Suppose the line ups for the QUB/ UUJ match are not available?

[CityGael]

Think it just shows that as in any other level of the sport, the championship is about on the day and not previous form!

UUJ beat Queen's in Sigerson Cup 


Three players were sent-off in a heated second half as UUJ caused an upset by beating Queen's 1-12 to 1-6 in the Sigerson Cup quarter-final at the Dub.

Queen's duo Joe O'Kane and Paul Courtney and UUJ player Niall McKeever were shown straight red cards.

UUJ, boosted by a Ciaran Donnelly penalty, stormed into a five-point lead but Queen's replied with a goal from Derry's Sean Leo McGoldrick.

Tyrone player Colm Cavanagh scored four points from play for UUJ.

McKeever landed two superb scores before being dismissed with O'Kane after a melee.

The match between St Mary's and NUIG was postponed and the winners will face UUJ in the semi-final.

Never even thought of it like that. I suppose McGuckin would cost nothing compared to wee James. I mean, what type of clubman would charge his own club for his sevices?

Before the game today all the talk on this board and elsewhere was off a certain red headed midfielder who was a star of the future.  Well despite his greatest efforts him or his teammates could not contain another ginger genius who ran the show who goes by the name a Packie Downey - in the words of Andy Gray take a bow my son.

Dundalk IT give Garda a real scare

Date: 04 February 2009
By James Rogers
Dundalk IT gave one of the Sigerson Cup favourites, Garda, a huge scare in their second round clash at the college on Wednesday before going down on a 0-16 to 1-10 scoreline.
Cork's John Miskella and Leitrim's Emlyn Mulligan both converted a brace of points in the early stages to give the visitors a two point lead after 23 minutes. However, points from DkIT's Ciaran Hanratty and Conor McManus ensured the sides went off level at the break on a scoreline of 0-5 apiece.

Mulligan and Hanratty exchanged points on the restart but Garda quickly pulled away from their opponents with Miskella adding four points as they raced into a 0-13 to 0-7 lead with 11 minutes remaining.

However, Dundalk IT were not willing to give up without a fight and after McManus pulled a point back on 50 minutes, it was quickly followed by a goal a minute later from Cavan's Cian Mackey that had the deficit reduced back to two points.

In the end Garda just managed to hold out for the win but were fortunate that referee Dominic Brogan failed to spot a clear footblock on a shotfrom McManus in the closing stages.

One of the talking points before the game was whether the Louth U-21 players would be involved but the trio of Jason Clarke, Declan Byrne and Barry Flanagan all started the game. However, there was no sign of Dundalk IT boss Mickey Heeney with Cathal Kearney and Louth senior player Derek Crilly taking charge of the side on the day.

Garda: D O'Brien; S Breheny, R O'Connor, C McGill; S Mulligan, E Callaghan, D Mullahy; M Cussen, M Milner; M Harrington, J Miskella (0-6), J Kavanagh (0-3); J Martin, G Brady (0-1), E Mulligan (0-6, 5f). Subs: G O'Connell for M Harrington, 45 mins; N Shevlin for G Brady, 50 mins.

Dundalk IT: P O'Rourke; J Clarke, B Cusack, D Galligan; D Byrne, D Lubby, R Gorman (0-1); A Callaghan, A Collins; C Mackey (1-0), C McManus (0-4, 3f), P Young; A Farrell (0-1, 45), C Hanratty (0-3), B Flanagan. Sub: M Lennon (0-1) for B Flanagan, 43 mins.
Referee: D Brogan (Armagh).

Before the game today all the talk on this board and elsewhere was off a certain red headed midfielder who was a star of the future.  Well despite his greatest efforts him or his teammates could not contain another ginger genius who ran the show who goes by the name a Packie Downey - in the words of Andy Gray take a bow my son.

Always found him over rated.  Did he do the business today? Fair play to him.
