We really need to have a conversation about splitting the county in two and having a Country Championship and a City Championship.

City clubs seem a long way behind the country clubs at the moment. What's happened? Better facilities for the country clubs vs the city clubs? Too many other sports/distractions in the city and gaa not a priority?

Country clubs apart from 1 have played catch for the last 25/30 years.

Yes it should be restricted to clubs who have won a SFC in last 15 years.

[Duine Inteacht Eile]

That's a narrow field. Extend it to 60 years and you'd have 2 great championships.

[Take the Mark]

Dunsilly for both semis? 1 on the Saturday and 1 on the Sunday you'd presume.

Who did St Brigids get in the semi final?

[Caesar]

The notion that Dunloy were a flash in the pan is well and truly put to bed. They are no bad team when they have their best 15 on the pitch. They have a few county-level quality players but I suspect we will never see them in Saffron colours

Not sure we can blame distractions when some of Dunloys best players dont kick a ball to late July

They have pulled out of the competition and are going on a training weekend instead 😂

[NAG1]

Interesting semi-final pairings.

I think at this stage all 4 teams could make a case for going on and winning the whole thing.

[Take the Mark]

Yes, indeed NAG. Its wide open with any of the final 4 capable of winning it.

Biddies were looking too far ahead of themselves.  You have to give Dunloy the respect they deserve otherwise they will catch you out. Brigids left with too much to do in that 2nd half and ran out of time.

Didn't see anything in that game to make me think they would even be contenders. Who or how many were they missing from their first 15?

[NorthAntrimSaff]

Is there only 1 downey playing or what is the story there?
