One thing that was evident from the game today was that the barbers in Omagh and Enniskillen must have earnt a clean fortune over the weekend with all the fresh faded haircuts

Sadly mistaken ask anyone in the know and they'll tell you laverty Donnelly county board coaches have done all the training and coaching and dom looks after the selection side of things. Smart on his end but paying coaches for schools is a bad precedent to have started IMO

Pretty sure Magherafelt won the MacRory a couple of years ago and they had your fella Devlin from Ballinderry in training them. As far as I know he was the 1st coach employed by a school to help improve their football at all levels

So Dom is the manager. Thanks for clearing that up.

Never said he wasn't !

Coaches have been paid to go into primary schools for years.
The days of teachers taking teams solo is well and truly over.
It's getting harder and harder to get teachers to take teams for many various reasons especially at the secondary level.
Monaghan and Cavan have been sending their county development coaches into secondary schools for a number of years now and it's seen an increase in schools teams winning Ulster schools titles.
Derry have obviously being following the same model with Magherafelt and I would assume with the Derry city team that played in the MacLarnon final today. Kerry county board have also been doing it for years .
Fermanagh I assume send the county underage coaches into St Michaels as these are funded by Club Eirne and St Michaels is by far the most important school in terms of county development.
Non-issue

The Derry City is led by teachers and paid gaelic games officer from council.

Ballybay, Co Monaghan are the winners of the senior All Ireland Community College (Rice Cup) against Boherbue.
An incredible achievement for the college. The game went into ET and Ballybay from a position of 3 points down finished strongly to win by 2 points.

Well done to St Michael's into the Hogan cup final after 2-13 to 1-10 win this afternoon.

St Colmans win the Paul Mcgirr cup.

[DuffleKing]

How do the age grades work at all Ireland level for Ulster teams? Obviously Rannafast and MacRory teams are u16.5 and u18.5 respectively

[Applesisapples]

St Colmans win the Paul Mcgirr cup.

An acquaintance who was at this match said the anti Northern shit coming from the fans of their opponents was horrendous and even involved the playing of GSTQ over a speaker system. The Ref had to stop the match at one stage and ask stewards to intervene. There is no place for this nonsense in sport and especially at school sports.

[maccer]

Never happened

[Applesisapples]

Pretty sure he is telling the truth, no reason to lie.

I heard there was a lot of abuse to the college about 'paedo priests' from the crowd and some players.
