Divine intervention.
We want to be at the next Tyrone County Board meeting when this controversial transfer form comes before the secretary.
It seems that, while on a trip to Italy and Rome recently, parish priest of Eglish, Fr Michael Toner, decided to stop into the Vatican.
While there, he took the opportunity to present Pope Francis with a number 14 club jersey.

We think the CCCC have to get involved as surely invoking help from God is against some kind of GAA rule.
If the club don’t win the championship or at least make county semi finals after this we’ll be very, very disappointed.
The presentation of the jersey carries on what is now becoming a firm tradition. Earlier this year, Pope Francis met some members of a local club near to his Vatican homestead and received a size five O’Neills.
