Replying To ScarnaMan1990:  "Fully agree when the going got tough in currin and they started to go downhill after losing main players with damn all coming through he jumped ship to take the easy way out."
They were getting very small numbers about 10 years ago for training and had to train with Redhills. Did it improve much since? Were they ever a senior club?

Two semi finals in the junior championship that are very hard to call. Eire og probably have the size around the middle 8 but I don't think that they've enough up front to beat aghabog.
Drumhowan are the form team in the championship at the minute and if toome are without James Wilson I can only see drumhowan winning.

The big pitch in Castleblayney will suit Drumhowan, they have more legs around the pitch.

Replying To Jjoniel79:  "Teachers putting messages into WhatsApp groups with players by accident with the names of lads 'not for consideration' was the latest.

Previously one genius manager decided not to play any of his 6th year students in the McRory cup in order to develop the 5th years.. unsurprisingly this didn't go well and both year groups were unhappy. Then the next year the supposedly developed 6th years got annihilate so the whole episode was for naught.

As a program the sems development system has been in bad shape for a long time as evidence by their lack of success. Seems that beech hill and the Irish school is where it's at for young north Monaghan footballers now."
Hope the teachers in question are no longer involved with squads

Replying To Wambamalam:  "Was at Oram Aghabog, Aghabog deserving winners by a long shot, early red card killed Oram and Irwin very poor, suprised at his work rate for an inter county footballer for his club, think Aghabog will be in the final now, a well set up outfit and deserve all the praise the way they played yesterday."
Player Red Carded followed by another player black carded Killed Oram. Oram looked and big slow team,compared to pace of Aghabog. Noticed a few Oram Substitutes Laughing midway into the second half which was poor form. It was not a good look.

Eire og going under the radar must say. Drumhowan are young and fit but may not have that tastiness that toome have with experience. Toome and Og final for me

They're dead right, if they can't compete with Scotstown they should keep getting relegated to win something.

All they'll win is the right to play scotstown, ballybay and Clontibret next year - real "big" clubs.

With scotstown looking like they are going to walk the senior championship again this year is it time that we started looking at setting up divisional teams.

Agree. Especially considering everyone else is already competing against a divisional team (The Scotstown, Tydavnet, Ballinode and Knockatallon amalgamation).
Tydavnet is big enough by itself to have two clubs for Gods sake!

Okay so how would that work exactly ? How would they train? When?
