Derry Club Football & Hurling original

Minor final a brutal watch.

Magherafelt brought on a young sub with a bit of flair who wanted to attack and it won them the game.

Decent football being coached out of young lads now. Very few forward passes with foot.

Any notable players on either side who could break into senior next year? Magherafelt seem to have a great conveyer belt at the moment and god knows lavey could do with a lift

I'm sure sargent will play senior next year. Maybe Higgins or Spiers. Mulholland for lavey looks a decent player too. But these lads will all be minor next year with the change back to u18.

Sargent is still under 17 next year so wont be able to play senior

Very sorry to hear about the death of Liam Peoples, Claudy.  A great GAA man, played goals for Derry in All Ireland Minor football final of 1981 (I think, or 1980?).  Another member of that team who has died too young.

RIP Liam.

God the new Jersey is awful, do they not give it at least 3 years before changing anymore?

An absolute shocker. Not sure who thought that was a good idea. Bad enough to appoint Mickey Harte, but that jersey is far harder to justify.

I like the jersey.
A very muted launch / intro of St Mickey in the Derry gear

That new jersey is f**king rotten, why do they have to try so hard. Just keep it simple and clean

[Wildweasel74]

Hell I brought home and away new ones last year!!

[RedHand88]

Worse thing to happen to Derry football since they appointed a Tyrone to manage him.
Looks like a Cork jersey

I'm still wearing the old white one to games. I've always much preferred the white with red band. Having said that many youngsters will want the latest jersey and that's where it's a complete shame they change so often.

Lenny I have to agree, white and red are our colours. You look at the Derry jersey from the 90's that is our jersey. The back of this jersey you would swear its the away Tyrone jersey. I actually don't mind the front, apart from the fact its predominately red instead of white.

We wore red with white band in 1958 AI final though!

They haven't even posted it on their own twitter yet, could they be trying to change it giving the backlash? has this ever happened before?

I always thought we were white and red before me Oul boy told me to look at the flag of Derry.

It was red next to the pole and then white, which he says that Derrys colour is red first.
