What big names do UCC and UUJ have?

I'm just amazed that these lads have been asked to play 3 games in a row. Crazy stuff. What the hell are they trying to do to these lads!

UUJ have plenty of the Derry/Tyrone minor talent & UCC have alot of young talent from Nemo Rangers/Cork

I think the busy schedule is a return to the old format

[Zulu]

It's only for this year so I don't think it is worth getting too fussed about. Not ideal though.

[ck]

Yeah I appreciate the centenary thing and the return to the old format but surely there are better ways to celebrate the 100 years than slogging the life out of lads. 3 games in 3 days. Mad. I'll be interested to see what the final is like. I heard that UCC have 3 bad injuries, 2 of which are their captain and vice captain. Tough going.
Sigerson is a GAA treasure IMO.

Surely the quality of the final is gonna suffer after two tough games in the space of 30 hours or so.... Is it on TG 4 tomorrow?

A report in this morning's Independent newspaper reveals that the University of Jordanstown, could be kicked out of this year's competition because they've mislaid the trophy. The club failed to return the Sigerson Cup to the Comhairle Ard Oideachas by the deadline of December 24 and their opening match of the new campaign against Waterford IT has been cancelled while an investigation into the matter takes place. A hearing will be heard in Croke Park on Thursday night.

UUJ Gaelic Football club President John Farrell told the Independent that the trophy has not been seen since the day UUJ triumphed in the final. "The last time it was seen was in the Botanic night-club in Belfast, who are one of our sponsors, the night of our win in the final. It was being filled up and passed around the place, so I suppose there's a possibility that it could have been lifted up and carried out," he said.

Although the missing trophy is not actually the real Sigerson Cup - it was replaced by a new model for the 2001 season - it still remains a serious concern for the CAO. According to CAO chairman Des Cullinane, if the trophy goes missing, the winning club is responsible for its safety. They are also responsible for replacing the cup and are liable for a fine of over €600.

However, UUJ are more concerned about being kicked out of the competition than they are of having to cough up for a replacement trophy. "If we were thrown out of the Sigerson it would be a disaster for the club," Farrell told the Independent. "We're exceptionally sorry and we're going down to Dublin on Thursday with our hands held up. We'll offer to replace the cup and we won't complain if we're asked to pay a fine. On the other hand, if the CAO take the decision to kick us out of the competition, then we'll have no option but to appeal."

A GAELIC football trophy turned up yesterday 10 months after it mysteriously disappeared.

  The coveted Sigerson Cup, competed for by third level institutions, was left on the doorstep of a student hall of residence in Palestine Street, Belfast, the first time it has been seen in ten months.

But had the person who gave it back waited for another 24 hours he or she could have collected a £1,000 reward put up by the Botanic Inn pub for its safe return.

The cup disappeared from the Botanic Inn nightclub on the day the University of Ulster, Jordanstown beat UCD in the final last April.

"I can confirm that the Sigerson Cup is now safe and sound in the University at the moment," said John Farrell, the president of the UUJ Gaelic Football Club.

UUJ are due to appear before the GAA's Higher Educational Council in Croke Park today.

Before yesterday's discovery, they faced the possibility of expulsion from this year's Sigerson Cup, but they may now escape with a nominal fine for not returning the cup by the December 24 deadline.

Are you serious?

[Milltown Row2]

Usually a draw these games, and at 6/1 i may have a bit of that. Worryingly for me would be the injuries to the UCC players and Jordanstown are currently evens still a great price.
