any news of when the club fixtures are out and what is happening with the district competitions this season? have heard that they are not happening and there is no competitive games until first league game which is a long stretch for teams that have been training for past few weeks.

And 4 teams apparently getter relegated from Div 1 ,winner of Div 2 plays the 12th placed team in Division 1 in a play off,,4 teams dropping down from Division 2 also

whats the reasons for this?

[Sure ye canny play senior County at 17!]

Playing a cub of 17yrs of age to be half kilt; when u can pick ready to go county men! That lad way too young especially saying u didnt think he was good enough to start minor 4 months bck; go figure!!

Sure ye canny play senior County at 17!

Twas the old guard coming on in the 2nd half that pulled the game out of the fire. UUJ had enough chances to win it fairness, with a more experienced line up than the starting Derry lineup, it wouldn't have been that much of a surprise.
Young Mooney MotM, he played well and has some long range pass on him. McEvoy and Jack Doherty had fine games with Enda being the standout.
Plenty of much needed experience for the young guns who featured.
Surely the likes of G McKindless and Heavron will be added to to the panel?

Fair play for Callum getting named to play and obviously Damien thinks hes good enough and he has the potential to be a big player in the next decade - but how did Derry not pick up on him being ineligible to play as hes to young before naming the team?

Dont think anyone said that one man would make the team but Im sure the team would benefit with someone of his experience in it. 

very strong tyrone team that for a season opener, whats the reasons for it being played at armagh?

The more i look at that team the more i cannot believe that the likes of a Danny Heavron are not involved as he would be massive this year with a young squad, i know that the Slaughtneil ones are to come back in as well as Terence o'brien and Danny Tallon there is still potential there. Hopefully a good start tonight will go a long way to killing all the negativity about the squad and county as a whole. Doire Abu.

You can add Emmett McGuckin on to the list of absentees - also not called up

So far Lynch, Kielt, Heavron, McGuckin.

Wonder what goalkeepers are on panel, was Postie asked back?

Don't know how a starting player can go from main player to not needed within 2/3 months. I know all managers will have difference in opinion on certain players but to not make a 30-40 man panel is some drop.

From what i heat Lynch has the option to be included and is taking time to think about it. Has been a great servant for his county.

Time will tell, biggest game of the season so far arguably in Newry on Sunday, hopefully another winter of following Slaughtneil ahead. Good luck to Newbridge as well, fancy them to do well in Ulster however Moy will be tough to turn over. Junior Final on Saturday also, if its anything like lasts years it should be a cracker with the Magilligan and Drum game was the game of the day that day.

I hear a few big names not included in senior panel, biggest surprise being benny heron after a very good championship, any truth in this ?
