Best of luck to John Mitchells of Liverpool in the All-ireland junior championship at the weekend! A win would be a great boost to football in the north of England!

I'm told John mitchel's won by two points today, 1-09 to 1-07. Congratulations to them.

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.

Are there many non-Irish lads playing with the Mitchells?

Plastic Paddy · January 13, 2009, 05:22:45 PM

The winners of Saturdays match will play the Kilkenny champions in Nenagh the following Sunday. Mitchel's would have about 7 or 8 Irish descent lads on the panel with maybe 5 or 6 in starting 15.

Paddy Power not giving TCG must chance on sunday - already taking bets on the Kilmacud V Corofin tie!

Would be great if they could pull it off and make it a football double! All the best lads!!

carnaross · January 13, 2009, 07:35:11 PM

Hear hear! It would be a great boost to football in Britain if they could match the Mitchel's (brothers).

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