Title: Sigerson 2019
Post by: ck on November 28, 2018, 01:25:52 PM
Anyone know when the Sigerson draw is for 2019? It's all very quiet. 

Haven't heard many Ryan Cup results this year. There's a notable drop in HE media interest and profile which is likely to continue into Sigerson.
Also strong word coming out that Sigerson/Fitz cups will move to December next year. The end is nigh?

Was always going to happen there's just too much going on now for lads of that age who are good at football!

U21 Club and County, Senior Club and County as well as Sigerson along with study is a lot especially with the time/physical workload that's expected nowadays!

From a NUIG perspective - lifted off facebook.



Stronger UUJ claim Division 1 league crown

Fresher Div 1 football league final

UUJORDANSTOWN.....................1-11

NUIGALWAY........1-6

By Michael O Connor.

Pace and movement off the ball ensured the division 1 league title for Fresher football was brought up the M50 to Jordanstown on Tuesday evening as NUIGalway fell short despite a competitive effort.

Should one use statistics to portray the story of a game it can sometimes be a little distorting yet in this case they tell a concise and accurate picture. UUJ who used a sweeper well hit 14 wides as opposed to 6 for the western university whilst both keepers were busy it was Cian Lankford who engineered two important saves to stave off the rampaging northerners at key intervals.

NUIGalway had reached the final with a narrow win by the minimum against UCD whilst UUJ accounted for UCC who finished the game with 13 men. Abbottstown 4G pitch housed this eagerly awaited tie between two sides who have met at senior league knockout stages in recent seasons. The inclement weather conditions of the recent days had little impact on the ground conditions.

NUIGalway had the opening effort for a score that fell short before UUJ registered the opening wide in the 2nd minute. UUJ were active with a spare man in the rearguard to counteract the supposed strong NUIGalway attack. Two more UUJ wides were created with five minutes played whilst most of the early NUIGalway creativity was from their half back line but upfront the western college floundered. Eventually the pressure on the NUIGalway rearguard earned UUJ's Ryan Jones theopening score after seven minutes of free flowing action just after which NUIGalway had their first wide. UUJ struck once again when a goal looked the end result was punched over the bar.

At the end of the opening quarter in which NUIGalway struggled to create even one meaningful scorng chance they finally got on the scoreboard when Evan O Brien floated over a free from 35 metre to finally get his side on the scoreboard. This was matched by a sweeping move downfield by UUJ and finished with Jones scoring his second score. Within seconds NUIGalway's Cathal Heneghan had a goal effort blocked in the 18th minute. This half effort was crucial in the long run as NUIGalway were finding chances hard to create and execute.

In a low scoring opening half both sides were intent on playing attacking football but it was UUJ who were creating more chances. Jack McSharry won a free sent over by fellow county man and team captain Evan O Brien. UUJ created a scary moment for NUIGalway from a free that was cleared in the 22nd minute. The slower build up from midfield to the forwards was costing NUIGalway time and UUJ were profiting on the break.. All this resulted in another successful free for UUJ sent over by Liam Nugent in the 24th minute. Evan O Brien worked hard to win a free he converted with four minutes left in the half as he was his sides only scorer at this juncture. A mistake in the NUIGalway last line of defence ended with Liam Quinn hitting the net to open a four point lead that was cut in half by NUIGalway substitute David Kelly a minute after his introduction with two minutes left in the first half. This was the final score of the half to leave UUJ (1-4) to (0-4) ahead but NUIGalway still very much in contention.

The second half was on mere seconds when UUJ's Ryan Gormley found himself on his own but elected to float the ball over the NUIGalway bar. Evan O Brien responded with an excellent score before the ball was flicked to the UUJ net by Mayo's Tommy Conroy after being set up by Lorcan Molloy. UUJ suffered the loss of number Conor Kenny as he was a major loss to their forward ranks

Cian Lankford pulled off an excellent save to deny UUJ a definite score in the 36th minute as the winners added scores to surge the Ulster college (1-8) to (1-5) clear at the end of the third quarter. Defeat was now a real fear and it was now a case of NUIGalway requiring a salvo of points or at least a goal to come back into contention as the game entered the final eight minutes and four points in arrears after UUJ came back with yet another score

An insurance score of sorts was popped over the bar by UUJ as the game entered injury time of a game dominated in the main by UUJ and had they executed half the chances they sent abegging the margin of victory would have twice what materialised. NUIGalway ended the game with 14 men as Evan O Brien received a second yellow card.

The score of the game fell to NUIGalway's Robert Walzer as NUIGalway made a late surge with Cathal Heneghan hitting the UUJ goalie leg for the final attack of the day. This result for one team and making the last two for the other side should improve both sides but mean little post Christmas when the top Dublin and Munster colleges enter the fray for the Dave Billings cup.

NUIGalway: Cian Lankford (Cork), Dylan Buckley (Galway), James Sugrue (Kerry) Julian Cooke (Cavan), Gavin Burke (Galway), Conor Campbell (Donegal), Jack McSharry (Mayo), Evan O Brien (Mayo) (0-4), Dean Brophy (Laois), Cathal Heneghan (Roscommon), Liam Burke (Mayo), Tommy Conroy (Mayo) (1-0), Ryan Cunningham (Donegal), Lorcan Molloy (Galway). Subs used: David Kelly (Kildare) (0-1), Robert Walzer (Galway) (0-1). Padraig Costello (Galway)

The coverage of HE games is really poor. I was on the HE GAA website today to see if the Sigerson draw was there and all I could find was last year's results. No wonder it gets poor coverage when their PR is so poorly managed.

Sigerson draw was in December for the last number of years. Not sure why you think it's quieter this year. Bar the league final - Ryan Cup it's low key enough before Sigerson

The Sigerson itself only attracts a few hundred. Mainly family members or friends of the players

Beat DCU by a point.

At 3/1 Paddy Power have UCD favourites to retain the Sigerson cup. DCU and UUC are next at 7/2.

Mary's late score took it to extra time. Another late score from them levels it at the end of extra time.

NUIG have had a red card and a couple of black cards.

Gone down to a free taking competition.

Unfortunately, we only have 1 player playing Sigerson. Haven't seen AIT list yet, but there may be 1.
I reckon that only Waterford have less players playing Sigerson than we do.
I know that college isn't for everyone, but...'tis fairly alarming nonetheless.

NUIG are still in it I read somewhere - must be a backdoor in the competition.
John Daly tweaked his hamstring in the FBD game at the weekend so I assume did not play.
I thought Cillian McDaid was with NUIG this year?
Didn't see his name on the teamsheet I saw.

Apparently NUIG play away to the losers of Queens v Maynooth now.

Thought McDaid was with them myself but he wasn't named in the team or the subs today.

Bit of a setback today for them because they have a handy looking team on paper even with Comer gone. Blew two chances to seal the game unfortunately for them.

Thats a fairly strong NUIG team, probably slightly stronger than last year although Comer is a huge loss.

The DCU / Carlow game was literally a game of two halves. DCU started like a train were 1-6 to 0-1 up very quickly. they stretched out to 1-11 to 0-3 by half time. Carlow organised themselves at half time and completely dominated the second half. They dominated the midfield and the DCU forwards couldn't get space. Whether its a tactic or not but they fouled throughout the field and gave away a lot of scoring frees. I don't know whether they were missing many but I thought they would be better.

Evan Carroll goal after long run and a few pointed frees.

DIT need to nail frees if any chance. 2 bad misses leading up to half time.

UCD walked 2nd half.
Full time UCD 3-14 DIT 0-6

Con O'Callaghan missed more than he scored, still ended up with 1-2 or something. Savage riches at their disposal, will take a good team playing well to take them. Liam Silke my MOTM.
Thought Silke was the stand out player also. John Divilly has UCD well drilled must be matter of time before he becomes a county manager?

The summer off last year has served Liam well, he's flying since he came home. John Divilly is actually part of Padraic Joyce's new Galway u-20 management this year, coach I think.

I'd like to see Divo involved with the Galway seniors sooner rather than later.
I heard something about him possibly training any Dublin based Galway panellists midweek but he's not part of the management team.

You clearly don't get it. No-one ever said that people care about the college or the University, but the average club or county supporter cares about his/her player and how they are getting on at that high level of the game. If a player gets on a Sigerson team then they are not a kick in the arse away from county football. In addition you have a very good standard of football played in a competition that gets very little profile, the players tend to play for each other rather than the college. That's what makes it special.

My point is the high standard of football consistently produced in Sigerson that could be broadcast live on TV like the under 21 hurling on TG4 the last few years.

Not sure about Molloy but Liam Silke is definitely on a sports scholarship, UCD could make his life difficult if they wanted. They didn't last year and I doubt they will this year either but the bottom line is neither himself or Kieran should have to make that choice again.

Big spending UUJ being outshone by St Marys again who seem to have a lot of players on the panel,who are club players only.

Dont really understand this UUJ enigma they always seem to have a serious panel from all arts and parts and rarely do they succeed....

UU are always packed with stars. That was fine 15 years ago when you had access to players but what you need now are good club players who will train, eat and sleep Sigerson. The county men are just not going to do that. UU havent learned that at all in seems - even DCU seem to be waking up to it. Marys Belfast are the example to everyone of how to be successful in Sigerson, no player poaching just good honest team ethic.

Spot on. Had experience of this myself, when I was in college. One year about 5/6 of our panel were on a particular county panel, whose manager held them on a ridiculously tight reign. They very rarely trained with us, and their introduction come Sigerson time blew up all cohesiveness we had built up. Of course we wanted them in the team as they were big players, but once they came in we were no longer a unit.

NUIG v UCC game has been moved to Sunday, 17th February at the request of NUIG. Still not ideal but at least it gives Kieran Molloy and David Shaw the chance to play in both. As is stands, the UCD game is still down for Saturday so Liam Silke is still going to miss out.

Great result for St Mary's and a particular congratulations to Gavin McGilly that's two Sigerson finals and an All Ireland Intermediate club final in 24 months or so. Had the pleasure of watching an All Ireland final with him a few years ago. His insight into the game at that time was fantastic. Just hope his expertise doesn't come back to haunt Armagh in the championship.

Are there not 1 or 2 of the St mary's squad who would already be qualified teachers but would be doing part time masters enabling them to play sigerson? Maybe not the same category as other 'courses' offered to some top players at other universities. Personally think university football should be open to undergrads only. This would avoid the likes of 25/26 year old established county players who have been enrolled in some random course at a tech somewhere that is formally linked to a university from competing against 19-22 year olds in a university competition.

Would agree with this. It's a bit like DCU taking the best players from St.Pats, throwing money at them to play for DCU as their governing college and leaving the rest to play for St.Pats! So wrong on many levels.
Marys are a lesson to all. Get a small group of decent players who want to play and you'll not be far away.

St.Mary's have better players than some on here think. They have a couple of forwards from my own county who would be very good at this level. Burns and Devlin solid in midfield and Rafferty plus the Armagh contingent solid at the back. They are rightly underdogs but to make them out as a side of average players would be wrong. That said, their strength is probably that they are all hardworking and know exactly how they play, hard to break down and strong on the counter.

If I was one of Boyle's team-mates I'd be raging at him - rank stupid behaviour especially given Gough is one of the refs who bothers to enforce this rule. I don't think the sending off was the losing of the game for St Marys - I think it was UCC's deeper panel that won this for them - UCC made 5 subs and 3 of them scored a point.  The UCC subs saw a lot of ball in the last 10 minutes. St Marys only made 1 sub in comparison.

I was surprised last night at the lack of intensity and pace of the game for large periods. I would say Sigerson is below club football and just above under 21 standard. Billy Morgan said his team doesn't train that's probably why the game was so poor. Before anyone jumps down my throat both teams has obviously a stand out player boththe number 11s. For example a Kilcoo in Down would destroy St Mary's

8 steps or so before defender takes him out, no penalty right call and Gough deserves credit for that. Poster calling him dishonest need their head examined. Reffing Gaelic football nearly an impossible task with the tackle in our game and all the slabbering and pushing that goes on.

Some call by the ref to be fair. You don't see too many calling those. All involved want consistency. After 5/10 mins you should know how the ref is going to call tackles / steps etc and react accordingly. The problem is refs change their tune at times during games. A 4/5 man tackle (!) is allowed during a play, next time its a free. Very frustrating. But I agree Spuds, reffing football is a tough tough job

1 ref can't enforce this rule if the rest ignore it. I never wore A gumshield in 15yrs of playing fball but I actually had breathing issues and a gum shield affected this

Didn't Gough show he was serious about the gumshield rule by making the midfielders get in compliance before he started the game?

Showed he was serious about the rule and very stupid by a player to ignore the rule.

Kerry's Peter Crowley has a habit of playing with the gumshield hanging out of his mouth sometimes...surprised he hasn't been pulled for it as it is a lot more obvious than not having one at all.

Didn't think referee gave a free for overcarrying instead of a penalty. Was free not given for touching ball on ground after penalty appeal collision ? I feel there was 6 steps before initial contact. Still a free but the inconsistency in applying the rule is a problem.

It was obvious the call was for overcarrying - otherwise it would have been a kick out rather than a free. The right call and Gough is one of the few refs who is semi conscious around steps.

There's several instances during the game where players took just as many step that led to scores. Over half the UCC scores covered by the highlights have instances of their players taking 8 steps.

I don't like Gough's style, I've watched too many matches with him and frees are given for nothing time and time again.

Firstly, how the hell can we give out about a referee who applies the rules and in fairness to Gough, he's consistent. If you have to wear a gumshield then bloody wear one. These people giving out that other referees don't apply the rule then they are the problem, not Gough!

I spoke to a referee about this and his answer was clear - if you don't speak back to a referee then he'll never know you don't have a gumshield (as he doesn't check) so if you don't wear one, then give the referee abuse, you know what is coming! Gough is probably the most consistent referee in Ireland and in fairness we all want consistency!

I'm not disagreeing although it may seem like I'm about to.  The difficulty comes though with rules that are never strictly adhered to. The too close on free kick rules seems to never be applied correctly.  In fact most I speak to don't even know what the precise rule is. Soloing a free kick before taking it is another. Strict compliance with the four step rule or spot of the foul etc etc. If you are going to enforce rules like the gum shield one, when other referees don't, as was done here you open yourself up to criticism as to why you are cherry picking certain rules. If you laud a ref for strict adherence to the rules you have to criticise him if he allows a free as much as one inch away from the spot of the foul.

Either common sense has to be applied and we accept that will lead to a certain amount of inconsistency or strict adherence to the rules is the ideal in which case I'd imagine we will have a very boring game very quickly. Either way the referee will be liable for criticism. It's a thankless task which is neigh on impossible in the modern game. I still think a second referee in inter county games would assist immensely.

Only watched the second half so missed most of Finnerty's scores, think he only got on the ball once during the half and got a brilliant score from it. I never thought he'd be good enough at the very top level but he appears to have kicked on a level, he's bound to get some game time during the league. I like the look of the younger O'Laoi too, think he can kick on again this year.

Finnerity was in good form but I thought the UCC backs marking him were fairly poor in the first half - don't know who was marking him initially but Flood from Meath was switched on to him early enough and had an absolute nightmare on him in the first half - gave him a world of space throughout - the worst being leaving him in absolute acres of space for the goal. Finnerity took advantage and got some tasty scores but it was up against a very poor level of defending for Sigerson never mind inter-county in my opinion. I think this year's league might be a bit soon for him yet.

UCC are favorites with the bookies but I think they could be in a bit of bother unless they tighten up at the back.

DCU that good or Queens that bad? Queens biggest ever loss in the Sigerson cup overtaking their 16 point loss to UCC in 1947.

DCU 7-14 Queens 0-9
Letterkenny IT 1-14 IT Sligo 1-8

St Mary's v UCD gone to extra time current score UCD 1-10 St Mary's 2-4

UCD won 2-10 to 2-6.


Big shock in this evening match. IT Carlow 3-9
UCC 0-14

Not surprised they conceded goals based on the NUIG game - as I posted above they just didn't look secure at the back.

I can honestly say I have never seen such poor coverage for Sigerson. I had to look up to see who were in the semi finals and struggled to find it. The HE GAA committee do not deliver when it comes to PR or coverage.

A lot of talk about Sigerson recently with fixture clashes. The ONLY solution is to move it to pre Christmas and play it off quickly through December or else kill the whole thing off cos this year was an absolute joke.

No not you're imagination. Standards has dropped the last few years. It's more potential county senior players leading the line in Sigerson cup teams nowadays than established county seniors.
