LD are certainly not a spent force. Still more than capable of getting a result against anyone on any given Sunday

There definitely seems to be a very high percentage of reserve games get called off. My own club had many games cancelled on us.

Hopefully something can be done to address whatever the problem is, because the absence of reserve football leaves a massive jump between minor football and senior football.

Out of interest, are there any rules in particular that seem to be commonly misunderstood by the players?

I see that The Saffron Gael have made an appeal to clubs for financial support. This is a first class resource for GAA supporters within the county and shame on any club not giving it their support. The county board and the likes of SBF should be putting their full weight behind it too. Would be a massive loss to supporters if it were to become unsustainable.

Honest question, is there genuine resentment towards Portglenone club and for what reason? Or is it just to wind up Bannside?
As an outsider they seem to be a decent club who have made big progress in the last few years and try to do things the right way.

Can someone please enlighten me as to what a 'WUM' is? Possibly showing my age here

Speedy recovery to both Benen Kelly and Ryan Convery. Both class acts. It's easy to forget the level of sacrifice and commitment that our amateur players put in

The majority of the PG1 men have been on a players stag do and only got home late last night.

I expect Erin's Own to win this one handy enough.

Div 1 predictions

LD v St Endas - Home win 4+
TNN v NB - Away win 1+
Creggan v MG - Away win 1+
Cargin v ODR- Home win 5+
Galls v Aghagallon- Away win 2+
PG1 v NE - Draw

Has the Clooney Vs Creggan result not stood?

Wasn't Matthew BS he is on the Derry panel. Think it was Calum

Jeez take more than a few Downeys to win a senior championship ffs...
Those who believe toddle over to Paddy Power and grab the 10/1on offer....

Paddy pays little attention to this board.....

I wouldn't be so quick to underestimate them come Championship. I believe they have been performing well below their potential for a number of years. They have a few boys (example: the Finnegan twins) who seemed to raised their game too. Add a handful of quality players drafted in from Lavey to strengthen the line-up and they need to be taken seriously.

Having said that, it remains to be seen the impact drafting in a bunch of outsiders will have.

Are the county men permitted to play tonight?

Here's a very interesting article about the actions Derry have taken that has led to their resurgence. https://bit.ly/3AQxVTQ

It contains a copy of Derry's "5 Year Strategic Coaching & Development Strategy" which started in 2021.

Do Antrim have a similar strategy in place? And if not, why not? It's time to start holding people accountable.
