DL getting a lengthy suspension ?

Creggan PG1 a good game. Cargin to win handy and fancy St Brigids too. An upset with Dunloy and LD possible. Hearing a suspension rumour too out of LD.

Intermediate should go to plan. Cant see any slip ups

3 months

A 3 month suspension should be nailed on, but this particular player always seems to get off the hook for disciplinary matters.

What way does a suspension for x length of time work when its approaching the off season?

I think it plays out as a 12 week ban, whereas match bans carry over

Cracking weekend in prospect.

Tonight Under 15 semi finals. Followed by 3 days of great cship action (best club weekend of the year) then throw in a dollop of international rugby and soccer to further entertain.

Topped off on Monday by ten days on the Sunshine Coast. Home then in time for semi final weekend. Question is....who will be in it?

[Ghost+Tommy]

Will be interested to see if the Coynty will be bullied, no doubt FQ,BT,TMcC or ML will no doubt squeeze the County Board,any other player/club would take their punishment

[InnocentByStander]

Indeed ITG, Saffron Gael one of our biggest assets in promoting gaa culture across the county.  Imagine the void should for any reason they stop/cannot supply this great service.

Good reserve final tonight, Cargins young guns seeing it out against a host of aging legends of Antrims greatest ever club team, in front of a large crowd in Dunsilly.

Good to hear there was a large crowd. Reserve football is 100% neglected and looked down on by club members and sometimes senior managers. A good reserve game is as entertaining as some senior games

Not the case in Cargin Reserve football showen serious respect by the club and the senior management.

I honestly haven't heard a word about this tbh!

BS you're slipping! 

Yeah big weekend of football in store. A lot of games could go either way in the senior. Cargin predicted by pretty much everyone to win and Jim Stynes gone missing so dunno what that says...

Seem to be clear favourites in most of the intermediate / junior games so be interesting to see if any upsets. U17 looks interesting too. St Pauls probably favourites after beating st brigids but I think st endas probably not too bad at this age. Glenravel Cargin looks like a decent enough tie too.

Pathway to senior football too. To me it's crucial to the development of your senior team.

Couldnt agree more. When you reserves are going well too it helps the seniors. Cargin always have it. Creggan PG1 too. Great chance for 4 or 5 St Galls reserves to learn from the best at a lower level and kick on

Shoutout to Dunloy reserves too, buzz around senior team at the minute. Played Glenravel in the final they are also going well at senior level

1 game ban for the offence (hurling championship) and 12 weeks for abuse to officials. Not sure there are too many grounds for an appeal

Question for MR2 and suppose anyone.

I always thought the mark from a kick out you had 4 seconds to play the ball and the attacking mark you had 15 seconds.
Last night a player caught a standard mark and the ref shouted 15 seconds.

15 seconds for all 'marks'

Enjoyable game last night, St Galls old guard ran out of puff a little in the second half (understandable). Kelly still fantastic player and Niblock before he ran out of diesel. Walked across the pitch after, great surface there. Quite like it as a venue now.

Great link up for the goal and we probably chased the goal too often and ran out of options and swapped.. Nibs hit the ground besides me with such a thud! He'll be sore today
