Saturday, September 8th
The Elk Senior Football Championship Quarter Finals
at Glen (4.00pm):   Ballinascreen v Bellaghy
at Glen (5.30pm):   Loup v Dungiven

Sunday, September 9th

Saturday September 22nd
The Elk Senior Football Championship Quarter Final
at Greenlough (5.00pm):   Ballinderry    v Kilrea


Don't see why our match couldn't be played as part of a double header with the Kilrea match. 2 of our panel will be playing in the All Ireland final... but hey what else do you expect!

is there any reason why the other 2 games won't go ahead this weekend?

Are the other 2 matches definitely postponed???

Hang on I think I'm finally getting it!! I think the other 2 matches are dependant on the Hurling Cship as both Screen and Dungiven so if they win tonight would be involved in the final which would affect the football then too. Along with that there are also 2 Screen lads on the Derry Minor team.

Screen were told last night that all games would go ahead this weekend... we could do with some sort of clarification on this today if it's true. I'm guessing decisions were made too late last night to make it into the Irish News today.

Derry are in the process of finalising the Senior Cship quarter finals. Heard this morning that they were all on this weekend but now the website has fixed one for this weekend and another for 22nd September. Hopefully it will be finalised by today!

Shield?? Wha???

Our match against Bellaghy is on at 4pm Saturday in Glen... tough tough game for us and probably hitting us at the wrong time. Now that we're down to the knockout stages of the competition this is where traditional championship teams flourish. Bellaghy are a traditional championship team... we are not. We'll give it a rattle though!

Team America...

Guy in Bar: See, there's three kinds of people: dicks, pussies, and assholes. Pussies think everyone can get along, and dicks just want to f**k all the time without thinking it through. But then you got your assholes, Chuck. And all the assholes want us to shit all over everything! So, pussies may get mad at dicks once in a while, because pussies get fucked by dicks. But dicks also f**k assholes, Chuck. And if they didn't f**k the assholes, you know what you'd get? You'd get your dick and your pussy all covered in shit!

I'm sure I'll think of more during the day!

Dumb and Dumber...

Lloyd: What the hell are we doing here, Harry? We gotta get out of this town!
Harry: Oh yeah, and go where? Where are we gonna go?
Lloyd: I'll tell you where. Someplace warm. A place where the beer flows like wine. Where beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. I'm talking about a little place called Aspen.
Harry: Oh, I don't know, Lloyd. The French are assholes.

Well done to Derry and the Screen lads in particular... great to see a good representation from our club and indeed their can be no complaints about the managements biased selection as there is a wide range of players from Senior to junior clubs both North and South Derry.

I think I might make the trip down to headquarters now for the final and I'd be fairly optimistic of us against Galway but it should also be a very entertaining game. Doire abú!

Just to throw it out there but who gets player of the championship so far??

Thinking about it I would have to say Nicholas Murphy at this point!

If Fay does get one I think it would be akin to the Allstar that Peter Canavan got in 2005... not deserved! He has played OK in some matches but he got cleaned out against Cork and he was just OK against Dublin. Kevin McCloy has been immense in every match he's played and hasn't put a foot wrong all year. He's far more deserving of an award that Paddy Bradley may well get for his performance against Dublin... McCloy was MOTM that day!

Any Sligofan would only have donovan as an allstar. No better corner back in the country.

Well we have 2 better in Derry but that's neither here nor there. I didn't se much of Sligo but I think you definitely deserve an Allstar for winning Connacht and if he's been your best player then he should get it. It depends a lot though on whether it's done as an anonymous poll from the players or a democratic process throughout managers, media and players.

Ah HA! Good work Rick O!

As for you Will... we knew what we were doing all the time ... in fairness though whereas before Screen would have been out first round, we'll have at least 4 games in the championship. With the young team we have at the minute that can only be an advantage.

4 championship matches in 1 year... I think  from 1999 we played 14 games and won 5 with 5 first round exits!!! The new system is a massive improvement as far as I can see.

Unless Canty has a MOTM performance in the final I have to say that Kevin McCloy should get the FB spot, Fay was massively overrated this year IMO!

Cavanagh is dubious and I think Whelan or O'Sé (Depending on AIF performance) will get the nod there.

Will Moyles get one?? Not sure about that. I think Stephen Bray had a better campaign than Moyles although I'm not doubting he's a talented footballer.

Wouldn't give one to Cahill, possibly Lynch from Cork or Damien Freeman he was immense for Monaghan all year as was McQuaid and I think Monaghan deserve 2 All Stars.

Sligo possibly deserve one... how is it picked? Is it the media or the players. If players then I would say there will be someone else who would get that CB spot other than Donovan, likely Henry.

Other than that I would agree with your selection for the rest.

Have to agree with Ben... Fast Eddie would be legendary to go on the rip with and hopefully you'd get some of his sloppy seconds as well... very nice!

Teddy Sheringham... A great man for the partying.

Joe Brolly... For the banter, markd him once and we may as well have been drinking he wouldn't stop chattin' the whole match!

Tony Scullion... Have been out drinking with him and some of the stories are legendary!!!

It would be particularly harsh on us as we're the only team left in both championships (at the minute) and some of our players would be facing 3 cship games in less than 2 weeks. I really can't see the county board forcing that on us... but as you say Billy, you never know!
