What age are the County Minor teams 17 or 18 ?

And who is in charge of the Minors in 2024 ?

County minor teams remain at under 17 and Damian McErlain remains in charge. I believe a panel was put in place a couple of weeks ago.

As well as any questions on the Senior League. What age groups are being used at underage in club games?

Underage is U.14, U.16 and u.18

Sorry meant to also say Shane and Brendan definitely deserve All-stars this year imo

Both picked on the RTÉ Sunday Game team of the year last night which will do their chances no harm.  Also Conor McCluskey.

All 3 would be well deserved All Stars

Bring on Derry, the dubs can wait

Just you worry about Kerry first before thinking of who to wait for.

Good to see promotion and relegation in the club leagues again. Decoupling them from the championship should keep a few clubs happy too.

It is alright. As long as county players are free this year to play club games now that there is relegation from the league.

If Derry go as far as they did last year there won't be much opportunity for county players to play club league games. When the turkeys voted for Christmas ( the split season ) it was inevitable that the clubs would suffer and nothing anyone can do about it.

What about Lavey.... some handling

what happened

did you not get the screenshots 

nothing

You must be one of the few that hasn't.

And so it looks like the appeal about the relegation scenario has been thrown out. Get to training lads. You have a big one coming up. 

Big shout out to the minors, their mentors and everyone else involved after this evenings semi final win. Going to be a big day in Clones next Sunday for the county. Some decent football on display in Armagh today and apart from the 10 minute spell when reduced to 14, saw the opponents off relatively comfortably. Tyrone only able to beat a Donegal team that we beat well on a sudden death penalty shootout.
Any statisticians know the last time we contested both the Minor and Senior Ulster finals in the same year? Was it 93 by any chance? 

Anything other than a win today would have been a disaster. At one stage Derry were playing 15 vs Tipperary's 11.

When the first of the sin bins came back on to make it 15 v 12 Derry were 0-9 to 0-4 up. 6/7 minutes later the second Tipp sin bin player came back on and it was 0-9 to 0-6. Nothing but lateral passing, poor pass selection and some brutal shooting from 30+ metres out. One shot nearly missed the catch net it was so poor.

Like someone said earlier at least a win is a win but after that the positives end. A long and arduous road lies ahead. Hopefully another win at home to Louth but I fear a damage limitation job away to Cork.

Head into Newry and follow the floodlights 

JoG2 Do i detect a bit of a Newry - Down/Armagh rivalry somewhere in the family tree? I have friends both from Newry that are married. She's Down and he's Armagh. A fierce rivalry in that city.

Lads will many Derry support travel up to Newry on Saturday. Going by home attendances I doubt it. Looking forward to a good match Down by 5.

Any idea of attendance on Saturday vs Leitrim?

I would hazard a guess of 250?

I'd say 750 would be a more realistic figure.

On the high side for me but then if you added in both panels, na maoir and the journalists?!

200 at the Hurling on Sunday and it was a considerably bigger crowd on Saturday evening. I'll even say the crowd was bigger than 750 on Saturday and that's not including panels and workers.

How did you find out that there were 200 at hurling?

I was there and I can count.

Good win for the hurlers today. Got ahead of Down and kept them at arms length for the rest of the match. A good platform to kick on for the rest of the league. Was good medicine to try and cure the pain of last night. As others have said we don't have a right to win any game or be in any division but if that what we get for the start of a new campaign with a new management set up against a team at home that the bookies had us at 1/10 to win then the next few months are going to be uphill.
Also very poor support for both games over the weekend.

When you look at the players on that team as being the best we had for that period you can see why he haven't won an Ulster championship. I think nearly all of them played on the one team against Fermangah in 2008 Ulster semifinal and we were beat. Says alot

Rawhide I had actually erased that day from my memory. Now it's back there engrained 

Was McKeever not nominated for All stars in both codes in 2000?
