Derry vs Monaghan Senior Championship Group 4 27th May

[tbrick18]

Kicking this one off, anyone know where this is being played?
Armagh?

[seafoid]

Monaghan are 7/4.

Thought a venue would already have been announced. I'd say it will most likely be in Armagh - same as last year. Could be in Omagh but not sure if Monaghan playing their last game there has any impact on that.

Didn't realise Kearns & McAnespie are out this year - travelling. 2 quality players and a big loss. Derry by 4!

It's in Omagh.

Under 20 final is fixed for the Wednesday night before the game.
Can't see Rory being impressed with that.

Although it does impact Down as well. As their game with Donegal is on Sunday.

[Main Street]

I'm licking my palms in anticipation.

McEvoy will play for the seniors!!

Many Down U20s on the senior panel?

I take it McWilliams is with u20s?
I really hope it's Armagh and not Omagh, better pitch, better venue.

[tbrick18]

On the one hand I think Derry should win this.
Then on the other, the 2nd half from Monaghan against Tyrone was impressive.
However, I don't think Tyrone were particularly good at any point in that game apart from a few individuals.
Derry won't concede frees in the same way Tyrone did, so it should be more difficult for Monaghan to get scores.

So, I'm going to stick with Derry in a hard fought game, provided we can lock the door and stop conceding goals.
Derry by 3.

Oisin? He'd be too old, about 22/23.
Senior game is down for Omagh.

Odhran Murdock will be playing with the seniors this weekend rather than the U20s according to the Irish News
I'd assume McEvoy and maybe Murray could be held for the Derry seniors, with Doherty, Downey and O'Donnell playing for the U20s.

Why can the lads not play with the U20's on Wednesday night then rest until the week-end of the senior game?

That would sensible thing. I never understand it. You are as likely to get injured in training as a match.
