Derry Club Football & Hurling original

Magherafelt looked good tonight although inexperience showed also.

They really put the Glen keeper under pressure in the first half and he buckled.

Didnt see it, well is the Mfelf keeper good enough for Derry? He be a big plus with 45 and long range frees?

What's happened to Glen? Thought they'd all be in or near their primes still. I suppose making 4 finals in a row and winning 3 of those in a row isn't half bad lol but thought they'd make a real push this year for at least an Ulster

Hitting their prime but the 2 clubs to beat them have had some serious underage success recently. Keeps it looking interesting for the next few years with Slaughtneil bringing through 1 or 2 real quality players every year and Lavey on the way back

Had this discussion at the game, fully expect him to get a chance. Thought he was absolutely superb tonight. Even getting involved in shutting down Glens kick out. His 45s had another 10 yards at least on them.

Not sure Rory Kavanagh has brought anything to Glen, I appreciate that Malachy O R is a tough act the follow but defense looks bit shakey now, keeper struggles with Kickouts and forwards game plan seems to be just get the ball to Ethan or Jack. Serious footballers in there so has to be better way of playing for them.
Magherafelt superb team, watched there warm up and standard of speed and fitness is unbelievable. Cormac Murphy is a great ball carrier, holds it up at the right time and goes at teams at the right time and the support runs are always there. Dan Higgins run with Derry has raised his game to another level also, just big honest footballer.

The video for the game was top class today. I have seen a huge improvement in their production. Well done to them. Keep it up.

Seems to have been some controversy in the junior game between glack and Slaughtmanus going by Facebook
