Kilmacud Sevens, Saturday 21st September 2013

[Fear Bun Na Sceilpe]

I like he look of Coleraine and Glenties. Both have fairly sizeable county contingents and are out of the county championships

Barry McGoldrick was stretchered off in the championship match last night! Unlikely that he'll feature.
Coleraine are an extremely fit team but they've played 2 tough games (Sunday & last night) & were knocked out so may not be in the right frame of mind...

They are really flying and very good at 7s, they are supposed to play intermediate championship hurling semi on Saturday but one of their players said that wont happen as they have booked to go to kilmacuds. Ahhh Derry hurling some laugh.
I can understand maybe a rescheduling of hurling match  due to congested championship football fixtures but for the kilmacuds now that's mad.

[DownFanatic]

Bryansford have a Down Division 1 League game tomorrow so not sure what type of team they will have down.

[Qwerty28]

Any idea what time the quarter finals would be on? Final roughly around 6 or 6.30 if I remember righty.....

Anyone betting on this needs their head looked. A semi serious competition. Have Crossmaglen ever played in it ?

[armaghniac]

Cross had 2 teams in 2009 when somebody beat them in the Armagh championship!

The competition aint as competitive as it used to be, a lot of clubs/counties don't go cause of their own championships running at same weekend or close to. Which is unfortunate as during the 80's early 90's it was a brill competition, so much boozing goes on, our lads usually go on a drinks ban afterwards to prepare for the championship........ the following week ffs

Galls will romp it. They're fine ambassadors for Antrim and the only time they let themselves down was the All-Ireland Intermediate hurling final.

And every time they played Cross

[haranguerer]

Every time they played cross that I saw, cross let themselves down. They always concentrated on the dirty stuff v galls. Big admirers of cross, as you couldn't fail to be with their record, but I know what I saw, 2 years ago they were a disgrace, and that's coming from a fan of physical football.
