Derry Club Football & Hurling original

"The Derry manager revealed that players not involved on Saturday night would be released for club games on Sunday to provide invaluable game-time and keep the panel sharp". Excellent

Meenagh said Dan Higgins still faces a race against time with a hamstring injury while Matthew Downey should be back in contention.

Goalkeeper Odhrán Lynch is "getting up through the gears" and will soon come back into the picture

Does anyone know why we keep posting about Limavady United? Are Coleraine going to get a mention? Magherafelt Sky blues. Maghera Strollers, Draperstown Celtic.

Or heres an option, stick to GAA!!

Exactly my point, Limavady United get more mentions than the Wolfhounds! Soccer is a massive challenge for the GAA club in the town, a town which the county needs to start pulling its weight for the greater good of North Derry GAA

Thought it was a comfortable game which we all expected really against a Division 4 team. Great to see Clucky and McEvoy get some much needed game time under their belts. As others have alluded to it was important to not pick up any injuries and move on to more challenging games ahead.

It does feel like we are building nicely though, especially squad wise. Forbes has been a good addition. Shea Downey is a decent option off the bench. Toner always has the potential to score a point or two. Niall O'Donnell can offer something. With big Dan Higgins to come back Ulster has to be the target. The All Ireland series will take care of itself.

On a side note is Scullion still nursing a knock or is McGuckin now first choice? McGuckin has been solid enough to be fair to him.

That looked like the first choice 15 that started yesterday. The only changes might be for tactical reasons and you would be confident enough that anyone coming in wouldn't weaken the team.
On yesterday's game hopefully E Doherty finds his shooting boots and the defence finds a way to tighten up on preventing 2 pointers.
Still not convinced by the early start for the championship.

The Wolfhounds plying their trade in Div 1 and I see their community neighbours Limavady Utd have just won promotion to the top league....plenty of good work being done by the looks of it, a town on the rise

Limavady got 2/3 skyscrapers playing for them.

Yesterday went as expected though i did think we would start a few fringe players to give them more game time than off the bench.
Also good to see McEvoy back!

Any updates on the club leagues? Twitter/X used to be good for keeping up to date but clubs very poor at posting updates on scores, never mind team scorers or team sheets even

Derry Gaels will give a run down of club action but like you say they're relying on Clubs to feed the info to them

There's definitely a gap in the market men, what about 'Brendan's on the Ball*', I'd subscribe

Like you keep pointing out my contributions are shite but yeah be nice if someone could fill that gap

Going by the results there was no real shocks this week. Plenty of draws in Division 1. I think as division 2 goes on it'll be a real struggle for some of the teams

Last two Ulster titles with semi final wins over Monaghan.....

Where do we think the venue will be? Armagh or Omagh?

[Brendan]

Ref shortage getting no better, heard a number of refs done both senior and reserve today

[Interstellar]

Derry's finishing throughout the league was poor with multiple goal opportunities missed. Defence was also poor with teams going through us far too easily. I didn't see anything different yesterday against very poor opposition. A big improvement is needed against Monaghan who are past masters of over achievement for their group of players.

Ah man, maybe ever so slightly on the negative side at times, but not shite 😁
