Congratulations to St Patrick's, Maghera on winning the MacRory Cup. Some talent on show today. Certainly argues well for the futire of Derry football.

Went down to Armagh last night fully expecting to see a Monaghan win based on their league performances but to be truthful they played second fiddle to a good Maghera team. Monaghan played very defensive despite having a number of good forwards on the team. Very surprised at this . They seemed to loose their discipline also. How many of the Maghera team played last year? Still cant understand how Derry minors aren't making an impression in Ulster.
Off to Clonoes today to see the College against Omagh. Does anyone know anything about Omagh? Need to up the performance from the last day. Cant rely on Jack Haughey in every game. Expect us to pull through okay

Half time. Bessbrook leading the Abbey0 8 to 1 4. They scored five points in a row to take the lead. Good crowd

Big game tonight in Armagh. Bessbrook and the Abbey. Rafferty V Gormley. Will keep you updated

Eunan O'Kane from Banagher GAA club in Derry, awarded man of the match v liverpool today in the cup tie, plays cm for bournemouth.

Think he was signed for everton as a young boy after impressing at milk cup, was released after a couple of years then came back home and played for Coleraine, Torquay signed him in League 2 and they won promotion to League 1. Bournemouth in League 1 signed him and then they won promotion to the championship where he plays now and if his performance today is anything to go by hopefully he will make it to the premiership.

Did he play much GAA? He must be doing well.

Don't actually know where they are based!!!! Definitely not in the Premiership anyway

Any young Irish lads plying their trade in England? Anyone we should watch out for. Young Down GAA star, Shay McCartan loaned out to Accrington Stanley I think from Burnley. Very Tough to make the break through.

Peter Canavan over Cavan Gaels
Oisin over Crossmaglen
Any more?

I find it a downright disgrace that there was not one game from the Ulster series shown live on TG4. Absolutely unbelievable, given the teams involved and the crowds involved. Kilcoo V Crossmaglen and Ballinderry, all unnoticed.

Is Damian Cassidy over all teams in Clonoe?

He must be something special.

Good luck to all teams tomorrow.

Disappointing result for Colman's last night but seemed to be very close. Hopefully they will build on it. Was reading the match preview and Maghera seemed to be the favourites. Three Rannafasts in 4 years, some going plus a MacRory/Hogan. How good is young Carr and Aiken? Crossmaglen are doing well.
