RGU Notes
08 December 2009


The under 20 team had a busy but fruitful weekend. On Friday night they paid host to St Marys under lights. It was an atrocious night with a high wind and incessant rain throughout the game The teams were evenly enough matched in the first half with the Hoops going in two points in front thanks to a cracking goal from Boyler in the 14th minute. The home side upped the tempo in the second half adding another two goals and 4 points to their tally, Nathein Curran and Jarlaith Brannigan being the main scorers. Such was the tenacity and determination of the RGU defence that it took St Marys 28 minutes to register their one and only point in the second half. Final score 3-10 to 1-4.
Less than 40 hours later the squad was back for another battle on Sunday morning against Carryduff. The Hoops were never tested but maybe that is the way it appeared with the defence even more solid than they were on Friday and the sharp shooting forwards on top form. Final score 1-10 to 0-3. That leaves the RGU side undefeated with one game to go against Bredagh to decide who plays off to face the South Down champions. This young enthusiastic squad will be a force to reckon with no matter the opposition. The new county u 21 managers were at the game and were very impressed with the quality of our players and were amazed at the age of some of them especially Deccie Turley. Rumour has it Marty Brady said he, Oaksey and Richard would be disappointed if at least 12 of the squad didn't make it onto the County panel.

Marty Brady may well regret that statement.

The only explanation I can see here is that it is a typo and it should read 1/2 meaning 1 or 2, not f**kin 12!!!

Fancy a puck big lad!!

Brian Cody is signing his book in Ballycran tomorrow at 12.00 for anyone looking for a Christmas present.

I hope ther isn't a repeat of the leona lewis book-signing incident over on the Ards peninsula tomorow   

Wot sort of money r these aussie clubs offering these rookie irish players???

Head to heads are used before scoring difference GY. As far as I know Shams beat the Duff both home and away, so Carryduff are down.

Is this definately the case because i know in the past that score difference was used first???

[very little exposure in the local media]

Imagine that will be kept close to respective teams chests. Certainly anyone from either club with inside info posting on this needs shot. 
Very good odds on Loughinisland, certainly worth a punt as they seem to be coming good at the right time.
Noticed Kilcoo taking up four odd pages in the Mourne Observor and have drew plenty of attention in taking the scalps of the top three clubs (league wise anyway), whilst Louginisland almost unnoticed have crept into the final and have very little exposure in the local media.
I hope I am wrong as I have a lot of respect for what Kilcoo have achieved at underage level and as a club on the whole but there could be a Possible ambush on the cards.

BREAKING NEWS: MARTY Clarke has walked out on the Magpies, citing homesickness and a "burning" desire to be a teacher.

The Irish-born onballer has spent three years at the Lexus Centre, but he said he missed his family too much, and so was leaving immediately to return to his homeland.

"My decision to return home was not an easy one. But I simply miss my home and the people close to me too much," Clarke said in a statement on the club's website.

"I also have a burning desire to be a teacher and I want to start that stage of my life as soon as possible."

After a stunning first year in the league, Clarke has struggled to cement his place in the side and said today his homesickness had affected his play.

"The latter stages of this year were forgettable ones on a football level. I suppose the uncertainty in my mind didn't help," he said.

Clarke, who was a star in underage Gaelic football, said he looked forward to returning to his native game.

"I am also looking forward to playing Gaelic football again. I strongly believe my best moments of my sporting life are ahead of me and at this stage and I want to show them on the GAA stage," he said.

Clarke, who turns 22 in November, played 46 games with the Magpies.



He made his AFL debut in round 12, 2007 against Sydney after being temporarily elevated to the senior list due to a long-term injury, and earned a permanent spot on the senior list for the 2008 and 2009 seasons.

Yes Maldini, I was at the meeting and it just served to highlight why the standard of refereeing in the county is so low. The agenda of the meeting was to clarify certain rules etc, but as always certain refs brought up the topic of expenses at the earliest opportunity and thus this dominated the rest of the meeting.

Some of these men dont care about refereeing standards and are only thinking of how big their expenses cheque can be at the end of the year. I dont want to condemn all refs cos we do have some top class refs in the county, however, a lot of them are simply miserable men seeking expenses!!

Anyone know when the next round of league fixtures is goin to be played? Friday 5th Sept?
