Yes Bailah, great to see Bogue and King received that recognition from Queens and have no doubt both will make positive contributions to the county team in the future. Correct Bogue couldnt commit with college commitments this year, he certainly could enhance options in midfield area, his performances in Sigerson cup were very impressive too, so im sure when can commit he be a good asset.;

Definitely a pity that some of the forwards from that great Hogan team have committed to soccer, where they have also excelled and can receive financial rewards but maybe in few years may throw hat in ring with county team.


Joe McDade is on the county panel already, he had bad injury and was a late addititon to the bench in Carrick on Shannon on Saturday so hopefully he be able to get on pitch against Anttrim as be another good option for midfield sector

Replying To cillnaile.:  "Keep in mind that the Leckers are well used to unseemly behaviour, dirty tactics on the field and verbal activity and my dad says he remembers one of your veteran players (well-known since) for his dirty play. It seems to be in the culture of you lot."
Too true cillnaile. I witnessed, at a senior championship game a few years back, one of the Belnaleck players deliberately elbowing a key Ederney player in the face, pre-planned no doubt.

Muscle injury I think - close to a return by the looks of things. Hopefully in time for the knockouts.

No, both Fermanagh and Antrim have qualified for at least a preliminary round knockout.

Top team of each group qualifies straight to QF.
2nd placed team of each group qualifies for Prelim.
The 3 best placed third placed teams & NY also qualify for prelim.

Fermanagh are guranteed to be at least one of the three best 3rd placed teams.
Antrim are guranteed a top two finish.

Hope that helps!
