We have a new winner.

0-2 to 0-1...

I can totally understand the way Abbey were set up,  Maghera scored 6-32 in their two games before yesterday. Were abbey supposed to go man to man and get slaughtered?

This was an U15.5 colleges game not an All Ireland final. The coaches have a responsibility for player development as much as winning. There are plenty of past Abbey players on here who I'm sure are disgusted by this shite. People need to catch themselves on.

Very deflating situation for Armagh, especially as underdogs. :-\

They should still be thanking their lucky stars after the farce on Saturday.

St Pats Armagh v Omagh CBS abandoned at ht due to fog with Armagh leading 1.7 to 0.4, replay Friday night.

Full game replay or just 2nd half, whats the regulations?

New game. It shouldn't ever have started.

Link to an independent study carried out contained within the article. I appreciate that coursing isn't to everyone's taste but without it the Irish Hare would have a bleak future.

We've actually had this conversation before

The big rabbit gets fucked.

If you're ok with the coursing you're ok with the fox hunt.

The big rabbit as you call it would be completely wiped out in Ireland where it not for hare coursing.

Is this where you sell us on the conservation efforts on the back of the activity? Or what?

There is no or what about it. Plenty of independent evidence to prove that to be exactly the case.

Completly different one and all advice welcomed. Trip to Orlando being planned for July. 4 kids from 6 to 10 plus 2 adults. Flights are sorted but after advice and suggestions for villa accommodation in particular. Car hire pointers appreciated too.
Sign up to Avis Preferred and use discount code H811101. Avis is good because your OH can drive too, plus Preferred makes it really handy to pick up at airport.

Cheers Rois

Before any of that please get your chimney cleaned. Brother down the same as yourself and started lighting the fire after a few years of not doing it and nearly wiped the family out.

Tyrone were brutal , made our bucks look mighty. Cavan will bring us back to reality next week .

Is there ever going to be protection for Aido?

Aidan O'Shea doesn't deserve protection. Let himself down badly again today

Tyrone awful again. Only Peter Harte making an impact. Andy Moran brilliant for Mayo. Aidan O'Shea letting himself down again with the amateur dramatics again.

I'm hearing we're moving to U13/U15/U17 in 2020, anyone else hear that as well?

Would this not have to be a motion for the County Convention?  No mention of it in the motions published

Not sure TBH, was just told that by a lad on the County committee.

There won't be any choice with this most likely. It's going before Congress next year as a motion and will be a done deal. U19 down to U13

Good appointment. Let's hope Tally can get the best players playing. What is the background of Beaty?

Exceptionally good coach.

If you were ever at a Donegal home game in the last few years you'd see how good of people they are.
The bile that comes from SOME of their mouths, even from women and men over a certain vintage is a disgrace.
Meeting SOME Tyrone GAA supporters in the flesh has that effect on a lot of people. ;D ;D ;D

Both counties have their issues with supporters, like all counties really, but as long as Donegal have Declan Bonner in charge they don't deserve any neutral support.
