Ulster IFC and JFC Club Championships 2014

[general_lee]

Armagh used to have it in a bit of a mess ie at one stage a few years back a Division 2 club was playing Junior and a Division 1 club was playing intermediate, Division 3 club played Senior etc. This has since been tidied up where clubs now play in the championship in line with their league status: SFL->SFC... IFL->IFC... JFL->JFC.

Senior championship looks set to go to Cross - unless Maghery, Cullyhanna or possibly Armagh Harps can provide an upset. There is also a back door in this year's championships so if the upset is to come let's hope it waits til the QF stage.

Intermediate looks quite competitive, half the teams involved in this division will have genuine and realistic ambitions of winning it. (Culloville, Wolfe Tones, Clann Eireann, Clan na Gael, St Paul's, St Peter's, Forkhill, Grange and even Silverbridge)

Junior I know less about though my tip would be either Collegeland or Keady.

Rock will be the Tyrone representatives as Derrytresk are banned from Ulster competitions.

Rock will be the Tyrone representatives as Derrytresk are banned from Ulster competitions.

Ulster says No... (To Derrytresk)?. How appropriate after big Ian's untimely exit.

How the mighty Clans have fallen!

How the mighty Clans have fallen!

This is their second year at intermediate! Get with the times! Forkhill aren't a bad team either!

[theticklemister]

Three intermediate teams in Lurgan. Not bad.

Oh, touched a nerve.

Four actually.

No nerve touched. Forkhill are ones to watch, have a good shout of senior football next year either through the winning of the IFC or winning their last league game. As for Clans, pathetic showing this year.

Monaghan IFC semi finals

Inniskeen v Corduff
Donaghmoyne v Rockcorry

Should be two close games. Corduff have the Banty managing them and he's got them playing far above themselves. Inniskeen have more better players than Corduff and should win but Corduff will put it up to them.

Donaghmoyne are the form team in Intermediate this year and favourites to win it out. Rory Woods has returned form the US and has made a difference to their young team. Rockcorry play arguably the best brand of football in the Intermediate division. With a full team they can unquestionably beat Donaghmoyne, but they have a paper thin squad. If Rockcorry have their first choice starting 15 I'd back them to win, if not Donaghmoyne's greater strength in depth to win out.
