was told last night that we play Rossa in the semi finals? not sure how true that is at this stage. anyone else heard the draw

Cuchullian's v O D Ross's

and

Kickham's Creggan v St Brigid's

Do we forget Michael Mc Cann was the recipient of a replacement All Star award and a couple of Ulster's.....and he is still in his prime...

When was this?

Replacement All Star in 2010....
Ulster's in 09, 10.

If we are talking best footballers of their generation then Sean Kelly and Mick Mc Cann are up there in that elite bracket...

Put Mick McCann on Sean Kelly though and what happens?

Mick McCann by far and away the best player of his generation.

I would have said sean kelly. Stood out even at sigerson which is rare to see

As I remember Stimson's was an amalgamation of two junior clubs to make up a juvenile entity.....participating in S West juvenile competition to minor level only....
Such was certainly successful as the lads who participated within the ranks ensured the health of their parent clubs underlined by their respective current well being.
Both Casement's and St Mary's are strong senior clubs based in the top division.

I remember a team made up of 2 SW clubs which won a few minors.. god strange how the memory fades

The 11th commandment is thou shalt not slag off Belfast clubs or MR will get p***ed off

Sean Stinsons was slightly different - there was never a portglenone or ahoghill team to leave in those days to go to sean stinsons so you lpayed for stinsons from a young age. Also it was an independent entity as opposed to playing for another club.

It happens in the country too - you could rhyme off maybe 5 - 10 boys of some kind of profile. I think quite a few were fallings out mind but even still it happens. It just seems a bit more prevalent in the city.

Goes a bit far when a serious div one team supplements with players from a club from the top division as well as a couple from lower divisions.....?

The 'sanction' is a relatively new development and one which has never been utilised at Cargin or at any, or very few from South West
Surely an amalgamation of several clubs at under-21 level to include a couple from the first division ensures a big advantage.
Are we to anticipate a time in the future when Cargin, Creggan, and Moneyglass for example will ditch individual identities and pride within and get together for an attempt at short term gain..?

'Got to include Tir na Nog......beat Dunloy in last year's B final and Creggan on the way'

You sure do they were impressive against us in final last year and blitzed Cargan in group game this year. They play the same system with U21 and Senior and it works for them.

they were good against us but to be fair we didnt play as well as we should have. got unlucky with a shot that hit the bar, bounced down and out only for them to go up the pitch and score.

thems the breaks i suppose but never the less they are still a good outfit.

The Randalstown lads have lost nobody from last year....a big complement of 'seniors' included and they were very close to winning promotion.....cute management...

is that's the case then surely aghagallon should be considered as favourites, have a very young squad more than holding their own in div 1. plus their minors won the league. plus they have some amount of lads with Hogan cup medals in their back pocket

Of course Agjagallon are contenders but they were brushed aside by Dunloy in round one and had to rely of a 1-03 total without reply in the last few minutes to gain a narrow win over Moneyglass.......

Well done to St Endas, Ulster final

And well done to Fitzy and Pat......

A club that used their money wisely and managed to represent Antrim well 

Seems you do have problems with some individuals and clubs.....does your unashamed prejudice reflect in 'decisions made', I wonder.....

Does it come across in your write ups for the games? Your prejudice is rooted from unashamed jealousy, you're rude obnoxious and frankly very predictable.

If you ever spoke to me like you did after the Cargin Lamhs game in the street you get a proper response.

As for me refereeing I don't see clubs I ref the game, this is were you'd fail miserably as you're hatred is deep rooted

Thanks a lot for your comments......such will be taken on board and carefully considered.

Well done to St Endas, Ulster final

We'd better not get into covered stands then. Not one in the county.



It takes a hell of a lot of work to put proper facilities in place and maybe we have to ask ourselves if we really do have the same passion for GAA as there are in other counties.

Take a wee trip to Toome BS......find the passion...
