If he ends his career without winning an Ulster title, Paddy Bradley says it will ‘haunt’ him forever.

Derry's John McCamley and Eugene Scullion will have their first taste of SFC action in Saturday's Ulster SFC quarter-final against Donegal.

Kildare veteran Dermot Earley admits he is “always thinking” of his knee, having just recovered from serious injury, but is confident he can play a part in this year’s championship.

Crossmaglen Rangers are on course to retain their AIB Ulster Club SFC title after coming through a tough examination from Ballinderry this afternoon.

A GOAL inside the opening minute was the crucial score as Ballinderry held off Dromore challenge to set up a semi-final clash with Crossmaglen.

TWO first-half goals from Raymond Wilkinson, the first of them after just 43 seconds, guided Ballinderry to their 12th Derry SFC title yesterday.

THE injury crisis affecting the Dublin hurlers shows no signs of abating with attacker David Treacy looking set to be the latest absentee for Sunday’s All-Ireland SHC semi-final against Tipperary in Croke Park.

THE possibility of both the square ball rule being scrapped and Hawk-Eye score detection technology being introduced for the 2012 football championships has moved a step closer.

It’s a myth that winners are hated. Jose Mourinho and Alex Ferguson draw opprobrium on their teams because of their incessant whining after games.

DONEGAL have come out of the dark horse category and won a few new admirers on the way.

DERRY manager John Brennan took this one badly.

THEY get knocked down, but they always get up again.

THIS game could have been a blowout.

Kildare 0-19 Derry 0-13

TODAY Ulster, tomorrow the world.

A COUPLE of dubious penalty calls, one given to Donegal and one not awarded against them, shouldn’t and won’t sully the county’s first provincial title in 19 years.

WATCHING Derry’s kick-outs in last month’s semi-final, it was striking just how little strategy was put into Danny Devlin’s punts.

Derry 3-14 Armagh 1-11

Derry 1-18 Fermanagh 1-10

There will be a number of players enjoying their first taste of the Ulster SFC when Derry and Fermanagh lock horns tomorrow.

Derry manager John Brennan reckons that Joe Diver (knee) and Niall Holly (ankle) could be fit to play in Sunday week's Ulster SFC quarter-final against Fermanagh.

Sligo 0-08 Derry 0-11

Derry 2-12 Tyrone 2-11

Westmeath manager Pat Flanagan and his Derry counterpart Damien Cassidy have announced their teams for tomorrow's All-Ireland SFC second round qualifier in Mullingar (throw-in 5pm).

Derry forward Paddy Bradley has revealed his plans to retire at the end of his county's 2010 All-Ireland Championship run.

Derry v Armagh

Derry manager Damian Cassidy has handed debuts to Michael Bateson and Declan Mullan, after naming his side for Sunday's Ulster Preliminary round clash with Armagh at Celtic Park (2pm).

DERRY’S footballers have experienced wildly differing fortunes from spring and summer in recent years and Paddy Bradley is hoping that correlation can stretch into a third season as they face into a championship opener against Armagh on Sunday.

Derry boss Damian Cassidy and Tyrone manager Mickey Harte have named their starting line-ups for the NFL Division 1 opener at Celtic Park.

FAIR play to Damian Cassidy.

MICKEY HARTE compared this Ulster semi-final to a chess match, but the longest game in that sedentary sport’s history was a sleep-inducing 20-hour marathon that would knock spots off this tie in terms of excitement.

DERRY chairman Seamus McCloy has played down suggestions the Ballinderry club is threatening to pull its players from the county squad.

LIMERICK footballer John Galvin has urged his hurling counterparts to make it a Shannonside double act in the Munster championship finals.

CORK football boss Conor Counihan has added four of the county’s recent All-Ireland U21 winners to the senior panel ahead of Sunday’s Munster SFC opener against Waterford in Dungarvan.

NO place for Tadhg Kennelly, and a experimental midfield partnership of Anthony Maher and Mike Quirke, might suggest Kerry are half-hearted about tomorrow’s Allianz Football League final.

Derry 0-14 Donegal 0-10

Tyrone 0-14 Derry 0-11

Derry 0-13 Galway 2-7

DERRY boss Damien Cassidy hailed forward Eoin Bradley as the ‘complete package’ after masterminding the destruction of Dublin on Saturday night.
