- Junior football champs = Cremartin
- Intermediate final is between Carrickmacross and Corduff
Monaghan teams have a great record in the Ulster Junior Championship and Cremartin would be young talented team with a sprinkling of 5 or 6 lads that have played at minor or u-21 level for monaghan in past 5 years. Although question marks about their temperament. Will be contenders for the Ulster Junior title.
Carrickmacross / Corduff - Carrickmacross are raging hot favourites to win Monaghan IFC this year. Senior league winners and beaten SFC finalists 3 years ago and with 6 lads who have senior inter county experience - they should win this and would be very strong contenders for Ulster IFC too.
Corduff "won" last years Ulster JFC only to forgot they shouldn't field U-16's. They are a young team, full of heart and endeavour and to be applauded for doing so well after emerging from Junior. But this is a step too far for them at this stage and even if they did win, would be out of their depth in Ulster.
Fermanagh Intermediate final is this weekend I think. Kinawley v Irvinestown.
There is no junior championship in Fermanagh so I don't know if there is a team coopted into the Ulster championship.
Armagh IFC final: Culloville 4-13 Tír na nÓg 1-09
Armagh junior champs have nothing to worry about!!
As somebody has already stated Fermanagh will not have junior representative this year.
All teams competed at intermediate or senior level.
Does that mean the Donegal champions have a bye to the semi final??

we beat them in ulster ifc in 06. we caught them cold that day and galbally or kildress will probably have to catch them on a bad day too. surprised to see them down in intermediate considering they won division1 and reached senior final in monaghan only a couple of years ago.

Thats what I thought, I know John Meade, saw him a few weeks back and defo not sick. But thon balloon was saying something about him being a Rossa kid who they 'signed'.
I wonder what was going through Jerome's head interviewing him in his Jose Mourinho clothing taking about Airy Og (Eire Og) and buying hotdogs after watching him running up and down the line like a plonker.

To be honest though, can't see them going far in Ulster. Would fancy the Armagh champs to beat them handy enough.

Don't know much about Carrickmacross to be honest but I would imagine they would be favourites for the first round against us? Judging by what other people are saying!
I think somone said that there were a few Carrickmacross people in Omagh last sunday scouting - I wonder what they made of it?
Where will this game be? Omagh?

Last year my club, Doohamlet, were the Monaghan IFC champs and we gave Derrylaughan a bit of a trimming in the ulster semi-final. If I am being honest Carrickmacross would be a better side than my club. We always found Carrickmacross very tough over the last 4/5 years when we were senior.
Carrickmacross even being intermediate in Monaghan is a bit of a joke...they didn't even end up in the relegation zone in the senior league. In Monaghan the SFC champs can't get relegated from the league and so....SFC winners Clontribret finished in the bottom two in the league. Carrickmacross were then in a play-off for relegation and managed to get two players sent of in first twenty minutes of that play-off and eventually lost.
Carrickmaross won the senior league title 3 years ago and also got to the SFC final that year too. They have a whole host of lads with inter county experience.
Gary McEneaney - was on 2009 Monaghan squad
Mark McNally - was on 2011 Monaghan squad.
James Conlon - was on 2009 Monaghan squad.
Stephen Gollogly & Mark Downey - played against Tyrone in Omagh in this years USFC
Andy Callan - was on Monaghan squad maybe 6 or 7 years ago.
Peter O'Hanlon - midfield for monaghan u-21s in 2011
Cillian Cromwell - county minor 2011
Sean Downey - county minor 7 or 8 years ago.
Carrick would be strong straight down the spine of their team. McEneaney at full back is a decent player at intermediate level and although he played NFL for Monaghan he was out of his depth at that level. McNally is pivotal player at CHB. He frequently makes surging runs from here. He spent a good part of the season injured which hampered his chances of nailliing a spot of the Monaghan team. Conlon and O'Hanlon are a very strong midfield partnership at Intermediate level.
Attack is where Carrick are strongest. The two Downey's, Gollogly and Callan are as good a unit at this level as you'll find. All capable of taking scores from distance, strong ball carriers and intelligent link play.
Overall yes, they are a good side at intermediate level. How would Kildress compare themselves to last years tyrone winners Derrylaughan?
Thanks for that analysis - V Good.
Sounds like it'll take a big effort to beat those lads.
Don't really know how Kildress stack up against Derrylaughen - they have only returned to senior football and we missed them on the way past as we were relegated last year for the first time in over a decade. Anytime we played them in recent times we beat them but then they have alot of young lads (who are good) who wouldn't have played against in those times.
I think Kildress and Derrylaughan (of last year at least) would be very different. Derrylaughan were a young team with talented 'lads' probably being their biggest asset whereas Kildress this year have a mix of youth and very experienced players. The main asset would probably be the boys we have who have played senior championship for nearly 10 years mostly. Also probably a better all round squad.
Big negative would be that we have no one with senior inter county experience.
james conlon played midfield against us in 06 and was very good. andy callan has a great left foot on him and will take some watching. gollogly didnt get a kick that day so he'll probably have a point to prove this time around in ulster. declan smyth came on as a sub but i doubt he's still playing these days. whoever wins this game will go far.

Its a pity that Cross and Cullaville are playing at the same time, as there would be a crossover of interest from south Armagh fans. Perhaps it would indeed be better if one was on Saturday night or Intermediate could be on a different weekend than the senior.
Good luck to Culloville (intermediate) and Eire Og ( junior) in their ulster championship matches

Great win today for Ballymena, no reason for them to not go further
Ballymena were much stronger and seemed fitter than the Fermanagh men. They had a number of handy forwards and will be a tough side to beat. Culloville had a good win by 6 points and Craigbane from Derry won by 19! Carrickmacross will be the team to beat though.
Good to see Ballymena doing well. Their midfield is a serious midfield for intermediate. No. 15, who I think is still a minor, had a cracking game too.
Irvinestown probably had the more dangerous forwards but Logan and McVeigh cleaned up in midfield so much so that they barely saw the ball. I thought Goan was going to do a bit of damage second half when he started pushing up but thankfully he only broke through with a couple of runs. A lot of pace in the forwards but must be a young team as all very light.
Be interesting to see what they do against the Armagh champs though I suspect whoever wins this one will probably get well beat in the final.
Kildress fell at the first hurdle yesterday. Came down to two factors in my opinion. Referee/officials and poor management by Kildress after losing a man.
Looked like Kildress would cruise home when they went 0-8 to 0-3 up 10 mins into second half.
Carrickmacross started to rough Kildress up and unfortunately and stupidly Kildress responded to this. How the ref gave a yello to two C'macross players and a red to Kildress player is beyond me.
After Kildress 7 came in late with the shoulder Carrick man headbutted him and a player has told me his marker from carrickmacross said to him 'Our man's away he's after headbutting your man!' :-\
Anyway with a five point lead with 18 to go - We ran out of ideas - invited Carrickmacross to attack us and kick scores and to be fair they did that and ran out 3 point winners!
Very disappointed but good luck to Carrickmacross in the rest of the competition.
Bredagh fell at the first fence as well when we were beat by a single point, fair play to Burt and I hope they do well. this game turned when the ref got one of a few major calls wrong, he bottled sending one of the Burt players off. he was already booked and the ref went to him taking the book out, seen he was booked and put it back. this guy went on to score the winning point, great point mind you but he shouldn't have been on the pitch.

Who's across???? Well if you mean who's over them, the other half of the Mac boys, John and they are a handy side. Their game with All Saints will be a cracker I'd say.
How long before we see the McEntee's head up the county side, they are said to be top class coaches in their own right.
Good, hard fought, game in Letterkenny yesterday. Bredagh are a fair step up from the standard of teams Burt faced in the Donegal Junior Championship.
Mindful of Bredagh's high scoring exploits in the Down championship, Burt set themsevles up to contain them defensively although that worked better in the second half than the first.
As for the referee bottling it, while he had a decent game in general, he issued far too many yellow cards. Our stat man was telling me he showed 12 yellows (5 for Burt, 7 for Bredagh) - the game didn't warrant that. And his decision to start penalising open handed handpasses for the second half was bizarre.
He red carded one of the Burt players right at the death too, but that will be appealed.
Burt now play Cremartin or Shercock in the semi final, and will get a chance to see them in action in Clones next Sunday - their Ulster hurling final v Creggan Kickhams is the curtainraiser to the replay between the Monaghan and Cavan champions.
Thank you Ulster Council. ;)

Read this match report and even look at the photos (in particular the sending off picture) to you get a feeling of how hard done by the Kildress folk feel.
And before you ask the guy who wrote and took pictures lives closer to monaghan than he does to Kildress - I would consider his view point neutral!
Who was the ref radda? Was that gregory walsh?
Yes Gregory Walsh. I have a contact in his home club who assures me he's not the best.
I think he might have cost Enniskillen a good victory over Errigal a few years back when he issued Daisy McDermott two yellows and let him play on only for Daisy to pop up with the winning point. :o

Eire Og played the game with 14 men from the start, having a man sent off for pretty much nothing. Bit of handbags between him and the full back, just after the ball had been thrown in, the umpire for some reason felt the need to get the ref to send him off! Really poor decision.
That said though, I don't think the result would have been in doubt.
Aye Derrytresk looked the real deal in the second half. Going to be tough for anyone to beat them at that level.
Quote from: oakleaflad on November 15, 2011, 11:41:27 AM
So who would the favorites be for both Intermediate and Junior? Iv seen Derrytresk play and they look strong in the Junior and have seen Craigbane a few times this year, hope they can do it. I am biased being from Derry though.
Culloville have been playing in Division I for the last three/four years in Armagh and have had an extremely unlucky record in Intermediate finals in the county aswell, lost the last few finals as well as semi-finals etc. Don't know a lot about Craigbane but they can't be too shabby either having overcame the Monaghan champs.
Derrytresk were impressive v Eire Og on Sunday though they were up against a 14-man team for the most part who just couldn't adapt to the challenge. I'd imagine Junior football in Tyrone to be a lot stronger than in Armagh so it's hard to gauge. Eire Og were head and shoulders above the other JFC teams in Armagh and look what happened them.
You can't really tell at these 2 levels because of the differing grading system per county. The Blues will be well fit for it and I hope the Ulster Council have the gumption to play both games as part of a double header. There will be a mass exodus from the parish if that was the case.
With a Monaghan/Tyrone final in the junior, it's interesting to look at their dominance at this grade.

2009 - Emyvale
2010 - Corduff (then stripped)
Only Greencastle (beat Kerry) won an All-Ireland out of that lot with Kerry lifting 5 titles.
pretty sure monaghan harps won it in 2003 when it was an unofficial competition. a cavan team (drumgoon?) won it 2001.
cremartin seem to have a few of the team still playing from when we beat them - names like boyd, carragher, bishop and flanagan all ring a bell.
I couldn't find anything on the 2003 final apart from this which may or may not have been the final
(http://www.murphyvideos.utvinternet.com/covers/cremartin-ulsterfinal03.jpg)
It was played on St Patrick's day 2003.
Did Corduff win it 2 years running?
ULSTER JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP FINAL
2002 - Drumgoon V Doohamlet
So it was Drumgoon '02 and Corduff '03.
monaghan harps definitely beat eskra (tyrone 2003 champions) in early 2004. it seems like there were 2 finals in 2004 - 1 unofficial (march) and 1 official (november). I would imagine that the unofficial final would have to be considered as the 2003 final.
meant to say that the monaghan v eskra game was the semi-final.

I see Gregory Walsh will ref the Intermediate final this weekend! HOW CAN THIS BE?
The man sent the wrong player off in our game with Carrickmacross and everyone in the crowd seen it (ulster council officials and all).
I hear he also counted a UUJ match score wrong there recently and they'll have to replay it because of it. Can someone please tell my they would appoint someone who is incompetent?
Just curious as to how many clubs actually compete in the Armagh senior football championship considering Culloville, a division 1 side, are in the intermediate final?

Round about 15 clubs. You must have won the championship below you to re-grade upwards. Therefore Culloville have the opportunity to play senior championship next year. A club can apply to re-grade downwards at any stage. There have been instance's of Division 3 sides playing senior c'ship and division 1 sides playing Intermediate though I don't think this is happening at the minute. Cullovilee would be the only Division 1 side playing intermediate this year.

Thamks yellowcard, always wondered what way the championship in Armagh was set up.
Thoughts on the game tonight? Will the Derry team be too strong for the Armagh lads?

Football and experience wise they are rightly favourites but the weather is a very good leveller. Also Culloville have been playing Division 1 football consistently over the last 3-4 years and therefore won't be seen to be wanting physically wise and fitness wise. John Mac is obviously a good man to have behind them but he isn't the only one, his assistant is one of those men that would get lads to run through walls so they will be highly motivated. With nothing to lose I can see them causing a bot of a shock.
Ah bc, whilst I admire your tenacity in always finding an angle to build the opposition up, if cullaville don't with this one there's something seriously wrong

Craigbane are clear favourites with the bookies and rightly so. Previous Ulster Intermediate champions, strongest in a very strong county championship. Culloville have a lot to do but I think they can do it.
Full Time
Craigbane 0-6 Culloville 0-5
Apparently Culloville had two players sent off in the first half. :-\

Colm Watters and one of the midfielders were sent off within first 20 minutes. Huge loses to do without. Hard luck to the Blues, tough to win with 15 never mind 13.

not surprising from that referee.
Who was the ref?
Ciaran Branagan
Any word on the ulster junior final?

Jesus Christ!
No, I don't think it was him that was sent off :D
Was the ref not Gregory Walsh?
Great to see Derrytresk win Ulster. A wee club in the middle of the bog, and not a big pile of residents. This should be a great lift for wee clubs everywhere.
Heard the ref got a slap after the Culloville/Craigbane game-any truth in this?
Didn't make it in for the Derrytresk game today, but there seemed to be a bit of a consensus in the stand that the best team lost.
From what I can gather from the guru Drici, the Hill will probably meet Declan O'Sullivan's Dromid Pearses.

No wee gifty Quarter Finals in the Hurling at the moment.
Will be interesting to see how the Football ones go.
Cuchulainn GAC Newcastle v dromid pearses is fixed for sunday 11th december.
looking at the newcastle squad, they seem to have a right few players from ulster on board:
http://www.cuchulainnsgac.com/squad.html
Dromid off to England to play Cuchullains from Birmingham I think, in the 1/4 final. Not sure what the draw is after that. They won the Munster final pretty handily yesterday, but Kildangan had a man sent off which made it easier for them.
Although I'd fully expect Dromid Pearses to come through against Cuchullainns of Newcastle, I dont think it will be particularly easy for them. I've been involved in GAA in Britain for quite a while and in terms of the Junior Championship, this Cuchullainns team are probablythe best prepared i've seen. They have committed fully to this all year and are immensely fit and strong with a fair few tidy footballers in key positions. Whether or not they are good enough to trouble the Kerry champions remains to be seen, but they are as good, if not better than the John Mitchells team from Liverpool that made the final of this competition a few years ago.

Gregory Walsh in my opinion had a decent game. The sending off was correct for two yellows. That said Cremartin let in two soft golas and squandered enough chances including an opportunity at the death to secure a draw wher the player passed the ball when the easy opition was to kick the point. Cremartin beat themselves and should have no issue with the ref.

Whilst I wasn't at the match and I was happy that Derrytresk won the final I have to say Gregory Walsh is one of the worst refs I've ever came across. Voiced my concerns about him on here before this final! He cost us a go at the Ulster Intermediate Championship by sending off our player for nothing other than being the recipient of a head butt. The video clearly shows this - the ulster council are aware of this and they decide to let him ref a final???? Its unbelievable really!

I'm just pointing out that due to previous performances he shouldn't have been let near an ulster final whether he was good or bad in the final
So its Dromid Pearses who play Derrytresk in the all ireland junior semi
they beat us , Cu Chulainns Newcastle yesterday. We got off to a great strat 3 points up to no score after 15 mins then they got a goal which undid our good start.
Having watched a dvd of them against Kanturk we thought we had a great chance but they turned out to be a better drilled and more composed side than we anticipated. in the second half they dominated with the wind and the game finished 1-8 to 5 points.
they have some handy forwards apart from declan o'sullivan,
all the best to derrytresk, be great for them to get to croker
I heard ye put it up to them SuperHans. They were suitably impressed.
