Thanks MR. Makings of a good day. If its as exciting as the year you beat Glenullin in the final it would be worth going to. Your match with An Lub could be worth seeing.

They are, the intermediate isn't at Kilmacud though, it's at Ratoath in Meath.

anyone know if st galls are heading down with there strongest team for the kilacud sevens??
with cargin game the week after they might play the younger lads...
see there 6/4 on paddypower to win kilmacud this year,very short odds

[Milltown Row2]

Heading down with the best team we have, sevens is very difficult, should we progress from the group then they will only get better. Down teams wont be great this year, they have something else to worry about

might have a flutter on Kilmacud Crokes though, they also have Championship the following week but not at the final stages

i was going to bet on st galls but that poor odds isnt it
yeah i was thinking kilmacud myself at 50/1
our team very young we sending down

Behave yourselves on the pitch and off it. Don't be tarnishing the good name of Derry.

Was the minor final on last night? If so anyone know who won it?  (Not seeing any results on county web-site)

Lamh Dhearg won about 0-12 to 0-3

Cheers.

As expected really then. Be interesting to see how they do in ulster.

[Milltown Row2]

up against teams that have done well in the Schools cups and in the latter stages of the County minor championships.

Difficult for Antrim teams to win it, but they are a decent team so should give it a rattle

[bannside]

Another sevens title MR. Great achievement considering you were without KMG, Niblock, Andy and Sean Kelly.

A credit to the county. Well done.

just watched it on TG4. Never went down. only allowed one September weekend now so the hurling gets my vote.

4 of the lads that played had not won a Sevens before and was great to see Karl Stewart getting the player of the tournament.

Our centenary dinner this year in the Europa will be some craic

Always did think that KS was a better footballer. Congrats to him
