Hard luck to Tir Chonaill gaels after losing to Corofin today. Was it an easy enough victory for the Galway men?

Yes, pretty one sided affair.
Seemed to be a lot of Galway support over.

Well done to all at Mitchels especially to Savage from the Mitchels Hurlers in Birmingham.Lets hope we can make it a Mitchel's double next Saturday in Ballinasloe

Yeah would like to echo that PP, good luck to the Mitchells hurlers on Saturday, hope they can build on what was achieved last year.
If they win who would be the next opponents and would it be a home tie ?

I think most of "bullshit corner" are going so the craic should be good.

Looking forward to it.

It will be lonely in the corner this weekend

Sadly it wasnt to be. In Ballinasloe i never seen a worse day for a game. The wind and rain was desperate, you would have felt sorry for the players stood out in it. Kudos to the ref for running out in a feckin t shirt the mad bastard. Anyway to the match.
Mitchells started brightly enough and got a goal about 5 mins into the game, this put them into a 2 point lead after Skehana had pointed earlier. The wind was swirling around and it was difficult to identify who had the advantage at times. The HT score was 1-3 to 1-1 - typical for the conditions. In the second half Skehana started to tack on the points from play as Mitchells tired.
They took some nice scores and at one point i think the score was 2-10 to 1-2, Mitchells got a goal very late on to make it 2-10 to 2-2. Disappointing for the lads im sure. Im not sure about the tactic of trying to play ground hurling on a pitch that was like a bog. Would like to say thanks to the Mitchells management for doing a superb job organising the hotel coaches etc, apart from the result it was a great weekend.
The corner was busy enough last night.

Great Win for the mitchells

hopefully get to croker now to see them win it out!

BennyHarp · January 26, 2009, 08:23:13 AM

Great result for Mitchells yesterday! Will be fantastic to see a British club take to Croke Park next month - well done to all involved!!

Well done Mitchel's indeed. I see there are some on the HS who can't seem to give them any credit.

Yeah I was reading some of the stuff over there earlier. I can't see what some peoples problem is. Any team from Britain doing well in the All-Ireland can be nothing but good for the promotion of games over here. Granted Liverpool needs to produce a few underage teams, but i'm sure that'll come in time. Remember it was only a few years ago that there was no team at all in Liverpool. Small steps and all that.

In London meself and hoping to see the Tyrone Dublin match tonight. Might call around. Waxy O'Connors and o'Neills in Leicester Square have RTE but I don't know about Setatnta Ireland. MIght be worth ringing them or somewhere like the Kingdom or The Crown in Cricklewood

JUst checked and Waxys is showing soccer http://www.waxyoconnors.co.uk/london/whatson.asp

Hard to find a big bar on saturday night with it on I guess

Marquis of Granby in New Cross says they might have it on but the guy didnt sound too convincing!

Its on Setanta Sports 2 at 22.00 so that may be the best bet. Though by that time on a Saturday night I might not be as interested!

Rav67 · February 04, 2009, 09:07:56 PM

British university Championships on this weekend I believe. Infrequent poster SuperHans is managing Northumbria who apparently have quite a strong side this year. Must get a run up to Birmingham on Sat and take in a few games and a rip.

Any posters playing for any of the competing teams?

Plastic Paddy · February 05, 2009, 12:10:13 AM

Uni Champs must be in doubt this weekend . The forecast is bad. Heavy snow forecast tonight on top of whats lying at the minute. Would be a shame if this weekend was lost as its a great tournament. But i would say it looks 75/25 a no go.
