Carrick VS play Holy Trinity of Cookstown this Thursday in Omagh (2pm AFAIK) in the under 16 Ulster Final, as you know the school won all three county titles which is a great achievement for a school with just over 200 students (half of them are girls) so the school is one hour away from Ulster glory!!

1.30 in Omagh tomorrow.

BE SURE TO POST UP A FEW UPDATES IF YOU CAN CARRICKMAN

Unfortunatley they were beat in the final today

Carrickman · 04-03-2010 9:03pm

They were well beat on the end by a very classy Cookstown side, the turning points really were a missed Carrick penalty on 20 mins that would have leveled the game up and they hit the crossbar minutes latter that seemed to take with wind out of the side final score was 2.16 to 1.09 not a true reflection of the game that scoreline.

unlucky, but sure an ulster final is a massive achievement. like whats going on in the glenties/fintown area there seems to be massive development work going on in the carrick area.
can only bode well for the future of donegal gaa

Surprised Hanlon isn't starting. The hf line is a bit inexperienced - will we be able to feed our in form ff line?

Kildare by 2 I reckon. Doyle being back is a big boost for them.

An awful game today. First real test in the league this year and failed badly. We got a fluke goal and were probably lucky not to have a man sent off in the 1st half. Hard to take anything from it really.

Only listened to it on Highland but we seemed off the pace completely. According to McHugh we were to "nice" around the middle of the field (i.e. not dirty enough) and didn't play as a team up front.

The ball into McFadden and Murphy seemed to be poor enough as well (and I read a Kildare man comment on this elsewhere as well). Not too often that Lacey gets switched off his man! Doyle scored for fun while Early seemed to boss Cass, big Neil and Monaghan around very easily.

Is the Down game at home next weekend?

From memory, I think it is. Down were missing a couple of players due to a wedding, so that would explain the Tipp result, to a degree!

I'd say he might put out a less experimental team against Down.

Disappointing result last night. The days of McCool park being somewhere for opponents to fear is well and truely gone. In the second half particularly, Down put up a wall of defenders around their 45 and we seemed incapable of figuring out how to deal with it. Again and again we had men trying and failing to break through that line. We went over and back until we lost the ball. Down then broke at speed and were able to punish us.
In our first 2 real tests of the year we have been shown up. Things are going to have to change significantly or its going to be a very short summer.

Aye great result against an Armagh team that were strong favourites. Listened to the second half with Charlie and Martin and it sounded like Murphy, McLoone, Molloy and McHugh had particularly good games. Armagh had a man sent off after around 10 min of the second half.

ardmacha · 24-03-2010 11:21pm

Well done, Donegal. Be sure to push on now.

RMDrive · 27-03-2010 1:51pm

Barry Monaghan has removed himself from the Donegal panel? WTF is going on there? Maybe he's unhappy with where he was being played? Anybody know the story here?

Redsoxfan · 28-03-2010 11:31pm

Poor enough game on Saturday night-if Meath had been able to keep 15 men on the field for longer it might have been a different story. Still, we essentially play off with Armagh to see who gets promoted. Hopefully a good crowd in Letterkenny for that game. Not sure if we're good enough for Division 1, but given that it looks like Derry, Tyrone/Monaghan and Antrim will be in Division 2 next years, it mightn't be a bad idea to get out while we have the chance!

Heard that Christy Toye played a half for St Michaels today.

With no preliminary round in the senior championship there is no excuse to get this played on time this year, the two first round games should be played before the Ulster Championship game and any playoffs after that and then it down to the last eight. But we all know the county board and this wont happen.

He didn't play for Glenswilly last weekend, but all other county players played a full game. The U-21 players were held out.
