Darragh Treanor arguably man of the match at full back tonight, Hanratty, Thomas Hughes and Fionan Carolan showed well too. Another game welcome before reality bites.

thought darragh treanor excellent last night...

Bannigan looks like a 6th year playing with the 1st years - miles above the rest at the moment on both teams

Replying To McGuirk1985@:  "Very impressive win against tyrone , bannigan is im serious form"
Seen someone last year say he was the best No.11 in the country. He's definitely not far away. Our most important player in my book.

Midfield a serious concern no clean ball winners and nobody in for the breaks michael hamill badly needed for the dirty ball a lot of lads from 5 to 12 not good enough under the breaking ball cavan fermanagh and tyrone cleaned us out in last 2 weeks otherwise we are well fit for div 1

I wouldn't be getting to giddy about the win last night, Tyrone looked very experimental. It's a confident booster nothing else

Both sides were experimental. Tyrone in transition under malachy. Result wasnt really that important in the greater scheme of things. Its nice to get another win and a match v donegal in final of a pre season competition to look forward to. Think donegal are a country mile ahead of all the teams in ulster but our newer players will gain good experience getting a run out v them so long as its not completely one sided. McGuinness is very competitive about winning trophies similar to mickey harte back in the day.
