Good win for Ballygawley despite not being at their best. Aside from the poor finishing it was a decent game.

Few costly errors by Eunans in last few mins.

Would it be fair to say Errigal would have to improve a lot to be winning Ulster? Need to get way more from the Canavan's and Peter Harte if they are to be contenders.

Fancy Cargin to beat them.

If Cargin beat them I'll walk naked from Rossa's pitch to St Paul's pitch.

Errigal missed a pen and gifted St. Eunan's a 45. Should have won by more. Better team won.

Yes and they've limped along at that level in almost every game they've played.

Not a hope.  Errigal will beat Cargin I think by a good 5 points.  St Eunans would be more of a challenge than Cargin, certainly in the forward line department

What make you think 5 points?

I ask because I don't think they've beaten anyone by 5 points so far?
And Glen didn't even beat Cargin by 5 last year. Cargin had 14 men for a long time too.

I think Errigal will improve as the championship goes on.  Cargin I dont think have the firepower up front to really have an impact in Ulster, still heavily reliant on Tomás McCann.  Think that Aidan McCrory will cancel out Pat Shivers and I just dont see where Cargin pose a threat thereafter.  Think If Errigals forward line really gets motoring that the Cargin defence will struggle to maintain them if they aren't making any headway up front.

Duine Inteacht Eile

Funny I think Aidan McCrory is someone who Cargin will be looking to target with Shivers or Michael McCann. Cargin bring a lot of physicality and Errigal have been known to struggle with that type of team. Accused of soft underbelly? Who knows...? If the Clonoe backline were able to lock the Canavans up, I don't see how Cargin's would struggle. I haven't seen a lot from Errigal this year to suggest they are a level above Cargin.

Cargin beat Naomh Conaill on pens 2 years ago but it seems the last time they won a game in Ulster in normal or extra time was 25 years ago against Errigal's biggest rivals.

I doubt the Errigal team will approach Cargin with the dismissive attitude displayed here, Cargin a real solid, battle hardened team with tons of experience in the USFC, a lot more than EC. All Errigal's strong points are in the forward line, plenty of scope for Cargin in that EC defence, they'd already be gone if Eunan's could shoot.

Must be over 10 years since Errigal last won a match in Ulster, normal time or not.
Apart from an hour ago obviously....

Good game tonight, Cargin won't leave much room at the back and they'll be happy with a cat and mouse game. Errigal are favourites given their forward firepower it hasn't clicked yet I'd be sticking a fiver on Cargin if the odds are good, although it may not be a pretty spectacle.

Errigal weren't the better team there the night. They dont look any great shakes to be honest

Had to laugh when Ger Canning said the ball was gone out for a corner just before Eunans was about to take a 45.


Bit disrespectful to Scotstown / Kilcoo et al.

The winter ground will suit Scotstown and kilcoo ...

Kilcoo and Scotstown have the advantage of experience at this level which is invaluable. Likes of Errigal Ciaran and Clann Eireann at least have some in recent years which should stand to them.
