Tendering contractors will probably low ball their tender on basis that no doubt that the design could change and that with the Client being under time pressures they will throwing whatever £££ is necessary to get it completed in time.

Good to get out with a win in Aughrim to get our Tailteann cup campaign back on track. We can give Fermanagh a crack to attempt to top the group on the June bank holiday weekend and get staight to a quater final. If we don't win we will still advance to a preliminary quater final.

A defensive game on Sunday where the result was in doubt right to the end. Rioghan Murphy was excellent again as he was against Carlow. Simon Fingleton had a fine game also. We didn't concede any goal opportunity to Wicklow but we had a goal chance ourselves early in the second half, Mark Barry with a decent effort which was saved.

The area to improve on is to try limit our mistakes and reduce turnovers. It is good that we have a minimum of 2 more games so hopefully we can improve again the next day out.

Minor Semi finals results yesterday

Donegal  1-7 Armagh 2-8
Derry 2-14 Tyrone 1-10

Final May 26th at 1pm in Healy Park

Great to have an Armagh underage team reach the Ulster final. It seems like it has been a long time. O'Rourke has done a very good job with these lads. All the best to them.

O'Rourke stepped into a good gig, the ground work had been done with the coaches in the development panels and this group has been winning trophies at U15/16 level the last two years.  Derry will be tough nut to crack however Armagh should do well in the All Ireland series regardless of how the Ulster final goes this weekend.

Brolly embarrassed to be from Derry.

Also annoyed at Mckinless's stamp.

I'd say yes, but if people are saying only build what you have the money for - then the plans and specs could be changing? Also if there's no likelihood of getting the funding to build against existing specs - it could be another 10yr delay and a waste of time and effort for a tenderer.

Absolutely, and much of that is at the door of the Ulster Council.

Thought the u20s were excellent on Sunday. Some great attacking football and super defending. No,5(ohare?) And no.2 looked really good in defence.

Do you seriously not know their names?

He's from Fermanagh so wouldn't be as tuned into Tyrone gaa like us !

And hasn't watched much Tyrone football at any level since Harte left.

Yes, they are competing very well. Shouldve been in place years ago

But failing to field in the reserve league as a result.

Hence my reference to everyone working together to get a joined up solution.

[Surely you tender based on your cost modellling of the actual plans and specifications, no?]

The message I'm taking from that is that the British Government is delaying the stadium at the minute.
However, are the GAA themselves not in the middle of a tendering process which is delaying it anyway? Is the British Government holding that up? Is there a point in the British Government declaring what they can put forward until the total cost is known?

Is it out for Tender at the moment? If I was a company considering tendering for this, I'd be looking at it thinking I've no idea what the budget will be as the funding isnt there. Is it worth the risk of tendering (with all the associated costs of that) to perhaps get excluded as our price exceeds a budget yet to be agreed.

Surely you tender based on your cost modellling of the actual plans and specifications, no?

The budget can't be locked down until those tenders are in, but CHH is backtracking like a good one, although the Minister responsible, Mr Lyons doesn't seem to be pushing too hard either.

I'd say yes, but if people are saying only build what you have the money for - then the plans and specs could be changing? Also if there's no likelihood of getting the funding to build against existing specs - it could be another 10yr delay and a waste of time and effort for a tenderer.
