Derry Club Football & Hurling original

[Derry Optimist]

The late Frankie Kearney who died this morning was a great Gael - loyal Glen club man and committed Derry County supporter.He was an outstanding Manager of Derrry in the 1970's and he and his terrific bunch of players shared many great victories at  Provincial level.

He will always be remembered with great fondness for designing the crest for the Derry County jersey and all County GAA official insignia.

He was also a skilled organiser at County Board level and his meticulous attention to his financial duties as Ciste Gael  coordinator will never be forgotten.

For many years he was the highly respected Principal of Holy Trinity College in Cookstown.Deepest sympathy to all  his family and the Glen club in particular.

Rest in peace dear friend.

Sorry to hear of Frankie's death, he taught in St. Paul's, Kilrea, for many years also. Derry manager for back to back Ulster titles in 75/76 and indeed a great Gael. Many of the players on those teams would attribute their senior success to Frankie's vision and leadership - and at a very difficult political time trying to bring men from the Bogside and South Derry together to train. He was a font of knowledge re all things GAA and I think he was on the Glen team which won the All Ireland Scór Quiz in the 70s. I measc laochra na nGael go raibh a anam Gaelach.

Good luck to Slaughtneil tomorrow, despite injuries they probably should have enough to win. Would be the first ever Derry club to win back to back Ulster Club titles never mind the double Ulster treble!

Would this be the first time the actually have 3 regulars injured ?  It would a 'big ask' to start Barry McGuigan but the also have other good players but lack match experience at this level.  But being a special bunch I think they will manage a win.

Does anybody have provisional Derry panel? Any of the ego's who abandoned the county last year invited back?

Good god a donegal and tyrone man guiding your u age teams never in a million years would tyrone think about outsiders.

A million years is a slight exaggeration you arrogant pr**k. You had a derry man managing your u21s not that long ago, peter doherty.

[quiganmaster]

Got to feel sorry for the cattle around Slaughtneil, the poor f**kers never get milked!

Congrats to the Emmetts, stronger than last years team?

bit of a difference to a Tyrone man who never lived a day in Derry in his life. It's ok, you're welcome to him....

Definitely, in my opinion, some of the younger ones playing with greater maturity now and putting up bigger scores, whch is a must to challenge for the Andy Merrigan. Fantastic achievement,

[tbrick18]

Some achievement Slaughtneil, and it has to be said, well deserved.
Definately stronger than last year as they have become a much more attacking outfit whilst still maintaining the defensive part of their game.
I cant see them beat this time around. I think they will, and should, win the whole thing this time around.
