Delighted for Aghaderg to be back in the jfc final they really deserved to beat Drumaness and were never behind the whole match obviously Dundrum will be favourites but for a club that has been decimated by transfers in the recent past this has brought a real buzz into the parish today everyone played their part in a gutsy performance with the half back line and midfield outstanding well done lads and management
now lets win .....................

A great achievement for Aghaderg considering the number of high profile players you have "lost" over the past couple of years. 
What has turned things around?  Who is the manager?

Down JFC Semi Finals
Aghaderg 2-09  Drumaness 0-11
Dundrum 4-09  Aughlisnafin 1-06

Did i here that McComiskey picked up a fairly heavy knock in the semi final and would be a doubt for the final?

Do Fin have any chance of winning the JFC?

It would be such a heartening story for young clubs/struggling clubs if they could pull it off.

Cannot see it.
It will be a Dundrum vs Drumaness final.
That would be a good showpiece for a Junior final.

Any one shed any light what has happened at Mitchells?
They seemed to have completely imploded.

Drumaness won the JFC in 2010 and got relegated from Division 3 the same year so citing their current League position is irrelevant. League form means diddly squat come Championship time and Drumaness are still rightfully favourites for the JFC.

A fair enough point.  I suppose the group nature of the JFC wil give them a chance because they should get back into a winning habit.  But still think you are the better outfit.

Took a trip down to Division 4 yesterday to see Dundrum.
The game was over after 10 minutes.
Teconnaught were very poor.
Going backwards at a serious rate of knots.
Dundrum seem to have recovered well after the set back of relegation and with McComiskey in the team will have far too much for the other teams in Division 4.
They also have another few nippy forwards and will definitely be favourites for the Junior Championship considering the poor form of Drumaness in Division 3.

If Benny has picked up an injury, James needs to get on the phone to Paul and get him back.

It is disappointing that Keith Quinn has headed off to the States as he might well have started against Fermangh in the USC. Our list of injured and unavailable players is growing, and it all makes life increasingly difficult for James. In addition to Quinn,  Marty Clarke, Caolan Mooney, Peter Fitzpatrick, James Colgan and Luke Howard have all left the country. The injured include Dan Goirdon, Danny Hughes, Dee Rafferty, Declan Rooney, Liam Doyle and Anton McArdle, while Paul McComiskey opted out of the entire NFL programme. The strength of our squad is certainly going to be tested in the run-up to Enniskillen.

What is the story with McComiskey??  We need him back on board for the Fermanagh match.  He at least needs to be an option from
the bench, if not starting.  I know he is back playing with Dundrum and playing well.  Is he going to opt back in??
Can any of the Dundrum posters shed light on this??

Long time Lurker.  First time poster.

Having looked at the new proposals for the league structure i think that they could do with a bit of tweeking, of that there is no doubt.
The idea of getting the league finished up before August is to to be commended.
Look at the ridiculous situation that Carryduff and Tullylish find themselves in this weekend.
A disgrace that this game is being played at this time of the year and neither has had a competitive game in weeks.

The current proposals need to have a division 3 split after half the games.
As stated previously this will give those clubs of a lesser standard something to play for.

With emmigration becoming a huge problem in rural clubs, you may find "bigger" clubs status will also be affected in the coming years.  You may seen some of the regulars of our first and second division on the slide.
These proposals will give clubs the chance to regroup quickly whenever(IF) these players return.

They are worth a shot.  As all ready stated, if they fail we can always revert to what we had
