Derry Club Football & Hurling original

[Ryan O]

Went to Bellaghy on Sunday for the launch of the book, 'A Bitter Harvest- The good life & unresolved murder of Derry Gaa man Sean Brown' by Garbhan Downey. A strong turn out of support for the Brown family and Bellaghy GAC. Niall Murphy gave an up to date account of the current legal position and next steps. I believe, and maybe naively that the SOS Hilary Benn's father Tony, would turn in his grave at the stalling/impediments his son has placed in the way of getting to the truth and the implications of 25 state agents in a public enquiry. Its truly disgusting & shocking, but sadly not surprising from the Brits.

I also went early to see the game with Bellaghy & Magherafelt, very rarely see any league football in Derry, would go to alot of championship games. I thought the refs in Antrim were poor, but not a patch on this ref. He went out of his way to beat Bellagy or help Magherafelt, I don't know what way to put it. A bad buoy in my view. After that I will not knock another Antrim ref. In saying that both teams put up an entertaining game.
 

That's interesting. My work colleague from Magherafelt said the ref went out of his way to penalise Bellaghy. When he told me who the ref was I can't say it surprised me and thats not good for a ref when he starts to loose players and supporters respect.

Screen definitely getting it tight. Would Limavady not be in that relegation pot once county players return, would imagine Ballinderry would pick up enough pts when they have all their players.

Agreed, 3 big players to come back for Ballinderry will push them on a bit. Kilrea don't appear to be in good way of going.

Screen have been floating about there for 2/3years in relegation play-offs and that so not surprised they are in another battle.
