Fantastic performance by Roche today, 6th in today's TT, back up to 2nd over all.

My humble steed, love it, although I will be upgrading the wheels before the year is out.

Great win for Roche today in the Vuelta, hopefully he can push on from here.

Of that minor team I'm nearly sure David Brady and Darragh Gannon who came on are both 16. There are possibly others.

More good news on the underage scene, as St. Pats beat tournament favorites Maghera by 2.

St Pats won the Ranafast this evening, beating Omagh by 6 points. 4-10 to 2-10 . Great game of football, they were down by 5, half way through the second half. A great goal with 10 minutes to go by, I think, Ben Conaty turned the game. Some wonderful examples of long range point taking and fielding.

St Pats won their Ranafast semi-final this evening 2-15 to 0-7.  Great result, very promising bunch of lads.

Very comprehensive highlights here, very first game shown.

Revenge for the U21 final would be particularly sweet.

Do I sense a bandwagon coming?? Brilliant result, great lift for the county.

Very interesting listening to John Evans on the radio this morning talking about Tipps win, talking about it being a 3 year plan starting with a U-15 development squad. Same squad has won at U-15/16/17 and now 18. Goes to show with the right men at the right levers and a good system in place what can be done, even in weaker counties.

Try this..........

Highlights of the Wexford game just after being on TG4! Came across it half way though completely by chance. Dunno why they couldn't have shown them the other evening along with the other highlights.

Some more good news on top of what seems like a good performance by Cavan during the week, friend was at the game, thought Cullivan ws emense.

St Pats are through to the Cor na nOg final, due to be played this week.  I think it's the next grade up from the Team who won the Dalton last year. Great to see a team of lads from Cavan, no matter how young, competing at the top table in Ulster.

CAVAN THROUGH TO CORN NA NOG FINAL
Wed 9th Feb 2011

BT Corn na nÓg semi-final :
St Patrick's Cavan        5-10     Abbey CBS     3-4
St Patrick's Cavan conceded two goals in the opening 90 second of this Corn na nÓg semi-final in Tyholland but powered their way back into contention to claim a place in the final against Omagh CBS.
Sheagh Dobbin and Ryan Trainor bagged those early Abbey goals, but a goal from Daragh Gannon and two from Paul Leddy – the second a bit of a goal-mouth scramble – put Cavan in control before the break.
Although they conceded a second Dobbin goal right on half-time, they still led by 3-4 to 3-2 and held the Abbey to just 2 pointed frees during the second half.
Gannon fired home his second goal early in the second half and Paul Sexton's three-pointer in the 49th minute left the Cavan side coasting home.
Meanwhile St Malachy's Belfast completed the BT Loch an Iúir semi-final line-up, by surviving a goal fest against St Patrick's Keady in yesterday's quarter-final.
St Malachy's won 5-16 to 3-8, and now face another south Armagh school, St Paul's Bessbrook, in the semi-final, while Patrician Carrickmacross and Rathmore Grammar are already lined up in the other semi-final.
St Patrick's Cavan : Paul Leddy 2-2, Daragh Gannon 2-1, Paul Sexton 1-1, Ben Conaty 0-2, Colin McCabe 0-2, Brian Connolly 0-1, Pearse Smyth 0-1.
Abbey : Sheagh Dobbin 2-0, Ryan Trainer 1-2, Cillian McEvoy 0-3.

First of all, congratulations to Kingscourt, well deserved.

On a number of points raised here, firstly Johnstone deserved a yellow, took a kick at his man coming out for the kickout, albeit small, but was well spotted by the linesman and deserved. Helped the game as a whole to see him carded so early, cut out all the bad manners straight away. Ive been fortunate enough to see championship games the breath of the country this year and Ive see some great player in action, Cussen, Cadogan, McGourty, Joyce etc, not one off whom display the attitude problem like Johnstone on the field of play. He is undoubtedly a good player but will never be great unless he learns some manners.

Very unfortunate injury to Collins, he got on some great ball, and i wish him well, his absence certainly made a huge difference, but I don't think there was any malice in Clarke's challenge, though probably did deserve a yellow.

Thought the penalty was a penalty, though a ridiculus one to give away, the ball had gone well past by the time it happened. Young Leddy too, like his captain needs to learn some manners, all the time pulling, dragging and yapping, this time it cost them dearly.

They Gaels can be justifiably feel agrieved by Jimmy Galligan's decision at the end to let play continue after he clearly gestured for a free. Highly peculiar decision to renage especially consided it lead to a Kingscourt score.
