Is Mark Brannigan the guy that transfered to Drumgath?There definitely was a Brannagain that transfered but not sure if it was Mark. As my da would say he was a good un, if it the same fella I am talking about.

Yes its the same lad, Aidan and Niall Brannigans older brother

[johnneycool]

I am making no more comments on our full back as he is an animal and I'd prefer to keep my limbs intact!!  His wife to be has three brothers on the squad so I'd say she is under severe pressure to let him line out!

And you have the cheek to talk about us!!

[No1]

There's no comeback to that!   

What can I say?  We don't like to dilute the bloodlines!

And Daniel McPolin

[cokers]

So are you still playing for the reserves no.1? Good to see young Merron playing. Coached him at u-16. Handy enough player and so is his brother.

carryduff senior hurlers' first game in the betsy gray cup on wednesday.... carryduff to stun ballyvarley and come out on top by 5pts.

If they play the way they did in the first half v Warrenpoint in the JHC they have every chance!

if i had to put money on it i would say carryduff will beat ballyvarley: as i said about the game against castlewellan their players just dont have the pace to stick with even an en experienced carryduff side, especially on a big field! Carryduff to win handy enough.

dadga you seem to have it in for ballyvarley ,,any reason for this?

Ach well i wouldn say i have it in for them., personally i think they've did quite well this year compared to previous years! However, beatin severely poor Ards 3rd's teams and weakened inland teams doesnt warrant much praise. As the championship shown!

i see a lot of people talking very negatively about Ballyvarley on this site recently and as a Ballyvarley man i cant see why other people would not like to see us do well. after all, its not like we have the rivalry at this side of the water that the Ards teams have!!!!

I do agree that we do suffer from having a generaly slow team though we do have about 4 boys who could keep with the fastest people in the county any day of the week, unfortunatley these lads have been more or less unavailable all year or having been playing there best. but if they would have been right come championship things would have been alot different!!!

good luck to carryduff tonite and i hope Ballyvarle can win handy  enough

Red Dragon. I would go as far as to say i know the majority of the ballyvarley boys well enough. Who are these four boys that can stick with anyone, and why have they not been playing this year???

[No1]

So are you still playing for the reserves no.1? Good to see young Merron playing. Coached him at u-16. Handy enough player and so is his brother.

Whenever selected!  Even managed a few games for the seniors this year.   

Young Merron is superfit and a good un but he fancies himself big style.  He made himself available for the reserves for the first time last week, he'd rather warm the bench for the seniors!  In saying that he was the best player on the park last Saturday, even Rinty said so.   

That's the problem with those Ards boys, ideas above their station.........................

Any word of you flying home for the reserve semi final to complete the early 90's full back line?
