Collective is the word for Dominic not afraid to involve as many as possible to achieve success.

Some good players on that st Michael's team. No. 6 probably the best, but big lad at midfield the 12.11,13 and 15 all had big games. Omaghs best lad been 13 coming off the bench. His goal was great.

Dom not afraid to pay others you mean to do the work!! Laverty brought in on big money to take the team. Got the rewards but not a great path for schools to have to take. Money should be invested in the preserving the teaching staff as opposed to shelling out money to get others to come in and take the the teams.

I am shocked that a college would be paying for outside coaches.Would Dominic be paying for it himself?.

You serious- dom paying for it! I'm no brain surgeon but I suspect someone else footing the bill!!

[Targetman]

Laverty's not travelling from Kilcoo to Enniskillen for his love of Fermanagh football, at the end of the day money talks!!

If you think that Lavery is taking that team then you are sadly mistaken.
Dom is the boss. Make no mistake about that.
Alot of people like to knock Dom but his record at both club and schools level is second to none.
Every time he manages to win something it's always down to who else he has on the line. Some people don't like giving him any credit.

Great display from St Michaels. Were the better team and the scoreline flattered Omagh.
Very pleasing to see an all Fermanagh 15 playing for St Michaels . Can only be good for the future of Fermanagh Gaa.

One thing that was evident from the game today was that the barbers in Omagh and Enniskillen must have earnt a clean fortune over the weekend with all the fresh faded haircuts

Sadly mistaken ask anyone in the know and they'll tell you laverty Donnelly county board coaches have done all the training and coaching and dom looks after the selection side of things. Smart on his end but paying coaches for schools is a bad precedent to have started IMO

Pretty sure Magherafelt won the MacRory a couple of years ago and they had your fella Devlin from Ballinderry in training them. As far as I know he was the 1st coach employed by a school to help improve their football at all levels

So Dom is the manager. Thanks for clearing that up.

Never said he wasn't !

Coaches have been paid to go into primary schools for years.
The days of teachers taking teams solo is well and truly over.
It's getting harder and harder to get teachers to take teams for many various reasons especially at the secondary level.
Monaghan and Cavan have been sending their county development coaches into secondary schools for a number of years now and it's seen an increase in schools teams winning Ulster schools titles.
Derry have obviously being following the same model with Magherafelt and I would assume with the Derry city team that played in the MacLarnon final today. Kerry county board have also been doing it for years .
Fermanagh I assume send the county underage coaches into St Michaels as these are funded by Club Eirne and St Michaels is by far the most important school in terms of county development.
Non-issue

The Derry City is led by teachers and paid gaelic games officer from council.

Ballybay, Co Monaghan are the winners of the senior All Ireland Community College (Rice Cup) against Boherbue.
An incredible achievement for the college. The game went into ET and Ballybay from a position of 3 points down finished strongly to win by 2 points.
