Replying To farneygael:  "This is by no means a dig l, but everyone mentions Iniskeen being this wee village, am I missing something because has iniskeen not got (open for correction on all this) 3 schools, 3 pubs, and 2 ot 3 church's.
Now I know against the parishes its nothing, but hearing about this "small village" has me a wee bit like, ahhhh hear now, come on.
If im wrong im wrong, just want to get it out there.

PS Woods is class"
2 schools, 1 pub, 1 church, 2 shops, 1 kavanagh centre. A small village by any metric. The point stands, for inniskeen to be short two players of the quality of the jones brothers it will always be an uphill battle, they simply do not have the players to replace them.

I thought Drumhowan were untouchable. Some chance for Currin or Aghabog now. Drumhowan are a young fast team if they are to be beat, Currin Aghabog need to drag them into a dog fight be really physical and try limit Tom Doherty because they don't have much else in the Foward line.

Defensively they are able to be got at Soemtimes they are wide open at the back. Young Caolan Reilly and Mc elearney love to attack and their other wing back seems to love attacking too and is the weak link in their defense. I think they will be pipped in the final.

Replying To ORIELMAN85:  "I wouldn't say they would be very ordinary, but they would be very beatable. If the United Parishes didnt have Rory, Inniskeen would likely have 3 titles won."
Not very ordinary but ordinary as in the same as the other contenders. Going after and getting Jack was massive too. As for winning the league, well I think we all know it isn't a priority for most.I'm talking championships.

I could be wrong but did truagh need a point in the last kick of the game against magheracloone to get a draw ? Would that have put maghercloone up and Truagh down ?

Winter football. Championship football started last weekend. United are still defrosting but should be a gear or two better on the 18th before Ulster

Replying To McMon:  "I think Clones might pip Ballybay. They have some serious pace and a lot of height around the middle third with Beggan, Shane Freeman and Eoghan McPharland. Darren Freeman still playing like a young man at nearly 40 is mightily impressive."
Massive carrot of promotion for the intermediate semi finals too. Winner of each game guaranteed to go senior

Is right! Ballybay and Clones are 2 vastly different clubs too, when you think about the population being very similar, if not higher in Clones. You'd wonder why Clones haven't been in senior in god knows how long. Serious opportunity for both teams of course but especially them.

Wrong again. Loser of final will play Aughnamullen for promotion.
