Well done to Our Lady's, Castleblayney who won the MacLarnon yesterday, very strong side and team performance on the day.

That's a great Cavan side.

I agree. The way they took apart Dungannon's blanket defence was a joy to behold and a lesson for any Senior team looking to do something similar. They moved the ball very fast and accurately through footpassing when they turned the ball over and when Dungannon had the blanket set up they were patient in moving the ball from side to side then a long switching kick pass opened them up for the score. It was very composed and a pleasure to watch!!

Young Galligan an excellent footballer. Seen him at close quarters in the Ulster minor final at St Pauls. Big future ahead of him.

Cavan favourites for Ulster minor title this summer?

G who dressed Marty Clarke the day, was that what has been going for style in the land down under past few years, oh boy!!
Marty Clarke WANTED!! for crimes against Fashion!!

Absolute madness and not a shamrock in sight unlike in Ravenhill.

What was worse was the language of Galligan when he described his team mates as being 'f**king savage' in his live interview after the game. Was there not a lad a few years ago in Croke Park who also let a load of 'fcuks' go on the steps of the Hogan? I know lads get caught up in the moment but it doesn't take much for a lad to say a few words without swearing.

The Castleblayney captain who won the McLarnon cup also give an interview at half time in the McRory final where he threw in a f**k on live tv whilst standing beside the school principal. The stairs don't seem to go the full way to the attic with some of these lads.

The Blayney coach who is the principal didnt look to be a happy camper when interviewed just after his star players 'faux pas'. Maybe the BBC need to have a quiet words with lads just before going 'live'.

You would imagine Derry should do better this year as well as Tyrone who had two schools in the last 4 of the McRory.

We've heard this a fair few times recently. Time will tell. Monaghan and Donegal surely to be in the mix.

Congrats to pcd. Incredible achievement for a small school like pcd with a catchment of just 2 GAA clubs - Dingle and Gaeltacht against a school with a panel comprised from 14 clubs

They'd have 3 clubs nearby actually. Dingle, An Ghaeltacht agus Lispole. Not sure if any players from Lispole on current team though.
And you're right. 4 Munster colleges in a row and now going for 2nd Hogan cup back to back..it's a fairly ridiculous achievement for a small school.

I assume given they face a Roscommon team in the final we'll have a 100 page thread on here? Beforehand everything will be set against the Ross team, the venue, the ref etc..then afterwards we will hear how Ross were unlucky and were actually the better team..

Serious achievement by PCD..a lad from Lispole came on in the 2nd half btw lads so there is 3 clubs involved...puts it into perspective. Abbey in Newry or St Colmans or even St Pauls Bessbrook would have the pick of at least 6 clubs and in the Abbey or Colmans case maybe even a dozen clubs...dunno what the Rossies are like but PCD will be hard to beat in the final.
