Derry Club Football & Hurling original

[restorepride]

Congratulations to Iarlaith Donaghy on being selected as the top Schools' Gaelic footballer in Ulster.Last night, in a poll conducted from All Ulster schools, he was announced as this year's Danske Ulster Schools' footballer of the year.

During the past year he,as captain of St Pius X  from Magherafelt, played a huge part in his school reaching this year's MacLarnon Cup final.The final which was originally scheduled for St Patrick's Day will now feature as a curtain raiser to the MacRory Cup final which will now take place in October. Here St  Patrick's College, Maghera will take on St Colman's Newry in the Blue Riband of Ulster Schools football.

Iarlaith is currently a  Derry underage star and a prominent member of St Michael's GAC Lissan.So heartiest congratulations to himself,his family,his club and his County.What a signal honour to be selected as the number one player from over 100 elite footballers throughout the province.

No doubt we will see much more of Iarlaith when he develops into a mature and talented footballer for the Derry Senior County team.

Great news for Lissan and Doire.

Don't think Armagh have a hurling championship to accommodate, hence the ability to run off a football championship in a shorter timeframe

They do .

Sorry. I'll rephrase. A very limited hurling championship with a small number of clubs participating

1 club less than Derry. Derrynoose, Killeavy, cú Chulainn, Middleton, craobh Rua Keady, Seán Traceys as far as i know

I always thought Derry have 8 hurling clubs?

They do, Armagh have 7 as listed above. Craobh Rua and Keady are 2 different clubs

The county squad has been trimmed a right bit. Gallagher working with a far smaller panel than he was pre lockdown.

Gallagher's decision or have players decided (like Niall Morgan predicted in a recent interview) that the time spent in lockdown has given all inter-county players an appreciation of how much time they spend out of their house and away from their families.

What's the gist of the panel now? Or who has been cut?

Can any poster confirm the date of this year's Derry County Senior football final? Originally I read that it was scheduled for the weekend of October 10th/11th.Now I believe another outlet has said it is on the previous weekend  ie October 3rd/4th.

Perhaps some well informed person, like Toby 47, could enlighten us further as well as telling us the names of those players who have been omitted from the revised Derry Senior County football  panel for the remainder of the 2020 season or indeed those who may have been added to it.

If you mean the date of the football final, this is what the chair said in public interview - 11th October:

Any idea what punishment those local clubs that have been caught playing games recently when still not allowed to do so? I heard that Limavady were reported by Glack?

Any club puting a team out not insured is extremely irresponsible. Why a club committee would allow it beggers belief. Heard tonight teams within the 6 counties can play each other from Sat.
Looking at other countries who've eased lockdown before us, you'd have to wonder if club championships will be played / finished, never mind county championships

Never knew that was the case.
