As far as I can see the 2 lads were hugely popular especially among the 18-35 audience.

Have no more detail than that and take it with a pinch of salt, maybe some of the Derry men can give us more detail.
Spill the beans
Quote from: SouthOfThe Bann on May 21, 2024, 03:10:18 PMWas there not something in Offaly hurling this year where Kilcormac Killoughey had a vote on whether they'd have 2 teams in senior this year.Not sure. I know in Armagh you can only have one team at each grade so if your seconds were promoted to senior or the unlikely event your first team was relegated you could only have one team in intermediate the following year.
Since they won intermediate this year.
Quote from: SouthOfThe Bann on May 21, 2024, 03:10:56 PMAre the rumours true about a row in the Derry camp when they went to Portugal or is it just fabrication?Seen it mentioned on another forum by someone who I'd be inclined to trust who says it's from a very good source. Not heard it anywhere else so who knows. You'd imagine it would be in the media by now.
Quote from: cornerback on May 20, 2024, 10:37:16 AMThere was a incident in the Derry Galway game were a Galway player in possession was "ushered" over the sideline by a couple of Derry players. McQullian pointed his flag in favour of the Galway player and indicated a pushing motion with this hands. I didn't hear if the referee blew his whistle at this point but is it not the linesmans job to indicate which way the line ball is to go and he should not be calling the freekick??Yeah would have thought he can advise the ref that there was a foul but it's the refs call.
Quote from: general_lee on May 20, 2024, 09:51:06 AMYeah absolutely, the reserve league is a bit of a joke with teams not fielding and at times fielding very weak teams. Fair play to the Lurgan clubs they've serious numbers by the looks of things.Quote from: Armagh18 on May 19, 2024, 10:44:58 PMThink that's the reason the likes of St Peter's have scrapped reserves and went for Junior football instead. You might get one or two meaningful reserve games a year sandwiched between walkovers and cricket scores. I suppose with junior football you're almost certainly guaranteed the opposition won't cry off at the last minute with something to aim for (promotion & junior championship).Quote from: ranch on May 19, 2024, 10:23:19 PMBy all means have them playing league football. There should be a proper reserve championship to accommodate them however. As much as the CE lads would have enjoyed winning a junior championship last year, there was hardly a celebration out of them after they beat Ballyhegan.That St Peters team will be hard stopped. Yeah probably a tiered league competition for seconds and reserve teams would be best.
As for this year, St Peter's seconds are doing well, only lost one game to league favourites Corrinshego early in the season. Come championship you'd imagine that Forkhill and Middletown would be the favourites if they're at full strength.

Quote from: Milltown Row2 on May 19, 2024, 08:48:41 PMYeah happened last year. Ballyhegan who'd be a decent junior team and have been in intermediate recently were hammered by Clann Eireann seconds in the junior final and then played in Ulster. Just had a look there and CE seconds are 3rd in intermediate B currently.Quote from: Armagh18 on May 19, 2024, 08:41:50 PMYeah looks like that St Peters team will win junior, don't think it's fair on proper junior clubs imo, let them play league but not championship maybe?
The runners up (provided they ain't second team) will represent Armagh in Ulster
