Quote from: Ball on Today at 12:37:27 PMHave to agree with those on about the lack of promotion from the county board, its getting worse every year. There was more in the mid ulster back in the day! Surely it cant be that difficult to sort.
Still no word of championship draw either?
On the Senior team, be interesting to see if theres any potential stand outs for a call up but cant see it, i think most of the stand out players are there or dont want to commit.
The Ciaran Meenagh talk is silly, "go all out to get him", why would he leave down now? There mustve been a reason he left derry to go to down so as much as id love to have him back i cant see it happening.
More likely tally will bring mcgilly in. Was he involved with a county team somewhere this year too?
Tally might not happen, but it's far from silly. He was with Derry from Div 4, teaches in Ballinascreen and would know the players and staff well. He technically won an Ulster with Derry and got us within a whisker of beating Kerry in an AISF. From what I gather he was offered the role, but didn't want to be the main man as it would have meant giving up his teaching role which he wasn't prepared to do and is fully understandable given how volatile the Senior County Management roles are.
Owenbeg might be a handier drive than wherever Down train, and with players returning we have a lot of potential.
There'd be a lot of positives for Meenagh should he have the opportunity to return, and a lot of positives for Derry too.
