Not long until the Sigerson is up and going after Christmas.
In 2020, the Sigerson will now be a straight knockout competition. It will also be contested over an 18-day period, with the Round of 16 starting on January 11 & 12 and the quarterfinals taking place the following weekend. The semifinals will provisionally then be held on January 22 and the final on January 29.

Jordanstown's normally a who's who of inter county players, not too many on that team

Yes not too many high profile names there and apart from Ruane who is a starter for Mayo seniors that NUIG team is made up of players that hope to become established inter county players.
I went over to the game tonight. Ruane and Darcy were best for NUIG. Jordanstown were very defensive so the forwards couldn't get any space to work in.
It would make sense to play Sigerson next week and have it wrapped up in December. Teams would be sharp after playing in the League. Sticking it in Janurary doesn't improve anything for fixtures . National League and then U20s in February.

Wouldn't like to be waiting on ambulance in Dublin!
Watching it too
Cold night to be waiting around
Absolutely ridiculous situation in this game not to have basic medical assistance available, so much for player welfare. Serious questions for the Sigerson organisers.
Ending it there it seems. UUJ not be happy with that
I'm not sure what you can do though, different when a club organises tournaments like the Dublin 7's tournaments at St judes and Kilmacud, there's always medical teams there. This is a one off game as such

Embarrassing to leave a lad in pain waiting like that. Open to correction but I'm not sure how you can award NUIG the game.

Maybe so but you can't make a decision to blow a game early when there's only a kick of a ball in it. What a farce.
The Sigerson isn't knockout this year, so won't have major consequences.
UUJ have a bye in the next round.
Only need to win one game to make the quarter finals, which is the same as NUIG
Serious result for MTU Kerry (formerly IT Tralee) to beat UCD today by 5 in Tralee. Tony Brosnan and Jack Savage impressive up front apparently. The fact that both of them were asked to travel to Templetuohy for a meaningless trouncing of Tipp in McGrath cup this evening - and both came on - is actually disgraceful really and utterly pointless.
MTU Cork (CIT) beat UCC for the first time ever in Sigerson. Was at it and it was a decent quality game, tough and played in freezing fog. The 2 MTU's now meet in the winners round next Tuesday in Cork. UCC v UCD in losers round could be a humdinger. UCC missing a few big players tonight might shade it if they can get some of those lads back on the field.

That was a complete and utter shambles! Not even a stretcher available to remove him from the pitch FFS!!
NUIG really stepped it up in the second half with the introduction of a number of very influential subs, especially Sean Kelly. He scored a great goal in what has been a very good week for him personally with him being appointed the Galway captain for the coming year.

A complete farce indeed. I've never heard of a game being blown up early due to an injury and the result standing!
I've heard of game abandoned and replayed or a draw given but awarding a game to the team on the highest score. What rule states that as a solution?
As to the fact that the poor lad lay on the pitch for 40mins. What ground doesnt have a stretcher? They had a set of a quarter of a million euro lights, but no stretcher? The organisers should be in the dock on this.
UUJ showed a spirit of sportsmanship conceding the game.

At the last waterbreak - both got 15 mins each having already played a match earlier that day & Kerry were up by about 15 points. Don't really see the sense in it myself. They didn't do the same with David Clifford anyway
and for years we had to listen to paddy tally crying about respect for sigerson and college players !!

Maxi Curran, who was involved in the county seniors under McGuinness and had the county U21s and ladies team as well at different times, has the LYIT gaelic team this year.
Result from this afternoons tie in Belfast. St Mary's 0-10 Maynooth 2-6. Late goal won it and St Mary's only managed 1 point in the 2nd half.

I think the fact that the rules on eligibility were tightened up a good bit has had a serious affect in terms of the makeup of Sigerson and Fitzgibbon teams compared to a few years back.
In previous years that were big intercounty names doing 3rd and 4th diplomas.
There was talk of lads signing up to do courses but not attending any lectures/doing any exams and only being seen on campus for training and games.
I think this has pretty much been stamped out now based on looking at the various team sheets and squads and the age profiles.
I doubt there is much in the way of shenanigans/horse-trading in terms of sponsorships/bursaries going on this year.
In terms of the UU game, I would describe UU as very wasteful given how much of the ball they had.
2-11 was a poor return for the amount of ball they had, especially given how poor the MTU Cork defence were.
MTU Cork were absolutely awful - the fact that 6 of the MTU Cork team lined out for Cork during the McGrath Cup is absolutely shocking in terms of where Cork football is at.
I could definitely see the wheels coming off for UU when they come up against a better defense and don't have 75% plus in terms of possession.

Last night was the first games since water breaks was scrapped and they should have been scrapped much sooner. Can start next on getting rid of the forward mark.
Any of the games being streamed?

Always thought it should contain the heap as they all fall under the same college, so I'd assume so. But I've ref'd the games with UUJ and Coleraine before in the leagues. I see from that page above it has UU and not UUJ

Just changed name i believe to UU as they are now not solely at Jordanstown, so moved away from using UUJ.
MTU Kerry the first team into the semi finals with impressive 4-15 to 0-7 win over Maynooth.
In tonights other game NUIG 2-8 Letterkenny IT 1-8. A Tomo Culhane goal five minutes before the end proved key and won with 14 men for last 20 minutes

Very worrying injury incurred by Tommy Conroy in first half of NUIG match. Could be of longer-term nature.
Didn't see what happened or the extent of the injury but I have noticed the number of players double-jobbing as it were, is very high. I hope they are all being managed well between Uni and County but it can't help to be involved with both. Sigerson needs to be played before the National League starts

You're looking in the wrong place.
Let's presume that Conroe has a scholarship of some description with his college. If so, then he's pretty much bound in writing to representing his college in their elite competition. It's their time of year when they "own" him.
So if you want to blame someone, don't go after faceless bureaucrats.
Blame 1. Tommy Conroy for splitting his time like this, and 2. James Horan for demanding him to split his time like this.
If ever any sporting activity should be pure amateur fun it's Third level football/hurling.
But of course it's long turned into semi pro (but players unpaid) ultra serious prestige stuff and that genie won't be going back.
Playing it as NFL/NHL gets up and running is crazy stuff altogether.
Take a lad like Sean Kelly or Matthew Tierney.
4 games in 9 days between Sigerson and NFL from last Sunday to next Monday inclusive.

The wife has a nephew on an u20 inter county development squad. He has Sigerson, club commitments too. Training / Games at moment is 5 to 6 times a week, he also does weights in his parents garage on the free nights. He had to give up his part time job, which was part funding his third level education. The man never stops. I worry about all this, can't see how players can do this medium to long term. He has no social outlet a part from his football & limited enough time in college.

Listen to Paudi Hampsey on todays BBC Social GAA Podcast. He openly says he loses out on income to play for Tyrone. He's a self employed personal trainer in his gym. He also mentions he didn't goto a yoga session on Monday after Monaghan game, presumably because he didn't want to miss another evenings work. It's happening all over the country.
I was on a Sigerson panel for a couple of years. A while ago now. It was taken seriously , but certainly nothing crazy. I wasn't on a county panel , unlike approx 2/3 of our college panel. Their county managers treated them like pieces of meat. They just didn't seem to me like they enjoyed being inter-county players. I am generalising , as there were exceptions.
I'm assuming Armagh let Turbitt tear away with Queens, no sign of him v Dubs. One other Armagh lad playing with QUB as well - not sure if he's on Armagh panel, Hughes?

Would rather presume there is no such written binding agreement associated with a scholarship, happy to be proved wrong. Can think of the case of a Dublin player who prioritised Dublins O'Bryne Cup over Sigerson as he didn't want to miss his opportunity to nail a spot on the Dubs 15, as far as I recall there was no recourse from the college
I'd agree Conroy and Horan need to share a portion of the responsibility here on the player welfare front but I'd also be very critical of Croke and GPA for standing by the status quo

You are correct to presume this. And in Conroy's case (if he is indeed on a scholarship), the NUIG Sports Scholarship is €1,500 for the year. Hardly a fortune.
First up if a lad is getting a significant portion of his college fees wiped out just to play ball in a handful of matches a year, he'd be stark raving mad to put that in jeopardy. Binding contract or not.
——
But in terms of calendars, where do you draw the line?
I mean if a lad is talented and lucky enough to be part of successful club, county and sigerson teams, then if he won't prioritise those commitments, then short of playing competitions over a two year run, player welfare can't help him. There's just not enough weeks in the year. There's just not.
And if same lad is equally talented and demand in hurling, wtf is Croke Park really meant to do?

He has been playing for Queens. None of the others you mentioned have been from what I can see
UL into the semi final with a 2-12 to 0-13 win over Queens. 2-3 for David Clifford. Conor Turbitt with 9 of Queens scores.
Dublin, Limerick, Kerry and Galway colleges in the last 4.
Cruciate for Conroy. Real shame, outstanding player
The two semi finals (6pm and 730pm throw ins) live on YouTube this evening

Ref played for a draw there. Although Tierney should have been doing better with that Galway free
If NUIG lose this in extra they will be kicking themselves for not closing out that game when leading 0-11 to 0-6 against a 14 man MTU Kerry. Very little stoppages not sure where officials got the 6 plus minutes of injury time?
Anyone watching the NUIG match? Shocking ref. I don't think I've ever seen a ref so blatantly just keep playing until one team equalised, must've been 6 minutes played without any notable stoppages during the match. And not to mind the frees, at least three frees given in extra time for a player who just put the head down, overcarried, barged into a player, and fell over.

Ref played for a draw there. Although Tierney should have been doing better with that Galway free
Probably should've done better alright, I thought he'd put it dead one way or another, but he surely thought it was the last kick of the game, like any other sane person watching it
Referee's watch must be running slow
Half time in extra time. NUIG 0-15 MTUK 0-12
It's a good thing that MTU scored that free the ref engineered for them at the end of the first of ET or he would've had to play another ten minutes added time. Kerry boys being Kerry boys starting a scrap at the end too.
I'm not sure I've seen many worse refereeing performances than this ever. Inexplicable free against the keeper and then he had barely gotten the ball on tee and thrown up for time wasting
Very embarrassing for the 3 County men there
FT after extra time. NUIG win 0-18 MTUK 0-15. Three red cards for the Kerry students in injury time of extra time.
Four red cards for MTU, the Kerry players don't play any different for college than they do for county
Kerry lads lost the head there. Referee was keeping them in the game.
In the second semi final at half time UL 0-7 DCU 0-6
FT UL 0-14 DCU 0-11. Final next Wednesday.
Shocking refereeing in ordinary time, the last free to bring it to ET was surely just a dive? Amusing to hear the Kerry fans giving out to the ref about the red cards when the only reason they were still in the game was his performance. Shouting about "common sense" and Brosnan after elbowing Gill in the head, bizarre stuff.
Only caught extra time, who was the ref? Some of the frees Kerry got during ET were a joke, read afterwards they only scored 3 points from play in over 90 mins of football, think he played well over 3 minutes if injury time in the first half of extra time alone.

players need to take responsibility and make better choices
Lots of talk about sigerson, but these lads don't need to be playing Allianz league every week while sigerson is on imo
Club and County teams are for playing with, College teams are only a side issue to the main purpose of those Institutions.
Any ex footballer will you tell you how important sigerson is to a developing young player both in terms of ability and social development. Nobody should be deprived of that. Allianz league is for trying things out, nobody remembers Allianz league when all Ireland qf time rolls around.

Honestly, cop on.
UL 0-3 NUIG 0-3 at half time. Awful night for football
15 mins to play UL 0-3 NUIG 0-9. Serious impact off the bench from Roscommon forward Cathal Heneghan
Goal for UL from a penalty totally against the run of play 1-3 to 0-9.

Should that have been a penalty?
I thought it was only a footblock if the opposing player blocked the ball while attacking player was in the process of kicking the ball.
The block didn't happen until after it was kicked by UL player

His shooting has been awful, serious wides although it really is an awful night for football.
Not his best night looking at it.
Didn't see it closely enough tubberman.
It's a foot block. See that lad Walsh come on. He was a very good Kerry minor who seemed to have disappeared. Was he in America or Australia or the like? Football poor, though terrible night. Limerick don't seem to be a overly strong team, surprised they made it to a final.
That's the first time that I've seen a defensive mark being claimed!

Stage was set was meant to be his final tonight however for whatever reason he fired blanks. Was a bit like Brazilian Ronaldo in the World cup final in 1998.

He's trending on Twitter at the minute and even after that match all you'll find is effusive praise. It's mental.
Been alright if they had an actual forward foreby him, misses 3/4 he normally get,

I would say this is true. Big pressure and spotlight for one so young.
Nuig were just much better. Some handy footballers there.
NUIG had a strong panel even without Tommy Conroy, Sean Mulkerrin and Jamie Brennan. Brennan missed the whole Sigerson
Stefan Okunbar missing for Ul.
A terrible night for football, wouldn't be too hard on Clifford. He was the difference against Dcu in semi

i was at a different match last night and you would not Put a cat out in it.
Last nights performance cout for nothing other than a great win for NUIG nut id read nothing into It .
Delighted for Heneghan . Knoe hid fsther years ago he played a bit for the rossies
Is dad James Heneghan?
That scoreline didn't do NUIG justice, worthy winners. Don't think Murray, Mulcahy, Burke or Eoghan Kelly who were 4 of the starting back 6 are on the Galway panel?
What age is Heneghan? Can't recall him playing against Galway u20's in recent year unless he was injured, he changed the game and deserved his MOM.

It isn't healthy, for him or the press. God help him when he hits a long poor run of form.

He was u20 in 2019 but Cunningham brought him on as a sub in the Senior game v Leitrim making him ineligible for the 20s.
Injuries (incl Cruciate I think) put him out of action after that. Started the 2 NFL and 2 FBD games this year.

Cathal alongside Tommy Conroy was the stand out forward on the NUIG freshers winning team two years ago they scored 2-7 between them in the final.
Cathal Heneghan doesn't seem to have the best luck with injuries as he went off injured after 20 minutes in the Intermediate final in Croke Park against Moy Tír Na nÓg in 2018. His younger brother Darragh a starter for Roscommon U20s who reached the All-Ireland final was unable to play for NUIG due to injury.
Well done to NUIG the better side throughout and i don't think the three margin was a fair reflection to how that game played out. Once Clifford was bottled up UL had no one else to step up.
Freshers final was live on YouTube tonight.
DCU 6-9 UCC 2-13 the result. Three 2nd half goals in a matter of minutes was key.

Other than Kildare's Shea Ryan and Powter from Cork City it's a Sligo to Kerry west coast selection (Heneghan close enough).

Yeah right enjoyable watch - was a bit mad the way the lads in commentary wrote off Queens so much especially when the gap was so narrow for so much of the game.
Thought it was poor standard myself. Sigerson isn't what it once was.

Thought it was poor enough standard as well. Both teams cancelled each other out.
Actually don't think there were that many students at the match supporting either team. Was mostly family members or ex students.

The commentary was terrible. They seemed to miss really obvious stuff, didnt know the players, kept talking about Sigerson 30 years ago and no real insight on what was happening. Awful stuff.
At least he told us Audi Hamilton was present.A Dungannon legend.Sean o Neill the Down legend was also present even though he hadnt seen him.
Here the commentary was a bit of craic on free to air Youtube.....sure great we coulemall watch it
Game was a good watch up to the last kick but it t isnt QUB v UUJ of the 2000s where every player is a household name/all ireland winner
Darragh Canavan missed a right few and passed off a few chances but he was involved in a lot, there's a buzz when he gets on the ball, they don't all go over
The commentary was the best but it was a nice treat to be sitting in front of the fire on a Tuesday in January watching a Sigerson cup match live. Hopefully Jerome keeps streaming the games.
Agree with the standard, nowhere near where it used to be. UU team would look far stronger if Canavan & Loughlin were named from the start and Connor Glass/Ethan Doc not available at the minute due to Glen's All Ireland Club run.
Does anyone have the full draw for the next round?
It lacked the intensity that I remember from my days. When I went and there were no stands there was basically a baying mob along the sideline to add to the pressure. (Usually from one side but I'm biased ;D).
It still wasn't a bad game. I didn't think UU played with much urgency when they were down. I always felt UU had better players than Queens (it's rare I remember that to not have been the case) over all the years I've known but Queens have always been better than the sum of their parts for whatever reason. UU should have way more sigersons over the years than they have.

Why is this the case? Are they still county players just that Ulster is in a relative lull or are there less county players in college? Or college students no longer making county?
A number of counties in Ulster don't allow established players to play Sigerson any more.

I think Glass is around 25 now, done a few years in Oz so went to uni a bit later than most. Yeah he does own a coffee shop in Maghera.

No extra subs getting on?
Defenders not worth a damn one on one these days!
Sigerson should have been kept as knock out.
Mad match with little in the way of defending going on. UCD 7-8 UU 3-10
Other game gone to extra time.
UUJ's output the last few years has been seriously underwhelming given the amount of inter county players that tog out every year. Same management throughout might I add.
Conceding 7 goals at the 35 minute mark at home is bizzare

Especially when UU completely owned the ball early on.
The UU defending was painful to watch.
At 1 time in the early to mid 90's UUJ had 32 County players avaliable in one year and still couldnt win.

Pretending to be a University and now looks like they're pretending to be a football team.

he is from Monaghan..Played with DCU before. Now at UCD.
UCC 0-19 Queens 3-10 AET. UCC won on penalties.
Has the Sigerson lost its MOJO?
The northern teams aren't as good so maybe up here but that is reflected in the fact that northern teams are rarely beating the bigger teams these days anyway.

UCC probably the better team but St Mary's doing what they do best
Penalties
But frantic at the end, last couple of frees for both teams dubious

Last free for UCC was stupidity from st marys player running into a hop ball
Thought UCC got the majority of the close decisions in ET and it was just too far for St Mary's but a very entertaining game

Between the 2 men running in on a hop ball and the fella grabbing the arm, they gave the ref every chance to give a free against them.
Touch of the Martinez from the UCC goalkeeper for the penalties. Done the trick though.
Poor enough quality game from what I saw of the match.

The 45 that St Mary's got to go a point up didn't even look close to a 45, the keeper looked to be well ahead of the endline keeping the ball in
How poor were those penalties

Agreed, that umpire had a mare. He gave a point for a clear wide but luckily the linesman intervened.

He was standing right beside the keeper when he kept it in too, no excuses for that

Good use of the official, must linesmen will be instructed to line up a free or 45, the ref must be in a certain position which doesn't help when 45's are taken (opposite side to 45 on the 14)
Have overruled and been overruled at times so well done on getting the right call, the Kerry ones were calling for that on Sunday, but no doubt the linesman's eyes were a a bit distracted possibly be the abuse on the sideline, I mean the wind and rain

I thought the keeper touched it on the ground trying to keep it in. Also couldn't see from my angle how close he was to the line. I thought the second black card was simply wrong and whilst the first was correct the ref hadn't black carded for that offence all night. On the free before the equalising free he seemed to move the free up a huge distance. Then he booked the St Mary's player but didn't even speak to the retailator. Then he and the linesman indicated the free should go well back. It went back about a foot and nothing was said. As I say I thought UCC got more of the close decisions in ET but it was a pretty exciting contest.
Still despise penalties though and think some alternative method should be found. Maybe like European rugby penalties for example.
As I said

unlucky to st marys, if they had a few of those tyrone u20s who stayed on at holy trinity to win a macrory they might have won it in normal time.

UL are a very well balanced team. Eoghan McLaughlin having a great game
That goal was something else!!
Ciaran Downes was excellent for Ul aswell. Him and Emmet Cleary both of Clare in the Ul forwards.

Emmett McMahon.6 Clare lads featured tonight. Aaron Griffin and Ikem Ugwueru also in the forwards. Daniel Walsh wing back. Brian McNamara came off the bench.
Emmet McMahon is right. A good player. Clare have some tidy forwards. Eoin Cleary played for UL a few years ago

Emmett should be a key player for Clare in coming years. Not sure if Eoin in UL. He in guards now. His twin brother Conor definitely went to UL.
I see Oisin Gallen knocked over a few points for DCU.
By some miracle, will he fit to line out for Donegal this spring?
Poor lad has had a nightmare few years with injuries and has never had the chance to establish himself at senior level after a very promising initial season in 2019.

Eoin was in LIT , but left after first year to join AGS. Conor won Fitzgibbon with UL, when doing masters. Hurled with NUIG for undergrad.

So the Sigerson cup final is between two Munster colleges and the final will be in Munster (Waterford)

He'd be about 22.

1-12 to 0-15 extra time to be played. Plenty of twists and turns in that match. Looked like UCC had in won after 37 minutes when 5 points in front and again late on but UL never gave up and grabbed the draw deep into injury time.
UCC should win this. Have the better forwards. UCC bit dodgy on the restarts.

Yeah the UCC restarts were really bad there for the stretch that allowed UL back into it.
Decent game in tricky conditions.
UL running on empty after getting themselves twice back into the game in normal time.
FT UCC 1-16 UL 0-16. Congrats to UCC thats yet another Sigerson cup and trophy won by Billy Morgan in his long management career.
Well done to UCC. Tough conditions out there.
Billy Morgan, he's like the highlander, goes on forever.
