Derry Club Football & Hurling original

[Derry Optimist]

With the recent retirements I would like to see the following team starting against Tyrone in next year's championship.
                                 B McKinless
N Keenan                  B Rogers                K McKaigue
C McFaul                    C McKaigue            L McGoldrick
                     C McAtamney          P Cassidy
D Heavron                  E Bradley               N Toner
E Lynn                        Colm McGoldrick     N Loughlin

[Low and Hard]

It looks like Gareth McKinless could be back for Derry too! Heard his suspension in the reserves was thrown out after an appeal.  Good deal for the county board. We will forget about all the kicking you do and sending offs you have and let  you play in a meaningless reserve championship final and you play for Derry next year. "Deal"

I wouldn't say a reserve county final is meaningless! No county title easy won.

The very same man giving out to the CB for disrespecting the reserves recently.. And low and behold the man himself disrespects the reserve final.

Sorry I didn't mean it was meaningless. To me the county board said that by letting mckinless off

I think he served his one match suspension missing the dungiven semi final

Clutching at straws
Derry's hope now fall on the hands of a reserve player
O my god

Championship Final Week 
Whats the predictions?
Will the experience of Coleraine see them over the line?
Will Brennan and Downey outfox Sean McGoldrick?

Were originally I thought Coleraine would when this match by a couple of points, I'm starting to swing the other way and think Lavey could very well win this game by the bare minimum. Will O'Boyle start? I think he will and will score a couple of goals which will be the difference. The only time Coleraine looked under pressure in the semi was when the high ball went in. In Toner and McGill they have maybe the 2 standouts this year.

Lavey by 1

I really don't see this myself. Coleraine have been the most dominant team in the championship this year and are a much stronger team than Lavey. I'd expect them to be fairly comfortable tomorrow unless Lavey can get those couple of goals you mention.

Good wins for both Limavady and Banagher today in Ulster.

The article that announced the retirements also stated that Loughlin was heading back to Australia.

There was no appeal!!!! Whatever the referee put in his report the sending off only merited a one match suspension!!!!

Congratulations to Coleraine on winning your second county title and totally deserved too!!!,lavey just didn't click at the right times!!!! The reserve final was by far the best match of the two!!!! Hard hitting, fair good football,plenty of scores,well done to both an lub and ballinderry for a great sporting match!!! Congratulations an lub

Loup stole the reserve.

I though the number 5 for Ballinderry was excellent and looked at the programme and it was NcKindless.  He has put some muscle on.

Coleraine always in driving seat. Sean Leo was poetry in motion.

[JoG2]

2 enjoyable games played in perfect October conditions. Some way for the Loup to snatch the victory and a quare advertisement or reserve football. The man lying down with cramp getting hoked around the pitch is something you don't see everyday

Lavey didn't have the shooting boots on, and you kinda knew when the Coleraine goal went in, that could well be the difference. Big O'Boyle leading Lavey out at the start of the 2nd half was a big statement of intent but it just didn't materialise. I'll tell you one thing, the Coleraine team are in serious condition and imo have a decent chance of giving Ulster a serious rattle. Liam McGoldrick has a fair kick. Will that game be in Breffni Pk?
