Congrats OakLeaflad, tight game, only beat me by 2, great comeback from you. Last night killed me, AJ going off injured and scoring zero and my kicker only scoring 2, not good. I won't lie, its a tough beat!!

But a great year all round, looking forward to the B Division next year!!!

Not over yet Oakleaflad, big game from Manning and Sanders and who knows. Stranger things have happened ( I hope they don't but  )!!

On a positive note I was without a DB this week and put Meriweather of the redskins in on Monday morning, rocks up with 27 points to get me the win 

Great stuff AZ, sorry for the heavy beating 

[Rice League]

Much more important though, are our fixtures.

Rice League
Faithful Turfmen C v FermanaghandSam

A tough opener, a first timer taking on the main man himself, hopefully there is an upset on the cards!!!

Was there room for me AZoffaly?

Cheers AZOffaly, I emailed you just about 10 mins ago there.

Enjoy your weekend!!

I am a bit late to the party here, but is there any room for one more?

50 clubs in Fermanagh for a "GAA minded" population of c 30,000.
32 clubs in Ros for over 60,000.

There are about 20 (with some struggling for numbers to field) football clubs in Fermanagh, 3 Hurling I believe and no Camogie clubs left.

We can only wish we had 50 clubs to pick from, imagine the top side we would be then 

I would cut our losses and get rid.

He has had enough chances and always blown it. If Pete takes him back he will let him down when it really matters like he did before the Championship in 2012 against Down.

Build a team without him is the way to go, he will never learn.

Hopefully going to make a major signing according to Brendan

Don't know much about Yevhen Konoplyanka but.

If all else fails,Fermanagh GAA can sell a bit of land to Jim Allister

He can have the Fermanagh Training grounds if he wants, they are rarely used, and any offer probably accepted. But it is on top of a mountain, hard to get too and always wet and windy. Worst investment ever by Fermanagh county board.

Gaelic life are saying that Gearoid Adams is interested.
What has he done to warrant a mention?

You haven't heard of the success he has had at club level in Antrim?

He got St. Johns a brand new black jersey, breaking from their traditional blue & white. He also instigated the delivery of brand new half-zip training tops for members of their squad.

He has done a fantastic job with the Whiterock men and would be a great catch for any county whose gear is looking a bit shabby.

Fermanagh won't have enough money for new gear, so Adams won't be considered.

The last time Fermanagh cut corners there they went from O'Rourke to O'Neill.

And that is the biggest fear, it will no doubt be the same men picking the manager as back then as well, because the county board hasn't changed in god knows how long.

Finance is an issue as I assume it is with alot of county boards, but its the lack of young blood in the county board that is the real issue. Fermanagh County boards idea of fun raising is a draw or a club levy, they need to think outside the box if they want peoples hard earned money. Thankfully the players had the boxing this year which was different and raised alot of money I believe. The Kinawley club seem to be great at this and always have something new and exciting to raise money.

As said previously the youth setup is basically not there at all, the new development officer is a huge appointment that has to be made.
