Ulster JFC/IFC 2022

[Harold Disgracey]

Full time Letterkenny 1-13 1-12 Derrynoose. Letterkenny aided by a strong breeze and an incompetent referee.

It's amazing Letterkenny are a Junior team, big enough place.

Would very much be the second team in the town when you consider the bigger team in the town is St Eunans

Some difference in quality between some of these teams at this level. Here's hoping Stewartstown (if they win Ulster) get a chance to test themselves against a Kerry Division 1 side

Stewartstown will walk that Junior Ulster Championship. The game was over after 10 minutes yesterday.

Letterkenny Gaels will be hard to overcome.

Not going by what I saw today!

Yeah, much too strong for Junior grade in fairness.  Good chance of winning the whole thing.

Haven't watched them in years, but how big a loss are Shea Burke and Shea O'Neill? Is Burke their main man or is it still Devlin?

The 2 Shea's are out long term and are big losses but Mannies and Dan Lowe are still the 2 main men up front. Dylan McElhatton was suspended for the Tyrone semi-final and Final and he came in for Shea Burke yesterday while Theo Lowe came in for Shea O'Neill so we have a bit of strength in depth but at same time wouldn't like to be losing any more players to injury.

Are Newtownbutler not usually a Division 1 side?

Are Newtownbutler not usually a Division 1 side?

No .
Only the 2 divisions in the league in Fermanagh and Newtown were bottom half division 2 .
Have been division 2 for quite a few years .
Were relegated last year from intermediate ( I think ).

Would have a few old heads playing ( Ryan Carson , James Connolly ) but also alot of young lads who would have been part of their Fermanagh minor wining teams

[Fear Bun Na Sceilpe]

All i know about Fermanagh is that they punch away above. Some pups. Lisbellaw in the hurling put most of us to shame

[FermGael]

Lisnaskea were indeed relegated to Junior.

[clarshack]

Rewatched the match back and I thought Pete McGrath junior was good on the commentary. Is he the main guy on Down TV?

[Wildweasel74]

Stewartstown May fancy themselves strong at this level but Fossa look likely to come out of Kerry and Munster, we see if they can cut it then if they met them.

Elsewhere, the Letterkenny team mentioned a few posts ago is Letterkenny Gaels, a smaller & more recently established (1996) club in the town compared to the more established St. Eunan's club. They've an ex-Fintona player on their panel whom I'm sure will be on the phone to a few ex-teammates soon to ask about Stewartstown, if he hasn't already!

We actually played Letterkenny Gaels back in February in the Ulster Junior league, so they will already know a bit about us!
