Is this a cynical ploy to get Ciaran Mc Donald back into the reckoning. Can Mc Hale stay on the field for the full 70. Who will bandage Wilie Joe? It is great to see the old names back out.

Farr is there a webpage. Want to put it up on FB. This is one charity i have allot of time for. Friend from Donegal recently had a lung transplant and other friends family from Westport are sufferers.

No webpage I'm afraid. Its the Knockmore supporters group along with Kevin O'Neill that are organising it. ONeill's cousin suffers from it too.

Tony Mac will make mincemeat of Mayo, as usual.

Just to get this to the top of the pile again.

Great Cause and should draw a crowd with the feel good GAA factor in the county.

Good honest evenings entertainment! Well done to all involved. Ciarán Mac still can make the passes. And judging from the mauling for photos and autographs Brolly is a popular man this side of the world? But the Man who stole the show.......Local man Padraig Brogan.....Legend!

3-10 to 3-12 and don't ask me who won?
Hard to put a match report together for it as players were coming on and going off and coming back on again. Some lads still in great shape, Geezer, Maurice Sheridan, John Casey, Ciaran Mac, John Finn, Colm Mac, Kevin O'Neill, Brolly (yes Brolly), Liam McHale, Anthony Egan, to name a few.
Padraig Brogan stole the show. Played the first 15 minutes and the last ten. The home crowd really love him! And you can see has legend status by lough Conn.

Good banter, photos and autographs after the game. Great craic, great reminiscing, great entertainment and a great Charity to support.

Fantastic to see 'The Bomber ' Brogan in action once more. The best player that I have ever seen, bar none. What might have been for club and county............... Fair play to him for turning out tonight and great to see such a large number of former greats turn up for the event. Well done to all involved and to Brolly, Flynn, McGeeney, McHugh etc. for giving up of their time to come down and support the event.

Some of these guys are still in mighty good shape. Eugene McHale who must be 55+ was flying.

To all my Crossmolina mates.......it must have been worth the journey alone to see McDonald tog out in a Knockmore jersey

Heard there was a great crowd there tonight and some very enjoyable football too.
