Gaelic Life should be good 2mro morning. A big interveiw with wee James in it.

Read it earlier today, was a good read, covering a broad range of topics from how the county board treated the as players in the early 90s to the Burren transfer. Interesting he regards 11 of his years at intercounty football as failures, speaks volumes about his mindset.

Yeah Saval and Loughinisland are gone. Saval must be kicking themselves having let a five point lead slip with 4 minutes to go against Liatroim the first day. The fontenoys are relegation specialists and in their last two games deserved to survive. But it is only delaying the inevitable as they will really struggle in a ten team league next year. I thought OPrey, Doyle and Miceal McCartan where major players for them in the past few games. Loughinisland struggled without Jamie ORielly in attack and will badly miss him next year. Was very disapointed with Ben ORielly who is not playing the way he was capable off in the last few years while a number off other island players have lost a lot off confidence. Well done Liatroim who showed great delight at tonights conclusion with a celebratory team photograph. Pity there wasnt a cup for them to celebrate with.

Yeah you could call it The Get Out Of Jail Cup-Oops sorry didn't mean to offend!!

[WhoAreYaWhoAreYa!]

Not something you'd think would be photograph-worthy...doubt that would be hung up in a social club..what would it say, ' Relegation surviver Div;1 2009'....

Any teams declaring amalgamation. Dont think 'Ness have a team so I'd like to play for someone if possible.

already started, there was 5 in East Down, Bredagh, the Duff, DPK, Bryansford and C'wellan, they were then joined by St Marys, now i am not sure of this so maybe someone can confirm or deny this, its the same as last year with St Johns as well?

first games were last week, Bredagh v C'Wellan was off, the Duff drew with somebody, I cant remember. Bredagh v The Duff tomorrow

Unfortunately not as simple as that as once one outside player declares then the other team gives up the right to their name

any other results  from the u20s?

Bredagh v The Duff was a decent enought game, as expected it was a tight and competative, decent crowd there as well

[Whitehair]

Was anyone down at the Hurling Coaching day in Portaferry yesterday or hear any reports? I'd of liked to have gone but couldnt due to work, was a good coup getting those lads up!

[Square Ball]

I know that Bredagh and Caryduff were well represented, Kelly made it but I believe Tyrell was unalbe to make it due to the weather conditions

[RadioGAAGAA]

  Yawn! Same as before.

Why don't you put your name forward then?



A lot of the county board frequently put in shockingly long hours, yet all they seem to get is grief.

To be honest, I don't know why they bother, far too much hassle from people on the sidelines sniping away. Those same people wouldn't be arsed putting in half of the time commitment needed.

Downpatrick beat Bryansford by 2 or 3 though  were  short a few.
Worthy winners in a windspoilt match.
Ford kept in with a few handy won frees in seccond half
