Fair play wobbler - a real honest report on lasts nights game.  Not many people tell it as it is especially when your own team looses.  Credit were credit is due.

I too heard that Chris Killen and Decky O'Reilly were probably An Riocht's best last night.  Alot of posters seem intent on supporting or slating the big boys (county players), however in quite a few club games its the boys who give there all for their clubs and would die for the jersey (O'Reilly, Soupy) that shine through. 

In saying this you always need some inspiration and that's what we get from Marty and Brendy (I'm sure when Murtagh is flying he lifts the whole Ballyholland team) and just pure grit and determination and a never say die attitude and thats what we get from John (Ballyholland get it from Murphy) - a good mixture.  On the negative side if you take the aforementioned lads out of the team (on county duty) it sure as helll leaves a big hole to be filled.  Will be interesting to see how we handle division 1

A good win for us tonight.  The rest the Ballyholland boys needed didn't do the trick then!!!! ;)
In all seriousness what sort of a game was it.  Nice to see us winning the league title as we were by far the most consistent team in division 2 this year - but sometimes you never know in a one-off game.  Any reports on tonights game would be much appreciated.

I think some people on here are being very unfair to the An Riocht club.  And to be calling them hoors is darnright stupid.  It is the county boards fault not An Riocht's that this game is not being played at the weekend.  If they had of done what they were supposed to do and make a phonecall(4 days notice) to tell Ballyholland that the game was scheduled for Thurseday then there would be non of this slagging going on.  I thought it was common knowledge that the game was scheduled for Thursday even before the semi-final was played- obviously not as most posters seem to know nothing about it.  Too be honest personally as an An Riocht man i didn't think it was fair to play the game so soon after the semi - but again not An Riochts fault but the county boards.
