Thought I'd start a separate thread as talk about this game could find itself buried away on the other thread.

Decent minor league showing, but with a worrying tanking from Dublin. Derry showed alright in the league too, with draws against Tyrone and Donegal, wins over Antrim and Westmeath, and finishing with a defeat to Fermanagh, which cost them a place in the final.

With so little to go on I wouldn't be comfortable calling it either way. Expect our lads to be well drilled and to give it a good rattle though. The experience of the handful of lads around from last year could be vital.

Much of last year's team still on board?

Should be even enough. Both teams look decent without spectacular, they have a few handy forwards - Bell and Devlin the stand outs.

Will ours be named in advance?

Interesting to see Ternan Rafferty Kilrea on the Derry team .. His father is a stalwart Maghery man and a brother of kevin Rafferty . Had Musher moved back to Maghery no doubt his son would be wearing the Orange jersey instead

Pity.

AFS, I'm near sure it was named last year n advance. Possibly this evening then.
