the creggan goalkeeper oisin kerr I think that's his name is a strong goal keeper also defiantly upto that standard, Nugent should be number 1 IMO with young Hasson competing

Oisin is the best Keeper in Antrim without a shadow of a doubt. Was on the county panel a few years ago and was sub to Kerr. Has a young family now can't see him committing to Antrim

St Brigids u21 champions after a good win over Dunloy today.

What happened with flood lights?

Aho hoy

'I see st teresas/davitts/rossa took some tanking tonight'

They sure did. Some of their players behaviour was disgusting but not unexpected thankfully we kpet our heads.

Roll on Saturday where we will play our toughest test to date agaisnt a good St Brigids side

Any idea of Venue?

In your statement all 15 are dual players that's incorrect as I'm pretty sure Daithi McGuigan didn't play hurling for your minors this year.

You're either a 17 year old looking to talk about Bellaghy all the time, a parent of one of the kids or their coach or something. You won the game. Well done. Don't be a bad winner.

Bellaghy are amazing. They beat a good Dunloy team. Bellaghy are class. Dunloy should bow to their superiority. Bellaghy are strong. Dunloy aren't as good as them.

There you go. What you want everyone to say really.

And me from Slaughtneil too?? So Iv no allegiance to any of the 2 sides just merely stating facts Farset. Something a lot of people on here can't!

You know the names of some Dunloy U16s ffs all the way from Slaughtneil (or so you say). That's a bit weird for an adult.

Far a start I went to St Pats in Maghera which the lad I mentioned attends. Your also forgetting that the antrim minor hurling league includes the likes of SNeil , dungiven , Swatragh and screen etc so I'd know a good few players From antrim under age club teams. Your again presuming I'm an adult? I'm 19. You love to presume Farset

OK but at 19 you are an adult 🤔

Correct at 19 I am an adult. Although in your previous statement your making me out to a be 60 yo peado out watching u16 hurlers. Far from the case

Told you boys Bellaghy wouldent be a push over. Lorcan Brady and Paul Cassidy hard stooped and Conleth McShane that attacking threat from half back! Dunloy never looked liked even shaping and if it wasn't for a penalty that was scored by a rebound it would of been embarrassing for them. Bellaghy should go on and win it now in fairness but cross will take a stopping too. Dunloy probably weakest side in it.

we were beat, and well beat at that, by the team that will probably win the competition. they are a very good team and have 5 derry minors in their squad and were well worth their win.

our boys looked exhausted in the final 15 mins, something of which was pointed out to me as well by Bellaghy supporters i was standing with watching the match. that was their first competitive game since their county final where as we have had a multitude of games. one of our lads told me sat evening when i asked him was he looking forward to Sunday that he was knackered and sore. they now have another game Wednesday night to play in.

i know people will say things like its a good complaint to have or your victims of your own success but at some point there has to be some sort of common sense that looks at the timing of events like the U21 football so as it doesn't be run off during the middle of the ulster minor hurling and football competitions.

all 15 of our minors are dual players and some of them are U16's so they have played for 4 teams for the duration of this season. i just feel that all our championships need run off before the schools start back again so that young players are actually given a break.

I understand and sympathise with yourselves! A great Bellaghy team as you say who will more than likely win the competition and riddled with Derry minors and coming form successful MacRory teams in St Pats Maghera and St Mary's Magherafelt. Tired legs begin to show towards the end as you said and just looked that wee bit sluggish but no mean feat getting to ulster it's a big achievement and well done to Dunloy. Your game on Wednesday eve will be a great game and would fancy yourselves to progress to the final it's a pity there is no Ulster tournament to see what that group of lads would be like against the best u21 sides in ulster.

You sound a bit like a bad winner. You came on here solely to talk about Bellaghy and Dunloy a week or so ago. At least you'll now head off to the Armagh thread (if you haven't already been there).

We'll done Bellaghy Wolfe Tones and hard luck to the proud young men of Dunloy.

In no way a bad winner? I'm literally pointing out my prediction from the middle of the week? I didn't no that was exactly a crime but sure. Very much so hard luck to dunloy I'm sure they trained hard and prepared well for the game but it didn't pan out. I'm sure they will be strong on the minor count come Wednesday night at u21 game

I'm surprised NE pulled out of the u21 B. After all they played in B (intermediate) Championship against "legitimate" B standard teams while playing Div 1. Pure arrogance.

Nail on the head

Intermediate is not a 'b' championship I'm afraid. Junior is not a 'c' championship either

I think you'll find it is! If you can play senior league you can play senior championship! An intermediate is a B championship me man! And the fact your arguing the fact makes it even worse. It looks bad playing senior league and dropping to a lower championship! Yes Banagher were the best intermediate team in Derry but they played in intermediate league and championship to regain senior status for 2019.

A) Senior
B) Intermediate
C) Junior

Yeah they are an impressive side and have had plenty of their lads in the Derry squads this past few years. Backed by the U16's who are also very strong they are a tough team and one that could go the distance.

the most of our lads all play hurling as well and have probably played more games compared to Bellaghy since they won Derry which could give us a slight edge there in terms of match sharpness but look everythings a bonus at this stage to us.

Won't have said match fitness is going to be a difference as hurling and football are 2 different games.. dungiven gave yous a schooling in ulster minor hurling final and the man That did the damage can only hurl off 1 side so that theory I don't believe although I believe your minors are well represented in your u21 set up.. will be tight but can see them taking it in the end up

What way do you folks think the Bellaghy v Dunloy Minor game will turn out this weekend?

Bellaghy will be the favs for the game and rightly so. they have been producing serious teams this past year and should really of had 2 in a row this year.

their U16's should of won derry this year to be fair so they do have a good strong line of good footballers coming through.

We will give them a good game of that ive no doubt. Love to see us upset the odds and get a win in this competition.

Be a good tight game , they have few good marquee forwards I think will be too much for your back line over 60 mins and a few good fast backs who like to attack although you's have a good forward or 2 and strong in midfield.

Saddo

[And felt the Scotstown red card decision was harsh.]

Come senior the fast flowing football that these u21 teams are showing will be worth nothing , when it comes to Senior football you play how your instructed and to a game plan , there no solo runs 50 yards are pinging points from the 50! Itl be worked into a better position and a shot from the 21! No team wants to shoot at senior level no more. Only player doing it this year was Rian O'Neill from Crossmaglen

Dunno if you watched Gall's v Cargin in SFC semi, but free flowing football with a lotta long range scores in abundance between arguably still the best two teams in the county.

And if you went to the final you'll have seen the score line of 5-4 and neither team wanting to shoot? Bar Tomas McCann wonder shot from the sideline mid second half. The games going to the dogs.
The ulster final was terrible yday, beggan could have won it 2/3 times for them and choked. And felt the Scotstown red card decision was harsh.

What?

Are you blind? Read what I said? Yes the tackle was high and clothesline like but the player was on the way down as he came in to tackle? It's another thing creeping into the game is boys ducking or going down At the smallest hint of a tackle and buying easy frees.

Jeez Derryman u are really a messenger of doom......

Maybe cause I talk some sense country bumpkin?

Then u are an imposter......not a Ferryman......lol

It's Derryman* not ferryman
