Fermanagh is a complete joke. How on earth a team of the quality of Teemore are in an IFC competition is beyond me.
Bit of a shock in the other Fermanagh IFC semi.
Coa beat kinawley by a point.
final is on 22nd of September.
Coa vs Teemore
As for Teemore being in the intermediate that's the way the system works in Fermanagh when the team who is not promoted wins the championship.

Ulster IFC looks like it could very tasty this year. Potentially could have Teemore, Lacken, Killeavy & Cookstown all in it. That's serious quality at intermediate level.

What is the story in Armagh??
What are Killeavy doing in the Intermediate??
they regraded a year or two ago, when they were division 2. Leagues got a shake up this season which saw them join Division 1 but remain intermediate.. They should win it outright in Armagh and give Ulster a rattle.
Semis are:
Killeavy (Div 1) v Mullabawn (Div 2)
St Peter's (Div 2) v Wolfe Tones (Div 1)

Last year there were 4 Divisions and they got changed to 3 this year, 16 teams in each, loosely based on your league position.. idea being clubs playing Div 1 play SFC, Div 2 IFC and Div 3 JFC. Some clubs got bumped up to Division 1 but retained their IFC status, notably Killeavy (despite not finishing in the top 16 in the county). Tones finished 2nd in Division 2 last year and were promoted regardless though they're more or less relegated to Division 2 for next year. The whole idea of this change was to stop Division 1 teams playing Intermediate, and that will come into effect next season.
Also, reliably informed that the men from the roundabout made the semi's in the Derry IFC last night!

I was thinking something similar should of been in Derry, but Banagher who finished 5th bottom are in the semis of the senior cship this weekend; but they play Ballinderry and this is where their run may end!

Well a number of teams had been dropping down to play Intermediate in Armagh the last few years (allegedly due to Cross' dominance at Senior) but then again Carrickcruppen gave them a scare at the weekend and they are second bottom in the league! That problem may not exist in Derry as yous all hate each other that much that all the games tend to be close enough!

Heard that Kileavey had won it.
Cavan intermediate final finished a draw, 1-10 each between lacken and Cootehill.
Doohamlet win the Monaghan IFC, 0-12 to 1-8.
Swatragh win Derry IFC 2-7 to 2-6
Down IFC final is between Warrenpoint and St John Bosco.
Antrim IFC replay on 20th october.
Who's the favourites for the Intermediate then? Think it would be easier to name the teams that WON'T win it rather than the teams that will!
Hard to say, not like the Senior Championships where the regular list of teams stick out.
The Cavan final was a draw last week between my own club Lacken and Cootheill. Lacken dominated the first half and Cootehill dominated the second half. Lacken are more of a phycisal team, while Cootehill are more of a pacey team. Think Lacken would suit Ulster Club football more, as it can be dogged football in the Ulster Club, wouldn't write off Cootehill in the replay. Cootehill missed a last minute free, so Lacken are lucky to be still involved.
What sort of an outfit are Swatragh like, Derry teams are usually very competitive
Swatragh teams are traditionally big and this team is no different.
Lost last years co. final by a point to Craigbane who won Ulster.
Won this years final by a point against Forglen a smaller fast excellent football team.
They will give Ulster a good rattle but Killeavy or Cookstown/Eskra will be also looking at the big prize
Loos like a strong Ulster IFC this year.
You could possibly have
Cookstown - 2009 all ireland Intermediate football champions
Teemore - 2011 Fermanagh SFC finalists
Doohamlet - 2010 Ulster IFC finalists
Killeavy - Stevie McDonnell's club look like strong contenders
Lacken, Swatragh and Warrenpoint I would imagine will be good clubs for this level.
Who is likely to emerge from Donegeal? Termon? Buncrana?

Those 3 teams would be among the favourites. Killeavy are a good footballing side with a lot of young players but might not be suited to the dogged football at Ulster club level. Cookstown won the AI club a few years ago so will probably be favourites to win it whilst Derry club football is always strong and they will feel that they are in with a good shout. It's really anyone's guess though since these teams will never have come up against each other before.

Jeez when you list out all those teams it could be anyone's to win. Are Teemore managed by the notorious Peter Darragh Quinn?
How can Cookstown be allowed to compete in Ulster after winning it only a couple of years ago? Teams who win a Junior / Intermediate title in hurling are not allowed to enter for a certain period of time as far as I can see.

it doesnt matter a toot; all that matters is that is that they compete at that level within their own county.
Swa are a huge strongly built team, their main players would be: Mickey Friel (Derry county midfielder, built like a shithouse and stands at 6'3''), Ruairi Convery (Ex all-ireland minor winning football midfielder, and stands at 6'6''), James Kearney is very good at wing forward, Ryan Dillon has been back playing county football this year from wing back after a few years out.
Their main player, and someone who will be the mainstay of Derry football in years to come from CHB is Conor McAtamney; at only 18 he has been Swa's best player in my opinion for the last 2 years. Best catcher of the ball in the team believe it or not, even over Friel and Convery. Played well for St.Pat's Maghera in McRoary final from CHB.
By the looks of it, Killeavy may be favourites as they are competing well in the senior league in Armagh, while the rest are playing at the intermediate grade all summer.
Derry's reps for Junior Drum may still be on the last, they won the cship 3 weeks so it'll be a long oul wait for Ulster.
Derry traditionally do poorly in the Junior as the level between Intermediate and Junior is huge, with the same teams going up and down each year.

Hard for me to gauge Armagh teams cos I didn't (and still don't) rate Culloville and they made last year's Ulster final, Killeavy I reckon play a nicer brand of football but still maintain that bit of physicality that comes in handy for football at this time of year (They'll now prob be the first team to bite the dust!!) . The only teams I'd be certain of not winning it would be (no disrespect) Aghagallon/Sarsfields from Antrim and Bosco if they come out of Down.

In Tyrone you dont get to choose to play in Intermediate Football, it is based on League positions. Cookstown got relegated out of Division One last year. That meant they were into Intermediate Grade. They did not opt to go and play in Intermediate Football, like some other counties, you dont have that option in Tyrone. Its not that they opted to go in with an All Ireland title in mind. So it is only right that they should go on and play in Ulster. There are three Leagues in Tyrone (Div1 Senior) (Div2Intermediate) (Div3jUNIOR). I do think it is wrong that teams can opt into Intermediate Championships when they are a Senior Club, playing in a Senior League, but this is certainly not the case with Cookstown, who id say would much prefer to be playing Senior Football in Tyrone.

Seen culloville last year in the Ulster final, Criagbane from Derry i think won 7-6 or something. Culloville went down to 13 men by the end of the first half. They were a limited enough team, however McEntees game plan of simply bullying the Derry team came back to haunt him as the ref was correct on both counts to send the teams of. Culloville must of improved this year have they not? cause Cullyhanna were lucky to beat them in the quarter final of the championship in Armagh.

Thats a new one, opting to drop to intermediate. None of that in Cavan.

Ah they're gameplan just typifies south Armagh cynicism! In fact it probably goes beyond that, I wouldn't credit it to McEntee either, it was there well before he came in and will be there long afer he goes! Cullyhanna were indeed lucky to beat them but they also got hammered by Pearse Og in the next game so that shows where those two teams are in the grand scheme of things!
Re Killeavy, can't imagine them being like Culloville, physically they should hold their own but they'll try and play football. Maybe once the competition is over we could send Culloville up to Swa and have a dance off!

If Killeavy try the physical stuff against Swatragh they won't get far!
Ah they're gameplan just typifies south Armagh cynicism! In fact it probably goes beyond that, I wouldn't credit it to McEntee either, it was there well before he came in and will be there long afer he goes! Cullyhanna were indeed lucky to beat them but they also got hammered by Pearse Og in the next game so that shows where those two teams are in the grand scheme of things!
Re Killeavy, can't imagine them being like Culloville, physically they should hold their own but they'll try and play football. Maybe once the competition is over we could send Culloville up to Swa and have a dance off!
No Partners for big Mickey Friel i'll bet!!!!
Ah a South Derry team versus a South Armagh team.................. if this 'dance-off' happened in the 1970s the RUC would have a field day and lift them all!!!lol!!

How can Cookstown be allowed to compete in Ulster after winning it only a couple of years ago? Teams who win a Junior / Intermediate title in hurling are not allowed to enter for a certain period of time as far as I can see.
it doesnt matter a toot; all that matters is that is that they compete at that level within their own county.
Swa are a huge strongly built team, their main players would be: Mickey Friel (Derry county midfielder, built like a shithouse and stands at 6'3''), Ruairi Convery (Ex all-ireland minor winning football midfielder, and stands at 6'6''), James Kearney is very good at wing forward, Ryan Dillon has been back playing county football this year from wing back after a few years out.
Their main player, and someone who will be the mainstay of Derry football in years to come from CHB is Conor McAtamney; at only 18 he has been Swa's best player in my opinion for the last 2 years. Best catcher of the ball in the team believe it or not, even over Friel and Convery. Played well for St.Pat's Maghera in McRoary final from CHB.
By the looks of it, Killeavy may be favourites as they are competing well in the senior league in Armagh, while the rest are playing at the intermediate grade all summer.
Hard for me to gauge Armagh teams cos I didn't (and still don't) rate Culloville and they made last year's Ulster final, Killeavy I reckon play a nicer brand of football but still maintain that bit of physicality that comes in handy for football at this time of year (They'll now prob be the first team to bite the dust!!) . The only teams I'd be certain of not winning it would be (no disrespect) Aghagallon/Sarsfields from Antrim and Bosco if they come out of Down.
Seen culloville last year in the Ulster final, Criagbane from Derry i think won 7-6 or something. Culloville went down to 13 men by the end of the first half. They were a limited enough team, however McEntees game plan of simply bullying the Derry team came back to haunt him as the ref was correct on both counts to send the teams of. Culloville must of improved this year have they not? cause Cullyhanna were lucky to beat them in the quarter final of the championship in Armagh.

Doohamlet from Monaghan are a very experienced, physically powerful team. Star man is Monaghan defender Colin Walsh who anchors them from CHB. He was one of the few Monaghan players to emerge with reputation intact from this year's ulster campaign. A player with scorching pace who reads the game superbly and is the launch pad for most of their attacks. Their other county player is Paul McArdle (squad player), who is mercurial and combustable in equal meassure. He's arguably the best free taker in Monaghan, consistently kicking scores from 45-50 yards. But he's a bit of a ticking time bomb.
Other key men for them are ex Monaghan players Shane and Ciaran McManus, Darren Connolly and Ted Duffy.
Lisnaskea beat Doohamlet by 3 pts, 2 years ago in the ulster final. I seen from websites they beat Bundoran, Sarsfields of Armagh and gave Derrylaughan of Tyrone a right trimming. Doohamlet made hard work of winning the Monaghan IFC final this year. They should have won a lot more comfortably than they did but hung on in the end. Deserving winners though and far and away best team at intermediate level in monaghan. Still, they'll came back down from senior next year as they have a paper thin squad. But their first 15 are strong and I think they are presently at full strength.
It'll be a good game between Doohamlet and winners of Swatragh / Cavan champs.

We (Lacken) played Tyholland in a challenge game earlier in the year. I thought they would won intermediate in Monaghan.. maybe not as good as Doohamlet if they were beaten in the final
We were close to full strength that day bar Ray Galligan. Think they were missing one or 2. They had a very good wing forward. Meegan I think it was.

You sure it was a Meegan? No Meegan's play for Tyholland. Karl O'Connell normally plays for Tyholland in that position. O'Connell was a regular on the Monaghan team this year and scored the goal against antrim in Clones so it sounds like him you're referrring to.
A potential Killeavy - Cookstown fixture looks like the tie of the round.
In the Ulster JFC championship, you have to look at the Tyrone, Monaghan and Cavan clubs for a winner. Clubs from these counties have dominated the ulster junior club football championship. It's hard to look beyond previous winners Drumhowan in this competition. Though Brackaville and Mountnugent would be good contenders I suspect.
If Cookstown win the Intermediate in Tyrone, can they represent Tyrone in the Ulster Club Intermediate series?
As they won the All Ireland title, I thought i read somewhere that they could not compete again at the provisional Intermediate level for 5 years.

Never heard tell of that rule now; if ye win your championship at your respective grade you are automatically catapulted into Ulster in that grade.
Donegal's Junior final is on this Sunday between Moville (2009 Junior Champions) and Downings.
The Intermediate final is at the semi final stages, with Termon playing Aodh Ruadh on one side, and Naomh Colmcille (2010 Junior Champions) v Buncrana/Carn in the other one.

Nah, wasn't sure that's why I said I think. Yeah it was O Connell , looked very lively, stood out as being a County player. Meegan doesn't even sound like O Connell so dunno why i even thought of that name

There is a rule in hurling that restricts participation across Ulster, but I think that is to do with the inconsistent nature of the championship structure across the counties in Ulster. I could be wrong.
In saying that, I found it strange when seeing Eoghan Rua camogs winning another All Ireland at Intermediate this year. That craic shouldn't be allowed.

Think they just won the Ulster Senior B. There is an Ulster Senior Club that was last won by Rossa I think.
Cavan IFC Final Replay FT Score Lacken 3-10 Cootehill 1-9
Niall McKiernan scores 3-3 for Laken.
Former county player Jason O'Reilly is change of Lacken, one Ulster Minor winner from last year and two U21 Ulster winner from last two years. Quality players and strong team.
Downings beat Moville by 0-10 to 0-5 in todays Donegal JFC final.
Down JFC Final
Dundrum 0-15 Aghaderg 0-06
Club has won its 4th JFC since its inception. Special praise goes to Dundrum centre half forward Marty Coughlan who at 42 years of age must be the oldest championship medal winner in the province this year.
Any word on Antrim IFC replay?
Aghagallon won by a point.
lacken beat Swatragh by 0-7 to 1-3 in Ulster club intermediate first round.
Warrenpoint beat Bosco by 3 in Down IFC Final.
Watched Down final today and it was poor stuff. Can't see that Warrenpoint team making much impact in Ulster. They at least have a few good individual footballers though and are obviously doing something right in that club since they won minor and reserve chips as well.
Lacken had to beat Swatragh and the ref today, he was very biased towards Swatragh. Seems to be a regular thing for Northen refs to favour "one of their own".
When is the next round of these games?

What sort of comment is that to make? I mean, in a one-point game surely if he favoured Swatragh like you said he'd have made sure they won? f**king idiot.
partionist my arse, ive seeen it before in schools football, college football, yesterday was a terrible performance from the ref. lots of shite refs in the south ,so it probaly evens it self out.

Can you not just simply say that the ref was biased instead of saying he was a 'Northern' ref 'favouring his own'. That oul chat never goes down to well and you'd think an ulster man like yourself would know that.

Biased yeah, bit of a slip of the tongue statement saying "favouring one of his own" , we are all in the one province. Kind of the same as Somebody from Connacht being involved in a game with a team not from Connacht.
Swatragh missed some relatively easy scoring chances, FF caused a lot of hassle but his shooting was poor, Centre back was a good player, Lacken took a while to settler but over all were the better team. Will need to score more than 7pts if they are to beat Doohamlet.
I was a neutral at the game Rodney. Well I actually found myself favouring Lacken due to reading Saturday mornings Irish News, but it was no odds either way to me. Can't say I seen all these biased decisions you speak of tbh. Overall Lacken were deserving winners IMO, albeit it was a very poor game to watch.

Well I saw 3 lacken forwards dragged to the ground in the first half and poor calls in the second half. One of those players would a bulldozer to knock him over, he didn't just drop to the ground for the craic. I couldn't believe some of those calls.
What did the Swatragh manager say in the Irish News?
It is in the blue bin out the back, but the jist of it he said he seem ye play cootehill the other week and you were useless in the middle of the field and friel and young kearny were gonna clean ye out and from that platform they were gonna beat ye well

Well one of our midfield players is 38, playing his last year, thought he was good against Swatagh, maybe the Cootehill game was different as they had John McCuthcheon playing out of his skin. Our regular midfield player was dropped for the replay, not sure if the Swatragh manager was referring to the drawn game or it.
Sorry about the "Northern jibe" .. Nothing against anyone from the 6 counties, we are all in Ulster.
Some reports of racism from one of our players against Cootehill, club has a bad enough image now, without me saying that.

Don't bite my head off but there is definitely a perception by a lot of Cavan supporters that we rarely get fair play in Ulster when the referee is from the wee 6. Nothing to do with partionist or pro-union sentiments. I have walked away from too many games in Ulster, especially at underage level cursing the referee and at times it is hard to argue against the perception.
Do they play the ulster intermediate and junior games as a double header?
Quote from: hardstation on October 23, 2012, 10:21:17 PM
For a county that gave us Joe McQuillan, you boys should know that some refs are just shite and aren't out to stitch up "free staters" or "nordie brits" or anyone else.
Lol. Excellent.
Hardstation the refs were much better during the days that Cavan were winning Ulster and All Ireland galore.

I'l see your Joe Mc Quillan and raise you John Gough. Oh trust me we know all about shite refs in Cavan. But you expect a better standard when it comes to Inter-County or Ulster club. Unfortunately that is rarely the case. Maybe the standard of refereeing up north is just plain shite. I'm trying to remember the last man from the 6 to referee an Senior All-Ireland final. It's a while ago. He must have made a balls off it and sent 4 men off or something crazy like that.

Have been informed that Lacken are a great bet to win the intermediate cship especially after beating a fancied Swatragh side a week ago. Couldn't get any outright betting on it before this though. Cookstown I'd imagine will be favourites courtesy of having won the AI 3 years ago though you would wonder how they are allowed to re-enter the intermediate cship again so soon. Killeavy are a good enough side but are very young and also heavily dependent on Stevie McDonnell who is injured at the minute. They also play Cookstown so I cant see them getting past Cookstown without McDonnell.
On the junior I think Drumhowan could go all the way. Junior football in Monaghan is a fairly high standard compared to other counties.
I wouldn't be as quick to dismiss Killeavy without McDonnell, huge loss yes if it's true but they've been playing top flight football all year (as have Lacken). Any time I saw Killeavy play this year McDonnell's main scoring contributions were from frees. Cookstown have experience on their side, be an interesting match up all the same and could go either way.
Think it would be wrong to dismiss any team for the Ulster intermediate and IMO it is a wide open comp. Ive seen Aghagallon a few times and for my money Mark McKenna is one of the best forwards in the county on his day. He has had a torrid time with injury in recent times but if he can stay fit he would be a match for any defender with his blistering speed. Dawson could do a lot worse than give him a chance at the county setup.
8/15 Doohamlet v Lacken 7/4
8/15 Killeavy v Cookstown 7/4
10/11 Warrenpoint v Teemore 1/1
Looking at the betting Cookstown are the bet of the weekend. I actually thought the betting was the wrong way round. Cookstown are AI champions of a few years ago and should be favourites for this game and I have been reliably informed that Killeavy are without McDonnell who is injured. Take the price while it lasts. Also Lacken must be a good bet at 7/4, although Doohamlet are at home and aren't a bad side I thought Lacken would be slight favourites for this game considering they beat a good Swatragh side already.
If Stevie McDonnell had been fit I would have fancied Killeavy to beat Cookstown. I spoke to some relatives from Granemore who said Killeavy are a good young footballing side but McDonnell is still the main man. Too much will rest on Ciaran O'Hanlon to produce the goods and while he's got huge potential it's probably a bit much to ask of him to carry the scoring burden. I think Cookstown's experience will win it out for them. They're rightly favourites for Ulster. Experience at this level counts for a lot - witness Craigbane last year.
Doohamlet v Lacken is a very hard one to call. Lads from the Killinkere club have told me Lacken are ideally siuted to play ing football at this time of year - a very phsyically strong team with Joe and Trevor Crowe the enforcers. Finbarr O'Reilly is the key man I believe, kicking long accurate ball into Ray Galligan. They play a very simple route one style. They're a top 5 senior side in Cavan which shows their consistency.
Doohamlet though are not a team of shrinking violets either. They lost their league final at the weekend so a lot depends on how they can lift themselves from that. But again they came very close to winning the Ulster title 2 years ago and have about 13( i think) of that team lining out this weekend.
I'm gonna predict an awful game of football, littered with frees and Doohamlet to win it by the minimum.
Some Teemore supports i've spoken to are not that confident of their chances with Warrenpoint. they're reckoned that while they strolled to the title in Fermanagh, their form in senior league was a truer reflection of their form. Warrenpoint will be the best team they'll have met in championshipt this year. I beleive Warrenpoint made hard work of beating Bosco who had several players suspended. If Ross McGarry isn't getting the scores will Warrenpoint get enough to win? again a very close one to call - I'll go for Warrenpoint.

Watched the Down IFC final and it was really poor standard. I think Warrenpoint are an average side even at this level, but I will admit I don't know much about Teemore although they were narrowly beaten in last years SFC final in Fermanagh (another strange conundrum how they can be allowed to compete at IFC level). On that basis I would fancy Teemore who will be well schooled by Paddy McKeever although it could go either way.
On the bit about Cookstown being favourites for Ulster, I think most people would rightly presume this to be the case and yet the bookies have them priced up as 7/4 outsiders to beat Killeavy.....pile on at that price.

Down sides at Intermediate and Junior level are up against it in Ulster from the start. The standard at these grades in our county at present are woefully poor. Warrenpoint are an average Division 2 side in Down and have been for some while. The likes of Lacken, Teemore and Killeavy have all been flirting in the upper echelons of Division 1 in their respective counties this year. The Point would be way off this standard.
For as long as I can remember our Leagues have been correlated with our Championships. Where you finish in the League in the previous season then determines what Championship you play in the following year. It is the most honest system available and most of the other Ulster counties are now starting to follow suit. There is no recent history in Down of choosing what Championship you play in or dropping down a grade when you feel like it. If this had been the case in the past ten years a bit more success might have come our way at Ulster level.
Since its official inception no Down club has reached an Ulster JFC or IFC Final. We have only made two JFC Semis and were found out in both. No Intermediate side has made much of an impression either. It would be interesting to see the stats but Id say across these two levels we probably have the poorest record of any county in Ulster.

Was at the intermediate game in the Athletic Grounds as well and Cookstown were a well drilled slick outfit who had a clearly defined gameplan that Killeavy failed to counteract. The game was effectively over after Cookstown scored the goal since other than O'Hanlon (who strangely didn't start), Killeavy looked lacking up front. Mullan in midfield and Gilmore up front played very well for Cookstown. Stevie McDonnell had an off day for Killeavy and its possible he was carrying an injury.
I think whoever wins the semi between Cookstown and Doohamlet will probably win the c'ship.
Doohamlet looked a good side today against Lacken. Dominated from the start, Colin Walshe was impressive at centre back. They had a player sent off in the first half but still led at half time 1-5 to 1 goal. They also missed a penalty. They had 7 players booked in the second half,
I thought they way it was going they would have a few more sent off in the second but it was Lacken who did, 3 players from Lacken sent off in the second half. Finished 11pts to 1-4. Ballybay is quite an unusual ground.

Killeavy were very disappointing, with only O'Hanlon looking like any sort of threat to the Cookstown backline. Hindsight and all that, but he probably should have started. If he was fit enough to play 45 minutes, then he could have coped with the full 60. He may have grabbed a score or two in the first 15 and knocked some of Cookstown's early momentum.
Given the importance of this game for Killeavy he shouldn't have played a full game on the previous day for St Paul's Bessbrook especially when they had already qualified for the MacRory Cup.
Well it's rare that a senior team is heavily reliant on a school kid but we all know if your picked to play by a teacher then you can't say no. You would imagine the 2 management teams would have been in communication beforehand.
Don't know if it would have changed the result but Killeavy were effectively beaten by the time they brought o'Hanlon on.

Only in a time long past. In colleges' football the club always comes first and schools work around county underage competitions which are arranged in a parallel universe to the one where the colleges authorities exist and arrange their fixtures. As usual the children suffer.
St Paul's were playing a team which had quite a few players withdrawn by club teams playing on Saturday and Sunday and didn't want to play until next week when all were available.
Enda gormley withdrew his glen minors from st. Pats maghera this year during mcroary games when they were competing in ulster minor cship.

Was at the Morgan Athletic Grounds today.
The Junior game was poor enough stuff, only twelve scores altogether and only four in the second half. Thought Port Mor were much the better team, but failed to pull away because of some dodgy decision making when in possession. Things like loads of hugely ambitious 40 yard balls when a simple handpass overlap was on, or half a dozen wee handpasses around midfield when they had free men screaming for the ball on the wing. I'd imagine they'll need to improve considerably if they want to go further. Dundrum were awful. The ref was crap too.
The Intermediate game was slightly less awful. No doubt the better team won. Killeavy were very disappointing, with only O'Hanlon looking like any sort of threat to the Cookstown backline. Hindsight and all that, but he probably should have started. If he was fit enough to play 45 minutes, then he could have coped with the full 60. He may have grabbed a score or two in the first 15 and knocked some of Cookstown's early momentum. Thought Michael Murphy also battled well for such a young lad, another one to keep an eye on over the next few years. Other than that Killeavy were poor. Cookstown were streetwise and better organised. The big guy Gilmore caused Killeavy a lot of grief. Their support was hard listened to though, a rare bunch. Woeful nicknames too - Boco, Pixie - ffs.
As a Dundrum man I have to admit that we were very poor today. Id say that is probably the worst that we have played all year. We went into that game after winning 24 matches in a row and going unbeaten in Down all year. It essentially amounted to diddly squat as we were beaten by a better An Port Mor team on the day.
As alluded to earlier in the week, football at Junior level in Down is keek. We were never challenged all year. An Port Mor were physically too strong for us and probably should have won by more. We are reverting to three divisions next year. Hopefully our county can improve its Ulster JFC record as a result of these changes.

Ballybay is an odd ground for sure! It's a good quality pitch , but access in and out leaves people bemused. I was at Clones for the double header so can't comment on their performance. However I'm not surprised they had a man sent off and so many booked as they are a team that play on the edge and have a lousy disciplinary record. Colin Walshe is a future Monaghan captain in my opinion, an outstanding player and leader.
Rodney, how do you rate Doohamlet's chances against Cookstown?
Drumhowan were lucky to beat Downings. I'd of made Drumhowan favourities to win the JFC competition due to them winning it a few years ago, but I think some Drumhowan lads must have thought all they had to do was turn up and win. Downings competed very well but lacked inspiration and Drumhowan showed some character to claw back a 4 point deficit at HT to edge out the win. I still think they'll beat An Port Mor but they'll want to improve greatly if they have aspirations of winning it out.

I'd give them a good chance. They had their tactics done on Lacken, Ray Galliagn was well marked and Niall McKieirnan when he switched to ff, They were aware of the high ball ball tactics Lacken would usually play.
They have a solid defence and midfield, maybe lack a bit of class in the fowards. The Centre forward was decent but not in the Eoin Mulligan class. I remember the 2009 ulster final against Lavey and Raymie Mulgrew ran the show, he is in Oz now afaik. Cookstown half back line was very impressive that day too.
Give them a good chance though, if they play with the same hunger as yesterday.

Ordinarily would fancy Termon to get to the Ulster final but a tough fixture schedule could leave them susceptible to a defeat against Aghagallon on Sunday. Could well leave the door open for QWarrenpoint to get to the final. Either way I think the real Ulster final will be the game between Cookstown and Doohamlet. Would expect Cookstown to win it though.
A lot of talk about this Doohamlet team and their main player Colin Walsh Can anyone inform me of their strengths and their chances against a more formidable opponent Cookstown

I was at both games in Enniskillen. Drumhowan were my tips for Ulster JFC. It shows I know nothing! Everyting was in Drumhowan's favour - a point up at half time and then An Port Mor had a man sent off shortly into the second half. It was all set-up there for Drumhowan to win. There collpase was a total surprise as the first half was even enough and Drumhowan looked to have enough to edge out a win. There is no doubt Drumhowan missed Darren Duffy who is a key player for them but they totally lost their heads. Credit to An Port Mor and espcially Collie Holmes who grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck. He did the simple things well and kept his head when others were losing it around him. The second half was completely one sided and in the final five minutes the Drumhowan players tempers got the better of them and had 3 sent off. If An Port Mor play like they did in the second half, they'll make it a good final, but if it's like they played in the first half, it's Brackaville's to lose.
Cookstown won the Intermediate match as expected. But they were made fight all the way in a bruising encounter and truth be told, Cookstown were very lucky it didn't at least go to extra time. Cookstown got of to a flying start 1-1 up after 4 minutes and they looked like they'd be rampant. Big Gilmore was proving very dangerous and there were moving the ball well out of defence. Thereafter Doohamlet settled and were completely dominant for the remainder of the first half. Their problem was finishing , they missed a goal and 5 or 6 point efforts. Even though Doohamlet led at half time, this wastefulness came back to haunt them in the second half.
Cookstown effectively won the match in the third quater of the game. Conor O'Hare and Barry Mulligan got on top in the middle for a 15 minute spell and they got 4 pts on the trot. Then Doohamlet's FB was sent off, but Mugsy should have got the line too. After that it was all Doohamlet. They were camped in the Cookstown half but again their wastefulness was their undoing. They came migthly close to a draw when Paul McArdle hit the post with a free. This was effectively the final of the compeition and I expect Cookstown to beat Warrenpoint handily.

Then Doohamlet's FB was sent off, but Mugsy should have got the line too. After that it was all Doohamlet. They were camped in the Cookstown half but again their wastefulness was their undoing. They came migthly close to a draw when Paul McArdle hit the post with a free. This was effectively the final of the compeition and I expect Cookstown to beat Warrenpoint handily.

Explain, if you will your reasoning behind this.just out of curiosity. Slightly disingenuous to the other teams in that side of the draw,no?

We aren't as bad as I was thinking a fortnight ago. How did Cookstown Doohamlet go?
I was at both games in Enniskillen. Drumhowan were my tips for Ulster JFC. It shows I know nothing! Everyting was in Drumhowan's favour - a point up at half time and then An Port Mor had a man sent off shortly into the second half. It was all set-up there for Drumhowan to win. There collpase was a total surprise as the first half was even enough and Drumhowan looked to have enough to edge out a win. There is no doubt Drumhowan missed Darren Duffy who is a key player for them but they totally lost their heads. Credit to An Port Mor and espcially Collie Holmes who grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck. He did the simple things well and kept his head when others were losing it around him. The second half was completely one sided and in the final five minutes the Drumhowan players tempers got the better of them and had 3 sent off. If An Port Mor play like they did in the second half, they'll make it a good final, but if it's like they played in the first half, it's Brackaville's to lose.
Cookstown won the Intermediate match as expected. But they were made fight all the way in a bruising encounter and truth be told, Cookstown were very lucky it didn't at least go to extra time. Cookstown got of to a flying start 1-1 up after 4 minutes and they looked like they'd be rampant. Big Gilmore was proving very dangerous and there were moving the ball well out of defence. Thereafter Doohamlet settled and were completely dominant for the remainder of the first half. Their problem was finishing , they missed a goal and 5 or 6 point efforts. Even though Doohamlet led at half time, this wastefulness came back to haunt them in the second half.

I would expect the same outcome to be honest. The winners of the Cookstown v Doohamlet game I always felt would win the final fairly comfortably. The draw was very lop sided and Warrenpoint took advantage, fair play to them.
Any word of a venue for either game?

Why bring the Junior game to Newry?! It makes more sense playing it in Armagh, with the Senior/Intermediate games in Newry.
i would expect cookstown and brackaville to win their finals very comfortably.

Why? I'm no expert on Junior football. But I can mind seeing an port mor play division 2 in Armagh not too long ago when there were four divisions. Cookstown I agree should win handy as they came through the hard side of the draw and W'point aren't up to much imo.
Any odds on these finals available?
i know its a different province but finuge won the munster ifc on sunday past without paul galvin (suspended) and eamon fitzmaurice (broken jaw). they still have quality even without those 2 boys - with likes of pat and maurice corridan having played for kerry in recent years too.
finuge and cookstown would make for a good all ireland final.
Will cookstwon win on sunday ?
its hard to see them not winning, but then again - paudie hughes is refereeing so anything could happen!

I have to confess that I know little about An Port Mor except they were half decent a few years ago playing in the intermediate grade and then lost a lot of players went back to Junior although have bounced back to intermediate football next year. I know more about Brackaville and I fancy them to follow in our footsteps and lift the Paul Kerr cup they are very mobile and hardworking and have a few good options to spring from the bench also. Brackaville by +6. I heard both teams have already played in a challenge game this year??? Although I'm not sure if this is true.
Good luck to the lads today. Been a great year so far with winning the league and championship, hopefully we can add to it by becoming Armagh's first Ulster Club Junior Football Champions.

think brackaville underestimated their opponents lot of talk about celebrations for after the game at the teamtalk awards in bundoran on the friday night from their award winning corner forward
An Port mor Ulster Junior Champions 2012, has a nice ring to it :P. Great performance from the lads last night. 3rd trophy of the year and an All Ireland semi against Ballinasloe from Galway to look forward to on 26/27 January.
Game started point for point for the first 15 minutes as Brackaville dominated midfield although they were unable to capitalise and only led 3-2. We then ended the half with two similar goals and led 2-03 to 0-06 at the break. Second half was end to end and we led 2-06 to 0-08 when Brackville were reduced to 14. Their number 8 sent off with 2 yellows. Rightly so i believe as Brackville were fouling our centre half forward (who got motm) off the ball the whole game. I think the difference was the full forward lines. Everytime we got the ball we looked dangerous coming forward whereas Brackaville had to rely on a number of frees.
Hopefully Cross can win today to secure the double for Armagh.
Any updates on the intermediate final?
Cookstown won in extra time. 3-13 to 1-11
Was at the Athletic grounds and cookstown made hard work of it. Their defence was solid but midfield and forwards were poor enough. A couple of opportunist goals helped by slack defending was the difference, but they did well to grab the draw at the end after mcgarry missed that free. Discipline decided extra time and cookstown kept their heads. A few crazy challenges near the end by warrenpoint but overall cookstowns experience stood to them
Warrenpoint will feel that they should have won the game in normal time. Cookstown were workmanlike without being brilliant, it was a lack of discipline that cost Warrenpoint in extra time.

cookstown play charlestown in the semis now i think.
for any of the mayo posters - what are charlestown doing in intermediate?
they've a good pedigree in the last 10 years or so at senior level: mayo & connacht sfc winners 2001, mayo sfc finalists 2007, mayo sfc winners 2009.

Thery won the Intermediate a few years ago, went up to senior football and were subsequently relegated. They were never anywhere near a senior championship. Charlestown, according to the above post, have won the Mayo SFC as recently as 2009.
I think Cookstown will be too strong for Charlestown. I think the competitive nature of Tyrone club football stands to lesser lights such as Cookstown and Greencastle who have won All Irelands at Inter/Junior level in recent years. The introduction of these competitions been a favourable development for Tyrone clubs considering Crossmaglen's dominance at senior level. Errigal Ciaran continue to remain the most successful club side Tyrone have ever produced in provincial terms, but the good quality spread of club football (with no outstanding team like Cross) has been really beneficial to the county team.
Mayo football would be as good as anything Tyrone can offer, if Charlestown were SFC winners as recently as 09 they must be some use.. Though I'm thinking theyve been decimated by emigration for them to have made the drop?
Went to Newry on Saturday Night expecting Brackaville to prevail although it became clear after 15 minutes that Brackaville where in trouble they got their tactics completely wrong and hung their full back line out to dry. An Port Mors gameplan was simple and effective although also required a lot of hard work. An Port Mor filtered men behind the ball and when breaking up the pitch they did so with speed and direction getting good early ball to their inside men. Brackaville did not have one forward in their forward line to match Port Mors CHF and two CFs who where a joy to watch. The final score line kind of flattered Brackaville who where lucky to Port Mor didn't find the net twice before the short whistle and I feel Brackaville really underestimated Port Mor. I would now love to see Port Mor go on now and give the AI series a real rattle, they werea very entertaining team to watch. Anyone on here got the inside track on Ballinasloe? How would they stack up against Clonbur?
I see Charlestown are favourites with the bookies to win the Intermediate All-Ireland. I'd have thought Cookstown would be likelier favourites.

I'd have thought Finuge would have been favourites but its hard to know when these teams have never come up against each other before. A lot of it is guesswork.
Ballinasloe seemed to cakewalk the Connacht JFC while Castleknock annexed the Leinster equivalent minus Ciaran Kilkenny. Kenmare from Kerry play a Limerick offering in the Munster JFC Final this Sunday. The Kingdom side have destroyed their two opponents on route to the Final and going by Kerry's tradition at this level they should be a good outfit.
From watching An Port Mor at close quarters during our Ulster Quarter Final with them, it was very obvious that they were suited to football at this time of year. They are physically very big with a dogged defence, imposing midfield and tricky forward line. It would be great if they could go one better than Derrytresk did last year.
Don't rule out a Kerry clean sweep this year....senior, intermediate and junior.

Our aim at the start of the year was to win Division 3 and we have far surpassed those expectations. To be sitting here in December one win from playing in an All Ireland Final in Croke Park is unbelievable.
Dromaird pearses were 1/3 against Derrytresk in last years all ireland semi, and Derrytresk hammered them on the field (AND OFF IT!!!!!LOL)
on the kerry website, kenmare were sitting 4th in division 2 (above the likes of finuge, an gaeltacht and listowel) . that is after 8 games though - not sure if last 3-4 games were played or not.
paul o'connor plays for them - pretty sure he has 3 all-ireland senior medals, while stephen o'brien won the cork sfc last year with ucc. think he has been called up to the kerry squad for 2012. he scored 0-6 from play last weekend against the cork champions. i'd say they will take some beating at junior level.
Am I reading right - Finuge, the Kerry intermediate champions are not only in the same league (Division 2) as the Kerry junior champions Kenmare, but are actually below them in the league? How does this work out? :o

Intercounty players will miss a lot of county league games for their club due to intercounty commitments, intercounty subs will often be allowed play though. So Finuge would have missed Galvin more than Kenmare missed Paul O'Connor.
Another Kerry team, Scartaglin won the Junior B (a.k.a. Novice) Provincial title as well. Does Ulster or even Ulster counties have such a competition?
Not sure what tactics you're referring to Up the Blues, but i thought it was a great game played by 2 sides who went for it from the very start. An Port Mor kept it tight at the back but hit the full forward line quickly and directly. The ref. probably didn't do Brackaville many favours with the free, when they were straight through on goal, but that shouldn't detract from the fact that Port Mor were the better side by a good stretch. We opened up the Brackaville back line all night and on another day could easily have had another 1 or 2 goals. We had 3 or 4 forwards that Brackaville couldn't live with, and the sending off was for repeated fouling on our star man on the night, Davy Curran. It's been a fantastic journey for An Port Mor and it's great to be in an AI semi final.
Charlestown will be a tough nut to crack they should never have found themselves at Intermediate level but under Denis Kearney they are moving in the right direction again. He managed Castlerea to Roscommon senior titles a few years ago his teams are always well organised & they play to their strengths.
Ballinasloe won the junior Connacht championship comfortably they beat Oran in the final. Oran's cause wasn't helped losing their full back after a few mins and another player seeing red early in the 2nd half but it's going to take a good team to beat this Ballinasloe side.
So Cookstown play Finuge in the All Ireland IFC final - should be one to look forward to!
Looking at the Finuge team yesterday and there are several players still playing from when they played us in the 2005 junior final.
Trevor McKenna, Pat Corridan, Eamonn Fitzmaurice, Maurice Corridan, Enda Galvin (came on as sub yesterday),
Paul Galvin, John Griffin, Mike Conway, Raymond (Regi) Galvin started against us in 2005. Cillian Fitzmaurice & Chris Allen came on as subs.
So basically 11 of the 18 players used against us in 05, played yesterday.
You would imagine they are an old enough team now especially if Enda Galvin is still playing. he won an all ireland with kerry back in 2000.
i'ts a wonder Eamon Breen still isn't togging out!
Eamon Fitzmaurice (captain), Pat Corridan, Maurice Corridan, Paul Galvin, Enda Galvin, Cillian Fitzmaurice & Paidie Galvin also won Kerry senior championship medals in 2007 with Feale Rangers.
Pat Corridan was full back on that Feale Rangers team and I would expect him to pick up Mugsy. He was also on Kerry panel in 2008 and for a while in 2009.
Maurice Corridan won all-ireland medal as a panellist with Kerry in 2009. He played in a few league games that year. He's a very good left footed midfielder.
Despite Finuge's pedigree I would still fancy Cookstown to do the business.
Despite the bitter disappointment for an Port Mor it was a fantastic run for the club. I know it means very little when you lose but the 2nd half performance was indicative of the spirit they had all year. The boys at the other half of the Parish have enjoyed the success of the County lads in the last 10 years but the success of an Mhaigh and an Port Mor at club level this year is something else. 'Clonfeacle abu'
with kenmare & castleknock drawing again yesterday, what way does it leave things?
will cookstown v finuge be a stand alone game on saturday?
The junior semi final 2nd replay is the curtain raiser to the AI intermediate final. Very hard to predict winners in these games since there is no obvious form guide, but I'd imagine Finuge will go into the intermediate final as favourites.
Castleknock and Kenmare is turning out to be an epic between two quality junior sides, impossible to predict the winner on Saturday! As for the intermediate, perhaps the Tyrone side's experience in playing at headquarters and their strength in depth on the bench may give them the edge. Still, I have a feeling that Paul Galvin will be the key player on the pitch and his hunger and determination will greatly help the Munster champions, should be a great spectacle for all Tyrone and Kerry fans.

Cookstown seem to have a lot of players with County experience, am I right in saying that they have both the 2008 and 2010 All Ireland Minor winning Captains playing in their team? Added to that, didn't Raymie Mulgrew get MOTM in the 2004 Minor final?

Anyone see a pattern here, 2012 a Derrytresk beat a Dromid side in the All Ireland Junior Championship and their reaction is weeks of hyberbole and hysteria surrounding the game, the Kerry County team beat Tyrone in Killarney and they celebrate like they have just won the All Ireland and lastly Cookstown beat Finuge in 2013 and again the reaction is hysteria and hyberbole. The conclusion is Kerrythat people are sore losers. I have also had enough of this crap about what Kerry have acheived in the past. Their past acheivements have absolutely no bearing on what happens in the here and now other than the next generation of Kerry players will be compared to previous generations. It's also very rich for Kerry folk to gloat about their sucess over the past hundred odd years given that up to us Northerners had more pressing things to worry about other than Football. Its time Kerry people woke up and smelt the coffee that they don't have a devine right to win all the time and occasionally someone else reaches the top table and deal with it!
Hahaha.Hop away back to your bog barney! It's only tyronies that think Kerry have the divine right to win all the time. Only fair and civil people will conclude that cycnism and cheating have no place in our sport.
Comethekingdom I have had enough experiences to back up the assertion that Kerry think they have a divine right to win all the time and the fact that they absolutely loathe us Northerners. One such experience occured in Boston when some "ould boy!" from Kerry saw me sporting a Tyrone jersey and proceeded to scream at me that Tyrone were an ambomination. Don't come on here and slabber about Tyrone teams using foul play to win and about them cheating. All winning teams are able to push the rules to the limit and can execute the skills of the game to the highest level (Crossmaglen are a fine example of such a team and what a team they are!). It sounds like Finuge were good at pushing the rules to the limit but couldn't match Cookstown's superior football skills cue mass whinging by Kerry folk again now thats funny! I hope RTE bring in extra staff to man the switchboards for Liveline tomorrow!
