Fixtures pressure has prevented us from attending many of this year’s U21 Football Championship games and at the weekend we were in Dungannon covering the Ulster Club championship.

We did get to the Ardoyne v Glenavy U21B quarter-final at the Cricky on Sunday morning and Brian McKee’s report and pics are already up on the site but this weekend the championship gets down to the business end and we hope to bring you reports and pics from as many games as possible.

In the U21A Championship Clann Eireann, Cargin travelled to Aghagallon and came away with a good win while St. Paul’s also won on the road with an impressive victory in Moneyglass.

Cargin’s neighbours, Kickham’s Creggan have also been going well and after defeating Dunloy under the lights on the Staffordstown Road, they recorded a narrow win over St. Gall’s in the quarter-final with a late award of a breach swinging it their way late in the game.

The fourth semi-finalist from the ‘A’ group will come from the winners of Con Magee’s, Glenravel and St. Brigid’s whose game was postponed because of the Belfast side’s involvement in the Ulster Club championship on Sunday.

In the U21B Championship Glenavy’s win over Ardoyne and St. James’ victory over St. Mary’s Rasharkin sets up a local derby between St. Joseph’s and the Crumlin side while Portglenone’s win over Lamh Dhearg and Rossa’s victory over Tir nan Og sees the Casement’s and Jerimiah’s meet in the other semi-final.
