Is there such a thing as sw b juvenile leagues? there's a shield... Do some leagues split?

Portglenone would generally have as big a pick as a lot of other clubs in the sw would they not? Ahoghill wouldn't mind you. Ahoghill are very much backboned by a few families. I think it is similar for other small country clubs mind... Revolves round a few families so the fortunes of the senior team depends on where those families are agewise.

Flanker you're right that Fergal Rafferty didn't join Lavey as a juvenile; he played for Ahoghill seniors - too briefly - before transferring; as did his younger brother Gearoid who later transferred to Glenullin.

None of the Raffertys were playing when Ahoghill beat Portglenone in the 1992 JFC final.

Yeah i remember your 4 in a row well. A few very good prospects never made it through to senior but always the way.

I see your point about the never playing for casements thing.

Sean Stinsons was formed in 1979

chairman's role will be challenged. ive not a clue who else is intending to stand but all is not well at the top. serious bit of bitching going on.

Has the PMcC/SK "argument" been sorted out?

No chat here following the Peadar Heffron interview?

A very wishy-washy so-called statement if you ask my opinion. Carefully worded to say that "club members" visited Peadar's family after the incident; Peadar didn't deny that; what Club conveniently "forgot" to include was that those same members made it clear to Peadar's family that they were there in a personal capacity and NOT on behalf of the Club.
Shameful treatment of a loyal, hard-working member; and for anyone that might say times were different - the Club could now come out and say that, and that they're sorry??

Hear that this year's county convention will require the assistance of tellers........gonna be a lotta counting

I heard that CD will be "challenged"; any other major competitions? Obviously Ass Treasurer is vacant....any other vacancies?

Well done to Cargin on winning the Eddie fitzsimmons cup tonight.

Does anyone know the lay of the land at the bottom of div 1?

Do aldergrove still have 2 points to be deducted ?

Despite playing an illegal player against Ahoghill in the 1st phase (before split) the CCC have now decided NOT to deduct the 2 points Aldergrove gained by winning that match!

To compound Ahoghill's difficulties CCC are insisting that that last match (against Aldergrove - to avoid relegation) is played at 3pm on Sunday 13th, after Clooney Gaels play Cushendall in the SHC on Saturday 12th at 6.30pm, with probably at least half a dozen dual players!!!
