Serious precedence being set here by county board. The rule has always been that match stays as it unless the 2 teams agree to a new date/time. Clogher and Eskra are well within their rights to refuse to move. Why are county board moving one match and not the other, neither should be moved especially when you consider the match isn't even on the day of the wedding. Where does this stop? Stag do's, fundraising nights etc...seems that clubs can expect to get matches moved due to similar reasons...could make a mockery of the season before it even starts.

The fact he took a training session on Saturday in Derry may suggest otherwise.

Yet another accident today between Strabane and Derry!

3 more dead today with a couple more critical, enough is enough. Like 99% of people from Tyrone and those who use this road, I'm just tired talking/arguing about this. A5 Alliance should hang their heads in shame, we know that they won't though. This needs sorted and sorted very quickly!

Ah jaysus Clarshak come off it. I'll give you a bye for talking the Cavan team up as they turned out to be tough but to say that this Glasgow team is the equivalent of a division 1 team I don't think so! The travelling and playing in Scotland are factors I'll give you that but Stewartstown will win comfortably. Is there many from the club going over?

Clarshak has gone full Jim Gavin. AGAIN 😴
Probably best to ignore at this stage

Their goalkeeper is from Naas, right corner back from Ballinascreen, full back from Clonduff, other players from the likes of Ballyhaise, Enniskillen Gaels etc. All from good clubs in their own county.
We are now missing 3 key forwards from the Tyrone final and it will be played on their home pitch which is 3G. They destroyed Dunedin in the Scottish final and Dunedin had been getting some decent results at this stage over the last 6 years or so. I would happily take a 1pt win.

Have to agree with you Clarshak, the 3 lads will be a massive loss at this stage. Think you'd have won Ulster at a canter with the 2 missing lads. Credit to the lads stepping up but definitely a lot weaker without 3 very key players. Still think you'll have enough for next week but would love to see you with a full compliment for next stages.

Barney Gormley is the Head of PE there now so think that's where the push is coming from

Barney Gormley has been head of PE there for the past 20+ years

Any recommendations on where to stay if traveling over to a game?

Finsbury Park area seems handy (and relatively cheap)....but heards it's a v dodgy area?

Depends what you want? Are you just going for the match or are you making a weekend out of it? For just a match, Travelodge Finsbury is grand. Not much around it although 12 Pins pub is just around the corner. Finsbury can be dodgy enough at night.  If you want a bit of nightlife, stay in Angel, there's a Hilton, Doubletree and a premier inn surrounded by bars and restaurants. Only a short bus ride to Emirates. If your going for the weekend, you could stay virtually anywhere in London. Emirates is very well serviced by the tube, so there's no problem staying in Camden, Russell Square etc and getting the tube in for the match.

Brutal to watch. Can't imagine the players are happy playing that style.

Don't post here often but looking for a bit of advice on how to improve my 5k time. Pb is 21 but looking to get consistently sub 20.

My weekly routine is 4 days ~10k, 1 day ~20k, 1 rest day and 1 day 5k.

I guess I'm probably running too much if my aim is to improve 5k? Also do a bit of weights machines for the legs and a bit of other cardio.

Appreciate any advice, thanks.

You need to improve your leg speed/turnover. One interval or hill session a week will help greatly. Loads online for you. Throw in hills into your longer runs as well which will strengthen your legs. 5ks are painful if run correctly so get the right frame of mind before a race, as someone said race someone that's a little faster than you, when you beat them, move onto someone else.

Copied this, a good summary of this case.

Noah Donohoe left home on his bike Father's Day Sunday June 21st 2020, a warm sunny evening, approximately 5.30pm to make the journey across the city to meet with friends, to work on his Duke of Edinburgh award at Cavehill Country Park. It was a route he knew well, having taken it many times to and from his school at St Malachy's College on the Antrim Rd. Something would occur however, along Royal Avenue in the City Centre, which would cause Noah to change that well known route and instead of turning left @ Donegal St, cause him to continue on past Ulster University towards the Shore Rd, a part of the city unknown to him. Despite Royal Ave having over 180 CCTV cameras, only 22 would later be checked by PSNI to try to piece together his final journey and even more bizarre, none would pick up Noah . A witness statement would later be made claiming an attack on Noah with photographic evidence, on Royal Ave by 4 men, 1 of whom knew of Noah as his girlfriend resided in a hostel yards away from his home in South Belfast and is furthermore seen on CCTV watching him leave his home a short time earlier. This same man would also claim to 'find' Noah's backpack containing his laptop & books(clearly labelled with Noah's name) at the Ulster University ( though no CCTVfootage has ever shown either Noah drop his belongings here or indeed said man finding them here). An anonymous tip off would claim to see these possessions, along with Noah's North Face coat, still missing to this day, being paraded for sale at a house party in Skegoneil just off the Shore Rd by the same man, whilst the search for Noah took place just metres away. Despite a member of staff at Cash Converters calling police the following day to report a male & female entering the premises and attempt to sell a laptop, it would be days before the PSNI would visit their addresses. Noah's laptop would be found at the woman's hostel, claiming she was looking after it for the male. Neither their properties would be searched, forensics carried out or neither taken in for questioning. Noah is picked up on CCTV cycling along North Queen St/ York Rd at 6.01pm Sunday evening. A witness would see Noah fall from his bike moments before, dispose of his North face coat before quickly getting back on his bike and cycling on. The last sighting of Noah was minutes later on Northwood Rd. He can be  seen on CCTV naked and visibly in distress, running behind 2 houses. He then disappears, never to be seen alive again. Residents who claimed to have seen Noah all said they assumed it was a "Father's Day prank" and not one would go to assist a naked, distressed Noah. His naked body would be found 6 days later 950m deep inside an obscure storm drain, very few from the area knew existed behind houses on Northwood Rd. Before Noah's body was examined at autopsy, PSNI put out that they suspected "No Foul Play" and so the narrative was born that Noah died of misadventure and that he acted willingly and completely alone, the whole part of his journey. This theory was quickly questioned by his mother Fiona, who raised serious concerns about the PSNI's handling of her son's investigation. After the cause of death was recorded as drowning, it emerged that no water samples were preserved from the drain Noah apparently died, to compare with that in his lungs. This would either prove or disprove that he had indeed died in the drain. The drain area would never be forensically checked, and his family have queried why the only visible marks on Noah's body when found was a 16cm in diameter bump on his forehead. One would imagine that Noah having climbed his way the equivalent of 4 football pitches in pitch dark through a dirty storm drain, he would acquired significant scratches. Furthermore only his hands & feet would have water damage despite apparently laying in a drain which fills & empties twice daily, for 6 days. Why were bin lorries allowed up the street Noah was last seen, while a major search continued? Why were various witness statements discounted? Why was Community Search & Rescue sent up Cavehill when Noah was last seen in Northwood? Why did time stamps on the last CCTV footage of Noah change 3 times and most worrying of all, why has a Public Interest Immunity Certificate just been signed off concealing hundreds of pages of information relating to his death? It has only just been disclosed to Fiona that police after receiving intelligence on 27th June, had planned to search houses on Premier Drive & Northwood Rd. That very same day however, his body coincidentally would be found in the drain. PII's have been used here historically to protect identities of informants and strategies of police investigations, however the only other one ever used in a case involving a child was in that of  15yr old Arlene Arkinson. Robert Howard, a police informant, pedophile & child serial killer would be protected and cleared of her murder through the granting of PII. Howard would then go on to murder another child in England, before being brought to justice there. So the big question is, if Noah is the only one involved in Noah's death, why the need to conceal information? That information belongs to Fiona. To this day she still hasn't been told exactly when Noah died. It is her right as Noah's mother to know of his final days/hours, no matter what that was and those involved in his death to be brought to justice. Noah represents all of our children
and quite easily could have been. Which is why we all must stand in solidarity with her against PII on Saturday 13th August. If you can make it, please do. If we tolerate this, any of our children could be next!

As said before you can't fart in public without it being on tik tok or WhatsApp 5 minutes later yet no footage of this young kid supposedly riding a bike naked?

As far as I'm aware Fiona has seen footage from CCTV (unsure if it was CCTV, doorbell or car camera) of Noah running naked up the side of the house so there is confirmation that he was naked. I take your point though regarding no footage on social media. There's a llot of strange occurrences in this case, allowing a public enquiry or indeed even letting the family know in detail how and why they believe they know what happened would clear a lot up.
