Quote from: rory on October 30, 2023, 08:09:03 PMDoes anyone know when the grade A minor championship will be played out. It looks like it's only at the semi final stages.

No fixtures scheduled so far. Was the Trillick-Dromore Q-final game ever replayed? Imagine it was held back with Trillick's Championship run

Grade 2 championship finally getting their semi finals on Saturday and this Tuesday.

At this rate, the leagues will still be running in December.

Did the various appeals/hearings go in Trillicks favour?
Wouldn't have been 2 many minors on their panel. They would hardly hold back until after Ulster Club.


The Ulster club minor starts on the 9th December. Will Tyrone even have a representative?

NZ must be clear favourites now. South Africa's tank well and truly emptied, and lots of personnel decisions to be made on who starts next week

Surely it's time for the annual "How the f@#k do the Kerry Championships work" discussion

Darragh Canavan forearm smash to the head after he lost the ball was a lot more dangerous than what o'neill did. If one is a red, the other should be

Kerry forwards very good at fouling the Armagh men coming out. Slows the attack down. Smart play.

Is it a bad thing though?

I remember when I was a minor (way, way back) going to London for 6-7 weeks mid summer and missing 1 game. There's probably some compromise here between these two extremes, but Gaelic football is its best when it's a summer sport. Fill the summer months I say.

Fill the summer months is right. But the way the calendar is this year, over half of the u17, 15 and 13 kids in the county will play their last game of the year at the start of August with 3 or 4 weeks of the summer left. In previous years most kids would be playing championship group games til near the end of August.

Is it me or are championships getting earlier? Underage championships have begun already and premier reserves and reserve championships down to the last 8.

It's just you, when do you want them played

You're right Truth Hurts. The underage championships all seem to be about a month earlier than usual. Quarters and semis in August and finals very early in September. Gonna cause some teams real headaches with kids away on holidays, gaekteacht etc. No idea why the calendar was changed, the reason the knock out games were usually played in September was to avoid this.

Unfortunately, if the Tory c#nt Boris is removed, he will be replaced by another Tory c#nt. Nothing will change until the next General election. And probably not even then

Would the lack of success at St Colmans indicate not all is well in Down football? Abbey never produced but been a while since Colmans won anything of sort.

The presentation of the 2019/20 Danske Bank MacRory Cup has taken place with the winning captains from St Patrick's Maghera and St Colman's Newry. The Final had been rescheduled to take place earlier this month, but a decision was taken to cancel this owing to the current public health situation. As a result, the trophy was shared between the two finalists. 🤔

Bad state of affairs when Colmans are clinging on to a shared trophy. I'd seriously doubt they'd have beat a star studded Maghera side (back boned Derry minor AI winning team). I can't remember when they last won a Rannafast or Corn na Nog.

St colman's won the 19/20 Rannafast and went on to win the All Ireland.

If the final electoral college numbers are close, faithless electors could come in to play.

Clinton lost 5 in 2016 and Trump lost 2.

So anyone fancy a prediction. I really think Trump will win with maybe one state less than last time. Polls seem to be tightening and recent history shows that the polls skew left.
Hope I'm wrong but I fear 4 more years of Trump.
