I have Slaughtneil, Loup, Glen and Ballinascreen all scoring more in the C'ship than the Rossa. Ballinderry are level with M'felt in the scoring charts.  However only Slaughtneil played the same amount of games as M'felt, the rest had fewer games:

Loup & Ballinderry (1)
Ballinascreen & Glen (2)

Newbridge had 3 fewer than M'felt and are only 10pts away from their overall total.

Surely each team total for and against depends on the quality of opposition.
Your next step is to give a weighting to each team and factor it into your interim results.

Which team had the best defensive record?

To mould a county team from good players who have been successful at any other level is not an easy thing to do.

2 schools

Cathair Dhoire 3 schools 2100 boys
St Pats 1 school 510 boys

I see Cathair Dhoire had their first win in the MacRory Cup last night. Defeated Inis Eoghain 1-17 to 3-10. Fair play to them.

Seven schools. Doesn't count.

If your county team is in Division 3 or Division 4 and only a couple of hundred turn up for the games, the people are telling the players that they will only grace them with their presence if they are playing at the top level. That's some message to give to players who train hard over the Winter and try their best against other counties in the Spring.

Good man brick
It must have taken you most of the day to find all the soundbytes from Sunday Game panellists over the year and piece them altogether. 😂😂😂
Usual nonsense.

Ffs it's Marty Boyle, not Micky.

The beauty of the straight knockout championship 2 big hitters gone first day!!

As a player I never liked it I always thought it wasn't fair training like madman for 6-7 months to only have the possibility of one big game at the end of the year and then you're gone. All that sacrifice for very little at times.

As a supporter there's no better format!!!

The difference is the date. At one time teams could have exited the championship in June, with lots of league games to play over the next few months. Knockout in September comes after a full season of games and finishes the year.

Bigger news tonight derry signed a 3 year deal with Coca Cola . Rory g reckons gonna be a big help going forward

Ah, there's where the money comes from.
That's a hell of a sponsor however they managed that.

Bit slow getting that one, tbrick?

Can somebody remind us all what the different candidates have won so far as managers of teams?

Did any part of the process contravene the GAA guidelines on managerial appointments? If so, pursue it. If not, forget about it.

Rory Gallagher the only remaining candidate.

This is turning in a shite fest. Gallagher getting calls from the county board to assess his interest, this has run against the nominations submitted by the clubs. This will IMO further alienate the feeling from clubs towards the county, if that was possible. There has been no tac here at all. Surely the smart thing would have been for the CB (meet privately with the guy) then have gotten one of the clubs to have nominated Gallagher rather than McIvor/Symth bye passing the clubs. Its not good. This is promoting more apathy. Incompetent.

Do the GAA rules not allow for candidates to be proposed by clubs and by county officers and by individuals who put their own names forward? Someone please tell us if this is true or false.

Clubs strung along again and people wonder why there is such apathy around the Clubs towards the County setup.  The only way to turn things around was to give clubs a say but it has actually now alienated them more.  I don't expect anything less from a County board who goes down to congress and votes against motions opposite to the way clubs have instructed them to do.

Rory Gallagher - He will really get the fans flocking to watch his brand of football.

I'm confused. Do the GAA rules say that counties have to appoint somebody proposed by clubs?

One man is hugely experienced at senior county level.
One man is fairly experienced at youth county level.
One man is hugely experienced at club level.
One man is fairly experienced at club level.
First two are not from Derry. Other two are.
Interviews are not often based on emotion or passion. 

Hearing Brolly is one of the ex players!!!

True. Not a single division 1 club is represented on the committee😆😆
