If you are in Dublin, go.

In a tense finale, Swanlinbar held on to book a final meeting with St Mary's (Kerry) at Croke Park on Saturday week.

Ah Jeez.. to say it was a battle would be to say the first world war was a storm in a teacup. Ballianbrackey employed a blanket defense so on a narrow pitch there wasn't enough room to change your mind. They got off to a flyer with the first 2 points until Gearoid got through the wall for one in reply. Mark C got another from a tight angle. Robbie got a third from a free then they equalized to leave it 3 a piece at the the break. Every inch forward was warfare. It reminded me of rugby tactics - pick and drive, pick and drive.
I thought it would get loose in the 2nd half but no, if anything it was even more ferocious. They were very fit and tackled in packs but to be fair our back were just as tenacious though they went one up early in the 2nd half. With chances at a premium it was down to who could be cool under pressure. Step forward Robbie Prior - one from play and one from a free. They had chances to level it but was I cheering when their last free went wide in the 3rd minute of injury time.
So a day out in Croke Park beckons - every gaels dream, and sure who knows, our wildest dreams have already come true.

Sticking with more or less the same as played in mckenna cup.#

Has Anton O'Reilly played league football before?

rodney trotter · February 04, 2011, 01:09:43 PM

Anton Reilly started the 3 games in the mckenna and was taken off in all 3

he is a good player but if he wasnt playing well in the mckenna cup why is he starting sunday... thought pierson would have been starting, i would probaly agree with the rest of the team as their is players injured like sheridan,mc cutheon who would be playing if available.

Dirty outfit but an up and coming team in Cavan.

Has McGuigan from Belturbet disappeared from the scene or is he injured. He was far from the worst of them last year and had a bit of physical presence which we don't tend to have a lot of. Probably the only players Tommy Carr could be accused of bringing on board were himself and Nesty

rodney trotter · February 04, 2011, 03:32:06 PM

Yeah mcguigan was decent last year,dunno is he injured or not involved.. More than likely he is injured he would hardly have been dropped on last years form as he was pretty solid for the whole year.
