Derry Club Football & Hurling original

[Ryan O]

Er, it was Slaughtneil with the high hits, roughing up from what i saw. Once about 3 of those tackles werent yellow carded, things were going to roughen up.

that's what I thought, high and around the face.

Swatragh were very wasteful.
In a game where nobody really stood out I thought he was up there with pick of them in first half.
Take the two Derry starters out of it I thought Mc Williams was above the rest.

Not for me. Had little impact on the game in my opinion. Swatragh limited enough and without the goal, the game was over at half-time. Was expecting a bit more from them but maybe a derby brings it down a level or two.


Like a lot of teams, high in energy and running about but not much quality in attack. As I said, they only scored 7pts overall in 64 mins and a few of them were frees and 45m frees.


If you want a player who's 'above the rest' he'd need to be hitting 6pts from play. Maybe I caught him on a different day, it'd be a different story. 


Teams getting geared up for Championship now. Not many league games left so hopefully everybody will be injury free in the next few weeks.

love the cliche statements, limited enough if they hadn't got the goal. But they did get the goal and it counted

There best forward only came on at half time and spent the last 10 mins wrestling. The free taking was very poor from Swatragh but they had plenty if frees to take.

Who did you think stood out for Slaughtneil because I thought they looked very average, perhaps you are right but little can be judged on a derby.

No. They were limited. Scored about 1-3 in total over 64 mins or so. That's limited in my book.


Again, alright saying they had plenty of frees but not converting them. Had, maybe, three free takers and not much success in my opinion. That's limited.


I thought SN were in total control of the game. Never needed to get out of second gear.

Drum too strong for a poor Ballerin to start the junior championship off today

Is that Patrick O'Kane, the Paddy playing midfield for Dungiven? I presume it is, that lad fair player.
