I think another game with a competitive edge is ideal leading I to the league.

With the Glen lads playing in a final and the mckenna final it really will raise the levels before the first league match.

Entertaining game today. I thought Down were very physical and did a lot of off the ball drag Downs that they continued to get away with.
Derry a bit cuter in the tackle.

Down look they are extremely fit and their goal scoring threat is worrisome for the div 3 teams.
If they continue in that form, they'll likely win promotion.

Derry have got a good luck at the younger lads and Gallagher will know what he has to choose from post mckenna Cup.
Niall Toner is in great form, Murray too though he was quiet today.
Aston tohill looks out of position in the forwards. I'd have liked to have seen a few high balls played into him to see how he'd cope. Could give us another option for style of attack.

Happy with another game.

Wonder why they didn't play extra time. Was that always the plan to go straight to penalties or was it by mutual agreement t.

It's part of the competition, not to flog lads this time of year. It was on all the programme print outs, that with a draw, straight to penalties and no extra time

A game a week is no big deal I'd say they'll be happy enough.

Agreed

For anyone interested you can still but tickets for Down v Derry and Tyrone V Cavan on the website. No details on the final. And we expect this organisation to deliver a new state of the art football stadium.

Tough watch

Derry very defensive, Tyrone doing alot of fouling McGuigan missed a few long ones he would get on a good day.

Like watching a game of chess. Possibility this match could be worse than last nights FBD final.

Derry doing a lot of long kicking in to the forwards here which is a complete change of style. Very interesting to watch against Tyrones defensive style,

It's poor but better then last night. Mayo and Roscommon was indoor and they were passing it around like they were facing a wind.

Derry push up and instantly look better, shocker

Game should be over already, Derry making a balls of 2 def goal chances.
