Derry Club Football & Hurling original

[Brendan]

Playing alot of the 1st half with the wind but down to 12/13 men for most of it. Good spread of scorers, flukey goal for Kildare, excellent performance

[shawshank]

The commentary is from kildare and completely one sided. 🤣 they did some crying about our sideline. Finally that is grt result considering a man down, 4 pts down at HT, then playing into a serious breeze in terrible conditions. That's a team builder. Derry on their way back

[CookieMonster]

F@ck that yappy Kildare commentary. I said we'd struggle without Glass, glad to be proven wrong. Great composure and another solid performance.

[tbrick18]

brilliant result given the cards in particular.
that will do the confidence the world of good.
I assume glass will be suspended for a game? or will there be an appeal?

That's some result for Derry given the sending off and then having to play against the wind, snow and rain in the second half ... would have loved to have  seen P Cassidy's goal ... this team has "Character in abundance

[Wildweasel74]

Derry weighted in with a big 2nd Half,against a gale force breeze, alot men stood up, in a game i thought was going to fall away from them, at halftime. Cassidy a great goal though took plenty steps, followed quickly by another by Murray, could scored 2 more.

2 wins in 15 days! Fair play to those men for sticking with it.
Roll on next Sat

Excellent win for Derry especially a man down bit of momentum for them now should be aiming chase Cork Meath down with a couple of the more difficult games out of way.

[Derry Haiku]

Anybody see the so called red card incident? What a joke. It was Gough sent Glass off in the Hogan Final too for f@ck all.

Gough made a dig signal with his hand after issuing the card.

[outsiderlookingin]

Men its Kildare... 4th best team in Leinster.. catch a grip

On other note,I am hearing a club not happy with their management team already.Not happy with the Armagh men

According to the highlight show last night neither were red cards - so bad day at the office for gough yet again.
Very poor ref.
The goal we conceded was very soft - and whilst I thought McGuckin has been doing alright that was a big mistake. Is it lack of size maybe?

On the plus side for Derry, we have back to back wins, and we won this one without Glass, McCloskey (injured?), McEvoy, and Lynch. Hopefully big Higgins will be back in soon too. Things starting to shape up a bit and getting a bit of confidence back is key and also developing a bit of depth on the panel.

Watched a few of those games yesterday, Donegal looked strong but Mayo also never seemed to get going.
Roscommon looked very strong for the majority of the game but just couldn't kill Armagh off.
Tyrone v Cavan game was rubbish - Cavan could have put it to bed in the first half then collapsed in the 2nd, defending was shocking. I think Tyrone will have a tough year.

I still think Meath are the favourite to go up.

Canavan reckoned it was actually a body check on Glass which technically should've been a black card for the Kildare buck but true to form Gough gives Glass a red.
Early days and all but it's hard to see past Kerry and Donegal again. Galway looking strong too.

Good result for the senior hurlers at the weekend and a more than decent performance by the U.20 hurlers against Antrim. A shame for the minors and hopefully only an early season blip against Wicklow. Pity there's no chat about hurling, but only talk about Derry City and Limavady United over the last few days. 

Strong agree with this Squareball.

U20s had a good win against Wicklow yesterday.

Regarding the minors, Wicklow had a convincing win over Down yesterday, so perhaps this is a particularly strong side.

Congratulations to University of Ulster, Magee on winning the Fergal Maher Cup convincingly. See they had players from across the North and beyond on their panel, but a significant Derry representation.

I read they went undefeated this season, winning  by an average of 10+ per game. Some achievement for any team.

Any mention of McCluskey?
