Talk:Dr Lagan Cup

Expanding the article
I managed to put together the basic article together. Anyone know anything about the background, who is dr lagan, why did it end, interesting facts etc! Múinteoir 14:56 02 August 2007
 * Doin't know much abou tit to be honest. But I see here that the Official Donegal website claim Donegal have won it six times, but maybe that's it was technically a differenet competition then. Where did you get the info at? Derry Boi 15:09, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

I got the information from, seems a very reliable source, Donegal claim they won in 1936 and 1937, as far as I can tell, the Donegal site may be correct, the Down site claims Down won it in 1940? Maybe it would be worth adding those dates into it? Anyway this site says 'The Dr. Lagan Cup was an Ulster competition like the Gael Linn Cup in Connacht. It was discontinued after 1967.'

 * Anyone out there with a reliable history of Ulster football? Seems a lot of sources regarding this article appear to be inconsistent, there must be somewhere with a accurate list, foundation year etc?

 * I got an email from the Ulster council and they say that these are the official winners:

Dr Lagan Cup Winners: Derry (6) - 1945, 1947, 1950, 1953, 1959, 1961 Down (5) - 1949, 1960, 1962, 1963, 1964 Donegal (4) - 1952, 1965, 1966, 1967, Antrim (3) 1944, 1946, 1948 Tyrone (3) - 1943, 1957, 1958 Armagh (3) - 1954, 155, 1956 Monaghan (1) - 1951

The stuff written on the Donegal website etc is inaccurate. The guy in the email said the list of winners is on permanent display there and the list above is the one given. Múinteoir 16:17 08 August 2007

 * Aye,could be a cracker. Just got my ticket this evening. Adh mór. Doire abú!! Derry Boi 17:04, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

As far as I can see, in the sixties and for much of the fifties it was the Ulster section (Division One) of the National Football League, the winner of the Division was the winner of the Cup, and then proceeded to the League semi-finals. In the sixties there were eight of the Ulster teams in it - Cavan were the exception and played in Division Two (that being by name rather than grade) along with Mayo, Sligo, Leitrim, Meath, Longford and Westmeath. It would appear to explain why Cavan never won it given their strength at that time. BlackWhite77 (talk) 13:56, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
