Nice.one Mucker thanks

Any word in the league format for this year? Can see a few "stronger" club's struggling this year. Coleraine are just too old now and still rely on Sean Leo, if rumours true Lavey have lost the Downey's, Bellaghy and Screen just nowhere near as strong as they once where and Balinderry likewise

[Truth hurts]

SWATRAGH have finalised their senior football management team for the season ahead.

The club have confirmed, to Gaelic Life, that former Derry manager John Brennan succeeds Kevin Madden as manager.

He will be assisted by Loup man Neil McCloy and Swatragh's Emmett Rafferty.

Brennan was a Derry championship winning manager with Lavey, Sleacht Néill and Loup who he took to the 2009 Ulster Club final.

He had success in Tyrone with Carrickmore and was a championship winner with Cargin.

More recently he was involved with Lavey on their way to the 2018 final where they lost to Coleraine.

The 'Swa were beaten in last year's quarter-final by the Emmet's and haven't been in the final since losing to Lavey in the 1993 decider.

Any more word on the downeys?

Heard they resolved their differences over Christmas

Last thing Gallagher will want is that final to be replayed. He will want the glen lads back in probably tomorrow evening or Wednesday

Glen lads need a month break after Club fball, talk about flogging a dead horse. Bad enough he not use the reserve keeper. Giving Lynch played, another game Sunday, Player welfare my ass.

Good to see promotion and relegation in the club leagues again. Decoupling them from the championship should keep a few clubs happy too.

It is alright. As long as county players are free this year to play club games now that there is relegation from the league.

If Derry go as far as they did last year there won't be much opportunity for county players to play club league games. When the turkeys voted for Christmas ( the split season ) it was inevitable that the clubs would suffer and nothing anyone can do about it.

Irish news has it today that 3 glen lads back training with Derry this week and that Emmett Bradley looks like he's opting out for the year.
He'll be missed, perhaps he'll come back in later in the league.

I can't see any of the Glen lads starting this weekend. You'd think Gallagher will ease them back.

I hope we can push on from the McKenna cup, we seemed to be improving each game and if we can keep that momentum going we've a good chance of promotion (if we start well against Limerick).

Even when we are motoring well I'm still waiting for us to implode. Too many years of expectations and hopes being dashed at the first hurdle lol.
