Cuchullains got back on the winning trail after beating St. Benedicts easily in the end and Oisins beat Bros. Pearse, both games in Div. 1. I hear St. Anne's didn't make it over to play Hugh O'Neill's on Saturday evening after their bus broke down!

I think St Pat's Chester shipped a heavy defeat away to Young Irelands, 5-12 to 0-05 if the reports are correct. Not great for the confidence of a team starting out. Hopefully they'll become a bit more competitive in the county junior league and championship.

Lancashire's new website is up and running, www.lancashiregaa.co.uk. Looks very impressive and should be good for obtaining results and fixtures information.

Very informative and well put together.

I have to say it looks very impressive - all counties in Britain really should haev something similar up and running! I hope the forum doesnt turn into a slanging match like Hoganstand though!

oisins beat mitchells by 4
i'd say mitchells won't be too disappointed - they had a long (successful) season last year and will be flying come championship time
confidence boosting win for oisins

Warwickshire 5-18 Leitrim 1-11

Warwickshire superb in the 1st half.Some serious hurlers all over the pitch especially in the forwards

Warwickshire won this after extra time in a thriller which was a very tough encounter between two good teams.Warwickshire levelled it in normal time with a Des Kelly free from the sideline with the last puck of the game.London led by 3 points at 1/2 time in extra time but Warwickshire were outstanding in the final ten minutes winning by 4 or 5 points. I think the score was something like 4-17 to 5-9.

Seems as though John Mitchel's are back in full swing after their latest victory in the Pennine League. Lawrence's beat Cuchullains too.

Yeah looks like John Mitchel's have overcome their hangover from last season. No doubt their aim is for another crack at the All-Ireland junior. They had 48 players out training a few weeks ago which is crazy stuff. Bit surprised at Cuchullains being beaten, but Division 1 is very competitive this season. The St. Peter's game against Hugh O'Neill's has been rearranged for this coming Tuesday night in Leeds.

St Peter's beat Hugh O'Neills tonight in Leeds in the Pennine League. Hugh O'Neills put up a very strong second half performance.
