I think it would be only right to recognise that, the ladies of the Bellaghy Contingent of the Derry all ireland winning Camogie team, of saturday,  were out today at a Cul Camp coaching the future players of Bellaghy. A mere 2 days after their triumph.
Now that is impressive commitment  to their chosen sport. True Gaels.

Absolutely.  True GAA spirit.  Pass it on.

Derry couldn't run a hurling season without the donegal (and Tyrone, Armagh and Antrim) men

What happened?

Full back wrestles with full forward half a dozen times. Both players get booked.

Ref didn't know what to do so had to ask eamon hasson.

Not true. Lavey full back and Lynches full forward were at it all through the match and were warned about their behaviour. 

The referee was aware of this and booked the pair after they were wrestling in the square in the second half.

Its very easy to criticise the referee in the heat of what was a full on hurling championship battle with no quarter asked and none given and probably the best hurling championship match in Derry for a few years.

Why would the Lynchs full forward be wrestling with the full back when the balls coming in? Full back was at it all game and neither the umpires or any of the linesmen who seen it had the balls to intervene. If you take a look at the photos from the game you will see plenty of what happened.

Surprising result in the other game with Coleraine beating Banagher. It will sure be an interesting last round of fixtures, does it go to score difference or head to head if two teams are level on points?

Are you saying the Lynches full forward wasn't at it as well ?

The facts are this - the Lavey full back AND the Lynches full forward were at it all throughout the match. They were warned by the umpires to cut it out. The referee was later notified about the off the ball antics and if the referees, linesmen and umpires were miked up, chances are the 2 players would probably have been issued a yellow card in the first half followed by a second yellow / red in the second half.

I've no need to rely on photos of the match to see what happened as I seen what was going on with my own 2 eyes.

The fact that only one Derry match official was on duty speaks volumes. Obviously due to a shortage of referees.

Why would the full forward initiate any wrestling? He's a much faster player. I've seen both of them play both codes multiple times.

Full back should not have lasted the 60 minutes. Weak officials.

It is 100% true that the ref went to Eamon Hasson after speaking with his two umpires. He took the easy option of booking both players.

Brendan McTaggart photography on Facebook. 3 examples of the holding. Kevin lynches also scored a free in first half due to similar. FF missed the ball, FB held onto him so he couldn't reach rebound.

You may watch a lot closer next time Antrim Coaster.

The Lynches full forward was at it as much as the Lavey full back. Fact.

On what basis would you have sent off the Lavey full back if you state that he should not have lasted the 60 minutes and not the given the Lynches full forward the line ?

There was nothing to suggest a straight red for either player.

As previously mentioned, if the officials were miked up the Lavey full back and the Lynches full forward would have probably been booked in the first half followed by a second yellow in the second.

Would you rather the referee not consult his officials and make an incorrect call - hardly weak officiating if the referee took soundings from his officials.

You state weak officials – have you ever thought of taking up the whistle yourself if you genuinely feel you could make a positive contribution to refereeing GAA matches.

As for watching a lot closer, I was right beside the play.
