Omagh having no chance in the competition?

Take a day off naka

yes when omagh had no chance
i played mc crory for 3 years in the 80s( actually have a medal ) and omagh were whipping boys then
in fact it was as it is now college and maghera who were the serious contenders year in year out

Has to be Abbey... Only men from the Newry area refer to Colmans as 'the college'....

did Abbey not also win it in 82 by default? from st patricks Maghera
st marys  belfast in 86 had a great side as did st pats Armagh in 87( college beat them in the semi)

[Rawhide]

No they didn't, Maghera won the game on the pitch, Abbey appealed the result to the Ulster Colleges saying St Pats played an ineligible player, then St Pats appealed it to croke park and won the appeal, end of. Explaining why St Pats played in the Hogan semi final.

[Line Ball]

the age different is u18 to u181/2 not u-19 that some people are making out. It allows anyone within that final school year the ability to play football for the school. there were plenty at my school who couldn't play minor football for their county or club with me but still could play at colleges level.

Exactly. I was overage for my club minor team whilst still playing for the school. If it was u19 you'd have boys repeating years at school to keep playing!

Just wondering how you managed to play U.18 football for St. Joes when students leave their school at 16?

[Dougal Maguire]

I think he said earlier that he did A Levels at St Paul's

[Line Ball]

That explains the posts about St Pauls then

[Walter Cronc]

That explains the posts about St Pauls then

I think he was Jarlath Burns!!

Very similar comments about St Joes made by both men!

[Dougal Maguire]

No. Burns was a College man

[Line Ball]

No. Burns was a College man

His articles last year would certainly show no love for St Colmans.

[Walter Cronc]

Predictions for Monday folks??

[snoopdog]

Best of Luck to st Pauls Bessbrook on monday, hope you win it and the hogan.

Predictions for Monday folks??

I fancy Maghera to sneak it by a point, I hope not though. Would love to see St. Paul's win it.
