Can't believe there's not a thread for this! Anyway we're hosting 2 Clubs and the boys division 1 Semi Finals this weekend. It's going to be clean mental around the place. What teams would be shaping up as favourites for this one?
Usually the Dubs send up a team that has 6 physios, a strength & conditioning coach and 2 sports psychologists that all stay in the hotel with them... what way are Ballyboden fixed for this then?

Think bellaghy are raging hot favourites. The Cork and Dublin teams would be up there also. Seriously though the Dublin teams have been well nigh unbeatable in the last few years. Looking forward to the whole thing though and am gonna try to get to the games on Saturday.

A good final it was too, heard any of teams are good enough to win, but theFriday games will be the most important a bad start and your weekend will be over before it starts.
Im heading over tonight, my daughter is on the ny team.
Div 3, hosted by steelstown.
We have a decent team.
Anyone know the address of steelstown gaa pitch? Heading straight there from the airport. Will catch the sligo game too

Their website is www.steelstown.ie, you will have two of the best referees for the Ladies games, i have been told ;)
Thanks - good to hear about the refs.
I checked the website it doesnt have the address for some reason

It is in the ballyarnet/shantallow area lad of the city.From the airport head to the foyle bridge, go over the foyle bridge ye will come to a roundabout. Go straight through the roundabout up the madams bank road. Youll come to set of traffic lights go through them (when green) and youll come to another rohndabout and take your third exit. You will see the pitch on the right hand side. Have a good time and tell everyone the ticklemister was asking for them.
Will do
Thanks ticklemeister
First off best of luck to all involved. It's a great competition and it's a pity it isn't televised anymore, I wonder will there be youtube clips of the games uploaded? The Ulster feiles are often the best run so it should be a great weekend for all involved. We'll have our first ever team in feile 2015 hopefully!
Any other updates? The Derry feile website isn't the most user friendly and doesn't look like it's going to be keeping us updated.
No twitter updates either, disappointingly. Clonmel Commercials are up there in Division 3. How are the divisions worked out? I only ask because the Limerick champions are in Div 2... Was it in Laois last year? I remember the updates from there were excellent. Unusual for an Ulster county, they are usually on the ball with this sort of stuff.

Based on how your previous years representative did afaik, so if they won their division last year, this years county reps would be promoted so to speak. Though I think you can also request to be put in a certain division.

Clonmel Commercials beat Buncrana 3-6 to 2-2 in D3
Div 1D: Bellaghy 3-18 N/York 1-2 - That's some result. You wouldn't expect any team to get that kind of hammering but NY have powered their way to division 1 over the past few years and I thought they might even challenge for this title. Bellaghy must be a real good unit.
Dublin didn't enter a team from Div 2 this year - St Annes, winners of Dublin Div 6 are going in their place
Why heffo?
English teams seem to be doing well so far though I think London, in particular, should be looking to field a genuine club in the not too distant future. Div 3A N/London 0-7 Glenullin 0-4
We beat Austin Stacks today 4-7 to 2-1. A good start for our lads.
Best place for Score Updates will be Twitter I would say.

The feeling was it was getting too competitive and they'd spread the representation across the divisions
No Armagh teams except for a Div. 3 girls' team? What are the entry requirements? Are we just not good enough or did no Armagh boys' teams try to enter? Looks like a great competition with teams from all over the country and beyond.

Tir na nog are in it as far as I'm aware. You have to win your county feile to qualify.
Tir na NOg are in it I'm sure.
I have a young cousin over from San Fran playing, can anyone let me know how they are getting on? Div 5
Thanks ranch and AZ. Tir na nOg are indeed in it. Next dumb question. How are the various divisions determined?

San Francisco are staying in Castledawson and are in division 5B. They won today by 3-14 to 1-4. They play Moneymore (Derry) and Thomastown (Kilkenny) tomorrow.

Christ, that was only the half time score.
Finished Rossa 9-11 Claudy 0-04!
I know what you mean, absolutely disgraceful. Imagine conceding four points in the second half. They should be on the first bus back to the big smoke!
St Annes (Dublin Div 6 winners) through to Semi-final
Ballyboden playing Claregalway in one Div 1 semi and Ballinscreen v Bellaghy in an all Derry semi in the other. San Fran, Clonmel, Ballykelly (Kildare) among other teams to progress to semis. I see NY beat Carrigaline in a high scoring game but both already out. Twitter updates are excellent from Derry GAA but they may as well have not bothered with the website for all the good it is.
Na Fianna (Meath) playing Rossa (Antrim) in one of the Div 2 semis.
Glen (Derry) play San Fran in one div 5 semi.
Div 4 semi finals - 4pm: South London vs St.Lomans
5.20pm:Ennistymon vs Burt
Boys Division 2 Group D goes to 3 way playoff between Tir Na Og, Newcastle West, Moortown
Semi Final Slaughtneil final game will be delayed
Boys Division 6 Semi Finals 4pm: Ballykelly vs St. Rynagh's
5.20pm: Drumsurn vs Tinahealy
I didn't realise Rynagh's played football but they've been doing well at the feile. Good to see.
Girls Division 3 Semi Finals
4pm:Shelmailer's vs Dungarvan
5.20pm:St.Conleths vs St.Patricks
Rynaghs is two towns, well 1 town (Banagher) and 1 village (Cloghan). The football is anchored in cloghan but a good few banagher men would have played. Duignan was a good footballer. They even wear different jersies in the football. Hurling is like tipp, football is like celtic.

I was the referee for this game . Two teams asked to play 30 minutes a half and all players on the panel got some game time as they were already out. I had a great days craic as did everyone else. Good luck to all the finalist tomorrow.
Good man, what were the NY team like? Great to see them progressing to division 1 but they seemed out of their depth this year, is that fair to say?
Hardstation, Burren - the team you guys meet tomorrow were staying with us in Portglenone. Great nights crack with their travelling party in our social club tonite - will have the head to prove it in the morning!
Civil lads all round and even though I know you are supposed to cheer your guests all the way, we need a bit of something to restore Antrim pride after all that's been going on recently.
Should be a cracking game and really sorry I cant make it to Celtic Park. The winners will be a good team!
Must be at least half a dozen of the Rossa lads bigger than Hugh McG going by that picture.
The champions so far are:
Div 4 Girls:Carryduff
Div 3 G:St Conleth's
Div 6 Boys:Drumsurn
Div 5 B:Glen
Div 4 B:S London
Div 2 girls final Kilkenny 2-2, Moyle Rovers 1-1 into the second half. MR with a strong wind but running out of time.
3rd Kilkenny goal!! That should do it, they'll be happy Noreside tonight even if they did lose the hurlin yesterday.
Clonmel Commercials won the D3 Boys final against Baltinglass. Well done lads.
Commercials are a great club and have been doing great work underage for a long time now. Good to see them get the reward of a feile title.
Claregalway 3-4 to 0-2 up at HT against Bellaghy. They had a strong wind in the first half though so not over yet.
Claregalway won 4-5 to 1-6 in the end.
Congrats. to Commercials. Under Age football continues to go well in Tipperary.

the NY boys were very skillful, but had poor team play, would have been good for div 2 i would say. 80.000 dollars to bring a team to Feile so fair play i sure its not easy, i am heading to Philly in 3 weeks time to Referee at the W.Y.C and hope to meet a few of the mentors when I'm over for a couple of beers 8).

No drinking on the job.................... we don't want another Colerainegate episode transaman! We won by a point today trasnaman , but me and the st.lawerences manager (an ex-steelstown player also, we played together in the full back line in the bad old days of Junior football in Derry) had it as a draw. Bit the win puts us into the playoffs. Fair play to the ref!!

All scores.........http://derrygaa.ie/2013/06/feile-results-2013/
What way are the divisions drawn?
Division 1 had teams from Tyrone, Dublin, Laois, Galway, Kildare, Kerry, Cork, New York and then 8 teams from host County Derry.
Is that the way it works every year, or is there any sort of relegation / promotion? (For instance Burren from Down won Div 2, does that mean next years Down champs will be in Div 1?)
Or are the Divisions just randomly drawn?

They must be . . . how else can anyone explain Glen being 2nd in Derry's Division 2 league and being able to enter Division 5 of the All Ireland Feile (the closest any team got to them was 7 points).

I'm told the Derry teams placings were based on last year's Ulster Feile and this year's Derry Feile results, where Glen didn't win a match. Glen probably should've been in Div3/4, but not the club's doing.
i was playing and hosting boys from dublin and they were the nicest bunch of lads about ! we are an u13 team and we werent that good but we weren embarresed and hopefully we will qualify next year but it was one of the best weeks of my life!
We lost to a team from Wicklow. Only good point is we have 13 out of 24 back next year.
Oh dear, I hear those naughty men from glen didn't object to being placed in division 5 even when they saw other wee derry teams in higher divisions. Still, as my late husband said to me 'what do you expect from a cow but a kick?'
