Ulster Colleges

[onefineday]

Abbey winning 16-3 in the mclarnon. They're supposed to be backboned by four masters players so are probably very strong.

Are the schools in the 26, kids a year older?

Nope - same ages.

There used to be a 6 month difference years back that favoured Ulster (all nine from what I recall/not just the six)

Free state secondary only needs to be 5 years after 8 years primary. That was the norm until probably 10-15 years ago, now majority of secondary is 6 years as they include transition year, which is an additional year thrown in to mess around in and find themselves after junior cert and before the leaving cert syllabus starts - seems like great craic tbf

Anyway, long and short of it is that it's now pretty even and we rarely see 16yo Donegal students as college freshers anymore.

Omagh's best player a Loughmacrory man for the second year in a row, that's a club making big strides

Omagh's best player is an Omagh man. Callum Daly at Centre Half Back is their best player followed by Ruairi McCullagh, Charlie Donnelly, Eoin Donaghy and Nathan Farry, strong argument could be made that he was also their best player last year. McElholm certainly had the biggest reputation last year but their were a number of players who outperformed him over the course of the season - Owens, Daly, McCullagh, Donnelly, Donaghy, Farry all had better campaigns.

What tv channel is the game on?

Camera angle is all over the place on BBC. Just use the wide camera angle.

Yeah it looks like Ruairi McCullagh from where I'm sitting

Farry, Daly and Donnelly have been very impressive. McCullagh has been wasteful, appears to be very greedy but this only my second time seeing him play so I will reserve judgment

Callum Daly looks a prospect cool calm and collected as they say.

Where did the commentary go??

Don't know if it was technical difficulties but there seemed to be big periods of silence.

Omagh pulled away at the end but I didn't think they were streets ahead of Dungannon as Niblock and Morgan constantly were laying on thick, DG got level with about 10 to go then a goalkeeping error let Omagh back in front and really killed DG.

Fair play to young Holmes on the DG side, a great performance,the same lad was carried off in the semi with an injury I thought looked bad (obviously not that bad). The other wing back Neeson had a great game too, but you could have driven a bus down the Dungannon CHB channel for most of the game. Overall i thought it was a quality contest but still plenty of mistakes from both sides.
