GAA in Britain

Seems as though John Mitchel's are back in full swing after their latest victory in the Pennine League. Lawrence's beat Cuchullains too.

Yeah looks like John Mitchel's have overcome their hangover from last season. No doubt their aim is for another crack at the All-Ireland junior. They had 48 players out training a few weeks ago which is crazy stuff. Bit surprised at Cuchullains being beaten, but Division 1 is very competitive this season. The St. Peter's game against Hugh O'Neill's has been rearranged for this coming Tuesday night in Leeds.

looking like it's gonna come down to oisins and mitchells again

I'd reckon so - Oisins look very strong this year - they seem to have some very accurate forwards and it will be an interesting game v mitchells later in the championship! Still think Mitchells will be too strong come that time of year!

Must say I am very impressed with the football in Lancashire. Oisins seem to be just a kick of a ball away from Mitchel's, yet Mitchel's seem so far away from everyone in Britain.I know in Warwickshire football seems to be in decline can't understand it

Dont know.The County side is going well and Mitchel's have done well in the Club Championship but the club scene is still weak with only 4 sides and one of them from Manchester

Warwickshire' Leinster Junior Hurling League match today is at 3pm not 5pm as advertised. Best of luck to the lads, preperation for this season has been top class.

Warwickshire 5-18 Leitrim 1-11

Warwickshire superb in the 1st half.Some serious hurlers all over the pitch especially in the forwards

Warwickshire beat Wicklow 3 11 to 2 11 in the Leinster Shield to progress to the final this Saturday in Dundalk v Louth.Big strides been made lets hope it continues

Pennine League down for decision this weekend - Div. 1 final - Oisins v John Mitchel's, Div. 2 final - St. Brendan's v St. Peter's, Shield Final - Hugh O'Neill's v St. Benedicts Harps.

Shame both games are the same time in Manchester, would have made more sense to have both games at the same venue and attracted a bit of a crowd.

Fully expect both games to be very close.

[carnaross]

Didn't twig that before my earlier post - seems rather short-sighted, two games at the same venue would attract more spectators than the current idea - also easier for the county board "collectors" and their flat caps!!

That does seem a bit strange alright, we never seem to take the opportunities to market our games properly over here! Make a day of it - advertise it correctly, perhaps throw in a bbq or something and if its a decent day like last weekend then a biggish crowd could be attracted - should be two good games, would fancy Mitchells and Brendans though!

Should be two great games in Division 1 and Division 2. Totally agree that there would have been more sense in fixing both games for the same venue. Hard to call both finals. John Mitchel's definitely look a bit more beatable at the moment, and there was nothing between Peter's and Brendan's earlier in the season. Watched a bit of the Brendan's game yesterday. They took some great scores, but the searing heat made it difficult for both sides.

Warwickshire lost by 9 points v Louth after leading by 6 at half time with a strong wind.A poor second half by Warks and even poorer by the ref.

[Brendans abu]

St Brendan's 2-7 St Peter's 1-7

Was a good game given the conditions, was nothing in it until we went 4 points clear with about 5 minutes to go. A lot of very good work by both defenses given it was 13 a side!

Believe Oisins missed a late penalty which would have taken it to extra time, Mitchells were apparently at full strength while Oisins were missing a few.

Very suprised to see O'Neils beat Benedicts.
