All Ireland Club Championships 2024

[Brendan]

Can Slaughtneil v Glen be watched anywhere tonight?

What's the Derry club championship structure - does this game matter?

Simple answer is no it doesn't, 4 out of the 6 teams in the group will go into the quarters, last year the group games were the most entertaining of the championship though

No I heard Glen are resting players. In a championship game which is a mad structure.

Heard they rested players last year as well. Is this a common thing? I know in Tyrone if you have starting quality players anywhere near fit for championship they're more than likely going to play. Richie Donnelly played for Trillick last year after barely playing any league football. Couldn't imagine leaving important players out if they can play

[Armagh18]

Basically meaningless group game, good chance to get squad players game time and keep lads fresh for a campaign that they'll hope will last into the new year.

Ah lads can we wait til the county championship are over before we start this craic again?

[Armagh18]

Forkhill in Armagh might do something in Ulster junior... not going to win it but might win a game or two which is an improvement. They won Armagh with probably a stronger side in 2020 but covid stopped them getting a run in Ulster.

Someone else started this, just replying to it.

[JoG2]

How is a league 'senior' ? Well....

[SouthOfThe Bann]

Division 1 Knockbride failed to beat Mid Table Division 3 side Drung in the championship opener last night.

Its almost like league positions aren't the be all and end all.

Drung 1-13 0-16 Knockbride

[Rossfan]

Tyrone is probably the only place where Club Leagues matter?

Congratulations in advance to Kerry for another All-Ireland Junior Club Championship crown, stellar mentality lads well done 👏

Anything to be said for an All-Ireland Novice to include the remaining Kerry clubs who don't have a route to Croke?

Simple answer is no it doesn't, 4 out of the 6 teams in the group will go into the quarters, last year the group games were the most entertaining of the championship though

Total bollox, there are only three teams who are certain of getting through in the 2 groups. Thats Glen, S'neil & Magherafelt. S'neil and M'felt will play their full teams, they have no choice to get high in their own group to avoid a very tough quarterfinal. You top your group you play the team placed fourth in the other group-an easier draw in theory. Glen can afford to rest some players, not many-the only two who did not appear in last weekends game in which they lost was Jack Doherty and Glass. They know they will come out of the group regardless due to how strong they are and then ramp it up at that quarterfinal stage. ( only a small handful of teams in Ireland can give them a game) The remaining 9 teams will be at full strength unless they have injured players, and will have to take each game seriously as 2 teams from the two group of 6 will be eliminated after the group, top 4 from each group into quarterfinal. Its a tough c'ship. We lost last weekend to Bellaghy in the first group game and we are now under serious pressure, with both Glen and S'neil to play we have a battle to get to to the quarterfinal.

Didn't know Arva was in Kerry......?

[lurganblue]

I know Cross are strong bookies favourites in Armagh but I think Clann Eireann are real value for money, as much as I dont like to say that
