Yorkshire final is today at 1.00pm at Beeston - c* Chulainns v St. Benedicts Harps.

John Mitchell's 0-10 St Brendan's 0-8 in Lancashire and CuCuchullainns 1-9 St Benedicts 0-8 in Yorkshire. Bizarrely the game in Yorkshire was moved at the last minute as the posts had disappeared from the County pitch at Beeston. The wonderful world of the GAA in Britain.

Anyone know how the game went in Scotland?

Dunedin Connolly's won.

You got a lot closer to CuChulains this year, are you a lot stronger or CuChulains weaker or a mixture of both?

Our game against Mitchels was very close, they took the lead for the first time with about 10 minutes to go and held on. They deserved their win although it was a game that could have gone either way. A lot of our younger players will benefit from the experience.

I'd say its a mixture of both to be fair. We're a bit frustrated not to win the game, CC scored 1-3 in a 7 or 8 min spell about 10 mins into the second half. Benedicts had just gone a point up and in the resulting kick out and attack lost both our mid fielder and full forward to injury. It took a while to reorganise and the game was gone, though we still possibly could have knicked it with a bit more composure in front of goals. CC are still a formidable, strong and powerful team but have probably lost a bit of class with the departures of Burns, McCloskey, McCourt, O'Gara and a few others. They'll still not be easy to beat though.

Like ourselves you're getting closer, experience counts for a lot too. We'd beaten Mitchels twice in the last 6 weeks, first in the league final and then in the round robin in the Championship. They won the one that mattered most though.

You still have the high percentage of local lads playing? I'd imagine any good player coming to Leeds now would opt to join yourselves over anyone else.

John Mitchels Liverpool will be hard to beat, think their a slightly better team than 2 years ago, they've added another quality forward, would expect them to beat St Nicks and think Heston will beat John Mitchels of Birmingham. Think the winners of the tournament will come from that game although it won't be the first time I've been wrong.
