Have on good account that their training has been something they've never seen before. With a back room team of Tony graham and young John mc menamin from carrick there is serious pedigree there to push on and maybe do something they haven't done in a long time. With the restructuring of the leagues I definitely fancy them to win within the next 2 years.

Kileevan playing some high profile challenge matches to date, heard they competed well with Crosslerlough last weekend and played a strong enough Donaghmoyne selection today.
40 men at training for a junior team is some going no matter what way you look at it

Aghabog had a panel of 46 last year. And they say small parishes are falling away

That doesn't suit the narrative!

Blame that crowd with the five parishes.

Same 5 year cycle with Oram though, get a manager from outside the county, there gone within a year, go for a manager that knows junior football, gone within the year and then go back to Tony Graham

Replying To Matchwatcher:  "Looks like Truagh are entering a Junior team this year as they're in the Ulster league along with Seans, Drumhowan, Currin and Scotstown.
Dermot/Casement Lynch seem to be over Killeevan. Saw them training in the Peace Link in Clones. Big numbers.
Who's managing/training Seans?"
They were in the Ulster league last year also. Waken up.

I wonder will any of the smaller parishes this year have a say in junior to beat Drumhowan??

Drumhowan are a small parish, No housing estates, no schools, they aren't getting an players transferred in from neighbouring club like Blackhill who have availed of players from Donaghmoyne and Castleblayney. They make the most of their resources , they have a strong executive committee that make sensible managerial appointments.

Defiantly drumhowans to loose, but I wouldn't ignore Blackhill, with three getting promoted every team will look for a way out seans with an outside chance as well.

I see Drumhowan are playing their games in Cloghan? Why's that or who do they know to get playing in there?
