[When was the last time it was done in Derry?]

The last time was Carrickmore 77-79. They had a chance to emulate it but lost in a replay in 2006 to Errigal Ciaran. In my opinion that team never recovered from it. It was a massive disappointment as most of them had their medals but had grown up hearing about the 3 in a row teams.
When was the last time it was done in Derry?

Ballinderry '11/'12/'13
Bellaghy  '98/'99/'00
Ballinderry '80/'81/'82

Bellaghy also done in the 60s, not sure which years

Was Damian Cassidy part of the 3 in a row Bellaghy team?

Just getting round to reading the Tyrone herald this morning
Damian Cassidy said clonoe also have an u21 final coming up. Is that grade 2 as I'm assuming the Greencastle fianna game is grade 1?

Why would you assume that it was a grade 2 final?

We're are in the grade 1 final with 7 of the players in the senior panel u21. Healthy stuff

Great going for clonoe to be in that position and the envy of most other clubs. The only reason I thought coalisland was grade 1 is that they usually are grade 1 at minor level. Who do you's face in u21 final?

Completely unfair asking half the panel of each county finalist to play a game 24 hours before the county final. I'm sure panels are stretched enough as it is with injuries, suspensions picked up as the championship has been run off week on week.

reserve championship games go ahead this saturday AFAIK

All 3 divisions?

If anyone has the fixtures email post it up

Not sure about Dungannon as a venue. Atmosphere and all is good but the pitch is very small compared to the likes of Omagh.

Anyone have the fixtures for the week ahead? Any word of reserve championship?

Shane Coney has retired, from 2011 final Clonoe have lost 5 starting Defenders only one left is Aidan Brady!! Along with Colm Donnelly and a few other panel members!! Some achievement to be in a County Final with that drop off level.... for a small club.. about 220 members

What about Damian Burke is he injured?

Forgot about colm Donnelly, he was a handy player. You's had a couple of good minor teams lately which seem to be coming through. What age is mcnulty at full forward?

What about the fella coney who used to play half back for clonoe, has he retired?

Very impressed with clonoe today. They play a great brand of football. Great variation between long early kicking into mcnulty and mcalliskey which caused EC quite a bit of bother. Also strong running game at times with half backs pushing forward for 3 crucial scores. Very impressed with number 5 and 7 for clonoe and no 2 who pushed forward for a tidy score. Some great fetches from colm Doris and Stephen mcnulty was very impressive keeping tabs on Peter Harte and also driving forward, got a great score with his right. Mcnulty on the edge of the square for clonoe is capable of winning any type of ball and is a real threat in the air. Clonoe sub McClure (I think) showed real battling qualities to win a free as the game was being closed out. Only worry for clonoe Wor be injury to Shane o'hagan. Not sure if it is serious. Surprised colm Doris never got more of a chance for Tyrone, any time I seem him for clonoe he has been excellent. Mcnulty in mid field would also be due more county game time you'd think. On a side note shane Mallon was very impressive for killeeshil in the junior game

Just having a look at the proposed fixtures.
From what I understand there is:

Division 3 League fixtures on Saturday 12th of October.
O'Neill Cup Final- 13th Of October.
Reserve Championship- all Divisions 19th Of October
Ulster Championship First Round- 20th Of October
Return to the ACL- Weekend 26/27 and weekly thereafter

I don't know when they are going to be able to pencil in the Reserve Championship Q/F, SF and Final. People suggested Garvaghy but that would mean all three divisions playing all these rounds up there (very windy even on a mild day- never mind November). That's 21 games to take place in Garvaghy. (Quater Final (four games), Semi Final (two games) Final (one game)= 7 games per division. 7 games X 3 Divisions= 21 Games.

Try and fit these in during the week AFTER the 19th of October. Dunno how to.

Where did you get those from? Emailed to club secretaries?

What about junior and intermediate final? Will that impact a round of fixtures in division 2 and 3?

When the hell is the reserve championships going to be played. That's the question everyone wants answered.

Many of the clubs who have reached the latter stages of the championship will have used quite a few of their reserves as subs in their championship games. Surely the first round of the reserve championship should have been played by now?

Sure it's only reserves, who gives a f**k about ye! Now could you all show us the great Gaels that you are and fill out the attached form  

County board mentality alright. I'm assuming the reserve championship will add at least an extra week to the league season. First round Friday night games are out due to light. Co board will hardly schedule reserve championship Saturday and then senior and reserve games on Sunday?

Couple of fixture queries if anyone can help

When is the junior and intermediate finals taking place?
When is the reserve championship fixed for?
When is the next round of league fixtures?
Will they be Saturday or Sunday games and will there be a game very weekend? Surely the county board could release the schedule for all these games or even update the website?
