Take comfort in that we too have been rogered by Dessie Barry in county finals.

Auld Shore has been asked by Swampies on County Board to come out of retirement to ref county final. They must reckon he will do a fair job reffing the Comcille lads.

Either that or Rocky Tierney.

Which would you prefer?

Auld Shore has been asked by Swampies on County Board to come out of retirement to ref county final.

That would make sense, from their perspective.     I hope they're concentrating on the final next sunday evening.

Jes lads the world seemed a better place this morning. Birds singing, sun shining and Colmcille in the county final for the second time in 49 years!!!
Then the hangover set in!!!!
Anyway happy enough yesterday with everybody doing there bit. Looking forward to the next month. Can't remember anything about the build up in '94 but its great to be there again.

Just the small matter of winning it now. Otherwise it won't be worth a fiddlers.

sun shining

I thought you lived in Cornadrung.   

[North Longford]

I know Billy. Maybe it was just shining in my head!!

[Billys Boots]

NL, just keep telling them that the Swampies are saying they let them win.

It would just be too funny if the Connollys won on Sunday, wouldn't it? But we can hope...

[Billys Boots]

Hopefully McGeeney will sicken them enough to make that eventuality a reality.  I'd be afraid that we'd be so busy laughing in Colmcille that the focus would be taken off Sunday 30th - so I'm voting for the Swampies on Sunday.  Now there's a first.

Quite simply it won't be allowed to happen.

I wonder will Geezer be there to rule over his charges? (a more than adequate description)

Whatever else may happen Billy, be it the Connolly's, Dromard or Moydow second team we're playing that isn't going to happen

[Billys Boots]

That's what I wanted to hear NL, fair play.   

[Shamrock Shore]

Moydow second team

Now that just doesn't bear thinking about 

[Shamrock Shore]

Anyone fancy the Connollys agin Dromard?

I fancy a shock - I think it's the Connolly's year.

I fancy a shock - I think it's the Connolly's year.

it would be great to see connolys v. colmcille with a new name guaranteed on the cup but i reckon at this stage that dromard will brush aside the bal boys and then avenge the first round defeat to colmcille (who were devastating against slashers i must say) there is just something about dromard when it comes to the crunch - hard hoors to beat, even their worst footballer will play out of his skin when needs be

Connolly's 0-1 Dromard 0-1, not sure how long is gone, but very low-scoring.
