You don't get to Lavey much do you 

[didn't start their second level education at St. Pat's?]

Settle a bet for me here boys.

How many of the Maghera team are blow-ins, i.e. didn't start their second level education at St. Pat's?I could be a score the richer.

probably only a player or coach could give you the definitive list but here's a few I know who are def. blow in's:
Tiarnan Rafferty, Benny Quigg, Denver Johnstone, The Keeper (?) and corner back (I think both County Antrim maybe one Dunloy, one Cargin),

Just thinking of the boys who were there from first year might be easier:
Karl McKague, Marty McCloskey, Brian Og McGilligan, Martin Burke, Ciaron Young,  Jack Kielt, Emmett Bradley, Ruairi Bradley, Sean McNicholl, Shane Farren

Not sure about the squad though that's a few I can think of for now...............

St. Colemans beat St. Pat's by a point in their opening league game.
Terrible conditions this morning but one thing I'd say - the Kilrea boys must have been eating some praties over the summer - big Denver spent the whole game gasping for air and I'm 44 and 16 stone and I'd beat Benny to any 50/50 ball.

I know that he's injured but seriously? 

was your lad playing for Maghera in the rannafast?

Na - I don't have anyone on the Rannafast.

I'm involved with our underage football and there are four minors from Dungiven on the MacRory.  Was nearby with work so called in to watch a bit.

They weren't that far away on the day - not much between the two sides but I stand over my concerns about the two players above.

The title speaks for itself.

best wishes to Down and Tyrone on Sunday from the Gaels of Dungiven!!

Congratulations on the minor win yesterday from a Dungiven Gael

Does anyone have any good ideas for things and activities to do on the day??

I was at a GAA fun day about 10 years ago in Swatragh and they billed their big game on the Sunday afternoon as the camogs vs the hurlers.  It was hilarious - out came the camogs togged out ready for battle, followed by the hurlers all dressed as women.  High heels, tights, blouses, hand bags and the lot.  it was hilarious.

Three may be the magic number but TWO is the magic number in Derry -  we have a NFL title AND we are going to win the X-FACTOR
