Cill Dara v Tír Eoghain, D1R314, Newbridge, Sunday 2nd March @ 2pm.

[Fear ón Srath Bán]

Looking forward to this one, with Kildare on our heels after suffering that narrow defeat to Cork, plus home-advantage; a stiff enough test, to be sure.

We could expect Seán Cav to be starting this one, and St Conleth's hasn't been the most unrewarding of hunting-grounds for us in recent years. 

[Redhand Santa]

Tyrone had a couple of good wins down there last year but it is a tough enough place to go. A win and could definitely start thinking of the semi. I'd expect another 3 or 4 changes with cavanagh coming back in. Would be good to get the mcmahons back in the panel sooner rather than later. If justy is going to be involved this year he needs plenty of game time in the league.

[Donnellys Hollow]

Kildare will improve under the new manager.

I can see us losing to Tyrone just the twice this year.

I would hope to make this match and I haven't been to Newbridge since Canavan & Cush won their first U21 title under Danny Ball. It was all over at half time and little did we realise that it was start a new era of dominance over Kerry.

Sorry D Hollow I'll leave you alone now

I was at that game as an 18 year old, myself a mate and Nuxer Buckley were caught by Seamus Aldridge hopping over the wall on the barracks side. He let me and my mate go but made Nuxer go around and pay as he should know better.

Awesome football from Tyrone that day. Ye had some support as well.

[Rossfan]

No wonder Buckley fecked off and left ye.

Ha! He wasn't the first footballer Seamus ran out of the country!!!

[Fuzzman]

Ah the memories.
As a young cub I remember thinking how good will this young Canavan chap be or is it all just hype. Cush and McCafferty looked just as good to me.


I see Brolly in today's Gaelic life is trying his hardest to praise Harte and Tyrone hoping that Mickey will stick with the attack minded football and NOT return to the defensive, negative football. It's quite a funny article actually and he even has a pop at the Dubs and how they abandoned their morals to win the AI last year by dragging men down left right and centre

I just hope that RoN gets a bit more of the limelight that young McCurry has been getting lately. I think these two lads along with Mattie D and McAliskey can be the new kids on the block for the next number of years

4:12 from that half forward line that day, 2:05, 0:05 and 2:02.

Found this article there from 1992. Interesting from my perspective as I was only 6 when it was written. A real pity that most of these lads never got to taste AI senior success.

Did McCaffrey play soccer for Omagh Town? Himself and Eamon Kavanagh?

It's hard to find anything online about that first U21 win in New bridge.

[ONeill]

We've played Kildare some times over the last 5-6 years.

[Fuzzman]

I see in the Gaelic Life Mickey Harte reckons Newbridge is now nearly our home pitch as we've played there so much. Twice last year and maybe we'll get a spin out there again later in the summer when we lose to Down in the first prem round

With a few of the older heads back now it will be interesting to see who Mickey picks for this game.
I would imagine Niall McKenna, Grugan, Shay McGuigan, Kane and Hughes might all struggle to hold their place or even stay in the squad but then again maybe he'll continue to rotate things.
When is the new squad announced?

Good to see Coney get back into the scoring charts.
I've asked before but what do you all make of McNeice?
I've not really seen enough of the young lad but he looks big and strong but he often doesn't deliver though I see he scored 3 points on Wed night from corner forward.

Grugan, McKenna and McGuigan will make the squad, with two of them pushing for starting places this year.

Why wouldn't ye spend money on it? Mean bastards.
