O'Byrne Cup & Bihatimber 2012

[Shamrock Shore]

Longford's new county team sponsor is Glennons' Sawmills so the Bihatimber is surely ours in 2012.

In further news I see Bord na Mona are sponsoring this year's competition.

It's Offaly's to lose so

The prize for the winner is a bale of briquettes.

That's worth winning. Great heat out of Briquettes. Especially in February.

[Shamrock Shore]

Good luck with the briquettes. Longford black turf is this side of coal. Great stuff. Auld fella has rights of some sort to cut same. Not sure if Ming and his merry men are for him or agin him.

So - should it now be the O'Burn Cup?

I'll get me coat.

Only because rates were too high in Tullamore. Once they realised their was no turf in Baggott Street, Newbridge was nice and cheap, and not too far for all the Offaly lads who go to HO.

[Shamrock Shore]

Surely there is more bog in Offaly than there is in Kildare.

Good thing/bad thing is open to debate.

That all sounds legal and above board.

Louth v Kilkenny

Wicklow v College
Longford v College

Kildare v College
Offaly v Westmeath

Carlow v Dublin
Laois v College

Nice game to start of with for us against de Yella-Bellys and then the Cats unless Louth can cause an upset.

Who are the colleges ??
