Just a personal opinion but I prefer Dunsilly to Corrigan - better atmosphere, better view.  Something doesn't work at Corrigan the way they split the two terraces with the stand in the middle, plus the big black hole behind the bottom goal. That's no offence to the St John's volunteers who always do a great job.  Always liked Glenavy as well but it seems to have fallen away for whatever reason.

Dunsilly is in action 2/4 Quarter finals being held there.

For big games do LD use their new pitch?

New pitch is first class although a very strange venue for such a big game
I smell an ambush be interesting to see the ref now too

Cargin minors playing at 12 also
Not giving anyone a chance to get to both games without a panic
Dunsilly should be used for all senior QFs bar the Rossa st Brigids game

Minor game at 12 and Senior game at 1.30? That would be ridiculous, and from a road safety point of view pretty irresponsible.  Surely an easy one to sort.

Why not play the minor game as a curtain raiser at LD?

LD V Dunloy Friday 08 Sept Dunsilly 1900
Creggan V PG1 Sat 09 Dunsilly 1600
Cargin V Aghagallon Sun 10 LD 1330
NB V Rossa Sun 10 Corrigan 1600

Glenravel may prefer the fixture at Dunsilly

They did although wasn't a repeat of previous years county final for sake of a mile why not play a double header in corrigan park ,that would mean one gate maybe is the problem

I'd like to have a gripe myself about the lack of promotion for the upcoming reserve final, the big names that are still playing for St Galls, all ireland winners. Against an up a coming group of young lads from Cargin. Don't even think they've told the teams where the final is in 7 days never mind promote it.

imtommygunn

That should be a really interesting game too.

Ghost+Tommy

Sure Cargin would be a great venue for Creggan v pg1,even our pitch for cargin v Aghagallon?

I'd say the young legs will run the ball through our 40 year olds
