Quote from: milltown row on November 24, 2009, 11:07:00 PMi remember a final when the Derry Champions were favourites (Ballinderry i think) they were playing Cross at Casement, must have bee the only time Cross were not favourites for the final. but the weather was dreadfull and Cross beat them in a very low scoring final. Boys are looking forward to it, training tonight and good buzz about them.Remember it well. A large crowd gathered at the back of Casement stand* to get out of the rain/wind/hail. Was something like 0-05 0-03.*We need a name for the stand (Is there one?). I propose The Roddy McCorley Aircraft Hanger Stand.
