"Free count exactly the same for both teams, Cargin won 11 free's in the first half Creggan won 12, no technical fouls, Cargin had a few more advantage calls, one of which led to the goal. Creggan also picked up a yellow card, no notes or cards for Cargin.

Second half Cargin won more frees 11 frees to Creggan's 10. (even overall) Cargin had one for overcarrying call while Creggan had 1 throw ball and one overcarrying call also another yellow card"


How many frees in scoreable positions inside the 45 for each side? A free on the halfway line is very different from a tapover free in front of the posts....

In the second half alone, Cargin had 6 inside or on the 45... Tomas hit one dropped short about 10 feet, Pat missed from the D, Mick hit one short and at the death hit one short, the other two they scored. Watch it back

Colm is a good lad. Does he know how it goes if the match is a draw after extra time?

He'll be grand, this is a great game with no baggage for both team, there's no history between them and both can play. After 13 years Colm has his first final, more than earned, but sure some here know best

Shocked to hear that's his first final. I thought he did the Cargin/Creggan or Johnnies/Hannahstown a few years back. He did a super job of the hurling final last year. Would like to see more of the Laverty's/Doherty/McAuley if this world get trained up to ref some hurling also. I think they would be super at it. Maybe just me, I think football refereeing standard slightly better than hurling.

Thanks for the PM with the referee details MR2. Can't wait to get stuck in next year. I hear the mileage rate is decent! Anyone know where I could get a jacuzzi?

The PM's are flooding in

Forget being a ref. Be a paid manager and get to verbally abuse refs instead 😉

I think Creggan will just shade it. They've lost a few and they will be wanting to rectify that.

Creggan by 3.

That's probably because there's 5 or 6 serving referees who constantly post on here

I'm on here as a ref, I know one more, who are the other serving refs?

Creggan have the experience of playing in recent finals and the hurt of losing another will really drive them on,they have quality , physicality and pace all over the pitch with a decent bench to back it up.Aghagallon have a spread of good players also but probably not enough all over the pitch to get the match-ups balanced and I expect Creggan to boss the middle third so Aghagallon will need to be really good at the back to keep in the game as long as possible ,if they are still in the game with 10 to go this game could go anyway,but Kickhams are favourites for a reason and it's really theirs to loss .Best of luck to both and I hope it's a good open game
