2008 Ulster Club Championships

[The GAA]

where is the ulster club senor final and who's the ref?

[Doire abú]

You should have beaten Dungiven in 1997.  I recall watching them before we played and I'll be honest was thinking that we could handle them in the Final.  Lost sight of what was important that day.

Ah yes another infamous Canavan/McKeever battle that day which McKeever won on that occasion. In fairness Dungiven were a good side with a lot of quality back then... don't start lynchbhoy on this topic though or you're in for a long one!

Canavan was only half the man he had been owing to a fairly innocuous challenge the year before against some team in green.

Did he use that excuse every time McKeever put him in his pocket?

[ONeill]

I dunno, I'll check the '95 video!

The ulster club final between Cross and Ballinderry is fixed for Sunday 30th Nov in Enniskillen at 3.45 which means that the second half will have to be played under lights.

What a ridiculous decision by the "caring" ulster council.

[armaghniac]

I expect all of it will be all under lights. I  wouldn't be so worried about the lights, what's the point of having lights if you don't use them, having double bills starting at noon is not particularly sensible and it is often a bit dark for afternoon games. But Enniskillen is not very easy to reach from either Cross' or Ballinderry and it will be packed out with Freestate shoppers, creating a traffic nightmare. Casement would have been better in my opinion.

[FermGael]

you sure about that?if so its great news for enniskillen gaels club.as for the shoppers they will mostly be coming in from the other side of town.have to say i am very surprised its not at casement. On a side note the fermanagh senior 1 and reserve 1 league finals are fixed for the night before in enniskillen.i would say that will be put off and mean there will be competitive football in fermanagh in december.a disgrace!!

[Shortso79]

Enniskillen - what a joke ..

Still time to reverse this decision

very strange call by the Ulster Council to have the game in Enniskillen, no offence to Fermanagh Gaels but Casement is the obvious choice for both pitch and logistics. who makes the decisions and are both teams given a view or any input towards choice of venue?

[stiffler]

Hopefully its on tv..whats the chances of bbc showing this game??!!


it would be a perfect chance for them to redeem themselves in the eyes of gaa fans in the north.

[TacadoirArdMhacha]

Hopefully its on tv..whats the chances of bbc showing this game??!!

Zero.

[armaghniac]

Zero.

You are being unrealistically optimistic there, Tacadoir!

I'd say there is close to zero chance of them showing any clips from it, never mind the game.

[youngfella]

Are you saying the BBC, wouldnt show gaelic games, the same channel that have live coverage of indoor bowls. whats the world coming too!

[Lecale2]

Any word on where the SFC final will be played? Casement or Omagh maybe?

[Glensman]

Pretty disgraceful putting the senior final in Enniskillen in my book.

Doesn't really help anyone.

As Lecale says Casement or Omagh would have made considerably more sense.

[under the bar]

Omagh would have been the ideal venue.  Probably was promised to the new Brewster Park long before they knew the finalists.
