@newryhurler1@malmcmullan@jmcgarvey26 For sure. Peppered with some super young players as well. O Mianáin just one of a half a dozen. Hopefully the agony of the past three years isn’t too much for Johnny. He’s done a spectacular job since coming in. No one deserves that bit of glory more than him.
@newryhurler1@malmcmullan@jmcgarvey26 Their day has to come at some point, was the same story last year. Refereeing decisions that made little to no sense (although today was like a carry on skit at times) and just couldn’t get the rub of the green.
A devastating Derry dressing room after today's Christy Ring final
A fourth defeat in five years
Always chasing against a Londom team who were efficient when game in fire
Derry can be frustrated by the free count
Derry 11 - 8 scoreable
London 25 - 20 scoreable
@CavanCoBoardGaa Very unlucky today and up against a formidable opposition. It shows how far Cavan have come in just a few short years. Keep up the magnificent work.
@treanmor @NewYorkGAA @CavanCoBoardGaa@CavanHurlingDev They will be back. NY inclusion is an insult to the work being done in the likes of Cavan and Monaghan but in fairness to the Breffni men they gave them some fright and were very unlucky.
New York victorious but incredible heart from 14 man Cavan to battle back. There will be controversy with New York only entering the competition at the Semi-final stage but huge credit must go to Cavan who have only fielded a team since 2017.
All over here and London weather a late Derry onslaught to win by a goal. The better team overall but some genuinely mindless refereeing decisions from Pádraig Dunne cost Derry. Three Christy Ring final losses in a row now for Johnny McGarvey’s troops.
4 minutes into the second half and it’s more or less game over. The concession of a cheap penalty has been a sucker punch to the Ulstermen. You’d have to feel for Cavan, have put in a ferocious battle but it feels like the odds are stacked heavily against them here.
Glory for Roscommon as they edge neighbours Mayo to secure promotion to next seasons Christy Ring Cup. Cavan and New York already on the pitch for the Lory Meaghar final.
I’m all for @NewYorkGAA competing in the hurling system, but parachuting them into a semi final after a round robin makes absolutely no sense. It’s an insult to the work that every other Tier 5 county has put into their season when 70minutes of hurling can see NY make a final.
Monaghan boss slams New York inclusion as an 'absolute disgrace'
"It’s not that long ago the GAA were trying to get rid of five counties in Ireland from playing in the National League, and now the next thing they’ve done is bringing in New York."

This will be painted as a real success story by the media and GAA but it’s just another example of the disrespect to the lower tier players and competitions. What does this say to the players who have burst their holes the last few months to try and reach a final? #Hurling#GAA
Brilliant to see the work of the HDC beginning to come to fruition. First step on a long road toward growing the game.
Looking forward to what’s to come.
On Monday @officialgaa announced the support of 45 clubs establishing hurling as part of the Hurling Club Starter Pack process. Below is a map of where new clubs are situated. A very positive development & plenty more to do in the months & years ahead👇
