Anyone know when the championship draws are??

Draws for Derry championships set for Tuesday 15 May

[BackInTheGame]

Bellaghy six points up at HT v Kilrea.

Absolutely bizarre game. Bellaghy 11 points up with a man advantage, start trying to slow the ball down, recycle possession etc. Hadn't a clue what they were doing, ended up getting caught several times and we're lucky to escape with the 2 point win.

I left early when Bellaghy were 9 up and went to catch the Lavey/Swatragh game. Two decent sides I thought.

I left early when Bellaghy were 9 up and went to catch the Lavey/Swatragh game. Two decent sides I thought.

Haven't seen either yet this year but Swatragh have some serious talent in that side. The McAtamneys and Kearneys in particular. Still a very young team though, so results like that Glenullin one last week are going to happen. Lavey will be a pain in the back side for plenty of teams too, some youngsters there as well but a lot of their men are hitting their prime around about now.

Glen v Greenlough was another bizarre game. Have to say, Gormley got his tactics absolutely spot on.  Greenlough came to play their blanket defence so Gormley told his boys to let them do that, to hold onto the ball and be extremely patient. A very un-Glen-like performance but worked a treat. Enda Lynn was pretty much unstoppable when he got the ball so Glen, rightly, decided the best way to stop him was to not let him get it in the first place. Glen kept the ball for almost 10 minutes in the second half without losing possession (not an exaggeration - it was over 9 and a half minutes if I'm not mistaken).

He has done club work at my own club, I am almost sure he is an Ulster Gaa coach,not a Derry one.

Whats 'unreal' about this?
Have a really tough task in their first game against what appears to be a really strong Monaghan team with Banty at the helm.
Is there a back door this year?

I see absolutely no issue with Aidy being part of the u17 setup, a top man who's helped many's a club @ the drop of a hat. What are you doing Toby to help the cause?

that answer was hardly a surprise now

[oakleaflad]

Aidan McLaughlin as part of a backroom team is hardly an issue. Did anyone have an issue with Gavin McGeehan being involved with last years team? (someone who had a similar coaching role with either Ulster or Derry GAA as far as I know).

Anyone who has seen any of Campbell's teams play before could not be surprised there was no score in their last game until 27 minutes in. It's an absolute joke that he was appointed by our county board to develop our underage players.
