O'Keefe is top class, his deliveries from puck outs and from open play are on the money, he sets up a lot of play, instrumental and other keepers should be looking at whats required, outside of the shot stopping.
I also noticed how Ballygunner used the short stick for passing the ball, sort of palming the ball into play, it worked really well
St Martins were bad enough and can't see them progressing tbf.
Ulster meets Munster this year, not sure which team would be best equipped to give Gunner their fill, they scored 25 points yesterday, and played alright by their standards.

In 2019, Clones' capacity dropped by 7,500 to 29,000? Just like that....
Why was that?
How would a 25,000 bells & whistles stadium look now? Because they wouldn't have had a problem getting that over the line more than 10 years ago.
The GAA's own Event Management Plan which I quoted above forecasts that there would be precisely ONE sporting event per year which could be expected to fill the stadium to a 32-34k capacity, the Ulster Championship Final:

How can such minimal use ever justify £100m+, esp when there is a (VAT-free) alternative at Clones, while Antrim GAA is somehow managing at Corrigan Park, with it's much smaller capacity?
If people were honest with themselves, they'd have to admit that the elephant is a pure white one.

Having lived her for close to 40 years I can assure you that the Democrats have just as many idiotic supporters as Trump

Meanwhile:
If you want to build houses or a factory in town X, you'll be told no because they haven't invested in the sewage system.
If you're a school principal you'll get nothing only bureaucracy from civil servants in EA and DE who dream up stuff and have nothing better to do.
If you're a small business, the Windsor Framework is probably ballsing up your supply chain because there 'is' an Irish Sea Border.
Lough Neagh is fcuked and there's an 'Action Plan' which is just words.
There's a 'draft' PFG moving at a snails pace.
Still no York Street interchange.
The A5 has taken forever.
The city centre is gridlocked and they close more roads on the mouth of Christmas.
The list is endless, and the whole thing is just codology between SF and DUP - one for me, one for you, and then a bitter squabble over aul chestnuts, with the whole thing on track to collapse in due course because they literally can't make any big decisions.
