Derry Club Football & Hurling original

[Waataboutyee]

Everyone from Bellaghy with a social media account boasting about hosting a bloody colleges match. What will they be like if they ever win another championship?  A wee  bit embarrassing

We put on a show young man. We were the talk of Ulster last night on how to stage big games.
Some club. The next instalment of championships are about to roll.
Bring the county games to Bellaghy

LOL. This time last year tfal was boasting about the glorious youth coming through in Bellaghy and after the embarrassment of the loss to Draperstown in the minor final all they can celebrate is a big crowd at a schools game. How the mighty have fallen LOL

Bravefart, that was a hard one to take. We were the best team in the county by a country mile and screen nearly won Ulster.
But it does back up my argument about the '93 managers. Damian Cassidy and Danny Quinn were the managers

TFAL please never leave this board. You are priceless

Lavey still had the best club team to come out of Derry, though i admire this Slaughtneil team, with lady luck, a rash decision leading to a sending off, and maybe another scoring forward, things could have been so much different for this Slaughtneil team. they are not done yet but will have to look at extra scoring power for the forthcoming year if they going to give the Derry,Ulster and possible all-ireland serious another run. At the minute they remind me of  a great Clan na gael team from Roscommon with Tony Mcmanus in the late 80`s who were defeated in 4 finals in a row and lost 5 in 8 years.

Not sure about that assessment!  Clann na nGael is the club McManus played for.  3 Derry clubs have won more Ulster football titles than Lavey.  Lavey tried hard to win Ulster hurling title but never succeeded.  You could even argue that the biggest club achievement was Ballerin winning Ulster or the Loup.

Very good point about Ballerin and that it could argued was the best due to its resources, but in truth Ballerin was a gather up from different clubs along with Ballerin players, still it a hell of a team. Lavey were a good team also, won a couple of Ulster's and the All Ireland The Bellaghy team that won it in 71 was class, big with class forwards, as was the Ballinderry team in 2001,  pure class. The Bellaghy team of 95-98 was class also and were very unfortunate to met what is regarded as the one of best club teams ever. A pointless debate, for a small county we have produced some brilliant club teams.

That was a good weekend for Football and Hurling in Derry.

Derry manager Damian McErlain plans to see out the remainder of their Allianz FL Division 3 campaign minus the services of the Slaughtneil contingent.

Nemo Rangers brought the curtain down on Slaughtneil's All-Ireland Club SFC adventure last Saturday but the Oak Leaf boss is prepared to let vice-captain Brendan Rogers and his five club-mates sit out the final three rounds of the league in a bid to have them fresh for the championship.

"We can't rush them back," he told The Belfast Telegraph.

"We want them coming back and being an addition for us. If you are forcing men back who are just after a long season like that - in fact, they are not after one long season, they are after two long seasons - and two years in a row of that, mentally and physically, there is going to be a toll on them.

"They need to normalise their lives a bit, for a few weeks anyway and see where that takes them. For us, it is more about them."

Rogers is the vice captian and he ain't going to play in three vital games to avoid Division Four, are we having a laugh.

It's a complete joke, they've played one football match in 3 months. You could see signs of rustiness v nemo. I know they'd hurling also but it would've been good to get them in for the last 3games of the league. They're not going to play in the league at all which means relegation is a distinct possibility. It also means they'll not get much chance to get bedded into the new squad before the championship. April is a month for club action so our championship preparations are going to be very rushed. This year is just a complete write off.

Why where they included in the panel if they were not going to be used? Greatly reduced the possible selection of more players ( sorry i fix that, more Under 20)  We have a fairly poor U-20 team if half them are on the senior panel! I rather they play out their age group first then jump to senior panel after 20! Not everybody a sean o shea or Clifford ready to jump into senior football!!
