I believe the game might now be in Ballinascreen.

Only mid-February and the wheels seem to be well and truly falling off.
Derry have lost Niall Keenan and Ciaran McFaul for the remainder of the year.
Both men are going to head to the United States travelling in May and, even though they will still be at home for the remainder of the national league, it was agreed that they should quit the Oak Leaf panel with immediate effect as they won't be around for the championship.
"We have known for a period of time that both Niall and Ciaran had plans to travel in 2018," manager Damian McErlain confirmed in The Irish News. "Obviously it was disappointing to the management and players, however, we have to respect the wishes of Niall and Ciaran. They both would be a loss to any team in the country.
"Players make decisions at different stages in their lives and we have to accept that, challenging as that might be. Players travelling and taking time away is not unique to Derry football. It's part of life.
"Given the success of Slaughtneil we have had to manage the panel a particular way and after discussion with the two players we have decided this is the best decision for them, and Derry football at this stage. Niall and Ciaran are two honest, hard-working and capable footballers. They have been loyal servants to club and county for many years.
"We look forward to welcoming them back after their travels so they can be a part of what we are trying to achieve with the Derry senior football team in the coming years."
Midfielder Patrick Kearney has also quit the Derry county panel, according to The Irish News.
Good result for the lads yesterday always had that bit too much for Bellaghy.
Have no idea what any of the red cards were for and thought 2 of them were actually blacks.
Will need a better performance for next round though we should have put them away much earlier but the result is the main thing. Be interesting to hear tfals views probably the ref or Screen's dirt that won the game for us
My views Screenexile Too bad teams but championship statistics as they stand
Wolfe Tones 21 Draperstown ONE 😂😂😂😂😂. You are a disgrace of a club and tad size of your parish.
Another boar fest to endure with you and Coleraine coming up.
We were glad you had no hurling sticks with you and nobody got broken legs.
And just to say Screenexile , we will a championship before you add to your glorious one in a row 😂😂😂
100% a point , had a great view of itMcerlain was brought on at half time too, scored a point in the second halfDoes anyone know why McCloskey and McErlean didn't start ... ? and who do they play in the AI semi .... is it Dublin ?McCluskey was brought in at start of second half and was needed, McErlain not used. Injury? Did not pick up on any other reason. Dublin play Clare on Monday, winner v Doire. Cavan won today also!
Its good to get a win in what was a very tight game
So that was the second change at halftime? Didn't catch PA. What was your view of the "point" that was not given?
You heard here first. The Cassidy brothers have already got the job
Why is the Glenullin v Loup game not this weekend with the rest of the senior games? Nothing to do with certain individuals in the states.......Seriously though, surely the Loupians can't be happy at this?

Loup agreed to it apparently Glenullin lads have a wedding in America this week as far as I know and Loup had the choice to play the game before the wedding or after it!!
You have always the news Screenexile on other clubs except when your clubs thuggish behaviour is leaving players needing surgery.
