Seemed to be teams at near full strength also, Bar big Pat and NMcK, was there any other Championship players not playing last night?

Cargin missing Tomas Mc Cann (their main forward) Pat Shivers & Mark Kelly. Casements Big Naill, no others who would make a difference. That was a set back for Casements. They have to beat Creggan & Cargin in the league to get some genuine belief that they can do it in championship.

So Tomas must have been injured when he came off on Sat at Corrigan.. Was expecting a Casements win considering the effort they have put in this year to date, but only a few months in for both managers and the big test is Championship.

Not liking the group stages tbh.. much prefer the straight knockout draw

The group stages are important if you have not access to your county players for the vast majority of the season. However I understand exactly your point.

[bannside]

Exactly EOC. Both teams keeping a few yards up their sleeve, Casements happy enough where they're at for the time of year, league is for blending in players and getting systems in place. Bigger days ahead.

Semi final of the Ulster Minor championship v Tyrone is listed with us at home, though venue tbc. That group deserves a big support on the 7th May.

T mccann away with work commitments not injured

I do hear what BS saying  but I do think and believe hosting big Eddie Fitz trophy was, and am sure remains an objective...
Defeat at home last night was a wound inflicted...(No death rattle as yet).

Jeez my nephew is not at all pleased with me..

Cargin did introduce a Mc Crory cup winner and a future senior regular, Tom Shivers last night and a long list of 18 year olds following.

Mick Mc Cann underlined just how good he is last night, pulling the strings in game management when we nicked a three point advantage.

Am sure BS and RC in particular will view this remark in scorn but although both Casement's goals were well finished the Lady called Luck played a significant role in both...?

[country bumpkin]

Am Clooney bound tonight....a most significant fixture with the points at a premium for both......

[bannside]

Surely CB. Youse came with half a team (missing Tomas Mark & Pat) and a bunch of youngsters and played a full strength PG1, with Mick toying with us, and Casements two lucky goals just about keeping us in it.

That's a fair enough assessment....

And so the mind games begin. Wonder who'll end up being Fergie

An even fairer assessment would be to just have Creggan and Cargin in the final after last nights game

[EOC1923]

That can't happen, as with last year Creggan, Cargin, on same side of the draw
