It was definitely Claregalway is 2013, they beat Bellaghy in the final, beat Ballyboden in semi who narrowly beat Dromore

Claregalway were the 2013 Feile champions

Michael Langan deservedly got it, you couldn't argue but McGeary wudn't have been far behind him

Was there a man of the match given out?

Darragh was marked by Brendan McCole who is an outstanding man marker, probably the best in the country at the minute. He will have better days against lesser defenders

Anyone have the scores from the Feile today?

Grade 1 final ended Galbally 2-5 Cappagh 1-3.

Galbally beat ardboe in the semi and cappagh beat eglish in theirs.

Not 100% sure about the other grades.

Greencastle won grade 2

Anyone got the latest score in the Jim Devlin Final?

Well done to PMG1 who held off stiff opposition to win the big one. PMG1, you win a GUIDED TOUR of Moy Park by a country and western celebrity of your choice.

In a final bombshell, organisers have announced that PMG1 actually hasn't won the overall thing as the 4 finals now come into play, with a whopping 5 points for predicting each of the winners of the four league titles. This could see a 20 point swing. The prize for this is monumental. Apologies to PMG1 if he had already organised a celebratory drink after reading the paragraph above.

Aw Jesus lads, this is worse than the FRC changing rules mid competition. Will pop the cork back onto the champagne here, beating you all twice will be all the sweeter.

I think it's all more sinister than we think. Trump and Musk are determined to weaken the EU which would give the US more strength and continue the world reliance on the US dollar as the go to currency, they need to create unrest in certain countries to do so. They see McGregor as a pawn to stir up racial hate (I think they overestimate McGregors influence in Ireland) and hope that he can cause some friction between the Irish people and the EU. Hence their support for Tommy Robinson and I am sure similar ilk in other European countries. It is worrying times in the world with this gang in charge of the US

The nerves lads, the nerves

A question for any referee on here.
We had an u14 game at the weekend in a development league, mostly P7s on our team. We struggled getting kickouts aways with distance being a problem for young lads playing for the first time on a full sized pitch. The ref then informed us that provided the ball travels 15m and we have no-one in the arc when the ball is kicked, that we can receive the ball in the arc - in other words players can run into the arc as soon as the ball is kicked to receive the ball.
Is this correct? In our first game we were blew up any time a player touched the ball inside the arc from the kickout so its confusing.

In Tyrone and I presume for most other counties at U14 level the kickout rule is the same as last year, I.e. taken from the 21, all players must be outside the 13m arc and the defending team cannot touch the ball until it is outside the 20m arc

The rules I explained are the rules in Tyrone as I think that's where tbrick's lad plays. What do you mean by the 20m arc?

The arc that goes from the 20m line, the 13m semi circle from the centre of the 20m line.
