Ulster IFC and JFC Club Championships 2014

Good luck to Cootehill today. They have the potential to do well, just depends if they've got themselves out of the pub yet since they won the county title a few weeks ago.

Just about to leave Portglenone to head for Breffni. This is new territory for us so todays game should give us an idea where we are at. Cootehill have played at Breffni five times this year. I have no doubt that is a big advantage so they are probably favourites.

Are there any betting odds available for the Ulster Intermediate championship? After watching Warrenpoint's performance on Sunday and with one of their better players to come back in after suspension, I wouldn't mine getting a few quid on them to win Ulster.

Tyrone Clubs have won 3 of the last six titles and were runners up in another, plus two All-Ireland's. If Warrenpoint can overcome Dungannon then they will have a very realistic shot at the title. But that title attempt could be dead in the water next Sunday when a club from one of Ireland's strongest club intermediate championships comes calling to Newry.

i wouldn't be holding out any optimism until after the final whistle next Sunday, only then will we have any idea where Warrenpoint might be placed

I'd agree here. Dungannon are a very formidable opponent for Warrenpoint. They have come in under the radar a bit in Tyrone but anyone who has been following them in the past 12 months will have realised that they are a serious outfit who are progressing by the game. They won the intermediate Ulster league at the start of the year and have improved immensely since then, culminating in a demolition job on Trillick, who had they won that game would most likely be favourites for the Ulster title. By all accounts Warrenpoint are a very good side but at this level there are no sure bets as the comparison between the standard of each county's championships is tough to make. That said, this has the makings of a cracking championship game and the winners will fancy themselves to have a decent run at it.

Keady won Armagh JFC today defeating Collegeland 2-10 to 0-6.

Cootehill beat Roger Casements 0-13 to 1-5. Close enough at half time, Cootehill pulled away in the second half. Antrim men got a late goal to but a better look on the result.

Cootehill beat us handy enough. Very little wastage from them and got plenty of pace where it matters. A decent team that definitely should not be underestimated. Good luck to them.

The draw for the Quarter Finals of the Donegal Intermediate Football Championship was made this afternoon.....

Does this mean the Ulster IFC will be held up?

Donegal IC due to play Castledawson on 2nd November. I guess that isn't possible now. But how big will the delay be?

if the Donegal QF only takes place this week, semi on Nov 2nd, final on No 9th, then they could only play the Ulster QF on Nov 16th leaving a semi-final to be played on Nov 23rd and the final the week after. That is very unfair on teams on that side of the draw.

[drici]

Donegal have been allowed a one week delay to have a team ready to play in the Senior and Intermediate Championships on the 9th of November.  Can't see this being extended.

Donegal have been allowed a one week delay to have a team ready to play in the Senior and Intermediate Championships on the 9th of November.  Can't see this being extended.

So Donegal must play their QF this weekend and then fit in two more rounds within about ten days to be ready to play the Match against Castledawson on 9th November. Which means playing four matches over two weeks. They didn't help themselves did they?

What was the reason for the delay with the intermediate?

Kerry the other finalist had their final yesterday.
