0-0 after 20 mins.

what do teams like Creggan get out of a season if that's the way they want to play. 2 points in an hours football. holy f**k !

Lads, I attended the Cargin creggan game and I have to be honest and say it was one of the worst games I ever saw. I hear young McFlynn was getting paid for his role as manager. He should pay back every penny. He made a complete joke of creggan and degraded the club cship.

I was also at the games in Ahoghill. The first match was poor, best team won in the end. The 2nd game however made the 1st match look like Dublin vs Kerry. Creggan returning 2 points in over an hours football is shocking. They didnt even kick many wides either. Cargin hit a lot of wides and were deserved winners with a very cosy 3 point win.

anyone know when the dates and venues for both finals will be announced? My money is still on Lamh Dhearg for the SFC Final.

Right, that should be grand, St Mary's pitch Crosskeys? Would the parking be plentyfull up there? So this must be first year in a while that both finals will be up teh country, Looks like I'll not be at the hurling replay ffs

Hurling is at 5 so no danger of heading down afterwards be lucky to catch the second half

These boys are on form this year. Football final on same day as all ireland hurling final replay. Club games with the same players involved as the county team on the same day as an ai semi final. frank dawson reappointed for another year.

manballandall · September 10, 2013, 08:29:52 AM

If the previous rounds of the championship are anything to go by I don't envisage too many neutrals traveling to ahoghill to sacrifice missing a replay of last weeks epic . Maybe some non neutrals to id say

Why did none of you take me bet? Could have took a few bob off me. I'm bad at the old betting.

Ahoghill is a grand venue, lots of parking and plenty of stewards who ensured I was on my way home in no time on Saturday. Those complaining are either city boys that are too spoiled or begrudging bollockses. Take a leaf out of MR2's book - embrace it. Sure Galls can win anywhere!

I think its great to see a small club get it, especially Ahoghill as they have had a fair bit of bother down the years with unsavoury incidents from paramilitaries.

i agree fra always found the people in that club to be sound.great example of a small club batting above their weight by sticking together and working very hard.

hearing reports of Aggies trying to get their JFC Semi final replay played on a Saturday as they know Davitts have 3 irish league players in their midst. Not exactly in the spirit of the game but more a win at any cost mentality.

also hear a few men from Milltown arent happy about the venue for the SGC either. At least 1 of whom is no stranger to a bit of gurning.
