Christ I m still gettin over those two girls earlier. Easy on the eye the pair of them. Gorgeous and great crack. God I d be still playin if Glenda was my manager. Any young fella that would nt burst his balls for either of them out there on the field should nt be handed a jersey again! I need to lie down now.

What annoys me is that RTE' s Sunday night programme usually concentrates on games already shown on Setanta orTG4. I know not everybody has Setanta but I have and I got it primarily for these Saturday night league matches - which RTE deal with anyway. Having club commitments today I could nt be in Newbridge  today and all tv had to offer me later was mostly a match I watched live last night and the Galway/Derry game I had recorded anyway. Surely between all the tv channels there s enough resources to cover the top two divisions at least and show ten minutes highlights of each.

Heard Peadar Gardiner got a bad belt  - head clash - yesterday. May be a doubt for Kildare match.
Chris Barrett had a very good match v Leitrim as did Cunniffe. Barrett an option for Kildare. With James Burke also performing well the halfback line is the best part of the U21 team. Midfield also strong but the forwards and the fullback line would not inspire optimism based on Sat. Campbell is not playing his best yet either. Anybody know why Conroy not on U21 team? Can anybody confirm whether he s U21 or not?
Colm Boyle could be tried at corner back I think. He s not tall but he s a very good footballer. I would like to see management try the following line up for Sunday.
Clarke
Cuniffe
Conroy [ interesting to see how he copes against a different system]
Boyle/Heaney
Heaney/Barrett
Howley
Higgins
Mcgarrity
Parsons
Gill/Harte
Dillon
Trevor
Conor
Austy
Moran
