Sigerson 2015

[rodney trotter]

UCC are hosting the Sigerson so will be eager to retain it. Paul Geaney wasn't playing today,
They have alot of key players from last years team still there, Tom Clancy, Ian Maguire,Conor Dorman, Conor Cox,

They should win their semi final pulling up while the other two will likely have to fight tooth and nail. UCC also have the best manager of the four teams left.

Yeah UCC are always strong in fairness but they remain untested this year. I can tell you that this years ITS team is the weakest we've had for a few years and we stuck with UCC today. I don't see UCC winning when they get a real test like DCU or even UCD.

IT Sligo were missing Evan Regan injured Mark and Ryan McHugh away on Donegal team holiday. UCC don't seem as strong as last year. The winner of UCD v DCU should win the sigerson.

Never made it to the game today, but from informed sources, UCC were sluggish enough. Would agree with the opinions above, UCC should be winning by more, but then again they were missing 3 inter-county Seniors today.
Ian Maguire and especially Paul Geaney were huge loses. Fergal McNamara is a very good man marker aswell but is playing with Stacks on Sunday.
Those 3 would make a huge difference to any Sigerson team. UCC haven't been beaten at home in donkey's years in Sigerson either, can't remember when that last happened.

ITS were only missing Regan. McHughs were there

They were not there and both sides were missing three starters yesterday.

They beat DCU last year, although a few players like Paul Mannion no longer there. Jack McCaffrey plays in the half forward line and playing well.

My info is that they McHughs were there. Mark McHugh being on holiday with Donegal is nonsense, sure he wasn't even on the 2014 Donegal panel

Strong enough looking side. Who is manager of UCD these days?

That was the Sligo lineup for yesterday...you are right about 1 thing, Mark McHugh wasn't on Donegal panel last year so surely not gone on holiday. So..where was he?

My understanding is that they were there. I can only assume that they were injured.
Based on this lineup that is a pretty poor ITS side.

[rodney trotter]

Both McHugh's played the full game last weekend against Dublin asaik.

[Syferus]

The McHugh brothers were listed in the program. Strange particularly when Martin is the manager. Maybe the delay changed the availability of the McHughs. Looking at how the game went you'd have to wonder what ITS could have done with the McHughs, nevermind Regan.

As I said previously, if Maguire, Geaney and McNamara had played, even if the McHugh's and Regan were there, I think the result would have been the same.
Geaney and Maguire in current form would improve a team massively. Not sure how McNamara is going, will see for Stacks tomorrow.

This McHughs thing is odd I must say.
