Our seniors were beaten by 4 by Harps out in Gurteen on Friday. Didn't make it myself but heard that Harps are going well and it took us a fair while to adjust to the pace they were operating at. Our second half was apparently encouraging but a lot of work to do. Elsewhere in Div 1 Curry have at last showed signs of life with a comprehensive beating of Ballymote. Tourlestrane are top after a narrow win over Tubber and Easkey's woes continued when they were beaten by Bunninadden. Easkey look doomed but everything else is still to play for. Harps should beat Easkey tomorrow night in the only back game and go top.

In Div 4 we scored a good win over our nearest and dearest neighbours. Struggled to get a team out but the lads that eventually arrived played some nice football in the end and despite a late rally from the visitors we held on to win by 2. Coolaney/Mull continued their winning run but have been getting it tight of late. Ballisodare got their first win of the season too - how many get relegated out of Div 4? I think its one so they may survive again.

Division 2 saw a good week for Calry ended with a draw against Mary's. Geevagh continue to blaze a trail and Castleconnor stayed in the promotion race with a win over a struggling Harps second team while Farnans gave themselves a much needed boost with a narrow win over Shamrock Gaels.

John's 100% record in Div 3 continued with a big win over Owenmore Gaels. St. Molaise scored a narrow win over an improving St Pats to keep their promotion charge going and another improving west division side, Enniscrone, had a 4 point win over St Michaels.

So things are beginning to hot up with less that 3 weeks to championship. Looking forward to it.

Job done and delighted for Giggs to cap it off like that on his record equalling appearance. A legend. Most goals scored. Least conceded. Best team. Now for Moscow.

Man City would make you laugh. Heading the fair play table so would have qualified for Uefa Cup if they got no bookings. Dunne sent off and a great job done by the players in convincing Shinawatra to do re: Eriksson. Muppets!

Disappointed for Reading. I'd say Roy might be raiding them in the summer.

Cork v. Clare '93 on now. Some fairly chunky lads on the Cork team!

I'm glad its back.

There was more in the article than that and he was ill advised to say some of it to put it mildly.

Think Cassells was captain in '88 and Mick Lyons in '87. Meath folk - can you help us out?

Are you sure? Meath won in '88 as well.

Sam Óg - 1988?

I see that was a replay in '72. Kerry's record is amazing. Bar one or two others they didn't lose those 18 finals by much.

A good effort Hardy.

As for the draws only remember the ones in my own lifetime and that sinking feeling at the end. I'm going to have to lie, beg, scrape and lie again for another week to try and turn up a ticket!

You need more than 11 to challenge for more than the cup competitions Minder.

10%. I think it was the shaving the head thing.

In todays market and when you see what Spurs paid for Bent then I suppose Liverpool are entitled to try and get £15M for Crouch. I think he'll get goals for anyone in the Premiership and wouldn't be surprised if Liverpool get that money for him. What I do think though is that its rich of Benitez to ask that money for someone he clearly doesn't rate.

Can't see Henry back at the Emirates. Too old for Wenger.

As for United - I listenened to Graham Hunter on Newstalk a while back and he sees it panning out like this:  They will break the bank for Danny Alves (to a point). With Gary Neviller near the end of his days a first choice right back is needed and he's probably the best in the world at present. Berbatov will also be a target, posibly with Saha going the other way. I think those two would be good.

Henry is not wanted at Barca and could be picked up for a relatively modest fee (if you get someone stupid enough to pay £15m for Crouch you'd hardly have to add mcuh to it to afford Henry). It would be a gamble as he's a bit of a moany bollix and needs to have his ego massaged but his directness could suit Liverpool and the Premiership.

Would not think so. The management/executive committee would make that decision.
