Ryan McNicholl playing good direct football today, heavy pitch didn't make for much of a spectacle, can assume he will be called on again for senior. Donegal 15 for Sunday

Very strong Donegal team for tomorrow, I think 12 played in the all Ireland final and Roarty on the bench

Is Ryan McNicholl still an U20?

I'll reserve judgement until after the next match big dry pitch and plenty of space.

Conditions weren't good but I thought it was an awfully poor game, decided only on who had the weakest goalkeeper. Glenullin were bigger and more physical. Didn't seem to be any wind but anything outside 25/30 yards wasn't even an attempt to kick.
Semi finals are for winning but and thats what they done

McNicholl be the best player in Ulster if he had feet, serious speed and hard running and can get goals, but needs to start adding the easy points to his game, missed a sitter near the end only about 10m out, but if he can sort out his point taking, he could be a serious player for Derry.

It's going ahead after a pitch inspection there, but don't tell anyone else, seems to be a secret 😁

Good the team was kept secret Antrim won't know what to expect.

JoG2 · January 04, 2026, 10:53:34 AM

Icy roads is the issue

Derry Haiku · January 04, 2026, 10:56:19 AM

Can't imagine there is any room in the schedule now to play it?

Whilst disappointing, sensible decision to call off today.

Yea wise call, but have to admit was really looking forward to getting out to a match today. Would have taken my mind off going back to work tomorrow!
