Championship is here, hopefully some great games ahead and a championship that's good for the county.

Championship day is here
Johnny's to win outright

Glenavy beating ballymena in ballymena would be very unexpected. Other intermediate games seemed to go mainly as expected.

Would've thought sars beating Dunloy was a surprise  ?

[imtommygunn]

Yeah probably is. I think they're both the same -much better with the hurlers. McKenna seems to make a big difference for sarsfields and I suspect McKernan handy.I didn't see too many hurlers on for dunloy - I think I counted 3?

First obvious sign of the quality coming through in Portglenone (previously highlighted) was evidenced yesterday by a resounding win in the final of All County Og Sport.

Is this the the start of the run??

[EOC1923]

If one good underage team means it's the start of a run then yes it's the start of a run.

[bannside]

Which would be fair enough EOC except I confidently predict yesterday's Og Sport title is just the first product off an excellent conveyor belt under development here.

One year wondergroup lol. Time will tell.....

Thought the ladies were unlucky today, would need to get the head set for the replay

You have an immense u13 group which everyone in the club should be proud of

[bannside]

Vast majority still underage next year too!

Not my job to bum them up, they're only kids...but there is definitely a core group coming through that will write a new script for PG1 regardless of what our current seniors do or don't do. I'm absolutely certain of that.

Heard there was a Conchur Johnston show on today in Glenravel.....4-05 solo contribution!

I highly doubt if the mentors of that young u12/13 team would want you to be on here talking them up like that. Some pressure on one team that, I'd just let them progress and see where it goes.
Yes Conhuir is a clinker, if we can pull off a minor championship this year that will be 3 in 4 years for us.

Winnings a bonus, being at the level and competing is the main thing

Better team. Penalty never a penalty. Efficiency up front looks a problem. That Fermanagh number 11 was some operator and the player that kept them in it.

Kicked savage wides. Far better side for long spells I thought
