Cremartin are out on the pitch nice and early.  Conditions absolutely perfect under a clear blue sky as Derrytresk take to the field.

Huge day ahead for the men from ‘the Hill’.  Ask any Derrytresk man or woman if they thought they’d be county champions and in an Ulster Junior Football Championship final back in January and they’d probably say that was dreamland.  The dream is well and truly alive and Derrytresk are only an hour away from another amazing chapter in their long history.  We at Teamtalkmag.com have been with them all the way and we’ll be LIVE from the Morgan Athletic Grounds in Armagh to bring you right up to date.  Join us from 1.15pm ahead of the throw in at 1.30pm.
