Carrickmacross are Monaghan IFC champions

Anyone else think Ballyhegan,the club of Noel Marley,Paul Mc Grane and Paddy Mc Keever,even being in the Junior Championship is a shame? I remember them beating the great Clan Na Gael team in a meaningless league fixture in the mid 70s,and there wasn't a cow milked in Ballyhegan for a month!

Could it be a case that a neighbouring high flying club in Portadown have pillaged their most talented players?

T Fearon

Owen care to name any of these? In 1974 Portadown were in Div 4.3.years later they joined Ballyhegan in Div 1 and were considered upstarts.


Norf Tyrone

I reckon Tattyreagh v Currin is potentially the Ulster finsl.

Tyrone and Monaghan normally strong at Junior level.

Ballyhegan have a very small pick,  we field on our own at underage and having subs is a luxury for us. In the late 80s/early 90s we could hardly field at senior level, so i think we're doing very well. We're lucky that we have a large number of lads coming through over the next few years, so hopefully we'll be giving the intermediate a rattle then.

I've always been amazed that you could field a team at all in the area you're in.

Tony,
wise up- Ballyhegan are a small rural club that have cycles of players like any other rural club with a small population, they won the junior in 95, and the intermediate in 97, and the junior again this year. Our neighbors in the town of Craigavon, Tir Na Nog were founded 41 years after Ballyhegan, and it seems like you haven't lost the chip on your shoulder since. 
Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity
