Ulster Minor Club Championship

[drici]

Preliminary Round:
Armagh Harps v Killann Gaels(Cavan)  Sunday November 29th (1200)


Not the same place.

What´s the news? What´s the news? O my bold Shelmalier,
With your long-barrelled gun, of the sea?
Say, what wind from the sun blows his messenger here
With a hymn of the dawn for the free?
"Goodly news, goodly news, do I bring, youth of Forth,
Goodly news do I bring, Bargy man!
For the boys march at dawn from the south to the north
Led by Kelly, the boy from Killanne!"

Tell me who is the giant with the gold curling hair,
He who rides at the head of the band?
Seven feet is his height, with some inches to spare
And he looks like a king in command!
"Oh, me boys, that´s the pride of the bold Shelmaliers,
"Mongst our greatest of heroes, a man!
Fling your beavers aloft and give three rousing cheers,
for John Kelly, the boy from Killanne!"

Enniscorthy´s in flames, and old Wexford is won,
And the Barrow tomorrow we cross.
On a hill o´er the town we have planted a gun
That will batter the gateways to Ross!
All the Forth men and Bargy men march over the heath
With brave Harvey to lead on the van;
But the foremost of all in that grim gap of death
Will be Kelly, the boy from Killanne!

But the gold sun of freedom grew darkened at Ross
And it set by the Slaney´s red waves;
And poor Wexford, stript naked, hung high on a cross
With her heart pierced by traitors and slaves!
Glory O! Glory O! to her brave sons who died
For the cause of long-down-trodden man!
Glory O! to mount Leinster´s own darling and pride:
Dauntless Kelly, the boy from Killanne!

that's a rouser indeed Drici, not the same place as right. Killann Gaels are an amalgamation side Bailieborough Shamrocks and Shercock from the parish of Killann. Hard to know how they will perform, several years since they won a minor title and were outsiders but convincing enough winners in Cavan County Final

saw them in the 1st round of the championship and they were woeful.st.joes only scored 2 from play that was a point and a goal and killan got a goal in the last few seconds to win by 2 or 3.didnt see the ballyhaise game but id imagine they improved alot for it.

Having spoke to a number of tyrone folk put your money on Omagh, big strong football team. Scotstown look like the next best. After that dont rule out Kilcoo who won the feile with this group of lads.

[bennydorano]

Yeah, you should maybe try and get a group bet on the paris-mutual wanderer

lads, dont be counting out the antrim champions creggan kickhams! i have seen them play before this year, they are a big strong side and play a great brand of football! i heard they are undefeated this season and will have learned from their experience in last years competition against scotstown where they lost their composure in the second half after having a good half time lead. many of those lads playing are still minor this year!

[drici]

And the Barrow tomorrow we cross.

Was talking to a fella on Sunday who was saying that the pike are not as big in the Barrow now since the Sugar Factory in Carlow closed down.

Well done, put the Creggan match on the same day as the biggest day in Antrim club football for years. Incredibly short-sighted.

The Creggan and Scotstown match was fixed long before St. Galls reached the Ulster Final, and the fact that one of the St. Galls matches was postponed due to the bad weather didn't help either. Its unfortunate but nothing can be done!
