Monaghan JFC final
Drumhowan 1-11 Emyvale 3-4

Great win for Drumhowan  today (my mum's home club). Drumhowan fielded without 12 men from the '08 Ulster junior club championship winning team, mainly through emigration. Makes it even sweeter.

[Sleater]

Swatragh are into the Derry IFC final.

Who's the favourites for the Intermediate then? Think it would be easier to name the teams that WON'T win it rather than the teams that will!

[rodney trotter]

Hard to say, not like the Senior Championships where the regular list of teams stick out.

The Cavan final was a draw last week between my own club Lacken and Cootheill. Lacken dominated the first half and Cootehill dominated the second half. Lacken are more of a phycisal team, while Cootehill are more of a pacey team. Think Lacken would suit Ulster Club football more, as it can be dogged football in the Ulster Club, wouldn't write off Cootehill in the replay. Cootehill missed a last minute free, so Lacken are lucky to be still involved.

What sort of an outfit are Swatragh like, Derry teams are usually very competitive

[North Man]

Swatragh teams are traditionally big and this team is no different.
Lost last years co. final by a point to Craigbane who won Ulster.
Won this years final by a point against Forglen a smaller fast excellent football team.
They will give Ulster a good rattle but Killeavy or Cookstown/Eskra will be also looking at the big prize

[Sleater]

Loos like a strong Ulster IFC this year.

You could possibly have
Cookstown - 2009 all ireland Intermediate football champions
Teemore - 2011 Fermanagh SFC finalists
Doohamlet - 2010 Ulster IFC finalists
Killeavy - Stevie McDonnell's club look like strong contenders
Lacken, Swatragh and Warrenpoint I would imagine will be good clubs for this level.

Who is likely to emerge from Donegeal? Termon? Buncrana?

Those 3 teams would be among the favourites. Killeavy are a good footballing side with a lot of young players but might not be suited to the dogged football at Ulster club level. Cookstown won the AI club a few years ago so will probably be favourites to win it whilst Derry club football is always strong and they will feel that they are in with a good shout. It's really anyone's guess though since these teams will never have come up against each other before.

Jeez when you list out all those teams it could be anyone's to win. Are Teemore managed by the notorious Peter Darragh Quinn?
