Secretary McCaughey reflects on challenging year
THE Tyrone GAA fixtures schedule ‘progressed in an effective and highly successful fashion’ in 2020 despite the challenging backdrop to the season, County Secretary Dominic McCaughey has stated in his annual report to Convention.
Applauding the efforts and leadership of the County Chairman Michael Kerr, his Fixtures’ Review Workgroup, as well as the CCC, the Trillick man said that it had implemented the vast majority of games in its redrafted programme.
With Covid causing the entire Tyrone club season to be squeezed into a narrow eleven week window between July-September, Mr McCaughey stated that the County fixtures planners had risen to the challenge.

A LEADING GAA figure has accused the British and Irish governments of sacrificing the lives of elderly and vulnerable during the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Tyrone County Board secretary Dominic McCaughey claimed many deaths could have been avoided during the early stage of the pandemic if authorities had taken a different approach.
His comments will come in an address to delegates at the GAA annual convention tonight.
“The aged and the elderly, who were highly vulnerable, should not have been sacrificed in the manner that was witnessed throughout March and April just to free up hospital beds for a need that did not arise at the time, he claimed.
