Sam Maguire 2024 Group 1 - Galway, Armagh, Derry, Westmeath

[JoG2]

God I'd have had Derry as clear favourites... still haven't seen anything stand out from Galway for them to beat Derry this year

Throw the house on Derry

[screenexile]

Galway maybe by abit,if am hearing the Derry team likely lineout.

Go on.....

Loughlin and the h/b line, it's been mentioned in here by a few

Hearing McEvoy and Conor Doherty are out!

[Ball]

Paudi McGrogan - ACL, Season over.
Niall Loughlin got an opp this week, season over?
Eoin McEvoy out with hamstring injury.
Conor Doc out
Murphy not back on 26 yet, still injured.
Chrissy & Rogers were doubtful, but looks like they will play.
A few other rumours but nothing confirmed.

Matthew Downey, Jack Cassidy, Conleith McGuckain all left the panel in recent weeks.

After league Dan Higgins, Callum & Enda Downey, Conor McGrogan, Oisin McWIlliams & Ben McCarron were all cut off panel - before team holiday to Portugal.

2 u20's called up since their defeat. Ruairi Forbes & McDermott - Both straight onto the panel for tomorrows game.


That seems to be the lay of the land at the minute. Derry's panel getting thinner, after looking like t was bulking up earlier in the season. Another injury or 2 would seriously derail us, especially if it's to the likes of Rogers who is carrying a hamstring injury at the minute.


From the League Final panel where we were all getting optimistic about Derry's panel finally looking strong we will be missing 7 of the 26.
4 Starters - McEvoy, Doherty, McGrogan, Loughlin
3 Subs - Matthew Downey, Conleith McGuckain, Cormac Murphy.

With no mcevoy or conor doherty will we even have 26 togged out?

[screenexile]

McGurk has been called up from U20s as well apparently

[Blowitupref]

One change for Galway. Matthew Tierney replaces Cein Darcy.

Two changes for Derry. Out go Conor Doherty and Eoin McEvoy. In come Emmett Bradley and Declan Cassidy

[Ball]

McGurk has been called up from U20s as well apparently

That 5 lads on the bench who havent played championship football?

[quit yo jibbajabba]

Twas always gonna happen that happen that Derry got a few injuries, but that's quite the burst...

[Wildweasel74]

All inured at training  not games, heavy training for that. We were in a better position after the league final

[Estimator]

Doherty not togged at all.
McEvoy and Murphy togged and doing individual work.

[Mario]

All inured at training  not games, heavy training for that. We were in a better position after the league final

And no injuries to the Glen players which was what all the early season fuss was about. Just bad luck.

Another ref falling for McGuigans dives.

The break between the Donegal game and today was very much needed for those players.

[Blowitupref]

Low key stuff thus far between Galway and Derry 0-4 each.  A red card for Derry.

[seafoid]

McKinless red card for tackle on Comer . Stood on his Achilles heel per RTÉ.

[J70]

Dirty McKinless. Definite red.
