Derry Club Football & Hurling original

Was at the game yesterday. Calm, assured performance. Was sitting behind the Galway manager. He left half way thru the second half :-) All the players arrived in their own cars. Did the team bus break down ? :-)

No, that is the way they travelled down.

Hi lads. Could not find a Derry county team thread so putting it here instead...
Anyhow - few of us heading up to the Galway Derry game in Owenbeg in a few weeks and most likely going to stay over in the city on the Saturday night.
Any recommendations on decent places to go for a few beverages and a bit of craic?
Will be 4 or 5 of us most likely - ages range from 30 to 40.
Cheers lads.
Looking forward to this game. Derry have been very impressive recently.

Good man Galwayman. Head to Pyke n Pommes for a feed and Paedar O'Donnells for a pint of porter and some music. 5 mins walk apart.

Going well, looking forward to the game

Fair play JoG2 - cheers for the recommendation.
Actually I've only just realised it's a Six Nations weekend and Ireland play Scotland on the Saturday at 4:45pm so we will try and hit the road early to watch that in Derry.
Any issues just walking into Peadar O Donnells or somewhere nearby to watch it or do ya have to go booking tables or any of that mullarky ?

[galwayman]

Nice one. We'll aim for Peadars cheers again.

Machy? Who that? Machy-ra? Not even a GAA club name.  Back to barracks for ewe.

Folks can we go to the Hyde and beat Roscommon ....  watched their game against Down and I think their overall physically stronger than Derry .... does anyone know if its on Tg4 either live or deferred coverage.   

Id say they will start withe same team that started the 2nd half v Clare with McKinless and McFaul on.   

Have they anyone on the bench that can make an impact at this higher level ?  Good luck to team and all the supporters who are travelling to the game.

Roscommon definitely did look a very tall physically imposing team with a lot of scoring potential in their forward line  , without a doubt the sternest test we have faced so far  here's  hoping we can come back with some points on board.

A good test of Doire's progress tomorrow v Ros Comáin who have won 2 Connacht titles in last 5 years.  Players will rise to the occasion and be very competitive but the toughest challenge in Div 2 so far.  Using Down as any sort of a benchmark at present is relatively useless. Offaly beat them today. A great opportunity to regain Div 1 status all the same. We certainly have a chance. Doire abú!

That's a bold statement and I hope you're correct. I'd take a draw.

Aye a draw would be grand
