Derry Club Football & Hurling original

I was on the 24/7 website which covers the live games. The Slaughtneil and glen game is already up there to purchase, but no sign of the Steelstown and Greenlough game. Do we know if this is getting televised live?

Hope so Tickle. Would Ballymaguigan have the infrastructure to broadcast? No idea, though  they could have 6G for all I know

Game is definetly on. Sweet. I emailed crowd and they are putting up replay 5 minutes after game is finished too.

Looking at Mal's twitter post from last night makes interesting reading for the scoring threat of the two teams

Slaughtneil's Top 4 scorers – 2021 Championship

Shane McGuigan: 3-32 (1-0p, 0-4f, 0-2 '45) – 41pts
Christopher Bradley: 0-29 (0-8f, 0-2 '45) – 29pts
Meehaul McGrath: 2-1 – 7pts
Sean Cassidy: 1-2 – 5pts

Then they have a further 4 players who have a total of 3pts. There is a massive drop off after Shane and Sammy.  Shutting those two down and the supply of ball into them (easier said than done) will be vital to Glen's gameplan.  In previous years, Cassidy and O'Doherty and others would have done some of the heavy lifting regarding scoring but that hasn't happened so far this year. They'll need to get scores from elsewhere to win this game.

Glen's Top 5 scorers -2021 Championship
Paul Gunning: 1-24 (0-10f, 0-1m) – 27pts
Danny Tallon: 2-16 (0-9f, 0-2m) – 22pts
Emmett Bradley: 1-10 (0-3f) – 13pts
Jack Doherty: 1-8 – 11pts
Ethan Doherty: 1-8 – 11pts

Glen don't have that out and out dangerman that scares defenders, but they have a lot of players chipping in with scores from all over the pitch. Not included, in the above list, is the likes of McFaul (7pts) McGuckian (1-6) Mulholland (1-3). The combination of their kicking game into the forwards, who provide easier scores for the runners from half back/midfield. Slaughtneil will have to track their runners better than any other side has done so far in the Championship. And they'll have to limit them the way Bellaghy did in the first group game. But Glen haven't really hit a good defence like Slaughtneil's in the Championship so far.

PP have Glen at 4/7 and Slaughtneil at 15/8

It's 10 years since Glen won the first of their 4 in a row Ulster minor titles isn't it?
Are there many players from that first minor team still playing?

Glen team from the first final against Armagh Harps;

C McCloy; O Hegarty, R McDonnell, T Convery; B O'Kane, C Carville, C Mulholland; R Dougan, E Bradley (1-2, 1f); M Warnock (2-2), S O'Hara (0-1), C McCabe; D Tallon (1-0), C Convery (0-3, 1f), C McFaul (0-4, 3f). Subs: P Gunning for McCabe (36), G Tallon for T Convery (49), O Glass for McCabe (52), T McKenna for D Tallon (54), K McErlean for Warnock (55).

Conor Carville, Michael Warnock, Ryan Dougan, Emmett Bradley, Danny Tallon, Conor Convery, Ciaran McFaul and Paul Gunning all likely to start. Cathal Mulholland, Stephen O'Hara and Cahir McCabe likely to come it at some stage. Oisin Hegerty still plays but has been hampered by injury.

That's a good representation from a minor team 10 years ago.

What did Marty Kane do?

Didn't see the incident but heard he was trying to hit a free and his opponent wouldn't stand aside so the ball was kicked at him. May be more to it as a red for that would seem excessive...

[Hoof Hearted]

Congrats to Steelstown
First senior title, been there or thereabouts but takes great mental strength to finally get over the line
Could be a weekend of firsts, over to you Glen.

Check his twitter account. He's got the video up and it doesn't help his case any further. Kicked the ball at his opponents balls.

Think he kicks it at Ciaran Mullan ane don't think he'd be the diving sort.

Haven't even watched it yet!

Great win for Steelstown, know so many of those lads well.

Glen beat Slaughtneil for first title. Probably should had one 2yrs ago. Be interesting to see how their rookie status will affect them in the Ulster Championship as it affected Magherafelt and Coleraine previous. St Eunans look strong but then again. So has Glen all year.
