Derry Club Football & Hurling original

Jack just making sure there was no extra time to keep him from getting to the Ponderosa

Who is on that Lavey management team, I think its Shay Murrin who is in the stand.

Black haired fella and another a bit older lad with grey hair on the sideline?

Heard some absolute rubbish about the ref working for Conor Doherty being shouted and resulting in that 13 yard free.

Also whole load of watch pointing at the end of the first half after Lavey got turned over, I presume the argument was injury time should only be allowed if we are attacking.
The same at the end of full time where they felt more time should have been allowed for them to score another two pointer? Despite time being up.

I must say, the coverage on Urban TV has greatly improved. Well done to them. Fantastic viewing, well worth the money to support Derry GAA and this production company.

The football between the two matches seemed liked two different grades. Loup dominated the first half and cleaned out Swa in midfield. Didn't reflect on scoreboard. Swa came out and upped the tempo in second half. Oisin McWilliams was immense as was Tiarnan Walsh. They deserved the win. Loup's shooting will disappoint them.

Newbridge showed why they are county champions for the last two years in the second game. Always making the correct decision in attack and their defence overloaded in the correct spots. Lavey were a mere shadow to them. Their late points at the end couldn't deflect the difference in the teams. Newbridge are set up to a tee in defence, very well drilled.

Thanks for the commentary and viewing online today. Thoroughly enjoyed it.  Keep er lit.

They had about 5 along the lines during the league,no idea who was manager.

Lavey got a 2 pointer the last 4 minutes that was comfortably 2 foot wide on the opposite side from the seated stand.  Jack McKaigue flagged it whilst he was standing 2 metres from the post. 🤷 The linesman told the ref it was wide. Linesman like myself adamant. He actually shouted to crowd he told the ref it was wide. Shocking decision

Glad someone else clocked that strange moment 🙈 Bridge efficient yet again, but they always looked like they could go up through the gears if they needed to. Lavey were a big disappointment though, I honestly expected a lot more from them.

Lavey look a world away after watching them today. Newbridge looked very composed.

Bellaghy could well enter the reckoning. Tomorrow's game with Glen will be a good indicator of where they are at.

Grey haired man looked very like Paddy Campbell from Donegal/Steelstown

Yes it is Paddy Campbell. Think Shay Murnin is manager according to derry gaels podcast, though id never heard of him, where is he from?

Thought Steelstown would give that a better cut tbh, fairly brutal shooting. Magherafelt didn't look too hot for awhile but came on well. Aidan McCluskey was a busy man

 Just a query for those supporters who have attended Derry Club games  this year. From Ciaran Meenagh's 2027 Derry County team perspective, who were the stand out players especially when you take into account those club teams which have already played two rounds in this years's Derry championships at all levels?

 There would be one caveat. There would be no point in selecting players,no matter how talented they were, if they were likely not to make themselves available to the County panel or who would be likely to disappear after a few games of the National Football League!

Could the add on to this question be who have we seen who is regularly involved for Derry who doesn't look they are at the level any more.

James Murray - Magherafelt
Cathal Mc Kaigue - Slaughtneil
Damon Gallagher - Bellaghy
Tommy Rogers - Kilrea
Oisin Mc Williams - Swatragh
Oisin Doherty - Newbridge

It will likely be boys who have been in and about Derry panels in the last couple of years. I don't think we will just find someone out of nowhere. I would try out a few of the below lads.

James Murray
Oisin McWilliams
Shane McGrogan
Donnagha Gilmore
Alex Doherty
