No they didn't, Maghera won the game on the pitch, Abbey appealed the result to the Ulster Colleges saying St Pats played an ineligible player, then St Pats appealed it to croke park and won the appeal, end of. Explaining why St Pats played in the Hogan semi final.

the age different is u18 to u181/2 not u-19 that some people are making out. It allows anyone within that final school year the ability to play football for the school. there were plenty at my school who couldn't play minor football for their county or club with me but still could play at colleges level.

Exactly. I was overage for my club minor team whilst still playing for the school. If it was u19 you'd have boys repeating years at school to keep playing!

Just wondering how you managed to play U.18 football for St. Joes when students leave their school at 16?

I think he said earlier that he did A Levels at St Paul's

That explains the posts about St Pauls then

Very similar comments about St Joes made by both men!

No. Burns was a College man

His articles last year would certainly show no love for St Colmans.

I fancy Maghera to sneak it by a point, I hope not though. Would love to see St. Paul's win it.

With the final being switch to accomodate Armagh/Newry schools and Higgins in charge, Maghera will be up against it on Monday!!

How has it been made to accommodate Armagh/Newry schools?

The venue was changed straight after the Bessbrook/Monaghan game, not even waiting for the Colmans/Maghera replay to be played!! It should be played in a neutral venue regardless of proximity!!
