Story of the opening round must be St Brigid's beating Aghagallon. First real test for them and passed it. Think, if I'm not mistaken, that could mean a potential Cargin vs Aghagallon QF if Cargin top their group and Aghagallon end up 2nd in their group.

There were a few ' beatings' dished out at Aghagallon !

Thanks DK, and fair play to Creggan for staying around and respecting the occasion. Great club.

I can tell you our club makes no apology in saying we partied hard tonight, massive night in and around our social club. We completely understand this dosent necessarily translate into championship success, but PG1 will mark this down as a considerable step on our journey from division three to the top of division one.

Congrats to all involved in PG1. A fine club with some fine members.

I'm very lucky that I have a really good support network, went a dander tonight and it helped greatly. Spoke to my counsellor also today and I'm starting back next week.

Onwards and upwards. Thanks folks

Look after yourself PJ, I honestly hope things get better for you.
There's always the Gaaboard alumni to reach out to and typing out thoughts and feelings can be a weight off too. I must admit, I've seen nothing other than supportive messages and comments on this particular thread for those who have shared their struggles.

Cheers TB. You're 100% correct, for all the nonsense that's spouted on this board in other threads this one is likely the best.

Bunch of greats fellas on here. Brighter days ahead.

We blew yet another lead last night to end up with a draw, probably a lucky one at that.

8 points up at one point in the first half, then changed tactics and went conservative, retaining possession, when St Galls were there to be put out of sight.

That extra point would have been very valuable.

It has been a season of poor decisions and missed opportunities and I fear the worst.

St Endas next week is a must win or we are gone.


Sw yous 2-2 to 0 up after 10mins  , how did you lose that lead


Same old story, get a lead and then panic and start to go side to side in our own half.

Gives the other team momentum and we lose ours and can't lift it again.

Too many times this season.

Our best performances have come from us being behind at half time and having to attack.

You would think they would see something behind that.

Who is in charge of your lads this year?

Things have taken a turn for the worst here. Work, home life and the illness of a close friend has really knocked me back on my heels totally.

Things will get better but at the minute it's hard to see that happening.

Cheers. That is some going. Ladies scene going well in all codes.

Now if they could just do it without engaging in those ridiculous protests it would be even better.

Better to stay silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

He's a bit of a wet wipe and a mediocre commentator, gets a bye ball for these podcasts when the guests are what make it. He's good at interviewing but I reckon many a man would be with that calibre of guest.

At least he's not Sidebottom

A bit harsh on him to be fair.

I do like Joe Brolly's new podcast.

It's good but nearly every episode is just him criticizing Trump, The Tories, The DUP and the Royal Family


Fair play to him. The DUP , Tories, Trump and the Royals are scum.

How good was sambo? Would he have matched up against his southern counterparts?

In my opinion there were better players on that Antrim team but they had a much lower profile
They would say round the Dall that he wasn't even the best McNaughton on the team.

Danny & James both better hurlers apparently and if you were talking to a different person they'd tell you that Sambos brother Shane was a better player.

How often should you get an automatic gearbox serviced?
I had to get a gearbox oil change at 40k miles just last week there. Along with the standard service and a few spark plugs, it cost me £660  :o

With a dealer?
