 |
MIDFIELD
Maeve McGurk
AGE 24
|
Kildress, it was a worry to John McAleer at the stat of the year
with injuries to key midfield contenders who would fill the gaps,
well he shouldn’t have worried as Meave has been impressive
in the number eight shirt, has took the responsibility well and
revels in the engine room of this Tyrone side, has two Ulster titles
already…now seeking the hat-trick on Sunday. |
 |

Junior medals, again has played a pivotal role for Tyrone this season. |
 |
FORWARD
Orla O’Neill
AGE 23
|
St Macartans has made the number ten shirt her own this season
, works hard on the wing and can comfortably come into the middle
to support to the midfield, has been ever present and has come through
the under age ranks. |
 |
FORWARD
Cathy Donnelly
AGE 19
|
St Macartans was in the wars in the semi-final but played through
the pain barrier to help Tyrone home, scorer of 0-2 this campaign
Cathy has one Ulster senior and minor medal but certainly her commitment
to the cause of Tyrone deserves another senior gong, joined the
senior ranks in 02. |
 |
FORWARD
Ann Dooher
AGE 24
|
Glennelly A player who will run and run, a vital score getter
and a player who can turn a game with a flash of brilliance, has
achived a lot but surely theres more to come for the 5’9 forward
who can also fill in at midfield, has one Ulster senior medal aims
to add another against the Farney girls. |
 |
FORWARD
Gemma Begley
AGE 20
|
FORWARD: Gemma Begley 20 An Charraig Mhor an outstanding display
against Down with two cracking goals set Tyrone on the way in this
campaign. The young forward has contributed 3-3 in the campaign
and has been a constant thorn in the side of all the defences that
have tried to control her. Joined the senior squad on 02 but is
enjoying 2005 so far. |
 |
FORWARD
Eilish Gormley
AGE 27 |
An Charraig Mhor when they talk of influential captains they
must mention Tyrones, Eilish Gormley is a born leader a score provider
and score getter, is the Tyrone sides top scorer with 1-17but has
she ever scored a more crucial point as she did in the semi-final
against Donegal. Came from her sick bed to lead Tyrone mid-week
but again gave 110%, twice an All star she joined the senior ranks
in 1995 and has amassed numerous honours with club and county, no
player deserves another championship medal as much as Eilish. |
 |
FORWARD
Caroline Kelly
AGE 25 |
Aodh Ruadh despite serious injury in Tyrones last group keep,
the young Dungannon forward returned to the attack for the semi-final
and she put in yet another superb performance, having scored 0-5
in the campaign, she like Begley has caused defenders nightmares
in this championship. A former minor Caroline has three Ulster medals. |
 |
FORWARD
Lynette Hughes
AGE 26 |
An Charraig Mhor made a retuen to the county side after an absence
of almost a year when she played against Donegal in the last group
game, certainly not 100% fit she still turned in a good performance
and has improved in the semi-final, what can you say about Lynette,
she is a quality gifted footballer that can turn any game. |

Grace McCullagh
AGE |
Glennelly has just recently returned to the panel, but will step
up to the plate should the call come. |
 |
MANAGER
John McAleer.
|
Has always had a belief in what he had in this squad, even after
a poor outing in the national football league the Monaghan based
manager had the courage behind his conviction, he shoots from the
hip, yet has an uncanny understanding of what makes champions, he
reads games better than most and makes crunch decisions when they
are needed. That on occasssions has looked ominous but its always
been the right move. A former manager of Monaghan John knows
what to expect this Sunday, no opposing manager knows the opposition
quite like John will.
|
 |
COACH
Ryan “ching” Cunningham
|
For some the inclusion of “Ching” in the Tyrone backroom
team may have come as a shock, he had after all not a major proven
track record, yet he has worked, talked and drilled this current
Tyrone squad through the dark winter nights at Cookstown and Omagh
and now they are in the Ulster final, his work ethic is clear…….work
hard and you will be rewarded…. Well this squad have worked
hard Cunningham hopes now for their reward. |
