Congrats to the footballers - fantastic performance in what has been a great week for the big ball in the county.

Congrats also to our Longstone native who has achieved 3 consecutive relegations with 3 different counties. Takes some beating that but yet he still spoofs his way into jobs.

Some performance and win by the minor footballers today. Well done Benny and his back room team. Derry will be difficult in the final but it is a winnable game to put much needed silverware on the table.

Quote from: Truth hurts on March 21, 2024, 08:35:25 AMA good point for the u20s.Clare women travel to Teconnaught on Sunday at 2 pm. Clare men travel to Newry on Sunday at 2 pm. Why can't this be a doubleheader?



Two different organisations/associations (for now) - who gets the gate money? Pitches are atrocious at present with many club teams struggling to get onto their own little patch - playing two games in succession would simply not work.

Leaving the Dub tonight a very happy man. What a performance by the u20 team and management tonight - brilliant. Rode their luck at times but after the results of the previous round - EVERYONE could only see a Tyrone victory by a mammoth margin. Our lads stood tall and worked their socks off throughout. Let's hope this is the catalyst for this group going forward.
Well done 👏

Still undefeated. But that was a difficult watch today. Game changed when Mooney went off imo. Thought when we got the goal we would push on but we were very rushed in our efforts today in front of the posts. Gilmore looked rusty and Mason the same. More game time for these lads is a must in the coming weeks before the championship kicks off.

I see the result but was anyone at the U20 game today?? Were they 8 points the better team or just pull away at the end?

Quote from: Targetman on March 05, 2024, 11:10:48 PMSo it won't look so bad when he names himself at full forward in the next match!!
I could live with that to be honest. Played against our seconds last week - masterful. Intelligence is top drawer but pace has waned..

So we have john McGovern on the panel - a great player - but didn't play a minute of Gaelic football for his club last year in league let alone championship. Now we have potentially Clarke coming in who has played minimal minutes of Gaelic football in the last few years.. Why is Laverty doing this?

What about that absolute display from Doherty today... he was unbelievable from start to finish in a game that was over after 15 minutes.
Credit also to the midfield pairing. Just shows we can cope without Murdock if needs be. Let's hope we don't have to though.
Bring on Westmeath.

RIP Dan McCartan - a legend in our county

Plenty to be done in their own clubs surely - but could you be bothered listening to the parents (if taking an underage team) or the patrons who go to senior games?? In their day everything was much better and no matter what you do it's never enough. I can't blame people going out and broadening their horizons in other places/counties. If they are getting "expenses" fair enough - although Jarlath is going to put a stop to that apparently...

Last night was concerning absolutely. There was a 15 minute spell we cud not live with them. But they missed the vital scores and 3/4 goal chances which kept us looking comfortable. Ryan Johnston was excellent when introduced and hopefully can stay fit. Liam Kerr had a great game but yet again it was Pat Havern that was our best player. We literally could not do without him at present. Sligo next week should be accounted for easily and then 2 weeks to prepare for Westmeath which is the only real test we have in the league.

Any update on the Darragh Cross situation? No fixtures released until it's sorted apparently..

A fantastic performance today against a team we really struggled with last year. McGovern on panel is an exciting addition - must have realised Newry are going nowhere.
Big Pat was good, murdock, Daniel Guinness and Mooney worked fierce hard throughout.
Next Saturday is the focus now.

Turns out there are 7.. Ronan Connor from Saul the other player..
U20s not going too well at present. Haven't won any challenge games and have a seriously tough group in championship. It's mental how much club football these lads will miss with either the A championship or if not successful being put into the B.
