Doherty is overrated and not a man to man marker,he will loose his place in the team when paudi is back!

Not a bad result for a div4 outfit!!!! Seriously Derry has to go through div4  undefeated anything else will be a failure!!!!

Congratulations to Coleraine on winning your second county title and totally deserved too!!!,lavey just didn't click at the right times!!!! The reserve final was by far the best match of the two!!!! Hard hitting, fair good football,plenty of scores,well done to both an lub and ballinderry for a great sporting match!!! Congratulations an lub

It looks like Gareth McKinless could be back for Derry too! Heard his suspension in the reserves was thrown out after an appeal.  Good deal for the county board. We will forget about all the kicking you do and sending offs you have and let  you play in a meaningless reserve championship final and you play for Derry next year. "Deal"

I wouldn't say a reserve county final is meaningless! No county title easy won.

Sorry I didn't mean it was meaningless. To me the county board said that by letting mckinless off

I think he served his one match suspension missing the dungiven semi final

So what was the appeal for???

There was no appeal!!!! Whatever the referee put in his report the sending off only merited a one match suspension!!!!

Hi ! What's the story with next year's club championship??? Is it twelve teams in each championship or the 16?

[Lavey keeper would be an interesting one to call up,]

With only the final to go who would you say has impressed in this years championship and would be deserving of a county call up?
Talking about goalkeepers I think ballymaguigans is very good and worth a try, he has made some very impressive saves in the last couple of championship matches and his kick outs have been spot on and is still quite young!!!! Worth a try!
Holly, Colm McGoldrick, Ciaran Mullan, Eamonn McGill, Niall Toner, Ryan Bell, Benny Herron & the Lavey keeper have been the stand outs for me. I was also impressed with Jack Doherty from Glen yesterday. I wonder how many of them will be on the panel this year.

McGill, Toner and Bell definitely impressed me. The Lavey keeper would be an interesting one to call up, I think he's about 30 years old and never played County but he's a good keeper, has been for a while, and his kicking is maybe the best of any keeper I've seen all year. 

Any number of the Coleraine boys would be worth a go in the first Derry squad of 2019 to be honest.  Colm McGoldrick in particular though.

What was the Lavey keeper's short kick-outs like ?

I think he got a county trial about 7/8 yrs ago

With the wind, both long and short kick-outs were excellent, pinged directly were they were to go.  Free kicks were excellent too, knocking one over from about 55m.

Against the wind they were pretty good as well, with one or two bobblers causing a bit of a panic.

Overall he was very good, sound handling and great distribution.  Definitely worth a look at.

Looking at that video; Ballinderry as much to blame as Slaughtneil; you gona stand other side of fence mouthing off then be suprised when players react;Ballinderry well involved in the row against Kilrea on the reserves last year too!

your full of crap!!! At all matches spectators are shouting at the opposition ,no different here!!! Players stay inside the pitch and spectators stay out!!! Ballinderry supporter that ran into the pitch deserved what he got!!!! For slaughtneil being such great ambassadors to Derry, they are nothing short of an embarrassment!!!!

I've watched this video from the reserve match last night numerous times and have to say it's all slaughtneil players causing the trouble, throwing punches etc. And I take it that was a ballinderry supporter that jumped the wire, very foolish and I hope ballinderry ban him if he is even a member. I believe also one of the slaughtneil players struck a ballinderry girl!!!.

Slaughtneil are serious bad losers!! Brilliant when they are winning but when beat that's a different story!!!!
