Is Belfast GAA still dying or is it alive again? Country teams still the dominate ones in all divisions

Last winner from outside Belfast excluding Cargin achievements were Glenravel I believe. Since then Johnnies Rossa L dearg Sarsfields StPauls, Pearses St Teresa's & St Galls obviously.  Good history in Belfast for almost 60 years

It's cycles too. Hard to see outside Cargin this year but Creggan will be in the mix. I thought Cargin were going to drop off but I don't think so any more. I think Creggan will have dropped off before them.

I imagine st pauls will come again too and Rossa are definitely much stronger. Pretty much all the city clubs have the dual problem which the likes of Cargin or Portglenone don't have.

Still expect Creggan to push this year missing Liam Quinn & Conor Small? Two of their main threats gone. Fintan Burke also not playing.

Gaelfast is an effort to resurrect it and just glad to see feet on the ground more than befor . Made big impression at my grandsons school.
Belfast still miles behind country teams in numbers facilities finances

I still think they're probably better than most except Cargin. Without them though I'd say would be tough to see them win it.

a co.down man asked me this and found it hard to answer not having seen much of either ecxcepy in finals.

"who is better, creggan or lamh dearg"

Toss of a coin in my opinion.... up for debate!

I would say Creggan are better but I would always fancy Lamhs to beat them in championship!!

R creggan like Mayo loads of good players loads of finals but choke on big day?

Or is it Cargin just find a way to grind out results? How many times have teams almost beaten them - but fell inches short.Theres been dozens of very close matches in recent years where a point or two made all the different over 60 or 80 minutes.

After this weekend we will know the last 8, and the fun starts all over again.

Isn't that what winning championships is about. Mayo had Dublin on the ropes twice and couldn't put them away. Kerry had them to a replay and couldn't either even when they had an extra man in the drawn game.
