Any news on the junior semi finals?

Tullysaran won by 7 and Grange won by a good few as well.

Davitt park is now the sole responsibility of the Clans and not the CB - so county teams will just have to find a new training pitch!

You are incorrect yet again Ivedecided- the county board will have use of the pitch for training- its part of the 99 year lease agreement and they still have input into davitt park field commitee

Just another little small point BC the development of Davitt is funded by the members of our club and through governmental sports grants.

Does the redevelopment include spectator facilities and if so, is it envisaged that these would be up to County standard? Any further details about the nature of the development planned, timescales etc?

Davitt Park has been out of the loop for too long when it comes to National League matches.

Rufus the 1st phase is the new pitch with the stadium to follow, with a bit of luck this will follow next year but Nelson McCausland will call that but TBH the way the economy is going it will be touch and go if it happens next year (fingers crossed) but when it does happen it will have roughly 850 seats and provision for about 50 disabled areas within the stands. The total capacity would be around 9000 when complete with all new turnstyles and a complete revamp of Davitt Park. The new pitch has been redone completely with state of the art drainage and surface. There is 4 new lighting columns in each corner of the ground very similar to the Athletic Grounds lights (probably a grade below them but up to county standard. 500 lux) as well as a new 3G playing surface 40m x 35m behind the existing clubhouse and a similar size grassed area along side that also for warm ups training etc.

Not that I don't admire the ambition of the project but is there any real need for a 9,000 capacity stadium in Lurgan?

How often will be it filled?

How would there be any more need for a stadium that size in say, Crossmaglen? I would like to think NFL and at the very least McKenna Cup games be played at Davitt when it is finished. Maybe even a venue for SFC finals say when a certain Rangers team are involved? Also considering Lurgan is a lot more accessible than most places it could possibly hold college games etc.

My own view would be that all the NFL matches should be in the Athletic Grounds, as should all county finals after this year. Perhaps spread the two McKenna Cup matches between Cross and Lurgan fair enough but you're talking a couple of thousand maximum at those games.

I disgaree. IMO all county games should be rotated between the three. County finals granted should remain in the city.
