Again, no mention in the rules of catching it after the bounce.

Though, as I say, I'm content that it should be that.

Seems he didn't complete the full second bounce so he technically didn't bounce the ball a 2nd time.

There was no discussion on it by the officials on the field.

I wonder did he realise what was happening and flicked it up to himself again - if he did, fair play as it was very quick thinking and him in front of goal.

It's no different to a hurler batting the sliotar off the ground and catching it again to give them another opportunity to play the ball. Bounced it without catching or dropped it or whatever, it just goes down as two separate possessions. Nothing to see here

If not in 'possession' of the ball you can 'bounce' all the way down the pitch

Tonight's Laverty Cup final has been cancelled on the morning of the match. What a farce of a county.

Laverty cup not a county thing...

Postponed because Creggan have a meaningless league game tomorrow night against Cargin. These dates have been known to a long time now. Creggan have obviously boys away and didn't want to play it.

Tir na nog are to play moneyglass on sunday in U17 football @12.00
Tir na nog are to play ballymena on sunday in U17 hurling @12.00

Something has to give there but wondering when/if the information will come

[breakingball]

Who cancelled?

The TEAMS (or one team).

Why?

They don't want to play two nights in a row. Fair enough excuse. Dates are very tight for everything now with the new split season. Trying to make a story out of nothing here as per usual on this board.

looks like the football game has been a refix without the forward thinking of a clash of fixtures

Is there even a SW county board anymore?

Poor for the players involved, but this stuff in common place in Antrim. Tir Na Nog have now pulled out of wed nights reserve champ game v Cargin citing injuries. Why even enter the competition, whole flock of young players itching for a game left with nothing.

Creggan asked to postpone the game the day before it was due to take place. The date has been in the diary for a long time now. They pulled out of a league game against us a number of weeks ago. So it's not like the league is an important competition for them, which is fine. From talking to a few up that direction it seems they have men injured and away and they are using the league game as an excuse to not play the final tonight. It's bad form cancelling a final on such short notice. One of our mentors came home early from holiday for it and another parent came home from working in England to watch his son.

The knock on affect now will be trying to find a date closer to championship time.

When John O' Boyle (RIP) was fixtures secretary in S West...a request for postponement was answered with the reply...Too bad, play or pack..'......
