Good venues for the semi finals.

St Brigids would need to improve on their last performance to make it into that illusive final, but there is no reason they can't do just that.
Dunloy on the other hand had it so handy in the quarters that it may go against them. Could go to the wire this one.

Hard to see past Cargin unless they do what Portglenone did and bottle it and they are seasoned enough not to do something like that. Rossa have done well to get this far, fair play to them and they will give it their best rattle no doubts.

Not so sure Dunloy with get it as straightforward , they were sloppy defensively at times against LD who did not punish them enough , Brides will have to improve majorly but you'd imagine they will have a chip on their shoulder from previous years.

Cargin won't have any issues I think, they've been here and done it too many times before.

Any word on u20s fixtures?

Christmas week, free cracker with every match ticket.

Any word on u20s fixtures?

Believe it or not it's u21 now not u20. It went to u19 2 years ago after about 3 years at u20, then changed to u21 last year. The only consistent thing about is that it's played in the muck in November

I'll say it again after tonight's game, what is going on with the referees in Down?

That's now Tyrone and Down ruled out if we are thinking of importing referees....

[PólAointroim]

Business end of the season for the main contenders at all levels now that the 'also rans' have bowed out.

Heres hoping we get some great games over the weekend, the stand out has to be St Brides and Dunloy.

[AllStar15]

Has Darren been taken off duty? havent seen him down for many games since the Johnnies game? Hope he isn't being punished, hes one of our best referees.

[Níl a fhios agam]

Not a pile of chat in regards the weekends games? Take it  The Casements and Kickhams contributors have logged off for the year. On a personal level i think it will be two great semi's.

Brigids need to come out of their shell if they wish to beat the current champions, and at the same time, i think dunloys free flowing football could be really disrupted with a decent defensive structure. real interesting affair.

Rossa i hope hit the heights of performance they did v Casements to make this game, not the foregone conclusion everyone thinks it will be. If you look at the spine of their team, they have some great players (and hurlers).
Cargin apart from that creggan game, have been going about their business quietly enough. Dont know what version of them will turn up. However if complacent rossa could give them a scare

Dunloy to have too much for the Bt9ers I would imagine they've too much firepower 10 point victory

Cargin will get it tight and may possibly pull away last 10 by 3 points

What sort of foolish talk is this? 'Pull away last 10'
To win by a massive 3 points? Get real

Here, if they do get it tight playing Rossa then theres not much point you turning up to play Dunloy or Brides

[Níl a fhios agam]

i dont know why everyone would write rossa off at their peril. Cargin have been on the decline as last couple of years and arent the force they wernt were. Semi's are never easy affairs unless one team totally down tools.

Again, if Dunloy or brigids either end up with a victory of double figures, i will eat my hat

Not sure what's not real here Pol only my opinion

[PólAointroim]

Your opinion aint worth much Lar, you claimed nobody would touch Creggan or Portglenone
