Anyone know if Rafferty is back for the final?

Really disappointing result for cloughmills on Saturday. Late point took it to extra time and that affected the lads for the first half of ET. 2 evenly matched teams though on a better pitch and better conditions I think we would have got over the line. The pitch was really poor. Leaves on it and dug up really bad. We had a few chances to win it but just wasn't to be. Think the London outfit will have their work cut out by carrickshock though. Good luck to them.

I was pleasently surprised when i seen on twitter that it had finished a draw. The london lads were favs for the game and i was hoping that when Cmills were 2 up they could hold on to win it but sadly not too be.

Its been a great year and adventure for the club and i hope they build on it this year. Well done to them.

Scores were hard to come by. They only scored 2 from play during normal time. Took 2 late frees to level it. Ref gave a few soft frees to both teams but it was one of those games.

The biddies would always have struck me as a team that fairs much better with a dry sod and ball. The heavy pitches at this time of the year wouldn't suit their nimble team.

Yes, definitely though it was the same for both teams. But we couldn't use our pace as effective as in a drier pitch. Game should have been played in November but for the delay to the ulster final.

Bookies have emmetts as 3rd favs above the Galway team and ourselves. A very strong Rossa team only heat Kilburn by couple of points 2 years ago. It will be our toughest game to date but like what people have said you just don't know with London teams. Anyway worry about that in Jan...

Enjoy the celebrations and the worry of booking floodlit pitches during December.

👍 Thankfully we have a good relationship with a few clubs with that facility.

Congrats to the biddies on a good win today. They are a good bunch of lads & had a great season. Antrim & Ulster champions & promoted to Division 1.

The QF definitely in January?
Carrickshock only in Leinster Final against Bray. Richie & John Power, Michael Rice & John Tennyson too.

Thanks for that reminder 😩 Yes weekend of 14th Jan. Don't know much about Robert emmetts

[richie power]

1-11 - 2-6. takeaway the 2 soft goals they only got 6 points. 2. Goals came from 60m frees. Fog caught cmills keeper out twice.

Two soft goals on the telly today meant the O'Loughlin gaels went through to final! Fog for both teams no?

2 point win is the same as 100 point win, well done and now time to prepare for the next game, which is against who??

Coleraine were always going to be physical, won't get any easier come the All Ireland series so good to get a game like that banked!!

English champions in January. winnable but with richie power awaiting in semi that could be as far as we go. This was the target though. Anything else a bonus.

One player! but hey a fecking marvelous player, played against him at Milltown when he was playing for an Engineering firm in the interfirms competition, destroyed us from midfield... Youse get a look at them?

Dont think so. Their final was yesterday. Beat a Kildare team by a couple of points

Poor enough game with the pitch and conditions. 2 very soft goals for coleraine makes the score look close but in reality cloughmills were better all over the pitch. Ref was soft on an over physical coleraine side and kept coleraine in the game with some strange decisions. Not at our best today but happy to win nonetheless. Tough game but best team won.

i know that, i see above that NM got hammered and Coleraine didnt enter this year.

Begs the question as to how they are in the Ulsters now? bit of a hash

Hurling at that level in Derry is just surviving. It's not good enough. As much as I respect ER for making some sort of effort I think Derry as a county don't deserve a place in the Ulster Junior/Intermediate  Championship. Look at what Cloughmills have had to do to get to this Sunday. Intermediate Championship  in Antrim is much tougher to come through than Senior.  Cloughmills fully deserve to be where they are! Do ER?

Not to mention a qualifier. Coleraine at the very least should have had to play that additional game. Effectively they have had 1 competitive game to get to an ulster final. Cloughmills have had 5. That additional game would have no doubt benefitted coleraine in their preparations for a final. That's if they'd have progressed obviously. Nonetheless, still expect a very competitive match come Sunday.

Maybe Coleraine will appeal that decision also.

They got off lightly (discussion wise) on here. I'm sure they'll argue by GAA rules they were within their right to do so. But ethically their decision is horrible and very much anti GAA.

I hope Cloughmills hammer them out the gate. Shame on them.

I'm the same. I really hope they get tanked. Disgraceful what they've done.

It won't happen. Coleraine will bully them not the other way about.

Seen much of cloughmills this year?

Final confirmed for ballymena folks.

It was a coin toss I believe and the biddies won the toss.

Correct. It's in Antrim. I think it will be Armoy or ballymena.
