Replying To HB245:  "Expecting a huge statement from Scotstown tonight. Clontibret missing McCooey and most likely Darragh Hughes after going off injured last week. As well, Charlie Mone played in the minor final last night so I doubt he will play, which leaves them without 3 of their starting forwards. We could see a very ugly score line here.

I think Truagh beat Corduff in what should be a very physical affair. O'Neill vs McGee in the middle should be some battle of the two new transfers. Think Truagh are the better all around team with or without Mohan.

Also expecting big statement from Castleblayney tonight. Some posters here seem to think it'll be tight- I'd be amazed if Tyholland got within 5 or 6 points.

Wouldn't rule out an upset in Harps vs Clones. Think Clones, if fully fit, have the personnel to cause serious problems."
Hope you didn't put too much money on Truagh

Ah no sure we were unlucky to not win a few champs between 2006 and 2013. Be back dominating in 10
Years

Truagh are a mile off went corduff to fulfill a fixture by the looks of things absolutely brutal

Clones lucky in harps, a howler from harps done well too get the draw in the end

Two freak goals either side of a 45 that clones got which has to be the worst 45 call in the history of the game. Harps have assembled a very good squad, Freeman well marked and don't believe he scored from play.

Replying To latefortraining:  "Oram have Big turn over in players from last year. Especially in attack Paugie Graham, Ryan Mcguinness and Jason McDonald. After a great run in the group the whole thing implowded in the aghabog game. Sending off and poor discipline.
Out of all the junior teams with the exception of emyvale. Their under age set up is in good health. They will contest their 3rd minor final in two years this weekend. Their u16 have been competitive, their u14 have contested div 2 and 3 finals. I see they have fielded a second team at u14 this year and their u12s are also competitive. All fielding on their own no amalgamation. They had a county u20 in mccooey, lynch on the minors and couple on the u15 development team. It will be 4 or 5 years before they become competitive at adult level again. And by competitive I mean getting in top 4 and contesting semi finals. They are along way off from winning anything"
Yes 3 big names gone from oram.connor mc kernan hugh brennan also away.mc Donald was never reliable.A great player when on the field but bit of a spice boy and let them down more times on the big occasion especially in inniskeen again seans. Graham great player but was only as good as the ball went into him from either mc guinness or mc Donald. More times than not if these 2 weren't playing graham didn play.

Mc guinness in my eyes was the better of the 3 he wasn your most agile or speedy player but he had all the rest. He could read a game and deliver top quality ball,also take a fine score. He seamed to be a hard dog for the ole road in the number of years he was playing he always seamed to be on the field giving his best.

As for the future of oram or the bunch of lads der now. It is a regrouping stage and for the irwins from the dog to the pups they all have to much to say.

Early indications are that they won't be far away, was very impressed with them last weekend albeit against a average agricultural outfit… big step up in class yest and word is that they should have won it… Vincent looks rejuvenated is well..

Ah stop now. Blayney v Carrick in both finals and both getting promoted. All that matters in intermediate. Cup to be thrown in boot of the car and move on

Lad, kay off the stuff. They are tropyless for the past 20+ years and likely to stay that way for a number of years. There will probably be celebrations in Oram and Blackhill long before the town "spice boys" pick up silverware again.
