The Championship is alive.
Some might say that the provincial championships are dead, that they've lost their lustre and that the magic is gone, but it certainly didn't feel that way in Healy Park, Omagh, on Sunday afternoon.
By half five in the evening, the place was alive.
This was Tyrone vs Monaghan, it was championship football at its barnstorming, breath-taking best and, by the end of it, the hair was standing on the back of every neck in the ground, and on every neck looking on.

We had former Tyrone footballer Kyle Coney on The GAA Hour this Monday, to look back on what was a disappointing loss for the county. They may have played well, and they may have looked like likely winners for the most part but in the end, they were stunned.
Stunned to bits by a tremendous goal from Ryan O'Toole.
We spoke about Monaghan's magical win, Derry's impressive display against Fermanagh as well as some hurling talk, which you can listen to on
this week's GAA Hour right here.
Some of the main points throughout the show include the general confusion surrounding Mattie Donnelly's early substitution. A few eyebrows are raised by Rory Gallagher's passionate celebrations against his own county while Kyle Coney gives us an insight as to how Fermanagh could have improved by adopting a 'smart-man-to-man' approach.
