So for the majority of adult teams that didn't make it through to their respective championship QF, that's it, season over before the end of August. The new split season calendar has fairly shortened the year all round. There is likely 7 months before the league starts again.

Is there any chance we can get shot of the most City biased PRO? Absolutely embarrassing

Every chance. Stand for the position yourself at County Convention, that's how it goes.

Dan is a volunteer doing a great job.

I didn't realise there was event with information on the new Casement Park at the Feile or I would of went. Was there any sort of outline given for a start date?

No certainty of start date, but its clear its not imminent. There was lots of talk about business case, engagement with Gov departments, and the potential of the stadium to regenerate West Belfast and the city. All very upbeat but while I was there (and I had to leave before it ended).

How far from Woodlands to Musgrave?

As the crow flies , about 100 metres but if walking or driving see Tommys post above

100 metres is a bit of an exaggeration (is under exaggeration a term?) but yes, there used to be a direct route that was markedly shorter than going down Finaghy road north then lisburn road and Stockman's lane.

Hope you all enjoyed that written tour of west / south Belfast.

St Brigids played Naomh Gall last night in u14 camogie Championship, it was the first time either club had played u14 C'ship. Great to see

Championship is here, hopefully some great games ahead and a championship that's good for the county.

Think this is a great appointment. Has the potential to be a real game changer, he will surely get buy in from players prepared to commit to his structure and process. Fair play everyone involved. McEntee could be the footballers version of Gleeson.

Scullion would turn Ballymena bleck. BLECKKKKKKK

Sorry, more bleckkkkkkkkk

Our own version 👏👏

The outgoing management team deserve acknowledgment and respect for what they achieved, promotion from 4 and comfortably retaining place in Div 3, I don't but into the 'luck' theory but also totally respect Bannside's view; he saw that team more than any of us over the last two seasons and more.

But the Cavan championship match was a real low point, it was irredeemable and inexcusable. And on championship outings managers will ultimately be judged. We knew we weren't going to win Ulster but we were entitled to think we would be competitive against Cavan.

It's a hard job, almost thankless, and no one sets out to get it wrong. Good luck, goodbye Enda and co.

😂

Judgement being handed down re Casement. Looks like judge is quashing the appeal against the decision, good news.

Is there room for an appeal?

No. Pretty sure this is the end of the road for the residents campaign. Thats the end of the legal / planning issues, now there is a big funding gap to make up and in the absence of an Executive that's going to be a significant problem.

3 years ago we played Derry in a Div 4 league game in Corrigan, where aided by a dubious call by the ref (we should have had a penalty when he gave a 14 yard free for a technical foul by keeper), Derry won by a point. We know what has happened since then.

So what's the difference? Don't think Derry have introduced a big number of new players, in fact RG has stated that the fewer personnel changes the better. They did get Conor Glass back and he has made a difference. Is it primarily the manager (management team), attitude, training methods, commitment? Like, they have gone from Div 4 to Ulster champions. In same period our progress has been limited and in championship terms, non existent.

Very frustrating. I was glad for them yesterday but still, very frustrating.

Shooting is just dire. What happened to this team from Louth match onwards? They look bereft of confidence, shape, system. Shivers is doing very well.
