i see the Rock play Dunedin Connollys of Edinburgh in the All-Ireland semi-finals. are there any tyrone lads involved with them?

Dunedin beat my club in the All Britain semi final and I know their wing half back is a Tyrone man, a fella called Ronan McGurk from Ardboe (I think). He would have knocked around a few decent Academy teams and Tyrone at underage level I believe. Decent player to be fair.
That was never a square ball!!

That the small fella with black hair , stocky build? He was excellent  against John Mitchels of Liverpool in the all Britain final.

You may laugh but isle of Mann have a team called Ellen vannin gaels and compete in junior in Lancashire. Haven't competed in last two years however

I knew someone involved with them a few years ago.

What about Rathlin? Any history of GAA there?

Their coach is Marcus McGinley from Owen Roes with Stephen mcCauley another Owen Roes man in the squad.

Ben McGillian from Strabane involved too.
Owen Roe O'Neills GAC, Leckpatrick, Tyrone

I could be wrong on this but I would have sworn I heard somewhere about someone from Rathlin playing for ballycastle. It wouldn't be big enough for a team. I don't know the population of it but it's not big at all.

Ben McGillian is the fastest man I have ever seen on a pitch.
