Re. the grant, not sure if the amount has been disclosed, but hear £££s are awarded for underage development only. Every penny helps!

Actually Ballinderry have a huge development planned and I have seen the plans. It is a project running well into seven figures. Now that Celtic Park is the county ground I think the priority in facility terms should be an updated clubhouse/changing room area which is to everyone's benefit. There needs to be a new terrace at the road side because the existing one is dangerous and the slope/height it occupies would be dangerous if something wasn't put there to replace it. I also argue that a fence is needed at the road at the new pitch not least from a child protection point of view.

We have been usurped as the no2 ground in favour of Owenbeg by the county board. There will be no more county games. As for the road side terrace I personally would raze it to the ground. The cost of reinstating it far outweighs the value of replacing it. Lets concentrate on on-field development.

I take your point about the stand but to be honest i would much prefer for all our resources to be poured into the development of our teams. Look at ballinderry, no stands, no terrace even, but a record to envy and aspire to.

It is a must to replace the terracing on the glenshane side of the ground. Yes less games are coming but the Celtic Park (all games go there wont last forever) No reason why we cant build a stand at the far end of the ground like the other. At the end of day we want to have a ground like Crossmaglen in Armagh (2nd in command to the main ground)

To Mr Outsider....it seems quite ironic that you slate others for their grammar skills, given that you are most certainly not in the running to collect any Nobel prizes for Literature, any time soon......We in Glen are well aware that we have underachieved in Senior Football over past few decades, especially with some of the great footballers that we have produced. With that in mind, we are determined to bring our underage teams through to Senior level, with the objective of course being to win a Derry Senior Championship title. If this target will be achieved, well only time will tell. There are certainly no guarantees in life!! In the interim period, we will do our best to ensure that we have the best coaching, structures, infrastructures and facilities in place.....Now Mr Outsider, I think the natural order of things will be for you to reveal your club, so that we can get the debate opened fully. Seeing as you have all the answers, we in Glen might even learn something from your marvelous sporting achievements and envious ‘Roll of Honour’...

First of all, "WATTY GAEL".. With that use of punctuation and grammar it seems like you're the man only out of the pub. The main topic is, the amount of Derry Senior Football Championships (the big prize) that your club can boast, me and you both know that number. Should the amount of quality players that your club has produced not resemble some success at senior level? In my opinion, the amount of underage titles are irrelevant, Bellaghy haven't won an underage top division championship for many of years, as have Glenullin and Loup, yet they are few of the top dogs in senior football today. I'm just giving the opinion which is also shared with the whole of the county apart from yourselves and Magherafelt as they are on the same boat. The rant will be over when you win your first senior title.

RE OUTSIDER. YOU STATED THAT WE HAVE HAD HUGE UNDERAGE SUCCESS. WE DID WON A MINOR CHAMPIONSHIP IN THE LATE 80'S. I DON'T THINK WE HAVE EVER WON AN U-16 CHAMPIONSHIP. WE HAVE WON 2 FEILES WHICH WERE APPROX 20 YEARS APART. THIS IS HARDLY HUGE UNDERAGE SUCCESS. YOU STATE THAT BALLINDERRY HAVE A POOR RECENT UNDERAGE RECORD. DID THEY NOT WON AN U-16, MINOR AND AN ULSTER CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP IN 2008. YOU STATE YOU ARE AN OUTSIDER BUT YOU ARE FROM MAGHERA, WITH YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF DERRY UNDERAGE FOOTBALL IT IS OBVIOUS THAT YOU ARE FROM MAGHERA CO. DOWN.YOU TALK ABOUT US TALKING ABOUT UNDERAGE TITLES AROUND PUBS, HOWEVER IT IS QUITE EVIDENT THAT YOU ARE THE ONE WHO HAS STAYED TOO LONG IN THE PUB

I agree with your opinions apart from the last one. All teams should be picked on merit only. No one should get a place on any team because they are older and experienced or due to their youth & talent at underage. The best man for the team young or old !

Outsider, i think you should keep your thoughts to yourself, because personally i think your talking nonsense. Ok let me explain my reasoning. What backboned ballinderrys quest to win the all ireland in 02 was the conveyor belt of talent which included numerous county feiles, u16s an minor tiles. The loup team that won a senior ulster in 03 and again reached the ulster final this year was backboned by the ulster minor winning team that included mc bride and mc flynn. Bellaghy have always had a tradition of talented underage teams leading through to successful senior teams. Our near neighbours Slaughtneil won the county title and again that team was backboned by players from the 3 in a row minor titles and 1 ulster minor title. Glenullin are an exception probably due to the fact that they lack the numbers to compete in A competitions at underage. So we in glen imo are doing things right, working from the bottom up. We're far from the finished article and must constantly strive to better our underage structures. Another vital element we must adopt is that is in order to be a success at senior level we need a variety of ages spread across the team. This i feel is something that cant be ignored when the temptation to replace seniors with players who were talented minors arises. Rant over. Up the wattys!!!

I personally don't think the success of Glen's underage is that important. Fair enough it's great for the youngsters enjoying success. Considering you have had strong underage teams for many of year and a list of feile na nOg, u-14 and u-16 championships it has not really been reflected at senior level. Clubs like Bellaghy, Loup, Ballinderry and Glenullin aren't renowned for brilliant underage teams these days unlike Magherafelt and Glen but at the end of the day, who are the clubs that are within touching distance of the John McLaughlin cup at the end of the season? When you're 65 you can sit in pubs and talk about how many feile na nOg's and underage championships you have won, but there won't be many sitting about talking about the big prize.

The game on Sunday past was an u14 challenge match against Ballycastle. Just a reminder that training is at 10.30am on Sunday morning. Please pass on to any of the panel and remind them to be on the pitch for 10.15am. Resistration forms need to be completed for those who missed the registration in the club during the week. Deadline for completion is 31st Jan.

Our underage structure is not bad but anything can be improved. You cite Omagh as a model to be followed (and perhaps it is) but you exaggerate when you state that they have 4/5 on the county panel, they in fact have 3 (McElholm and the 2 McMahons) nonetheless there would be no harm in looking there. Another better example might be St Galls who have several county (Antrim) players and all developed from under 10 level. Perhaps the club are looking at this model?

Just read there that Omagh won the ulster minor championship yesterday. This proves that it can be done by teams from uban areas. They are definately a club we could learn alot from with their structuring (winning practiaclly everything in tyrone underage) and bringing through players to senior level (4/5 players on tyrone senior panel).
