ST BRIGIDS

Is it true that there is talk of ST BRIGIDS setting up a hurling team?

Cheers

ST BRIGIDS

I have heard that they are potentially setting up a hurling team - I think I remember a St Brigids fella on this board?

Cheers.

Ardal...that was pure class.

Did the cops pick him up at training? Harte should have instructed them to 'kick that paddy wagon give the dog a bone'...

For what its worth I agree with The Truth - not about the fact that The Skull is a numbskull at all rather about Cushendall's forwards. Too many were left wanting.

Sambo's son who no doubt is a great prospect was injured in the 1st half...whether he pulled a muscle or got a slap I do not know but wasn't right for the rest of the game...in that instance he should have been subbed. There were a couple of forwards brought on with about 3 minutes left. Not clinical enough from Skinner who has impressed me to date.
Bringing Jackie on was the right thing to do (ala Gary Docherty being fired on in the soccer)...last throw of the dice but arguably it was lost by then. They had the chances with frees and from open play but let it slip with some poor shooting and some over elaborate handpassing.

As  said on another thread if Cushendall regroup I am not sure if anyhting else in Antrim/Ulster will touch them. Impressed by Aidan and Sean Delargy.

Gort Na Mona beat by 2/3.

Great news about Clooney Gaels after a tough day watching Cushendall and then the 2nd half of the rugby in the Carrickdale on the way up.

Not going into much detail about Cushendall - real shame I thought. They had chances, numerous frees missed, quite a few wides from open play. I will say however that if they keep their heads right, take a break and go hard at it again I would be surprised if anyone in Antrim willtouch them this year (pleasantly surprised that is!).
Thought Aidan Delargy had a great game, should have been midfield earlier.

If god is interesting in hurling at all I secured my place in heaven this weekend.
Went to the other semi final Toomevara v Ballyhale in Portlaoise yesterday (I would bet my house that if they don't freeze on the day Ballyhale will win the final - this semi final was on a different level to the one today in Mullingar. In all honesty Toomevara's first half performance was as good as I have seen club hurling - a real shame they collapsed and a real shame that Tommy Dunne may have got sent off in what could be his last ever game).
Then after that game I went to the Antrim challenge against Laois (well most of it). Antrim arrived 40 minutes after throw in was meant to happen and then came onto the field with random numbers on their backs. There was a slight breeze and Laois went in at half time about 2-7 0-2 up (or so). They mounted a bit of a fight back before we left with about 15 minutes left. I only hope the Cushendall men and a few who were missing yesterday can improve Antrim. Was impressed to see what I think was the game being videoed by someone from Antrim - we need to move on and move on fast.

Hurled for Kilburn Gaels in London last year (2005). Beat in Championship semi by a late goal.

Would have loved to kick football as well but I found for me that GAA life in London was a tough one, long commutes (lived in south london and trained in Highgate)...then the matches were of course out in Ruislip.

London Gaels should be commended for keeping it going despite transport and the lure of other sports (and activities).

Not sure when exactly the boys will be back training.

There was a 10 aside summer comp last year which ran in Wentworth Park and started in February.

Training when it is still light enough early next year will be in Queens Park Bondi.

When the money end of the season comes round and it gets dark early enough we were slogging away at a pitch in Ashfield.

You keen? If so I will drop you more details if you want (on the website anyway, though it hasn't been updated since the final win).

Sound no worries - always on the recruitment drive.

Pack your sunscreen.

charlie linkbox - you a footballer?

If so and you are in Sydney for a while I would definitely recommend Young Irelands.

I am just headed home but played for them last year. Craic was great and a good set up - we won the championship as well and the have a great history.

Apologies if I have missed something on this thread before about this but is it the case a few of the St Galls contingent did not attend trials/are not putting themselves forward because of what happened to Culbert?

So anyone in the know - is this a training panel with a view to maybe bringing people on board later in the year/start of the season?

And finally...any word on the hurling?

Maybe this should be back on the Antrim thread but anyhow.

Slim, not sure if it was mentioned on here before but whats the story with Gerard O Boyle? Is he injured then? First time I have had a chance to read your team for a while and was surprised to not see him on there.

I agree Stephenite.

All the best Slim. Hope that the first match was just a hangover from the Antrim win and you can go on and get through next time.

Outing people on the board is a joke.

Name that club!

Apart from the people whose pitch it is, please name where the photo of the Rossa Girls on the link was taken.
