In Breffni Park

A fairly central venue - where else would you play it?

He's right about relying on the individual brilliance of Canavan and McCurry rather than having an identifiable plan in attack. Saturday night will tell the tale when the third lowest goal scoring team in the country plays against the defence that has conceded the most goals to date in the league.

I'm told screenshots don't work at Croke Park because of the type of scanner they use but will be ok everywhere else

MacRory was u18.5 & Hogan was minor for many years but they all when to 18.5 at some stage and I'm not sure when it changed, presumably the 90s. The transition year in the South gives three years in the leaving cert cycle in some cases so this is why there's the perception of them having the year extra.

Is that Ronan McAlinden from Newry direction who is over Augher?

Teacher in the Dean. Paul O'Hagan over Aghaloo.
I'm also certain that Damian Gormley won't be managing Killyclogher or anyone in the same division as Trillick.

The banks get everyone, every way. A shopowner told me the rates were cheaper for him to use his own cash to fill the in-store ATM, and keep the ATM free, than it was to lodge it in the bank. However, if I'm expected to pay to withdraw cash from an ATM then why should I take the hit rather than the retailer? It's probably at the stage that card payments need to be factored into the price and give discount accordingly for cash.

[McCurry was suspended]

Possibly something like,

1. Niall Morgan.
2. Michael McKernan.
3. Pádraig Mampsey.
4. Cormac Quinn.
5. Peter Harte.
6. Frank Burns.
7. Niall Devlin.
8. Brian Kennedy.
9. Conn Kilpatrick.
10. Conor Meyler.
11. Ruairi Canavan.
12. Joe Oguz.
13. Darren McCurry.
14. Darragh Canavan.
15. Michael O'Neill, dropping back.

but who knows?

Is Meyler not out for a few months with a knee injury?
I had heard McCurry was suspended but not sure how true that is as I can't understand how he could be.

Heard that as well. He must have been investigated by the CCCC for punching Graham O'Sullivan in the stomach in the closing stages of the Kerry game.

Jim's only grounds for appeal is that he's not the person in charge of the team, so the county secretary is looking to take the fall for this one and probably rightly so.

Would the county secretary even know who's on the panel?

Considering they have to sign the teamsheets at the very minimum, I'd be surprised if they didn't
