Three-goal blast take Harps to title
Derrygonnelly 4-06 Maguiresbridge 1-11
Derrygonnelly Harps captured the Fermanagh Minor Championship title with a three-goal blast in a three minute second half spell proving the turning point in this encounter.
Derrygonnelly opened the scoring with a fine solo effort coming from midfielder Garvan Jones before a Conor Durnien free for Maguiresbridge on seven minutes drew the sides level.
Gary McKenna of Derrygonnelly and Dwayne Rice of Maguiresbridge both had goal chances that went marginally wide before McKenna clipped over a 14 metre free after a surging run from Darragh McGovern to put the Harps one ahead.
A monster of a free from Conor Durnien drew the sides level again, but once more captain McKenna was to restore the Harps' lead, winning the ball in front of his marker and turning brilliantly to fire over the bar.
Maguiresbridge then introduced Patrick Hyde from the bench and he made an instant impact around the middle of the field with his powerful running.
Conor Durnien was on hand again to score from a free on 22 minutes for Maguiresbridge before Barry Duffy set up David Teague and he give the Bridge men the lead, 0-04 to 0-03, for the first time in the game.
Another Durnien free on 27 minutes put his side 0-05 to 0-03 ahead and slowly the game was turning in favour of Maguiresbridge.
Derrygonnelly though were to receive a huge boost when Lee Jones fired to the net soccer style after Paul McHugh's original effort smacked off the post and this saw the Harps take a one point advantage at the break, 1-03 to 0-05.
Hyde began to see a lot more ball early in the second half and he teed up Durnien to make it all level.
Maguiresbridge were now on top and Hyde again orchestrated the next move, he slipped in Dwayne Rice and the towering midfielder saw his shot hit the crossbar and go over the bar to give Maguiresbridge the lead.
The 'Bridge moved two ahead when Stephen Breen fired over on 33 minutes and they looked to be taking control as Ciaran Corrigan clipped over from an acute angle to make it 0-09 to 1-03.
A Garvan Jones free in the 37th minute was to finally settle the Harps back into the game and they went on to hit Maguirebridge with a three goal blitz that completely turned the game on its head.
Midfielder Garvan Jones, who was looking extremely dangerous every time he got on the ball, was to smash home a terrific goal following good approach play from Darragh McGovern, Paul McHugh and Colm Jones as the Harps moved into a one point lead. Colm Jones then drilled a 25 yard effort low into the corner and Gary McKenna followed up with a third goal in as many minutes to leave Maguiresbridge shell-shocked, the Harps turning a two point deficit into a seven point advantage.
With 13 minutes still to play Maguiresbridge were by no means going to throw the towel in and Durnien was to convert a penalty. All of a sudden Maguiresbridge were showing the spirit that got them to the final and with Ciaran Corrigan and Durnien then both pointing it left it 4-04 to 1-11 with only three minutes remaining.
Derrygonnelly though were dogged throughout and deep into injury time they secured the victory as Garvan Jones and Gary McKenna knocked over frees to see Derrygonnelly capture their first Minor Championship trophy since 2003.
While Maguiresbridge were defeated they still battled gamely throughout and had impressive performers in defenders Paddy Gavin and Brendan McCusker, while midfielder Conor Durnien was hugely influential for his side especially with his excellent free taking.
Stephen Breen and Ciaran Corrigan were most impressive in the forward line.
The winners Derrygonnelly had some top notch performers in defence coming from John Joe Moore and Conor Cameron, while Garvan Jones at midfield was outstanding. Forwards Colm Jones and Gary McKenna were terrific, the latter was instrumental in the last 15 minutes of the game.

No correlation between minor success and senior success in Armagh. What about other counties?
Very much so in Derry.
Dungiven won a championship in 97 following a minor win in 90.
Bellaghy won 6 in 94, 96, 98-00 and 05 as well as a couple of Ulster clubs following minor wins in 91 and 94.
Loup won 2 senior championships in 03 and 09 following minor wins in 93 and 95.
Ballinderry won seniors in 95, 01, 02, 06, 08, 11 & 12 going on to win the All-Ireland in 02 following minor wins in 96, 97, 01 & 08.
Slaughtneil won a championship in 04 following their 98 minor win and were also beat in the 99 minor final.
Kilrea have been close in recent years without getting over the line.
Glenullin & Coleraine have been the only team in Derry to win a senior championships without any major underage success recently.

Errigal (2012) & Coalisland (2010) both won championships 7 & 4 years respectively after winning minor Ulsters. In addition Omagh would be expected to win a senior championship in the next couple of years based on the players they have.
Dungannon were the exception, they went down not too many years after their success.

Monaghan only have one winner there so not much to go on either, but that Clontibret team that won in 2002 had won 3 Monaghan minors on the trot and were in the Ulster final in 2001 aswell. The players from the 2000-2002 teams formed the majority of the Clontibret teams that won 4 senior championships between 2006-2010.

Glen have 11/12 that played in last year's final back (most of these were also involved the year before). If they get out of Derry (tight final expected against Slaughtneil, though Glen would be favourites) they will be hard to stop. Enda Gormley has moved on to the senior team though, so his influence could be missed.

Good question. They've had 8 games in Ulster the last two years, plus whatever the Derry Championship is. Here's the Slaughtneil goals, which were very good, just too late - http://www.jeromequinnmedia.com (http://www.jeromequinnmedia.com) BTW Conor Glass was outstanding again, and only just turned 17, I think.
Bound to be just turned 16 as he was the U16 captain this year.

I think Jimmy's correct in that he's only 16 - was a 4th year when St Pat's won the Hogan earlier this year. As someone mentioned in the Derry thread, he could potentially have 5 county minor medals by the time he hits 18.

Watty Graham's Glen secure three-in-a-row
Joy quickly turned to quiet satisfaction for Watty Grahams Glen last night as they collected their third minor football title in as many years under Owenbeg's floodlit glow.
'A job only half done' was how captain Stephen O'Hara described the achievement, clearly alluding to months of training ahead, as he and his team mates prepare for the now annual trip to West Belfast over the Christmas period.
The management may have changed but the methods remain much the same. Goal blitzes had been the hallmark of Enda Gormley's two winning teams at the previous two St Paul's tournaments. With much of the forward unit returning from last year it was newcomer, and 16-year-old, Jack Doherty who bagged the first goal mid-way through the first half.
Slaughtneil had made a confident start but were rocked by the concession of a second goal barely one minute after the first. Following a Stephen O'Hara sideline, Conor Convery latched onto a quick pass and used his experience to squeeze the ball under the advancing Slaughtneil goalkeeper.
Buoyed by two goals and now totally dominant, the champions pressed home their advantage with three unanswered points to lead 2-06 to 0-02 at the break.
That blitzkrieg would have broken many teams; but not Slaughtneil. To their eternal credit, the young Emmet's never dropped their heads; even following the concession of two further points at the start of the second half.
Cormac O'Doherty grabbed the game by the scruff to add two fine scores; the first a solo effort following a tenacious run and finish. Frank McEldowney then breathed real life back into Slaughtneil's challenge with a brilliant finish to the corner of the net.
Glen looked to have steadied the ship following that score with two fine points pushing their lead to six points with ten minutes remaining. Again, O'Doherty led the charge for the Emmet's reducing the gap to four. Proceedings seemed to be done and dusted after Stephen O'Hara's left foot effort added his team's final score with four minutes left to lead by five points.
However, as typified their second half effort, Slaughtneil pulled one back in the final stages before a cool finish from Shane McGuigan left only three points between the teams deep into injury time. The resultant kick-out from Ciaran McCloy was met by Martin McErlane's final whistle of the evening – an evening on which both clubs deserve tremendous credit for their mature performances.
Congratulations to Watty Graham's Glen – Derry Minor Football Champions 2013 (...and 2012...and 2011).

Some of the Glen posters could confirm, but I don't think he was on the panel which won the first championship. I don't think he would even have been allowed to as there is, or at least was a rule, where an underage player can't play two grades above their age, i.e. an u12 could only go as far as u14, an u14 could only go as far as u16, and an u16 could only go as far as minor.
There was a row over Ryan Bell not being allowed to play for Ballinderry in 2008 as he was still U14, or was it the fact that he did play and an opposing team objected saying he shouldn't have been. Something along those lines.
Quote from: ONeill on September 24, 2013, 02:49:47 PM
So, 8 Ulster games and 12 Derry games? (4 games to win it in Derry?)
3 games to win Derry this year. Bellaghy, Ballinascreen and Slaughtneil.
2 games last year I think. Bellaghy and Slaughtneil as there were only 6 teams in minor A league last year and they got a bye into semi-final (open to correction on that).
Not sure how many games they would have had in 2011.
I stand corrected, Conor is 15-years-old, he'll be 16 next month. You can see two of his points in this clip from last night's Final: http://www.jeromequinnmedia.com/video/St-Pauls-201213/Glen/Best-Minor-Club-Team-in-Ireland-1230 (http://www.jeromequinnmedia.com/video/St-Pauls-201213/Glen/Best-Minor-Club-Team-in-Ireland-1230)
Glen are producing some minor teams. What is it that they are doing at underage level that is making them so successful?

Glen definitely favourites for the title and they are one of only two former winners with Rostrevor, Down, being the other. Rostrevor beat Mayobridge in the Down final by 3 points but looked like they could do more damage than they actually did. Didnt score for 18 minutes but once they got going they looked good. Add in the fact that they reached the Ulster U16 final two years ago and they could be a threat to Glens chances. Tryone champions are always strong so would expect a lot from Ardboe. I believe the winner will come from these 3 teams (in reality though you dont know what standard of other teams are like so its more a guesstimate than an educated guess).

Beware this post. Ardboe have 12 of last years team and were very comfortable in this years championship in Tyrone. Ardboe are an excellent side, great at attacking down the wings and play a quick countering game with a good spread of stand out individuals and a very good management set up. I expect them to give Ulster a real rattle this year and I think they could be a match for the Watty's.

Well there you go. The three teams that had been mentioned all in the same side of the draw. Glen favourites to make it through. Does anyone know the qualities of the Derrygonnelly side of the draw. Who would be favoured to come through from it?
Apart from Ardboe and Glen,I would know very little about the others.St Johns are back again this year,I saw them against Glen last year,perhaps they would be fancied to get through from the other side of the draw.

I imagine the same rules will apply from the first game of the competition to the last.

Lets hope Connolly from Monaghan isnt officiating that day!! ::)
Does the rules from the calendar year the competition is for not apply to the whole competition? If the black card rule is applied then you could have an argument that the majority of both teams is probably over-age for minor as you are into 2014 when the final is played.

I didn't think that was the case.
If there is an official referee apportioned then it's a proper competition and not an invitational one, this was the case when it first started I believe but it's purely the winners of the counties of Ulster. The seven's in Kilmacud, St Judes and the one in Meath are all recognised. If you get red carded in these games it carries through

You can argue all you like, come the first its new rules, as it was for gum shields and helmets when they came in. Schools competitions are played through the year, before xmas and after the rules will also apply to them and the colleges
Quote from: hardstation on November 26, 2013, 03:22:33 PM
Schools competitions are usually u18 & 1/2 etc to get around this, milltown. I think you are wrong here.
Which bit am I wrong in? that the referee won't be applying the rules or it's a recognise competition? I said that the schools competitions had to change when gum shields and helmets begcame compulsory and this was at the start of a new year
Its only in Ulster where its 18 & half. As Northern schools are an extra year in schools, transition year is optional for southern schools.
When it goes to Hogan Cup level its u18 and some Northern teams lose players who would be over that limit
I didn't know Northern teams could lose players for the Hogan cup.
As for the Ulster Minor club final, surely there can't be a cherry picking of what rules to apply to a match i.e. its ok for over-age players to play but its imperative that the black card rules have are applied.
Quote from: hardstation on November 26, 2013, 03:29:20 PM
Both, I think.
Gum shields?
Would you like to wager it? As question was asked at the black card seminar and Pat said rules will come in from the 1st.

Feck it. Pity it couldn't be that bit earlier so you'd be able to take it easy going to Omagh.
I know it wouldn't work and would be unfair on Dromore, but it would be a deadly opening game in Omagh to the Ulster Final.

Definitely would be alright. I would love to see both games but hopefully we will just be heading home beeping the horns like mad!
I think this could be a cracking game as both teams are strong and hopefully the weather stays good for it.
The Watties up against the greatest of them all. Will be a great day for them and it's a great test. Let's hope they give a good account of themselves.
I don't agree they have blitzed anyone (a poor Enniskillen team excepted). They had a tough test in the Derry final verses a very good Faughanvale team and only just got over the line. That age group is tight in Derry with 4-5 clubs around the same mark.
In Ulster they only pulled away from Ballybay in the closing stages. The semi final however seemed like a non event verses Enniskillen.
It's a big ask against Cross who beat the reigning champions and are arguably the most impressive team there to date.
Fingers crossed there's two trophies heading past the seven sisters to Derry from the Omagh area on Sunday but it's gonna be very tough in both games.

St Paul's chairman Chris Brown confirmed that the organisers were expecting to have the new rules in place.
"Having spoken to the three referees we will be using them, they all agree that we should indeed plan to implement the rules," he said.
Brown confirmed that clubs will receive communication from organisers confirming that measure, and it will make for an interesting game.
With the semi-finals traditionally held on St Stephen's Day, it ensures the two finalists will have to do some quick readjusting ahead of January 1.

No players and managers will too.
Players will be able to score points with the hand differently in the semi-final compared to the final for example.
Managers will now be able to introduce six subs instead of five.

HMMMMMMMM
Congratulations to our boys on what was by far their most impressive performance of their perfect unbeaten season. They played exceptional stuff to win against a very good Glen team and I think the overall stronger balance on our team was the difference. Glen relied too much on young Glass whereas we had numerous options. The future looks bright anyway!

Congratulations to our boys on what was by far their most impressive performance of their perfect unbeaten season. They played exceptional stuff to win against a very good Glen team and I think the overall stronger balance on our team was the difference. Glen relied too much on young Glass whereas we had numerous options. The future looks bright anyway!

Exciting game played in poor conditions. Ramor will feel they left it behind as the best team definitely lost. Well done to Silverbridge as they played to the whistle and showed real grit.

They only have 5 days till the next match. It's a big ask after playing 80 minutes of football on a very heavy pitch
Its a good competition this but at the same I dont think its right young player's playing this time of year. They should wrap it up earlier instead of the novelty of playing the final on January 1st. As for the u21 ulster not much thought of players who have hectic schedule at that time of year sigerson, county u21s etc
Technically many of the players are overage on 1 January

Haven't watched the video but I did think the Ramor fella touched it on the deck.
Ramor scored a penalty in the 60 minutes. I have no idea yet what the ref saw to give it. The Silverbridge 'keeper was booked for it too.
Touched it on the deck but obviously outside the small square. Highlights only shows extra time

2012 would maybe be a bit of a guess. Number of teams in the A league vary from year to year. This year there were 9 teams. Last year there were 6 teams and it was a 2 way league. They got a bye to the semi final that year.

When you live in the big smoke these things happen, I have no doubt there are plenty of Derry, Armagh and the rest examples ;)
In 2012, the closest challengers to Glen were Slaughtneil by a point in the Derry final. In 2011 by three to Slaughtneil. The rest of Ulster fell fairly short in both years.
Yep, Glen only tested in Derry in this past three years by the looks of it.

Great stuff from the Bridge. Was at their last game and they looked dead on their feet by the end of it. Expected them to struggle today because of that. 14 goals in their last 4 championship games, that sort of fire power should give them a decent shot against Glen.
8 goals today at St Paul's Ulster Minor T'ment & I'll posting them all in the next few hours. Silverbridge beat Carrickmacross in a Christmas cracker!
Here's the best goal from today - Pauraic Keating for Silverbridge, take a bow

Strange game. Carrick were 2-03 to 0-01 up after about 15 minutes and then didn't score again until the 56th minute. Weird.
Drici not happy about this.i have convinced him however that Glen will hammer Silverbridge in the final.
Great win for Silverbridge today. Unbeaten in 2013. They'll give the final a good lash. I understand final wil be played under current rules so no black cards
I've discovered a new pundit. See 12-year-old Conor McVerry, son of Silverbridge manager Declan, analyse today's St Paul's Ulster Minor Semi-final clash between Silverbridge and Carrickmacross.. http://www.jeromequinnmedia.com/video/St-Pauls-201314/silverbridge/Match-Analysis---Conor-McVerry-1286 (http://www.jeromequinnmedia.com/video/St-Pauls-201314/silverbridge/Match-Analysis---Conor-McVerry-1286) A wise head on such young shoulders, he refuses to give a prediction for the Final..

As the final of this is fixed for the 1st Jan, will this be the first game played under the new black card rules?
From our Gaelic Life. November 21st edition
St Paul's chairman Chris Brown confirmed that the organisers were expecting to have the new rules in place.
"Having spoken to the three referees we will be using them, they all agree that we should indeed plan to implement the rules," he said.Brown confirmed that clubs will receive communication from organisers confirming that measure, and it will make for an interesting game.
With the semi-finals traditionally held on St Stephen's Day, it ensures the two finalists will have to do some quick readjusting ahead of January 1.
HMMMMMMMM

Best of luck to our Harps cousins in the final, hope to get to it.

For those who can no longer see.
Above is a 'tweet' from Silverbridge Harps GAA Club with a photograph of a drinks' bar being put together.
The message from Silverbridge Harps along with the photograph in the 'tweet' reads
'Looking more like a bar and less like pallets and plywood now'(dated 10th May)
(http://i849.photobucket.com/albums/ab56/declanrice/16_zps5e0ba849.png)
For those of you who cannot see - above is a picture of a very large finished bar that must have taken a quare bit of effort to transform from the original 'pallets and plywood'
The message from Silverbridge Harps in the 'tweet' reads:
'And here's the finshed product!! All ready for the 1000 patrons coming to be entertained by Nathan Carter.(dated 10th May)

For those of you who cannot see - the above is a photograph taken from a long view to emphasise the bar's length and gravity.
The message from Silverbridge Harps in the' tweet' reads:
'Ready for the busy night ahead'They must do some drinking alright in Silverbridge Harps - probably a great 'generator'(to quote J Burns) for the GAA side of the Club though.

Social clubs are not priorities for the GAA. They were, at best, questionable in their heyday and thankfully are no longer the Association’s main income

You are one sad pathetic person putting up a post like this about an under 18 football match
I returned home from a wake at 5am this morning to discover the 2 posts about Silverbridge GFC posted by hero member drici. In these he insinuates that our Club is a pack of drunks, using a couple of photos put up on the Club twitter account earlier this year to demonstrate the volunteer ethos which could transform a pile of pallets and plywood into a functioning bar for a one off event, as a means of substantiating his claim. It was the same volunteer ethos that was evident over the past 2 days and nights when the same volunteers stayed out in the wind and rain to steward at the said wake which was that of the 42 year old son of an esteemed Club member who died on Boxing Day leaving a widow and 5 children, 4 of whom are under 8 years of age. But we never put photos of that sort of thing on twitter, we just do it as a matter of form. I cannot understand what would drive a person to post something as spiteful and vindictive in a thread about an under 18 football match. I would ask him what does he really know about our Club? What does he know about its members? What does he know about our minor team? And finally what axe has he to grind with us? It must be something pretty bad to warrant what he did. If ever the term hero member was inappropriate, this is it

Seriously? I see nothing wrong in it, the vast majority of Gaa clubs have a bar, it's a bitta craic not spiteful or vindictive in it, maybe a quote from Burns has prompted this but no real malice

DM your obviously in an emotional state right now fella, which I'm sorry about but dricis quote were from the Casement re-development thread where the discussion surrounded a J. Burns comment.
Yes I am emotional and the situation is not helped when someone insults my Club like that guy did. It doesn't take a genius to work out the connotations - Glen depicted by a picture of Watty Graham, Silverbridge by a picture of a fictitious alcoholic priest.

Even their wemen are strong around Silverbridge!
I see the Irish News today had a preview of the match and said Dungiven won in 1990 with Joe Brolly and Kieran McKeever playing. Now even I was overage in 1990 ! (at 19 just about ) Not a great guess there McGhee

Fair play to Glen, sounds like the better side won. Thanks for the updates Beo.
What a side.
Best thing to come out of Derry since Dana.
Fair play to them. They adapted to the conditions much better than us but we have no complaints. It's some record and I doubt if it'll ever even be matched never mind broken.

Was at the game and I don't think it would have mattered what conditions the match was played in . The superior team won and would win every time against Silverbridge. But I do agree it is some record.
Well done To the Watties. Brilliant team. 3 in a row is massive.
It's only a matter of time to Glen win a senior championship in Derry even though they're still intermediate but they won't be intermediate for very long with this team. There could be a good few Glen lads on the Derry under 21 and senior panels very shortly. There already are quite a few with more to come.
Management have clearly done a serious job with this team and credit to the players who played the football.
The sky is the limit for this team.
Ballinderry men won't fancy competing with this outfit in a year or two.

Does anyone know how many of these Glen lads play for St Pats Maghera ? They went the whole way last year back boned by the Glen lads.

Glen had 8 starters in last years Hogan final. This year I would expect 5/6 starters for Maghera.

The backbone of the team last year was a Lavey man at full back, a Glen man at CHB, a Bellaghy and Swatragh man at mid field, a Glenullin man at CHF and a Glen man at CF in a two man inside line, the team was not back boned by Glen men, there were a 7 Glen men on the team, the main players from Glen was Tallon and Glass

Lol....if 8 starters in a Hogan final doesn't constitute to back boning a side I dunno what does!
It all depends on your definition of the back bone of the team. No doubt that Glen had eight players started the team, but for me the main players (the back bone) who led the team to the Hogan were Kearney, Cassidy, Tallon, Glass, Bradley, Hughes and Mc Cloy.

Valid point and it's unlikely any club has supplied that number of starters in a Hogan final.
Can't see them scaling the same heights this year!

Wouldn't be so sure, I see Glass and Tallon are still there this year and Mulholland got an all star this year. Although they have a tough draw in the Mac Rory!
