Ulster Colleges

[GTP]

Confirmed
Omagh CBS V St Mary's Magherafelt - Coalisland 26/1/24 - 7:30pm - Referee: Martin McNally
St Joseph's Donaghmore V St Patrick's Academy Dungannon - Carrickmore 27/1/24 - 2:00pm - Referee: Paul Falloon

Not sure why but the Omagh and Magherafelt game has been changed to Monday 22nd at 12:00, still in Coalisland.
Very disappointing to see a MacRory Cup Semi Final being played at such a time.

Ulster Schools GAA X (Twitter) account still has it at 7:30pm on Friday 26 January at Coalisland. McLarnon Cup Q Finals listed for 12pm Monday 22 January.

there's no way the ulster colleges committee will play that game at 12 on a Monday...that would attract 4-5000 next Friday night..too big a purse to lose out on

Yeah not a hope it is being played on Monday. Even if they went a midweek night it would attract a decent crowd. I see they have Markey Cup final for a midweek day too, I thought all finals in senior levels had to be evening or weekend?

Post about Omagh and Magherafelt on the Monday has since been deleted. Must have been a mix up in the graphics department.
In saying that Ulster Colleges could do with reforming their website. Very poor fixtures and results pages at all levels.

Yeah have been saying this for years. Surely a simple list of weekly fixtures shouldn't be hard to put together? There's a lot of school fixtures every week and I'm sure a few  neutrals would love to go see some of them.

I understand that earlier rounds in competitions are played on a ad-hoc basis, primarily around pitch availabilty etc.

But from quarter-finals on, they should be pencilled in on the website.

I'd say the Ulster Colleges GAA PR etc. is voluntary. I wouldn't think they have any paid employess, have they?

S. Mc Aleenan does a great job with the reports for the media. Really good across all grades or all codes and really knowledgeable also.

I rarely go to the website, twitter is normally pretty good

For tonight's semi final does Coalisland have a covered stand or terracing for spectators?

Small covered stand.

You'd also be as well parking at the bottom of the hill at the hall there or in the town and dandering up. It was mayhem around the pitch for the quarter final held there a few weeks ago.

Thanks for the information

Omagh just about get over the line again and didn't play particularly well. Magherafelt missed a few goal chances that came back to haunt them in the end. Although 3 points down around the 60 minutes mark and everyone behind the ball maybe they didn't deserve anything from the game.

They scored two points and missed a good enough opportunity to equalise from that position. Omagh sat back to defend  their lead high balls in or throwing men forward may have worked but given the way the game was going more likely Omagh turnover the ball eat up time and maybe grab another score. Hindsight would say pop the ball over the bar for a point with some of the goal chances but at the time it looked like St Mary's needed a goal to get back into the game. The two conceded will hurt as well.
