Bring back Sean Kelly.

The SV lads reached out and said they would help with any county PRO stuff if they needed it completely voluntary, they were at portglenone on friday night and athletic grounds yesterday.

Decent group of minors, the bulk of them back next year I understand. Derry and Donegal are just on a different planet.

That Derry down result is one of the biggest hammering I have seen in a minor game.

Good result. It would be good to see a report - there's a wee titbit on the ulster gaa website which says gribben scored the equaliser but that and following the score all I have read.

Yep that was Callum.Gribbin, brother of Jamie (a lot taller) who scored the last point......

A fine baller too..is he in final year of minor? Definitely one for the notebook.

Well done Tony, Lawrence and to all involved. Great to see the level of organisation behind this, probably 8 or 9 of a management team with nothing left to chance and shout out to Paddy Kelly who's doing superb work behind the scenes.

You cant underestimate the influence of Saffron Vision in all this and one of their main successes being the establishment of Saffron Business Forum which is a big driver in ensuring the funds are in place to enable our squads are properly prepared.

We are still a long way of winning silverware, but a lot of essential boxes are starting to be ticked!

Yeah like the trip to Waterfoot for the senior footballers, you need some serious financial backing for stuff like that

Report on saffron Gael now. Looks like a few subs made a good difference.

JJ Higgins named in the report as St Galls, is a Naomh Brid player

Maybe he has left, common practice around the city. 😉

Was very impressed with the minors on Saturday. Sé Ferris coming off the bench offered something different and a driving force. Callum Gribbin only coming back from injury and he looked relatively sharp in the second half after being introduced and took some courage to take his shot from just inside the 45 to get the equaliser.

Great signs for these young lads who will take great heart from that result going forward into the championship. They are guaranteed a QF since being in the group of 4.

The county couldn't give a toss about any level of football in this county

Donegal had a 3rd choice team hardly going to risk boys a week out from championship, says alot about Antrim tbh
