Sigerson Cup

Best team won in what was one of the worst ever Sigerson cup finals. The nonsense of playing young players twice in two days has to stop.

Riveting stuff.

Another Ros player wrecked by over use/abuse due to this college sh1te.
It should be a bit of craic played over Oct/Nov and have their Leagueswithout Co panellists in Spring.
Of course that would mean amateurism and seems we ccan't be having that.

Heslin was the difference from frees and play. The quality of the tackling was the stand out element of a game in very difficult conditions.

As an aside in this thread, does noone see irony of supporters of a self professed amateur game proclaiming ownership of players for their county / club and attempting to dictate what games they should be allowed to play in?

DCU aren't the first group of lads to come away from Jordanstown with just 2.2 to their name.

No dobut it will be sweep sweep on the timewasting and cynicism here.

UCD kicked another 3/4 wides after kicking their 2 late points. They kept going. Only one being cynical is you.

Best team won. It was a poor spectacle, but the conditions were never going to allow anything else.

Sweep, sweep.

What a complete fist the ball fest, without doubt a ruby league/Union type of hybrid

Weird turn of events when it's DCU that are the saving grace of the Sigerson on here. Thankfully UUJ's purchase agreement on a Sigerson fell through yet again. DCU built a team, UUJ bought one in. That was the difference.

+1

And of course we remember each year at this time that Dr George Sigerson was a proud Tyrone man from Strabane.

The sheer irony of a Tyrone fan complaining about this!

If you have no interest in this competition (which you clearly don't) then don't watch it and don't bore us with your snide comments.

Exquisite!

A former secondary school teacher of mine whose son played some ball likened Sigerson football to basketball
And that was 20 years ago

Well done UCD. Keep up the good work. Now do it again next year.

The irony ain't on this side of the table.

The irony is on the people who want to sweep away the suggestion or notion of cynicism when there isn't really a tangible Ulster presence they can blame it on.

As an aside, Kerry are probably an even more cynical side than Tyrone if the last two seasons are anything to go by.
