All Ireland Junior Football Championship

Ros beat Kerry in the All Ireland Semi Final tonight by 0-6 to 0-5 in Ennis.
We held KERRY SCORELESS for the first half and the first 10 minutes of the second.
A sterling defensive effort by our lads kept the Kingdom forwards under pressure as they hit something like 14 wides. Mind you we had 12 or 13 wides.
On to the Final where I presume we meet Dublin who were playing Gloucestershire

today in Cardiff

in the other Semi.

Would be too strong. This competition is for the weaker provinces.

rubbish competition

INDIANA · July 13, 2008, 11:09:25 AM

rubbish competition? how many all-ireland medals do you have? None i bet. so in a few weeks one set of 30 players will have something you'll never have.
Good post.

you should never assume. hope your post gave you a rosy glow inside now that you have righted another wrong. fool

INDIANA · July 13, 2008, 12:40:06 PM

there is only one fool here and its you. what gives you the right to belittle others achievements. ask the dublin and roscommon players 10 mins before the throw in on the 26th what's a rubbish competition. Hope your post gave you a rosy glow.
Gobshite.

Also ask the lads from Gloucestershire whether they would have taken any pleasure from their opportunity to play the Dublin juniors, never mind an All-Ireland final, or any of the defeated British counties! Apart from London seniors, it's the only chance for British counties to get involved in such a competition. And we all know how well the London seniors do - oh they beat that well-known Gaelic football stronghold Kilkenny yesterday. Whao!!!

Final Ros v Dublin Portlaoise - Saturday next at 5 pm.

COME ON ROS

bingobus · July 21, 2008, 04:01:41 PM

What the guidelines/rules for this competition i.e only players from Junior clubs, players not on senior panel or players never played senior intercounty??? Just curious like.

Rossfan · July 21, 2008, 04:06:05 PM

Depends on the County.
Small Counties like us Leitrim etc can play anybody who didnt play Senior Championship this year or last year while big Counties ,Mayo,Meath,Dublin etc can only pick from Junior/Inter players . I presume the last year/this year rule also pertains for them.
