Maurice Fitz scoring a free from the 14 yrd line with his left foot off the ground was one of the best pieces of skill I ever saw.

What??  Where was it taken from?
Anyway seems like this thread has turned into a greatest score thread - go away and start your own - don't be hijacking this one

Good man, yeah, I started this thread.
Anyway I was just giving an example of one of the best bits of skill I had ever seen, the fact that it was his week foot, to put that much curl on it. Unreal.

Say a man is in front of you. You can stick the paw up all you like but the chances are that he will get his stick to it. All you have to do is when his stick goes up, clear it out of the way with yours and your airspace is free!

That lad has some amount of money, lucky boys...

With the catch, I think the key to catching the ball is what you do with your non catching hand. be it gaurding your hand, or on the more illegal side, playing the hurl, or even pushing lads out of the way, that would be my biggest tip to catching in a group of players.

Beat me to it bellequa

They are both the same, except maybe the overhead pull is swingin o nthe ball when it is over your head and doubling on the ball in the air could mean waist height.
THe ball is coming in high, probably just above catching height, you swing the hurl and help the ball on the way its going. Another way would be to hit it back where it came from but keeping it going the same way requires expert hand-eye coordination and exact timing, very difficult to execute properly.

Have you any tips for the sideline cut?

sideline cut is also hard to master. I thinks its amazing lads who are naturally brilliant at them.

Sure we might as well do hurling as well. THere should be more contenders for this one.
Contenders:
Sideline cut
Doubling on the ball in the air
Blocking
Soloing at full speed
High catching
First touch
Drop pucking

Mine would have to be doubling on the ball in the air but it is one that has faded out of the game since the 80's.

Goocg has amazing skill, the things he can do with his hands are amazing.
C McD though has mastered the kick pass.

What is there to chose from? THe contenders would be high fielding, tackling or blocking, kicking off the ground.full spead solo running,kicking outside of the boot.
Mine would be the solo dummy.

DCU must be favourites again.

Then UCD wiating for the winners, any news on how teams are going?

Good to see we have someone from Setanta on the board, keep up the good work Easytiger.

Last year, Rock managed Duleek. Duleek had been a team pushing the intermediate ranks for the last couple of year and they eventually won it with Rock in charge. THey stayed up senior this year also.
