Derry Club Football & Hurling original

[braveheart]

Too much time in the gym hi. Not enough on the field.  Rife.  Development squads.  Clubs. County.

On that note, I seen a tweet recently from a club detailing the training schedule for the Under 10's (P5/P6). The schedule covered about 4weeks.
The U-10's were training twice a week - 1 session was Strength and Conditioning (45mins) the other was training matches (90mins).
Is this normal around the clubs in Derry?

yeah,I seen that. Does Tfal have an opinion on this?

Yes I do. It's typical of the bullshit that is happening around this club at the minute.

On another topic. Something that doesn't occur on this site too often. People talking sense.

Is "this" team not your team? It's an unusual way of describing your Club

[Derry Optimist]

After  the absence of a proper defensive system against Westmeath and the non existence of a meaningful attacking formation against Longford one would expect that in this week's encounter with Offaly that Derry will get the balance right.Anyhow with the necessity to get some points it is imperative that Derry will be more attack minded next Sunday. Our best points scorers will have to be selected.Provided all players are fit I would expect the team to be along the following lines.
             Ben McKinless
             Niall Keenan
             Kevin Johnston
             Ruairi Mooney
             Liam McGoldrick
             Michael Bateson
             Carlus McWilliams
             Conor McAtamney
             Emmett  Bradley
             Ciaran Mc Faul
             James Kielt
             Enda Lynn
             Danny Tallon
             Terence O'Brien
              Niall Toner

Offaly scored 1-13 against Longford, so there may not be much in it. The two most telling results will be v Ard Mhacha and especially v Fear Manach. Our pecking order in Ulster might hit home hard.

Good luck to Sleacht Néill on Saturday.

Not sure what your OMG means. Is he missing a lot of players or has reality kicked home ?

You can also take Ciaran McFaul out of that team now.

Longford were leading 0-14 to 1-01 at half time.
Longford were leading 3-15 to 1-02 with 45mins gone.
It looks like they decided to tog in at that point.

Just reading the Irish news it's absolutely brutal what PJ McCloskey has had to endure as a result of the injury he got against screen in the hurling last year

It was against Ballinascreen, and its clear from the article that he feels it was deliberate. Is this player still playing for Ballinascreen? Who was it?

11 points in 25 minutes is impressive.

If that's true it means there is a vacancy in the panel at half forward. Hopefully Damien will see the opportunity to rectify his mistake and will call up Danny.
