Just finished Slow Horses latest season.....not it's finest hour. Watchable is about as good as I could say.

Thought it was fantastic myself.

I really enjoyed it too Jackson Lamb has to be one of the all time great TV roles

Over the moon just over the moon, back to back for the first time since 66/67 ,it's an unbelievable achievement for that group of  players and the management ,

Good pitch, both ball catchers up too.

Agree with you 100% on that but it's not asking too much to have dugouts for championship final /semi final underage games I think

Might as well have a guess at weekend games
Glen v Magherafelt        Glen - AET -1
Newbridge v Slaughtneil    S'Neil  - 2

Foreglen v Limavady        Limavady - 3
Greenlough v Glenullin    Greenlough - 4

Moneymore v Doire Trasna  Moneymore -5
Slaughtmanus v Glack    Slughtmanus -2

I would agree on the back pitches at Owenbeg - the lack of dugouts is very strange, it was noticeable at Feile with players sitting along the sideline, making it look a bit amateur. I would think venues will be fixed after tonight as potential for Ballinascreen to be in 2 finals so might be waiting for that.

That is the one t

The back pitches are the ones closest to the A6.
Pitch 1 running parallel to the stadium pitch which is the same size, good lights will surely be the pitch that's used... It's the one that has been used up until now when not using the stadium pitch

hat I am talking about (back of the stand )

Golden Years
Changes
Under Pressure

Jack Doherty showing again what a boost he would be for Derry if he would commit, Magherafelt very impressive Conor Murphy looks really sharp  Conal &Dan Higgins and  Michael McEvoy were also good

Loup nearly pulled of the mother of all comebacks but Dungiven held on to win by two ,

Truely pathetic from Drumsurn, no ambition, embarrassing from them. The county board should insist on keeping the integrity of the compo and play the relegation playoffs, and heavy fines for Drumsurn if they do not field, threatening demotion to junior if they have that little ambition.

Ah come on now that's harsh, like has been said they haven't had a proper reserve team in years and they've been amalgamated at underage for over a decade now

They had 21 names in their squad for the senior championship tie, they only need 15 to play the remaining two games. Its got nothing to do with a res team or underage-nothing.

Just thinking half that panel are well into their 30s with just an intermediate league to show for it, they could have a championship in them yet

To be fair to them they had four subs togged out against Faughanvale  and between injuries and fellas working away they have had very low numbers at training  this past while

A very enjoyable minor semi final between Dungiven and Screen in front of a huge  crowd tonight, 1-12 to 1-11 to Dungiven at full time

I'm 55 and he is along with canavan and connelly one of the 3 best players I have had the pleasure of watching

Maurice fitz would be top of the tree for me in terms of natural talent, closely  followed by Clifford, Canavan and the Gooch

I thought the reserves clinched it weeks ago, but did newbridge field a strong team today?

From speaking to my brother who was at the game Paudie and CD were  back but Callum & Conleth McGrogan and Mark & Oisin Doherty  were amongst  our absentees

How are Eamonn Young and Patrick McMullan getting on? I seen they were playing. Would hope they push on to senior level with Derry fairly soon.

Patrick has been going rightly , (has been playing  in the half forward line the  games that I have been at )Eamon has been carrying an injury niggle and hasn't been playing too much but apparently was very impressive yesterday

Sorry to hear of Slaughtneil's Bernard (Bun) Cassidy's passing. A great guy, gone far too soon. Condolences to all the family.

Think he might be the last person to score four goals in a Derry championship match.

Would agree 100% with that, RIP Bun

I know it's the"only" the league but with beating Ballinderry today it's nice to have won our first one since 1989 ,(our reserves in a strong position to win their league as well )
