I know DCU are top class at Sigerson level but this result really caught my eye.

That offers some explanation as to why they were so poor

How is Marty Clarke getting on nowadays?
If you were any use you'd be playing.

Ta lad. There was a time when I knew 3/4s of the Queens time but not anymore

Am I getting old or are they just not as high profile anymore?

GetOverTheBar

Same when I was at Uni, Queens were far more superior than UUJ. Looks to have reversed now. It definitely lacks the household names that most of the top Uni's have these days.

Virtually none of that Queens team is County standard... which in truth is how it should be

Well not entirely, but I get your point. Certainly, if there was a 4 year eligibility cap, as suggested above, then the % of county players would be much lower across the board.

I'm surprised they even got 0-3

IT Sligo took care of GMIT by 3-13 to 2-7. Tough one next up away to UCD.

IT Sligo are home to UCD next week. Still very tough to see them winning it.

There was a couple of County players not released to play in the Sigerson  for Queens, apparently https://t.co/PN346YxnBJ
