Derry pretty much swept the board early last year in pre season competitions etc in both codes, a far cry from that this year with hurlers shipping heavy defeats

[tbrick18]

Well done St. Pat's on winning the McCrory. Should have won by much more, but showed some real discipline in those last few mins to not concede a free and take the win. Some tidy looking players there.

[OakLeaf]

Definitely. This Maghera team have been improving game by game. A bit more accuracy today and it would have been comfortable. MacRory finals are never handy, and that Donegal team were a very good side.

Disappointing for the hurlers against Kerry yesterday. Was expecting Kerry to win, but thought it would be alot closer given the way they were dismantled by Kildare.

Two heavy defeats in a row now for Derry, and Kildare in the next round could be a similar story is their luck doesn't change soon.

It's been a disappointing year so far for Derry. I'm sure they'll improve as the year goes on, but there are some great clubs with top hurlers in the county. What is the thing that will take them to the next level?

[JE23]

Great to have another Derry school winning the MacRory again, hopefully these lads can push on and win the Hogan also. Nice to see Derry underage teams back to their best after a good few lean years. Fair play to the lads pushing our schools, county and club teams.

Congratulations to maghera. They'll do well to beat that kerry team though

[Interstellar]

Dominant all over the field but I don't think that I have seen worse or more wasteful team in front of goals. They should have hammered AVC. Do the spend any time practicing their shots?

Loup is Decky McVey
Slaughtneil still searching for a manager - Adrian Cush turned them down recently

Good to read Cahair Okanes tweet that Paudi McGrogan  made his comeback in a challenge game last weekend

[jb77]

DERRY were given a boost at the weekend when Padraig McGrogan made his playing return after a ten-month layoff following his cruciate knee ligament tear.

The Newbridge man suffered the injury on April 25 last year, five days after his county's Ulster SFC defeat by Donegal.

He missed the rest of the inter-county season and, more painfully as it turned out, his club's incredible run to a first Derry SFC title since 1989, beating then-All-Ireland champions Glen in the final.

McGrogan had become a real mainstay in the Derry defence since the beginning of Rory Gallagher's reign, growing into one of their most reliable and consistent performers.

He played 35 minutes of a challenge game against Fermanagh at the weekend as two fringe teams met, with the Oak Leafers running out comfortable winners.

Speaking after their defeat by Kerry in round two of the league, Paddy Tally said that McGrogan, Conor McCluskey and Niall Loughlin were all aiming for March returns to the team.

McGrogan's return to competitive action might be a few weeks away yet but it's a good sign for Derry, who are dealing with something of a defensive crisis.

Gareth McKinless became the latest ACL victim, suffering the tear before Ballinderry's All-Ireland intermediate campaign through which he played before succumbing to the injury. The 2023 All-Star will miss the whole 2025 campaign, with his clubmate Niall O'Donnell also out for a lengthy spell after hamstring surgery.

Conor McCluskey missed the whole club championship and underwent groin surgery in the post-season, and his recovery is still ongoing.

With the retirement of Chrissy McKaigue, it has left Tally to start his reign with just two of the starting back six from their 2023 Ulster-winning campaign namely Eoin McEvoy and Conor Doherty.

Steelstown's Donncha Gilmore played wing-back against Tyrone and Kerry in the opening two rounds of the league but he then suffered a shoulder injury on Sigerson duty with DCU three days after the Kerry game.

On Saturday evening, Derry host Galway in one of their two remaining home games knowing they realistically need a positive result if they are to claw their way out of relegation trouble.

They have Dublin, Donegal and Armagh all to play away from home, with Mayo coming to Celtic Park on St Patrick's weekend for the Oak Leafers' other home tie.

Great to hear that McGrogan on the way back, but he'll need time to get back to his best. Mad to think we only have 2 of the back 6 available from our Ulster winning side. Always going to be a struggle in those circumstances and then add the new rules.
