We had our chances but just didn't take them

Definitely, things weren't looking to good at half time for us. A lot of mistakes and wrong options by both teams. Good to see the hr going forward, should help with the ball work side of things in training.

They always tend to struggle for numbers early on in the season, think they've got a few lads who play soccer on a sunday. I knw they had sveral players on a stag do when they played us.

I think if a team fails to field for two games they are automatically out of the competiton, makes a bit of a joke of the league as now theres no relegation battle!

also if its going to be tight at the top it might come down to points difference which would affect teams who Lawrences haven't fielded against. Surely if they fail to field again they will be thrown out and all results against them voided.

now been told they've lost a few and a few have retired. Hope they can get through it as there a good club and have always had an underage setup.

Lads if ye know of anyone heading out to Edinburgh, Dunedin Connolly's are on the look out for players, good set up there at the moment and a lot of work is being done to develop the club even further.

Would be a shame in Britain in this competition was lost!

British counties want junior championship retained
08 April 2010


British county boards will be voting against a proposal to scrap the All-Ireland intermediate and junior football and hurling championships at next weekend's annual Congress in Newcastle, Co. Down.

If the motion is passed, it will be a huge blow to British GAA teams who have enjoyed relative success in those competitions in the past, particularly London's footballers who have won six All-Ireland junior titles. British counties also argue that disbanding the junior championships would result in them having to blood home grown talent at senior level, rather than giving them experience first at junior level.

Despite this, the motion is expected to garner plenty of support from counties in Ireland, with many claiming the intermediate and junior championships aren't taken seriously enough to justify their existence.

If this competition is lost, it could sound the death-knell for football in Britain. It could also be the potential end of all the coaching currently being carried out via the CDA's, if viewed in the long-term.

Also, any thoughts on the suspensions handed down the London Chairman and Secretary in relation to a player's transfer from Westmeath?

We played Lawrences in a Junior League game yesterday, think the final score was 6-9 to 0-8.

Sometimes the scoreline can flatter one team when the game is 13 a side
