Ulster Club IFC/JFC 2023

Armagh JFC final
Ballyhegan v Clann Éireann II

Ballyhegan to represent Armagh in Ulster then. Some going by CE seconds to make a final in their first year.

Not their first year. They fielded a IIs team about 8 years ago but only lasted a season or two. This year they've a few senior championship medalists in their ranks and got promotion from 3B so they've had a good return to Junior football. With the numbers they have they should really push on at this level.

Yes an in addition to that would have a few ex county minors to supplement that.

Is that a 2nd or 3rds teams, Does Armagh not have a reserve league for 2nd teams?

they do. But if you've the numbers makes more sense to field a stand alone seconds team to play in the junior league. Better standard 

[Wildweasel74]

G, a reserve team in Derry couldn't play in a Junior league, it have to be a thirds team and called such.

Reserve leagues in Armagh aren't graded and are a complete mismatch: they're based geographically, senior clubs can play against intermediate & junior clubs and half them barely field.

If you've 40+ lads coming to training every night, entering a second panel into the league system is a much better way of guaranteeing meaningful football. If your club have an extra 20 lads who are capable of fielding an intermediate standard side (like Crossmaglen) what benefit is it for them to play reserves?

A few corrections. Donegal Intermediate is down to Malin v Downings.

Donegal Junior- Lifford are gone. It's the other Naomh Padraig from Muff in the semi final I believe.

[Wildweasel74]

Derry senior reserve football would be very strong with most teams if not all, stronger than Junior football,

[Armagh18]

Derry senior reserve football would be very strong with most teams if not all stronger than Junior football,

then they be as well fielding proper seconds teams

I take pride in the strength of our clubs but I'd disagree with this to be honest. Would be stronger than the weakest few teams in the county, but I don't think they'd have beat those Desertmartin or Craigbane teams that won the last few Junior championships.

couple of reserve teams in Armagh wouldn't look out of place at intermediate level but maybe thats how poor the standard is.  Cross enter their first team, seconds and a reserve side as well!

How are Glenullin still Intermediate? Did they not win it last year or the year before?

They won it last year but Galbally beat them well in Ulster. If they win Derry again this year can they play in Ulster?

Surely they should play senior in Derry though?
