Derry Club Football & Hurling original

[Fr. Cyril McDuff]

Thanks for all the help.  There is very little out there regarding results like this, even on club pages etc.  Though I have to say the most comprehensive list of results for any club that I have checked so far is Watty Grahams.  They have results from games going back to 2009 - including date, opposition, venue, scoreline, competition.  This includes underage and camogie fixtures as well.  Whereas most clubs haven't retained an individual website and just moved everything to social media (facebook, twitter, Instagram etc), they seem to have maintained an excellent website.

Back to the minor finals:

For 2010 to 2019, I have the two finalists, scorelines and venues.
For 2000 to 2009, I have all the winners, I have the finalists and scorelines for 2004-2007 inclusive.  I have the finalists for 2000, 2001, 2003, and 2009.  I've the venue for the 2005 final. I'm missing the rest of the scorelines and the finalists in 2002 and 2008 – Ballinderry won both.
For 1990 to 1999, I have all the winners and most of the finalists.  Missing the defeated teams from
1990 – Dungiven won
1991 – Bellaghy won
1993 – Loup won
1995 – Loup won
1996 – Ballinderry won - beat Dungiven, don't know score or venue
Don't have any of the scorelines or venues.
So far I've only gone as far back as 1987 and I have the winners and finalists from '87 to '89.

I did not consider Enda Lynn,Michael McEvoy,Jason Rocks and Paul McNeill for  my first League side of 2020.All of them  are expected to be out for most of the season with long term injuries. 

I would of course expect that others such as the McWilliams twins,Shea Downey,Ben McKinless.Patrick Coney and Niall Toner would also be very much in the shake up for match day squads and will all be probably considered for staring berths in the McKenna Cup selections.

2 of those mentioned weren't asked into the squad. Hearing 2 or 3 lads have already dropped out that were in and the ever reliable Gareth McKindless has already gone awol.  Management teams should make it public who they asked so that there's not the usual gripping about fellas who should be in a squad when they were either asked and didn't commit or left the squad after committing.

2/3 of the men quoted by Cahir O'Kane in the Irish News a few weeks ago, said to have returned to the panel had never returned in the first place

Who?

Heavron/Holly for a start

Someone's given you bum-steer there Toby

84 Lavey beat Glenullin in Kilrea
87 glen beat screen
88 Swatragh won it, possibly beat Dungiven in final

That 84 result is actually the 1983 championship which was played on New Years day 1984 due to success of derry minors in 1983. Think result was 0-6 to 0-5 to Lavey, to stop Glenullin doing 3 in a row.

Ironically 10 years later, the 1993 senior championship was played on New Years day 1994 due to the success of Derry Seniosr in 1993. Again Lavey won this, beating Swatragh on a snow covered pitch in Glenullin.

Could be right, was Baltic i remember that anyway

[imtommygunn]

I vaguely remember that game - I think Boxing day too...

100% BOXING DAY

ulster club minor final is on at St Pauls every 1st January

[Champion The Wonder Horse]

Definitely St Stephen's Day.

I think part of the delay was down to protests, appeals and counter appeals about the first round match between Ballinderry and Newbridge. Originally fixed for Glenullin under lights, Newbridge unilaterally decided not to turn up, so Ballinderry claimed the game. Bridge and county board didn't have a leg to stand on, but appeals process had to be exhausted. Ballinderry allegedly offered to play the game, if they were awarded the title from 1982. They weren't, so they didn't. Hence the late final.

Or I could be mistaken.

[dec]

1993 was the year Derry won the All Ireland so the club championship was probably late starting

It was, but the reason for the late finish was not solely due to that.

[imtommygunn]

What happened in the ulster club? Just no representatives?

I think the previous years champions, Lavey, were nominated.
