Derry Club Football & Hurling original

There is not 4k playing Gaelic football, where u get that?

Its a few years old now but around 4k is probably close to it.

That's the Derry City and Strabane council area. Not even remotely the same numbers as the city, and a large number not even in the same county.

What, the GAA heartlands of Newbuildings? Or Artigarvan with a population of about 200. There are almost 5k playing Gaelic football in the council area- shave off about 1k outside of the city. It isn't as if the areas have massive populations and Strabane would be primarily a soccer town as well.

I can't believe you've attempted to double down on that to be honest.

Just to clarify you think there are 4x more playing gaelic football in Derry City than in Strabane, Newtonstewart, Castlederg, Owen Roes, Glenelly, Clann na nGael, Ardmore, Slaughtmanus, Claudy, Craigbane and half of Banagher combined?

Fair enough my Maths is out. Way out.

Just on the chat about Derry City, what is the craic with Culmore Cú Chulainns? They were founded fairly recently in the city weren't they? Were they a break away from another club, or how did they come about?

Started up by a handful of Gaels to cover the Culmore village and surrounding areas
As far as I know they've acquired land down on the waters edge and are working through red tape (what I don't know). The land will include a big community indoor hall according to someone who was at an open meeting a while back...will be great for that area as there's a huge amount of houses and wains about

Only link to Steelstown is they tried to block their formation at every turn 

Thats sounds good of them, I thought they were the trailblazers for GAA in the city.

Turns out only if your wearing Steelstown colours.

At least in Neils next speech he can say "theres no GAA in the city because we made dam sure it didn't take off"

Keeping someone down doesn't push you up the ladder.

Anyone know what way injuries are fixed for saturday?

Killian Conlon said on derry gales that clucky and mcevoy could play?

Will be a hostile environment on saturday but we should have too much for them

Meenagh was saying in an interview after the cork match that mcevoy is backing training and should be getting game time very soon. So wouldn't be surprised if he is in the squad

[jb77]

Haven't heard anything but I'd guess McEvoy will be listed, hard to know with clucky since he didn't take part in any warm ups two weeks ago

Louth away will be a mighty test I think, I'm fairly sure we just pipped them the last time in Ardee?

Ardee pitch v heavy at Tyrone game so I wouldn't take any chances if not 1000% fit

Delighted to hear Paul Cassidy saying in his interview that winning All Ireland can be achieved.
Sign of confidence in the group, own your aspirations, far too many politically correct wishy washy answers that give you no actual information.

[quit yo jibbajabba]

You were questioning his commitment not too long ago 🤣🤣

[Ryan O]

You were questioning his commitment not too long ago 🤣🤣

show me were, I was questioning if he would start on his current form and if he wanted to be at that level, last 18 months the answer to that would have been no.

He has turned it around.

His own personal commitment would have no relevance to what level of confidence is in the group to which he was talking about in the interview.

Having watched the team walk off the pitch in Kildare, I'm not surprised. They looked like a team full of confidence and proud, good to see it and likewise hear that from Paul.
