yes redandblackareback heading away friday someone reckons 4 hours or so what about yourself . Cant see much change in team only for Murdock in goals

Final usually broadcasted on BBC 1 or 2  on St Patricks day assume it will be the same this year

College have 3 Armagh lads on starting team Matthew Mc Neice Connor Gough and Pearse Casey with at least two more on the bench Neil Smyth and Conall Gough not sure about any more on the subs

In response to Highlander saw both the final and the semi finals and no Down man stood out.Both Murney and Mc Cartan tried hard for the poly they were nothing special although John Fitzpatrick did rightly for UCD .Murney made a superb catch in the final but looked small compared to the other mid fielders .

Spillane was excellent as he was yesterday also .He covers a serious amount of ground to help out , To be honest UUJ were poor enough yesterday against Maynooth and were lucky enough too many big names . Wasnt sure but do UCC have any senior inter county players . Fair play to Billy Morgan

Have to agree with family guy thought Donnelly very poor scored a great point but didnt do much else only telling everyone else what to do .UCC better team ethic UUJ seemed to all for themselves not for the team . Thought Mark Collins Sean Kiely Johnny Buckley and both mid fielders excellent for UCC.All UUJ best performances were in defence bar mc manus. They really could of done with Jamie Clarke.

Thought of Brendan Loughran  ok but only caught tail end of his flowing locks in the red and black .

just a note on the 45 post stevie mc donnell didnt score a 45 on sat night he hit one but it was claimed in the square by dan without any probelm. Clarke hit a free from 45and scored with ease although he did miss one 45 the other dropped short and danny hughes scored from it.  last year there was no problem with clarkes 45s and he hit the majority of them although ambrose scored one against kerry i think it was the only one he did score.  Some else posted that benny coulter hits them dont think i have ever seen him hit a 45 for the seniors and its twelve years since he hit them for the minors.  There has been good 45 takers for down over the years brendan toner, gary mason ross carr gregory mc cartan shorty trainor to name but a few.  think we have to stick with clarke.
