Seen O'Hara playing a couple of times this year, very impressive each time. Looks like a good prospect for Derry seniors in the near future.

Did St Colman's send anyone to the trials ? Hard to believe with their track record that they would have no-one capable of winning a football all-star.

    Trust me he is certainly good enough. He has been injured this past while. He missed the mc Cormick final and maybe a few group games. Perhaps that killeavy man 'Yellowcard' could clarify?


Now Walter please do NOT tar me with that brush, they are merely neighbours and rivals. I don't know what the situation was but yeah your right he was injured for the McCormack final so he possibly missed trials (though I'm not sure). I don't know much about the quality of the other 6 forwards on the All Star team but I'd be very surprised if O'hanlon isn't among the top 6 in Ulster considering he was asked onto the Armagh SENIOR panel both last year and this year. 



Watched the St.Pauls / St. Colmans game on Destintation Newry and O'Hanlon was definitely not the outstanding forward player on the pitch. In fact had to check he was actually on the pitch - don't understand all the hype around this lad. Placing a lot of pressure on young shoulders.

Must not have been good enough!

St Pauls v Abbey CBS should be a great game. St. Pauls on group form will start as favourites but I believe the Abbey are better than they have shown so far as they have a couple of key players back to full fitness now and a few quality players who have moved to the Abbey from other schools this year are now pushing hard for starting places. St. Pats Maghera still look to be the team to beat with so many players from the impressive Watty's minor team among their ranks.

Have to say Watty's were very impressive, although Warrenpoint team were average at best, their midfielders/center half back didn't mark or track their men and they played down the one side of the pitch, very predictable.Suppose you can only beat what's put in front of you. Should be a good final between Watty's and Killeavey assuming they both come through their semi's.

Killeavy must fancy their chances with the kind draw they received. They beat Warrenpoint easily in a friendly this year and the margin Watty's beat Warrenpoint by will give them a good yardstick to size up Watty's for the final.Off course I am assuming there will be no shock results!!!

Although Glen are worthy favourites for the Ulster title, Warrenpoint could prove to be a banana skin. In the Down championship they were the underdogs in every match they played but kept producing the goods when needed and have a few tasty players . They too like the Tyrone team have a lot of lads available next year, 13 of the starting 15 I believe. On paper Glen should be comfortable victors but you never know football is a funny old game at times!
