Should be another exciting game ahead today, I fancy portglenone to do the business, the only thing they would worry me would be complacency on their part. Great opportunity for them to get to a final this year.

I didn't see it DIE,but then I wasn't officiating,just saying what they were cross about,and what I seen was no 23 with a busted mouth,DMc K had a good game in my eyes,not having a pop at them,just repeating what they said about the officials conveniently bot seeing it

Whether you were officiating or not, you are human like the officials. In the same way that you can only look in one direction at a given time, so can they.

It's a major part of the problem when it comes to the abuse the officials receive. The ridiculous expectation that they must see everything. And if they don't, it's "convenient" or they are blatantly cheating.

Pathetic.

As I said,just repeating what was said by a dunloy person in the dugout area,I know they're human,as I said,D Mc K had a solid game,I don't expect him to see everything, 4 umpires and 2 linesmen are there to help with that,maybe it can be picked up on the stream what they were incensed about

Stiffler why would you think portglenone would be complacent??

Stiffler why would you think portglenone would be complacent??

Just how could PG1 feel.complacent...?
They were well and truly dismissed almost at leisure by a LD team which proved only squeezed past Enda's next time before being ousted by a team which found the going tough when Creggan visited...?

[imtommygunn]

I doubt they would be but it just seemed like an odd comment.

St Malachys just about win but as expected for the other games. By reading the report does seem ardoyne are getting a lot better (have been for a good while anyway).

[bannside]

Marty Kane well thought of at Ardoyne, definitely has brought them on noticably. A manager/coach at the start of what could be an exciting journey.

[Dunsilly King]

LD are a team well in decline. Their peak was 2016-19. Minus two county men as well with poor under age. They were there for the taking. Dunloy deserve credit to come from intermediate and get that result. Buts thats as far as they will go. Truth is there are only four serious senior teams, Cargin, Creggan, Portglenone and Aghagallon. A gap exists between them and the rest. However its grt to have a potentially new developing team make a break through.

Jerome Quinn does love paddy kelly

Tight game here but not fantastic.

[Old Time Hurler]

Creggan were completely awful today. Portglenone done what they had to do. Some strange decision making by Creggan with the late frees aswell.

Hon Dunloy 😃

Been a long time since Cuchullian's won a senior county football title......1936, but they look on the road again.

I'm conflicted. Equidistant between dunloy and portglenone, who to shout for 😀

Cheer for Creggan then

Hoping for a Dunloy Ports final now 😉

The draw still to be made yes?

[imtommygunn]

Yeah I thought Creggan were terrible too. Dunno how they got so bad. Portglenone will have bigger tests but definitely a well setup outfit. Not sure how that goal went in at all but they'd have won it regardless.

Wins for glenravel(by 10) and sarsfields (by5) in the intermediate.

[country bumpkin]

Jeez that was poor...........but only a quarter final plenty time for improvement........

Creggan have  endured lotta injuries to key players and that it shows.........

[stiffler]

Well done portglenone today , fully deserving of the victory and will seek to go one further than the last number of years now the path has opened up.

[EOC1923]

Good win for Portglenone, did what they had to do to get through in what would always be a game of narrow margins.
Some strange calls by Gaelfast on the line for Creggan, leaving Ruari McCann (their own best forward) marking Portglenones best forward Oisin doherty. People in attendance can correct me but it looked like that online.

[Hoof Hearted]

And for St Teresa's
How does semis line up in this ?
