Derry Junior and Intermediate Championships Thread 2024

[Doire23]

Intermediate championship going along nicely. Only Ballinderry and Foreglen unbeaten. Top 4 and seedings still up in the air. Should be some interesting first knockout games.

Glenullin hammer Coleraine, Coleraine beat Faughanvale, Faughanvale hammer Glenullin, Greenloughs win today bring them back into contention for progression to the quarters, Intermediate is wide open

Definitely looking like the most interesting c'ship of the 3 early doors. By my reckoning Greenlough are out though. Even if they win next week and finish on 4pts & Glenullin lose and stay on 4pts - Glenullin will have them on H2H. Maths not my strong suit though so could be wrong...

Correct, my bad, all is interesting in Group B in the battle to avoid Ballinderry in that case...

Big time. And 3rd vs 4th winner takes all in Group B between Drumsurn and Banagher for a better seeding. If it stayed the same and Glenullin played Ballinderry that'd be a tasty tie!

Glenullin shipping 2 heavy defeats to finish the group stages, they'll be in trouble against Ballinderry...or is it a double bluff

Wouldn't take too much from the group game results. Championship finally starts now

Only issue being that you need to get to semi finals to be in next years senior championship. One of them will be intermediate again next year.

• Castledawson v Faughanvale
• Forglen v Drumsurn
• Coleraine v Banagher
• Ballinderry v Glenullin

Junior Championship

• Craigbane v Ballerin
• Lissan v Ballymaguigan

[LoughNeagh]

Castledawson v Faughanvale - Castledawson
Forglen v Drumsurn - Drumsurn
Coleraine v Banagher - Banagher
Ballinderry v Glenullin - Glenullin

Craigbane v Ballerin - Craigbane
Lissan v Ballymaguigan - Quigan

[OakLeaf]

Castledawson v Faughanvale - Castledawson
Forglen v Drumsurn - Drumsurn
Coleraine v Banagher - Banagher
Ballinderry v Glenullin - Glenullin

Craigbane v Ballerin - Craigbane
Lissan v Ballymaguigan - Quigan

I think Forglen will beat Drumsurn and Ballinderry will beat Glenullin. The other two intermediate quarters are toss ups.

Hard to see past the two you've picked for Junior.

Drumsurn have looked a solid wee outfit when I've seen them. But either way on that one.

I'm betting on Glenullin upsetting Ballinderry.

Ballinderry hasn't set the intermeditate world alight and think Glenullin will have that knownhow to grind out a result at this level when it matters.
