s resilience and character. The St Patrick’s looked almost down and out in a fairly turgid Intermediate Championship semi-final encounter against Moy in blustery Pomeroy until at the last gasp Conor Carson popped up in a crowded square to fist home a goal to secure a 1-3 to 0-6 draw.

AGHALOO probably feel they are a due a return to the left hand side of the ledger in the Junior Championship Final roll of honour. Whether it’s Wikipedia or Joe’s much more reliable ‘bible’ of Tyrone GAA history, the O’Neills do pop on in the runner-up list more often than they would wish when you take a quick peruse of the past Junior finalists.
