I'm not sure who the draw favours. I'm know Keady would have like a stiffer test in the semi final before potentially playing one of the other 3 teams.
I expect Middletown to get through the other side of the draw. Hard to tell what way Cuchulainn is going with playing one team in the Antrim league and another in Armagh. I know they lost the Antrim league final. I would say they have improved a lot from last year but still fancy Middletown to get over the line by a few points.
Derrynoose seemed to be struggling this year. They have took a few heavy beatings in the league and cup. I know they fancied themselves last year and with Mattie Lennon managing them this year, I expect a well drilled team fired up for championship. Although its hard to beat a wining mentality and a good league going into championship.
Any dates fixed for championship? I head October time but not sure if that's correct. If that's the case, it gives any of the above teams plenty of time to get the work done before championship.
I took Keady last year because I thought they had the younger fitter team so I'll try them again this year.
Good luck to all teams involved
Over the past years all adult championship finals have been worked out dependent on when the championship winner would take part in the ulster club championshipDates released today, Armagh out of the rackard cup 3 or 4 weeks now, league nearly over and they set c’ship on Oct 2nd and that just the pre-lims. I think that’s a joke, probably means November finals. Surely this could have been started mid/early sept.
Anyone see the 1" violin about?A semi final in December Ulster council arent half wise…
Have we any indication on how the games should play out this weekend? It's peculiar given that they haven't met in the league this year given CHC division 2 status and their participation in the Antrim league. Did they meet in the McCormack cup this year at all ?
The number 12 for the rua is a fine player. A future talent for armagh no doubt![/QUOTE
I had a nephew playing young ohare, serious athlete and can hurl the best. A Double champ now in recent weeks, certain lads within the club have changed opinions on him of late. They were glad of him i tell ya !!
Back down in intermediate, play Castleblaney now in a few weeks.Who do Middletown play in Ulster, are they senior this year or can they play intermediate?
Would an Ulster title be on the cards? Sorry I’m not that up to speed but I imagine Derry and Antrim will be strong at intermediate levelBack down in intermediate, play Castleblaney now in a few weeks.
Remarkable how this Middletown team are still winning championships considering they haven't won an underage championship at any level since 2009, fair play to Keady really tested Middletown and probably had them on the ropes at half time, but that was always to be expected as keady are a quality side.
Well done to Craobh Rua on the junior win once again, I think they play Donegal champions St Eunans now.
