Derry Club Football & Hurling original

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.

Rather have the young lads not play at MacRory level at all?! I suppose St Patrick's Maghera never 'transferred' lads in to play in MacRory?!

It's all schools in the city. Just so happens only lads from 2 schools made team.

All schools? Great to see Saint Cecilia's and Foyle involved.

What age are you. And don't even get into this one. I don't want to make a dick of you again

Well, you did state all schools. Or were you being sectarian?

How many of the boys at each school play Gaelic football though? Are you begrudging those lads playing MacRory? Surely it can only be a good thing for Derry GAA.

A very low %.
Most of the lads are still from outside city with few city boys in there. TBH schools football has regressed in the city. This is a great opportunity for the lads but I fear the project is coming to an end over next few years

Exactly, boys like Ben McCarron last year got the chance to play in a McLarnon final, which would not have happened otherwise. Can only be a good thing. Fair play Cathair Dhoire.

I was at Lumen Christi in my day. Think we had about ten boys who played for a club, the rest were soccer boys. Got hammered out the gate a number of times. I would have loved something like this back then. Can think of a few boys who would have really excelled given the chance.

Typical 2 toughest games away, if we don't go up it B football later that yr

[Mikhailov]

Great draw. 8 points at home to start with - at least it should be. If Derry have any ambition then they need to win the 4 home games for starters

Any truth in the rumour that Malachy O'R is heading to Derry club football next year
