411967 Ardbo will make sure the senior championship stays in the east.


Well they wont get any help from any of their neighbours up that end of the county-there would need to be some improvement from the capitulation in last year's championship

what a game in pomeroy tonight,a real tough championship match between 2 commited teams.shay mcguigan was the best player on the park,scoring 1-3 from play.this game had everything.3 brilliant goals,some great points and alot of off the ball stuff.i think we just about deserved in in the end though im sure the omagh boys on here might disagree.relieved to get the win against a very good omagh team.

Congratulations to Ardboe who done what it took to win the game, sometimes within the rules and sometimes outside the rules but as far as both teams are concerned the result was all that mattered. Omagh really lost the platform at midfield when No. 9 went to full forward and the Omagh Management have a lot to answer for as to why they left the only ball winner floundering in full fwd. If he was tired they should have brought on replacements, and when the game was turning niggly Omagh really bottled it as they have done many times before. The players essentially lost the game but their prospects were not helped by some poor management decisions.

gutted about the match today, we shuda won, some poor performances as well as managerial ones, the ref should have been far more disciplined only a few yellow cards flashed when there could have been sendings of,but fair play to arboe their experince shown through in the end, but we will be back stronger havent learned from this experinence

Not sure about blaming the management - I thought we were dominant but Ardboe continually checked Justie's runs. Also for both goals once we scored we were very quiet for next few scores - game should have been killed off but we let them back in.

Good man CheFinny. I like ur confidence in us guys. Great game last night. Omagh are bound to be disappointed. Threw away a 5/6 point lead on two occasions. Only scored 1-2 i think in second half compared to 1-6 from ardbo. Eirgeal/Dromore game should be good this eve.

well,at least gavin has another cship game to redeem himself

It was a bit like last years match with Dromore, when Teague comes up against a physical player he seems to experience problems and fade out of a game. Remains to be seen if he can redeem himself against these type of players!!!

2 committed teams - thats right, Omagh were committed to playing football, Ardboe committed to stopping them at all costs and most definitely not within the rules! Another absolute example of the complete inconsistency in Club refereeing. Omagh were five points up and cruising so Ardboe reverted to type and stopped them building at all costs. Most of the crowd didn't even see Ardboe's goal as they were still watching John McPeake lying outstretched in the middle of the park having been blatantly and unapologetically shoulder charged by an Ardboe player square in the face in front of the referee. A definite free at the very least and should've been a red card, but just a taster of things to follow. Of course history will say the townies rolled over, but it really wasn't any sort of advertisement for the Gaa to young players when such cynicism and downright thuggery goes unpunished by referee's which simply encourages it. Tipperary and Kilkenny was hard hitting and fair and played in the true spirit of the game, this game couldn't even compare to something like that. Omagh were on top in every sector of the pitch, and as for teague meeting a physical battle - he was marking the smallest man on the pitch - and still came up short. I hope Omagh get the chance to avenge this cynicism in a league final with officials fit to deal with it.

Black and white i think your over doing it that man who gave the shoulder before the goal 2mins before it was lying on his back after being threw over a omagh mans shoulder. And if ardboe were reverting to illegal tacticks how did they come back from 6 points at 1 stage if they were juss busy fighting with omagh. and by the way i was in line with the shoulder insident he caught the ball stood his ground and tensed up as the omagh man came to shoulder him but hit a "brick wall" of a man and a goal came of it. shoulders are legal in the game

by the way i thought gavin teague played well, ardboes best defender anyway

blackwhite you can complain about ardboes physical approach all you like.omagh were no shrinking violets either.both sides were guilty of some unsavoury things but the fact is that omagh failed to score from the 13th minute of the 2nd half and that will not win you many championship games.

I too was directly in front of the shoulder charge, he caught the ball and took two steps in the opposite direction to meet the Omagh player square full frontal before setting off again in the opposite direction and setting up the goal - which took them within 2points of Omagh.The Omagh player had to go off the field to get his face readjusted before re-emerging 10minutes later. The Ardboe player in question is 6'5" tall so as for being thrown over some mans shoulders I'm not so sure.

Give Gavin Teague a break, the lads only a year out of minor and is playing in a central position for a grade 1 side, so forgive him if he cannot match the physicallity of some of his opponents. Im sure he will mature into a fine player for both club and county
