Sigerson 2017

[ck]

Just kicking off the 2017 competition.
Draw due to be made this week. Jordanstown are Ryan Cup champions so will begin as favs. They have an embarrassment of riches as usual as do DCU.

Looking forward to the draw.

I wouldn't call the DCU pick right now an embarssment of riches. Around 10 of last years sigerson cup team have finished their studies and replaced with alot of last years freshers.

Steven O'Brien,Rory Connor,Ultan Harney were three notable players that didn't play in the Ryan cup final so they did well to bring UUJ to extra time.

DCU have a heep of really good young footballers of college age. They're just a good college side, far removed from their excesses four or five years ago.

UUJ have a heep of IC senior mercs brought in because they're being given a more-than-full ride. Hope to fûck they fall flat on their arses yet again.

Masters in psychology.

Probably one of the only GAA competitions I'd have almost zero interest in

UUJ policy of chasing big name players continues on eh?

Apart from the players who play in it no one really gives a damn about it in fairness.

Murphy isn't in UUJ. He was going to that course but didn't pursue with it.



UUJ will not have Donegal ace Michael Murphy available to them for their upcoming Sigerson Cup campaign.

The big Glenswilly man is understood to have registered for a masters in psychology at the Jordanstown campus, but has now opted not to pursue it and is now focused on getting himself fully fit for the Tir Chonaill men's 2017 campaign, according to manager Rory Gallagher.

"We're obviously delighted that we'll have Michael based full-time in Donegal," Gallagher is quoted saying in The Irish News.

"It's obviously better than if he was spending a couple of days a week in Belfast. Michael had an interest in the course but, when he weighed it up against the commitments to his shop and to ourselves, he decided not to pursue it."

Murphy, who runs his own business in Letterkenny, helped Donegal reach this year's Ulster SFC final before picking up a knee injury in an All County League game and returning to inspire his native club to the Donegal SFC title.

It says something terrible about an amateur sport that it was the deciding factor in a lad furthering his education. Murphy isn't going to be able kick leather over the bar all his life.

Did you miss the part about him running his sports shop? Perhaps THAT was the main motivating factor?

Plus, if ever a player needed a break from football, its him.
