They still do... its called Eire on

I didn't realise Derriaghy had a club at some point. Awful sad this.

Well yes and no, I think they were stand alone clubs at one point then changed over, as Frankie says he moved on to Lamhs and some of the Eire og lads did at juvenile then went back to their 'own' clubs at senior

Can't remember playing against Derriaghy but remember Frankie for Lamhs, some pace and intelligent with the ball 

He came back into Antrim over 40's and still had pace ffs!!

Sadly missed

Got to know him through the Masters. It is hard to take on. Full of life. Shit is not right

[Sportacus]

I didn't have the pleasure of knowing him personally, but I certainly remember watching him play and he always gave his all and was very talented, played off the cuff a bit. RIP.

Rest in peace Frankie, our paths never crossed personally but the last time I saw you was at the beach in Culdaff and you were living life to the full. Your passing puts a lot of things in perspective. Sincere condolences also to the Mc Auley family of Cargin on the passing of Kevin, a true Gael in every sense.

Fair play to all the u20 footballers out plodding through the mud and rain today. As with every other year this age left to November. Need to wise up and play this age of championship in April / May, give young players a chance. Rant over

During the normal senior season?

[EOC1923]

Yes mid week or on Friday nights. Does the senior season mean no one else can play while it's on?

The revival of the under 21 football championship back in the late 80s saw the competition started pre-senior league in March and completed by the end of April.
Proved hugely successful and no reason why such programme was not retained....

There are senior hurling senior football there are juvenile games there are ladies and camogie there are divisional games and hardly anyone to referee the games,  it's not just that simple to just through them in April or May... it was and should be just a championship set up, running a league has proven to be unsuccessful

[EOC1923]

Championship only in April and May

[Milltown Row2]

It's difficult and all grades deserve to be given the proper attention it needs. I haven't even mentioned inter county commitments either..

There would be college games earlier in the year also, college games on now also

Not impossible but personally wouldn't have the first clue on fixtures

[country bumpkin]

So only players from.Cargin up for young player of the year..

Be a tough decision for the main MAN, but perhaps another twist in the tale.
Sean og O'Neill was officially notified he had gained that same award last year but in the event somebody changed their mind.

[Milltown Row2]

Even when there's nothing to complain about!!

Toys completely thrown clean out of the pram for no reason

Ciaran Maginnis from aghagallon who has been their best player all year didn't even get a mention. Farce. Probably don't even know who he is!
