Derry Club Football & Hurling original

[Estimator]

With Roarty not starting for Donegal today, he'll probably appear for the U20s against Derry mid week

[Brendan]

Good update on the website for the club results

Is camogie not included or has it just not started?

Also, hope they add in the referee assigned so we can look ahead to see who weve been inflicted with

Sargent wasn't listed in the 24 in the match program on the Ulster GAA website. And not mentioned in the twitter commentary.
Good wins for both the minors and the under 20s.
Minor team and squad seems to be a secret. haven't seen any information about them except scores.

The minors got out of jail yesterday. A poor enough game with not much quality on both sides. A howler from the Donegal keeper gifting us a goal near the end. Could have won by more if we had been more efficient and taken better options but have to remember most of these lads are still only 16. Some big units in the squad though for the age of them.

Derry U20s are in a great position to win Ulster and indeed the big one.

[Wildweasel74]

Judge better after the Donegal game, then need be getting game time into Sargent. Why Doherty pull out this year, he be one of the better forwards.

[jb77]

There's value in being the no 1 or 2 option on the back to back Derry champions as well, club pride and all

Should be a good game, some talented players on show who are/will be county seniors.
Good to see Luke Grant back. I hear Sargent is doubtful for this campaign.
 

[Newbridge Exile]

All level at half time, both teams having periods of dominance Max Campbell started and got a goal 30 seconds into the game  Cody Rocks started in place of Eamon Young

[Ryan O]

We'll move on from that U20 performance albeit both teams were very poor but Donegal won't care.

Thought we were very poor up front, didn't seem to have any ideas.

[Rawhide]

Pure crap, a team playing with fear of Donegal, and that message had to have delivered by the manager in whatever what they communicated to the squad. No body taking anyone on except McGuckin, slow laborious play with no purpose. Higgins is a quality player. A coached team that took one of the best u20 forwards in Ulster out of game in any threatening way. Hopefully this is a wake up call about how not to play

Totally agree some poor passing and decision making at times. Our defence was very good and we had loads of ball but we were poor in front of goal Eamon Young definitely a miss with his direct running. Thought Higgins could have been more direct tonight as well he didn't influence the game much.

[Ryan O]

We're going to end up developing a generation of half backs.

I get there's a system and the group need to be in sync but I'd love to see a real maverick of a young lad coming through who just has a go.

This isn't just a Derry thing, very few counties seem to be prepared to find a spot for these type of players.
