who all played well? didnt get to the game. listened to it on the radio. the only players to play well seemed to be mc cann, cunningham as usual, murray and kerr the goalkeeper.

The full back line were roasted.
In the half back line Murray done ok driving forward

Midfield were cleaned out, don't think Burke touched the ball although Gallagher came into it late on when the game was dead.

Up front Tomas and Cunningham hit some nice scores when McCloy was marking them but neither could get anything from the other Derry defenders.

Poor performance overall.

What I heard was that the FB line did well, considering that we were being cleaned out in the middle third.

FB line will always struggle if the supply of ball coming in is good

Not really surprising that they were being cleaned out, we were down to 14 men and Bradley still saw fit to continue to play the sweeper for the last 15 mins of the first half. May as well have been playing with 13!! 2 extra derry men left our boys having to work twice as hard to win anything, thats bound to really take it out of you.

Moneyglass Cargin Cargin
St Galls Rasharkin St Galls

Aghagallon Ahoghill Draw
Any predictions lads?

agree with most apart from rasharkin beating st galls.

Pat Mustard · April 13, 2011, 12:31:11 PM

Those weren't my actual predictions, I just forgot to delete from my copying and pasting off the county website. Will do it right now.

Aghagallon 3-11 Ahoghill 1-12

I think it finished up. Good win for Aghagallon in their first game in Div 1

Moneyglass 0-16 v 0-9 Cargin
Creggan 0-15 v 0-10 Lamh Dhearg
St Brigids 1-12 v 1-15 St Johns
Aghagallon 3-11 v 1-12 Ahoghill St. Marys

Slight upset in Cargin being beaten by such a margin by neighbours.

Aren't they on the border near Armagh?? Played once or twice there

fitzroyalty · April 13, 2011, 08:58:19 PM

Aye a few mile from Lurgan. Think they play St Gall's next.

imtommygunn · April 13, 2011, 09:01:59 PM

Three upsets there. Didn't realise Aghagallon were in division 1 though they've been much better over the last ten years or so at underage than they used to be.

Moneyglass will fairly celebrate that win. Wouldn't have expected the Johnnies to beat St Brigids. I wonder is Loughrey playing?

Good win for Creggan too.

Pat Mustard · April 13, 2011, 09:54:22 PM

Good win for Aghagallon. I'd imagine Cargin were missing Scullion, M McCann, Crozier and O'Boyle so I doubt Moneyglass will celebrate too much. Rasharkin beat St Galls by a bagful, what's going on there?

Milltown Row2 · April 13, 2011, 10:17:24 PM

3-11 to 0-7

Rasharkin for the Antrim title after that result, oh wait didn't the Johnnies beat us in our fist game last year?

Wasn't at the match so cant comment but fair old beating anyway.

Simon Says · April 14, 2011, 10:47:53 AM

I hear st galls had a poor team out, with injured boys having to strip out. wouldnt read too much into their league results. Just read about scullion though today in the paper, sounds nasty. miss the donegal match perhaps? michael mc cann out for a long time. Cargin seem like they will be in trouble.
