Damien Gore

It all depends who turns up and who is fit and available.

Will Damien Gore be available for Carvery? We don't know.

He's had very little involvement for Kilmax in the last couple of games.

So it must be a question mark about him.

I think you've got two divisional derbies as well in the quarterfinals, if I remember rightly, in terms of the quarterfinal matchups.

Is it Drumtara from Boerboei? in one of them and Mitch Stoner against Botham against Mitch Stoner in the other one so Mitch Stoner in the final a couple of years ago a lot of talent obviously you've got Colin Manning up front and Sean Walsh I don't think Marquine is returning for them at the moment but you never know if they go a little bit further so they've got a lot of quality as well so yeah that's a championship now that you do well to pick a winner even at this stage

Exactly so and even the Premier Junior obviously Kilmackaby their championship came to an end as well obviously a narrow defeat to St. Nick's they were without Damien Gore for most of the campaign for most of the second game in their group against Canavie which they got a draw out of to be fair and then they lost the final game against St. Nick's apparently Robert Downey had a very good game in that game but for Kilmackaby to go out to the championship would you consider it a successful enough championship for Kilmackaby they were the only team to not qualify with a positive scoring difference so they competed quite well but it was just a bridge too far against the Knicks.

Yeah, look, I think in reality, and they probably said themselves, the only success really in the group stage is to qualify for the knockouts.

I think it was really impressive the last day in their last game.

They lost Damien Gore last.

very early in that game and Damien Gore has obviously been a key man for Kilmacabee in their rise out of the junior football ranks so they lost him to injury but they still got a result as in they still got a result that day so it's just hopefully we'll see Gore back in action this Friday night for Kilmacabee because if they get through the knockout stages in their first year of Premier Junior I think that's a super result it really is a super result you talk about momentum and can we have that we've seen it in the county leagues these last couple of years with their promotions in the county league is there they're making their way up the grades there but they've come out of the junior A grade at last they're knocking at the door for almost a decade so if they can just continue that on and get to knockout stages I think that'll be a really really successful first year up

It definitely will for Donal Dunham and his team and let's see what happens on Friday evening when they face a tough enough St Nick's team we'll take a quick break now and after the break we'll be chatting to Fintan McCarthy
