[Babe Ruth 47]

St Pats won the Ranafast this evening, beating Omagh by 6 points. 4-10 to 2-10 . Great game of football, they were down by 5, half way through the second half. A great goal with 10 minutes to go by, I think, Ben Conaty turned the game. Some wonderful examples of long range point taking and fielding.

Now that makes my day.  I hope that we (Denn) don't expect Ben Conaty to be our saviour for the next 20 years.

If you go to ulster colleges thread on the gaa discussion section there are some videos. Some great scores. Well done St Pats.

Finbar O Reilly, Andy McGovern and Gerry Gunn

[boojangles]

Superb stuff. Great to see St Pats back as a force to be reckoned with. Delighted for Finbar and Andy who have done great work with the lads but also Gerry Gunn. He came into the school during my time and was always an absolute gentleman and has a great way with young lads. And who could forget Fr. Kevin from Mullahoran. I'm still laughing at that run across the field. Brilliant.

Bears repeated viewing.  Interview with Fr. Kevin.

Pardon my ignorance but do Pats have a team in the McRory?

[rodney trotter]

They play in the B competition which is called the Mclarnon Cup. They are more competitive in the Mlarnon cup and are in the quarter final's. They have been playing mclarnon the last few years, couldn't compete at McRory level. Hence why they played in  the Leinster league and championship for a few years 04/06.

Just announced

Fair play to them, Killian Brady was very solid in the Senior Championship. McCutheon was class for Cootehill, especially the drawn game against Lacken, Best individual display I saw this year from any player. I only saw Paddy Rudden once this year and that was in the Final, he looked decent, good from the free's. Only 21 like Killian Brady.

Now we need to identify and harness what ever is in the air that is improving football in Cavan.

Ballyhaise Agricultural College now in a final.

Ag. Colleges semi-final: Ballyhaise into final
23 November 2012

Ballyhaise 0-14
Pallaskenary 1-5

Following a close fought first half when Pallaskenary led 1-3 to 0-5, Ballyhaise Agricultural College, managed by Moynalvey man Willie Byrne, put in a strong second half display to win out by six points in this All-Ireland Agricultural Colleges semi-final at the well appointed Walsh Island GAA Pitch in Co Offaly.

Barry Reilly was a constant threat and with a good supply of ball from the Monaghan pairing of Craig Lanauze and Darren Hughes at midfield Pallaskenary had no answer to the Ballyhaise team who are looking for a two in a row of titles having won in 2011.

Craig Lanuaze is from Lacken Cavan. Darren Hughes was playing Sigerson with UUJ the last few years, bit of a culture shock for him to playing with Ballyhaise Ag now. Serious footballer.
