both ulster u17 semi final games between monaghan vs cavan & derry vs tyrone are in the athleics grounds sunday
Had there first league game last week against down. Got beat by 3. First touch killed them. Dry ball would suit them better.any word on the armagh u17s the year i see our u16s playing antrim u16s at 2pm today in athletic grounds
Dedication - fair play to youMinors (U17) did well today when they got going. A good Antrim side had them struggling in the first half but they came good in the second half. A few very stylish footballers in the team and they're definitely gutsy. When they started to play well Antrim discipline went out the window. Two red cards and at least two blacks - may have been a third, but not sure. Really glad we went out of our way to go to this before going to Ballybofey. Pity there weren't more there.
U16 game was a bit of a disappointment Only scored once in the first half even though the played with the wind. Played with the ball in the second half and improved slightly but we left with about 15 to go so not sure how it finished. They were 6 0r 7 down at that stage.
Ta, but it was worth it as it was entertaining. Can't do that all the time but these lads deserve a little support when we can. Some will hopefully become our seniors in a few years.Dedication - fair play to you
They were brutal. But for a kind referee...................can't believe I actually typed that!! Sorry. They played well, but derry were just superior. Referee didn't really give them a few handy frees. Who said that???Derry 1-15 Armagh 0-06 result looks like we've a poor minor team the year
Next weekend. Saturday I think. Athletic grounds.who does armagh minors play in the championship when and where/
Derry at 6pm next Saturday in AGwho does armagh minors play in the championship when and where/
Pat I'm almost sure someone mentioned Nicky Rackard or something like that - I know we're in Newry so it could be whatever Down play in Hurdling, but it's something like that to justify the stupid prices which I believe they have reduced £3 from last year!!So what game is on before the Down game then?
I agree Bull. Sure it always was great getting the younger lads to play before the seniors and get the atmosphere building, plus those lads deserve the chance to play in front of bigger crowds too. For a lot of supporters (cough cough mentioning no RagingBull names ) it's the first time they get to see [or in most cases] hear about the new lads coming through.Its shite the way they've took the minor game away from being played before senior game plus the minor team doesn't play the same county as the senior team does.
