Unsure whether there has been a group for this made yet but here it goes.
http://www.kilmacudcrokes-football.com/
Some interesting groups on display here. The Down representatives were the dominant forces last year with Bryansford finishing on top. Who does everyone fancy this year?
I see Longford have sent no drinking football representatives this time out.
Any idea of the schedule on Saturday? Nothing on the website
Haven't heard anything apart from fact that opening matches are at 11am. Last year it was all finished up at 7pm as far as i can remember. Eoghan Rua, Coleraine were quite impressive for their first ever 7s tournament. They could be dark horses.
Yeah they didn't do bad last year. Wouldn't consider them as dark horses this year though. Whiskey Steve has told me they are only playing there u-21s.
If I was looking for a dark horse, i'd definitely go for Glenullin.
Relatively easy group and the lads have been doing special 7s training for quite a while now.
Had Glenullin a full team id put them up with a real good chance.
Beat in quarters by the eventual winners last year without the two Bradleys playing.
Beat in a final a few years ago by a point against St Galls
However missing quite a few. Paddy Bradleydone his knee in training the other night (while playing a 7s match versus Coleraine) Gerard O Kane is still missing and Dominic Mc Ilvar (a player suited to this game) is is long term injured

The year glenullin were beat by st galls in the final by a point, the squad of 10 all had 50 quid a man on themselves to win it outright at 25/1!!
Maybe how they did so well that year!

What's the criteria for a good 7's player?

10 Mark McHugh's would do rightly !!
I'm heading off to this in the morning. I always said the next time Knockmore go to this, I'll go. So here is the chance!
I see we are 9/2 favourites to win, wile low price ffs.
Ok have had a punt on Coleraine and Castlewellan

Galls are group 7,An Riocht 9.Anyone with updates, woud be appreciated,delayed on train in wales so not there for 4ish
No they're in the same group. Both sides scored 5-7 in their first matches. They clash in the third.
http://www.sportsmanager.ie/cake/gaa2/kilmacudsevens/latestResults
Results for group 4 must wrong, St. Lomans hardly lost all 3 games 0-0 to 0-10, did they?
I think that's the forfeit score. They mustn't have fielded.
Galls-Riocht face-off now. Both won their two games. Galls should prevail.
Claremorris win group 1.
Clonduff beaten by Tourlestrane in group 4. The Sligo boys should top it......and they do.
Claremorris (Mayo) v Corofin (Galway)
John Mitchells (Derry) v Tourlestrane (Sligo)
Eoghan Ruadh (Derry) v Milltown (Galway)
St Gall's (Antrim) v Knockmore (Mayo)
Galls beat An Riocht 0-12 to 2-3.
Knockmore scored 22-19 in their 3 games.
All Down teams out.
As with the senior game tomorrow - all West and North.
Thanks for the updates ONeill. You're good for something! :D
Claremorris (Mayo) 2-5 Corofin (Galway) 4-6
John Mitchells (Derry) 0-14 Clonduff (Down) 2-12
How did Clonduff get back in?
They seem to have reversed that score between Clonduff and Tourlestrane.
Quote from: ONeill on September 22, 2012, 01:13:11 PM

Semi-Finals
Corofin (Galway) v Clonduff (Down)
Eoghan Ruadh (Derry) v St Galls (Antrim)
Eoghan Ruadh (Derry) 1-10 Milltown (Galway) 0-11

And Ive backed Coleraine, brilliant Come on you McGoldicks. Knock the stuffing outta our lads ;D
Corofin beat Clonduff 4-8 to 1-9
St Gall's won 2-10 to 1-12.
Corofin v Gall's final.
Kilmacud must have made a early exit,. Does Rory Gallagher still play club football with the Galls, wouldn't expect him to be involved in the 7's with his mind on the game tomorrow, think the Ulster teams usually do well in it, few downs teams were always stong.
Kilmacud were unlucky. Won 2 and drew 1 - went out on scoring difference.
Final not til 6.
Ah well, got a good run for me money, Corofin have knocked in 17 goals compared to our 15 goals. Though we have knocked over more points, should be a good game.
Galls to win by 2
Gall's 7-4 up at ht
Finished a draw.
Extra time to follow.
Penalties.
And St Gall's win 2-0 on penalties.

Qatar GAC won the St Jude's All Ireland Junior Football 7's at Templeogue on Saturday. They beat the hosts in the Final by 9 points. We (Dundrum) ran Qatar to two points in the Semis while St Judes beat Enda Kenny's Islandeady in the other Semi.
Clonmore Harps from Offaly beat O'Donnells from Antrim in the Shield Final.

Are they still Junior :o
St Judes run a great tournament every year, both hurling and football. Have played the sevens (with our second string) hurling loads a times and great days craic
Well done to the Moy on winning the Intermediate 7s. With 4 All-Ireland winners on the side I suppose they had a fair chance.

Funnily enough most teams in the St Jude's tourney are actually Intermediate teams as it is generally the previous year's Junior champions that are invited. There are a couple of exceptions though.
It is a great tournament and Qatar winning it was quite a turn up for the books as they were the first team from outside the island to do so.

That will be a welcome boost before they hold the World Cup
Kilmacud 7's is a fine day out for any GAA fan.
St Gall's will be hard bet again.
Looking forward to heading down. How do you edit the title of the thread? Might as well keep it right!

We've (Naomh Gall) a big crowd heading down again this year, all staying in the stillorgan hotel. We've our county final too the following week but we'll still bring our best players and try and win it again
We're heading down as well, first time in a number of years. Have lost 5 finals in the past, never one it but travelling more in hope than expectation particularly considering the draw we got - Kilmacud, Tuam Stars and Gaoth Dobhair. Playing out in Silver Park.

Fair play. Not many teams would be taking the risk of injury in a 7s tournament a week ahead of a county final.

I see we are 5/2 to win it, crap odds in fairness, Bryansford are 9/1 and out of their club championship so should be a decent outside bet, Corofin be handy too, have met them a few times in the latter stages of this (final last year)
I like he look of Coleraine and Glenties. Both have fairly sizeable county contingents and are out of the county championships

Barry McGoldrick was stretchered off in the championship match last night! Unlikely that he'll feature.
Coleraine are an extremely fit team but they've played 2 tough games (Sunday & last night) & were knocked out so may not be in the right frame of mind...

They are really flying and very good at 7s, they are supposed to play intermediate championship hurling semi on Saturday but one of their players said that wont happen as they have booked to go to kilmacuds. Ahhh Derry hurling some laugh.
I can understand maybe a rescheduling of hurling match due to congested championship football fixtures but for the kilmacuds now that's mad.
Bryansford have a Down Division 1 League game tomorrow so not sure what type of team they will have down.
Any idea what time the quarter finals would be on? Final roughly around 6 or 6.30 if I remember righty.....
Anyone betting on this needs their head looked. A semi serious competition. Have Crossmaglen ever played in it ?

The competition aint as competitive as it used to be, a lot of clubs/counties don't go cause of their own championships running at same weekend or close to. Which is unfortunate as during the 80's early 90's it was a brill competition, so much boozing goes on, our lads usually go on a drinks ban afterwards to prepare for the championship........ the following week ffs

Every time they played cross that I saw, cross let themselves down. They always concentrated on the dirty stuff v galls. Big admirers of cross, as you couldn't fail to be with their record, but I know what I saw, 2 years ago they were a disgrace, and that's coming from a fan of physical football.
