DCU have to play the Polytechnic and then the winners of that play Queens. Its a very hard draw as both the Poly and Queens would fancy there chances of winning. Do DCU still have the same amount of "payed stars" this year?

Who were their "payed stars" last year?

I remember some controversy about them trying to play lads doing post grads (including Paddy Christie and Shane Ryan) but in the end they werent allowed.

The full foward line of Brogan, Mortimor and Johnson (Cavan) looks strong, and they scored 1-10 of the 2-13 between them. Don't know anything about the half forward line of S. Smyth, Kealon and Cullivan.

Last year's midfield of Owen Lennon and Brendan Egan was very strong. Yesterday Egan was moved to centre back and Dublin panelist Ross McConnell came into midfield. Casey and Diamond the other half backs. Not sure if Bryan Cullen is available this year - I thought he was, but he didnt feature yesterday so now not sure.

Cullivan is another Cavan man he is only just out of minor but is strong as a horse and a great fielder of a ball. Don't think there is a full-back line in the country that could handle that full-forward line.

anyone know what price the guards are for the sigerson? i think they might be a good outside bet.

laughinpaddy · February 08, 2007, 03:30:32 PM

BallyhaiseMan · February 08, 2007, 03:47:55 PM

No, Universities take turns each year in hosting the 'Sigerson weekend' (i.e. semi-finals and finals of both the sigerson and trench cup).

This year Queens University Belfast have the honour.
