Replying To Thesarsfields1975:  "Good point
Someone without arrogance and sense

I still believe killeevan will win by 2+ tomorrow serious chance for the lads to get of to a flying start"
Jaysus, I'm just back from watching Scotstown v killeevan, I don't know where your head is at lad.
Killeevan only scored 3 points in second half, and 2 of them in the last 5 minutes when Scotstown had went home.
No recognised names for Scotstown, well 1 but he's well the wrong side of 30 and on the wind down
Was a very poor game hopefully there is better to come.
I don't know if some of your previous posts are just wind ups, if they are you're doing a great job

Replying To Monaghan2011:  "Would give killevan a great chance if scotstown had to post a panel of players who can't play junior championship. But because they can bring whoever they want would edge scotstown."
The only way the Social Club would have a chance would be if the United Parishes played their Under 12s.

Attended the Inniskeen game. 2 Jones and Andrew Woods had the freedom of the pitch. Terrible first half from Ballybay but credible work in second Tommy K and McGuinness put the shoulder to the wheel. Result of the day was in the Seans it seems. All the talk of Currin and Newbliss being social clubs and the Seans produce that. Maybe starting a lad last week who hasn't played in a year has killed the morale in the team?

After toome losing woods it has left them in a very bad place there's no saving them now. Seems to be a gap in senior from the United parishes to the top 2-7 teams but it is very close matched between these 6 teams anyone can really win on their day, but the bottom 3 seems to just be getting their fill of it now from the bigger clubs. Will ballybay be able to come back after getting thumped by Iniskeen to stay up??

A lot of blow out wins on the first Saturday of the championship. Bad match ups or something else? Toome look a beaten docket. Surprised at doohamlet and Aghnamullen. Ballybay's demise has been well signalled. And what's up with Sean's, lost league semifinal at home and now to Currin at home. Kearns or no they are in a hole.

You may take a look again. I never called Currin a Social Club. Far from it. They always are competitive and have a nice blend of youth and experience. Have withstood retirals and larcency over the past few years and will still give allcomers their fill of it. As for their neighbours,what more can be said. Do the Mothers and Others have a championship?

I never said you did but there is a perception out there that with McCurrin leaving them to fold they'd be lucky to win a coin toss. Delighted for them, and football, that they won yesterday against the heavy hitters, Sean's.

Junior championship could be wide open again this year, with currin beating the Sean's last night. Interesting one with aghabog and Eire og later. Aghabog have kept him on the bench all year for whatever reason but, if they decide to start him, daire o brien could be a serious handling for the Eire og defence. Class act 1 on 1 and can seriously take a score/goal. Joy to watch.

Agreed on Toome but they have had a decent 10 years behind them winning a few leagues and being competitive in intermediate. With very little juveniles it's hard to sustain at adult level and it eventually will catch you. Same could be said for doohamlet and ballybay. Intermediate is fairly open with maybe carrick as marginal favourites. Blayney Donaghmoyne harps killanny will all fancy a go at it. I can't see anything other than a Scotstown corduff final , mc gee is a big boost for the south monaghan men.

Corduff Thir Conaill have ran their race. Scotstown going and beating them in the league semi with half a team demoralised them.

Todays game was over after 15 mins… nice handy start for clontibret who took the foot of the pedal in the 2nd half

Safe to say what I know about junior… Truagh got the job done as expected. What happened in corduff big shock for them I would imagine?? clontibret must have came out extremely strong and corduff didn't expect it from them.

I took a trip down to Eire Ogs grounds as they took on aghabog in the first round of the junior championship they flew into a storming lead with 9-0 as aghabogs main men went missing the height difference in the 2 teams was astonishing, Eire og end up on top at the end of there affair with Eire ogs number 13 getting a fair roasting by what's looks like someone in pre school,I can see these 2 teams up at the top of junior by the end of this years championship.

A county minor Seanan caralon who destroyed Micky Tierney in his championship debut not a bad start for the young talent as Micky tierney hit the youngster a tight hit which look to hurt him badly and he still goes on to put him in his pocket not a bad debut ?

Banty may dip back into the transfer market after today's performance. Corduff on paper are an intermediate team that are coached really well, and no amount of money in the world can change that (whether they like it or not) . They never have been anything and they never will be anything. Average team END OF

Like everything in life, size matters… lack of physicality is a big worry for the bog, could be stuck in junior for years despite all their numbers…as for Mickey it had to be off the ball……..
