Unknown territory for Peter's but cross could do very well again
Good luck to @Throwball and @ragingbull in the ulster club sweepstake

I’d say we will be slight favourites going in but it will be far from easy. Although Tyrone teams rarely win an Ulster championship they are very hard to beat and by all accounts Coalisland fancy their chances this year. We have a good mix of youth and experience but this is a big step up.
Will be the same for St Peters too as they’re in a whole new territory. I guess for both teams it’s bonus territory so anything is good.

Bookies have Cross at 1/2, bit skinny maybe?

Bookies are actually usually pretty well fed, due to their copious earnings.

Both Cross and St Peters should win on Saturday . Both opponents were mid table in their respective leagues this year and Coalisland have a couple of players at the All Stars tomorrow evening which won't help the focus !

Plus I believe they've at least two players away. Preplanned and maybe didn't know or believe they'd get that far.
Think only one starter away.
Coalisland will give it a good rattle but like the bookies they would consider themselves underdogs. The Hampseys and McKernan are obviously good defenders but their centre half , McNally , is a major player for them. O'Hagan and Toner are unlikely to miss many frees and McNeice and Kane are useful too. Cross will have a tough run out but I would still expect them to win.

Or maybe they really don't want to play against those cross boys
Tough one to win but that’s what it’s all about. The ref had his hands full. Each sending off was deserved. 2 bookings for 3 and each of them were bookings. Coalisland had a man sent off for a straight red a pretty nasty piece of dissent and also had a player involved in a spitting incident at our physio. They also had adults deliberately throwing the ball onto the field from behind the goals. They were getting the kids to get the balls and were holding them to the next lockout. Deliberately doing it. You reap what you sow

Cross seemed to become a bit nervous or something after the two were sent off ,the ref was always going to send a cross man off and they were up to the typical tyrone cheating.

Poor spectacle of a game, both sides played liked they feared losing rather than taking the game by the scruff of the neck. I felt for ref as players from both sides were acting the maggot, thought Coalisland played very well to stay in the game, indeed take the lead while down to 13 men. Have to say I thought cross were very poor, the 2 o neills kept them in it, without them coalisLand would have won that game. Anyway, no one remembers the first round, cross march on...
