Kilmacud Crokes 7's

[magpie seanie]

I've been to Silverpark (definitely not full size) and Glenalbyn (bigger but not quite full size) to games and its a brilliant day. In the earlier venues you get loads of goals while on the bigger pitch and with fatigue setting in more points are taken from what I can see.

NL.

I was in Clonkeen College to 'cheer' Abbey last year.

Are ye boys listed for there?

Bring some heart/lung machines cos it is prettin intensive

[North Longford]

Don't think draws for football made yet. Could only find the hurling earlier in the week. I'm afraid the past few weeks inactivity won't have helped our chances however minute they may have been at the best of times.

[Shamrock Shore]

The Longford club has been in Clonkeen for the last number of years. I think it's seeded with the good lads in Glenalbyn and the lessers farmed out to the sticks and then brought into Stillorgan as group winners etc

[highking]

The main pitch in Glenalbyn is full width but just shy of full length.

The outside pitches are either juvenile pitches or rugby pitches - which is just perfect. However, if you get a goalie with a good puck-out, and the wind at his back, he can have pot-shots for scores. I remember a few years ago we had a good goalie on a windy day. He put three puck-outs over the bar the opposite side.

In the football however, the Glenalbyn pitch is shortened a bit more - cos theres more running in the football.

Looking forward to the day. Heading up tonight for the weekend. The club has got about 20 AI tickets so should be a great weekend.

Word has it Crossmaglen Rangers are going to the 7's this year.

[rrhf]

Not the same without the Moy. 

[No way ref]

I see Glenullin are down to play. They will be hoping their championship match doesn't go to a replay

[milltown row]

St galls won the Castlewellan last weekend while the hurlers played the same day at Kilmacud!!! the hurlers won two lost one.

we'd be a good price for it

[ONeill]

Yes, a good bet. The only other side to do back to back was Bryansford in 93-94.

[ONeill]

Not the same without the Moy.

Tyrone are traditionally shite at this. I think all 4 Tyrone teams finished bottom of their respective groups last year.

[mountainboii]

Too many Down teams.

Down are becoming the Fiji of Gaelic football.

[milltown row]

Longstone and Castlewellan are not bad either
