Congratulations to Kevin McGourty who was part of the St. Gall's Beringer Cup winning team. Reports that he took his father's place on said team may have a bit of truth in them.

The world would be a much better and safer place if Naomh Eargnaid were relegated to Div. 2.

A good result last night alrite for rasharkin.
Wasnt good for the owl ticker near the end, rasharkin showed how much they wanted back in div1 again after having a good lead in the first half, when moneyglass didnt score for the first 20 minutes with the score 1-07 to 0-0.
then they let their gaurd slip and went in at ht 1-07 to 2-01, after a few dubious refereeing decisions.
in the second half rasharkin kept that 2/3 lead the whole way through til moneyglass brought it back to a single point with 5 mins to go. then paul doherty came forward to score a great point for rasharkin to settle their nerves and j mcaleese settled the game with a difficult free.
ft score 1-14 to 3-05

was a fairly clean game throughout apart from a scuffle at ht.
the scuffle incidently didnt involved anyone from rasharkin or moneyglass.
one of the nuetral umpires think it was duffy from st galls and big roly poly mcpoland from eire og were trying a few wwf moves on eachother. mr duffy didnt make it out for the second half.

Enda quinn walked away from the rasharkin job after the last div 2 game against glenravel citing work commitments for his reason of leaving. dont know his real reasons but think he helped to motivate rasharkin last night by not being there.
any team in armagh are welcome to him, hes abit inexperienced and naive!

tell me more on the mcpoland fight? he can be a ###### mcpoland

tell me more on the mcpoland fight? he can be a ###### mcpoland

duffy was umpiring and at ht went for a smoke at the back of the stand
when he tried to get in again, i think you have to buzz someone to let you in
and mcpoland, who was doing steward, being his usual self ignored him, then when duffy got in after standing there for a couple of minutes, with everyone waiting on him to restart the match, he exchanged words with roly poly,
and handbags ensued!

[milltown row]

yeah they were prob laughing at him (Duffy) from behind the dark glass.

McPoland has been involved in some altercations at Casement. he once hit a defenseless Armagh man who had stumbled on to the running track when Antrim played Armagh in the Championship.

Following a request by the family of the late Emon Coleman, a special day of celebration to mark the life of the man himself is currently been organised for Saturday 7th June 2008, the first anniverasry of his death. On the day there will be a game between Derrys 93 All Ireland winning team and an Irish select of past and present players who played for and against Eamon.

Later in the evening an Informal Dinner will take place in a specialised marquee on the premises of St Treas Ballymaguigan Co Derry, which of course was Eamons home club. Cost of this event is £1000 per table, but in the event that you may not wish to avail of a table a donation of any kind would be very much appreciated.

The charities being supported which were close to Eamon are: Marie Curie Cancer, GOAL, Adoption UK, SMA and Foyle Hospice.

To book a table or make a voluntary contribution you can contact myself on 07875 400 839 or email me on: ronan@moltools.co.uk, or contact Jim Crozier on 07841100141 or email: jimgcrozier@msn.com. Jims address is 246 Shore Road, Magherafelt, Co Derry, BT45 6LH.

Any contributions via cheque can be made out to "Eamon Coleman Memorial Fund"

Many thanks.

I see recent Beringer Cup winner and current Antrim panellist Kevin McGourty now has a column in the Gaelic Life. I wonder who his ghost writer is?

I thought his references to aboriginals was a tad racist. Anyone else agree?
