It was a fantastic year for the Ros in general but the u21 AI final against Dublin showcased everything that is good about football, the u21 grade and Roscommon itself. Even in a losing effort it was a memorable day and a day to be proud of your county.

Outside of that the Mayo-Dublin game was prehaps the most perfect day I've every attended Croke Park. The weather was beautiful, the atmosphere was unbeatable (and having not attending many big Dublin games I found the Dubs to be fantastic lads in general) and the game was a see-saw match full of scoring and momentum changes. Some people said the other semi was better but I think this one was the no-contest game of the year.

Rousing a bar in Navan the day Derry beat Meath in the NFL (18th March) by singing a few songs from 'north of the border'. Actually that was a good week. Went to see the All-Ireland club final to witness a tour-de-force from Liasm Watson and then on the 19th went up to see the McLarnon and McRoary finals, but my old school got beat in the McLarnon final, well beat. Some week but!

Apart from reaching the All Ireland final and defeating the defending champions along the way?

[Shamrock Shore]

1. Beating Laois in Leinster
2. Beating Derry in AIQ

That's about it!

One highlight that comes to mind was seeing a young girl I recognised from my neighbourhood win an All-Ireland Junior Football medal.

[Hardy]

The end of Bantyism.

[Seamroga in exile]

Not surprisingly, Loughgiel winning the All ireland. 

[BennyCake]

Armagh beating Kerry in Tralee.

There wasn't much else to celebrate in Armagh this year.

[Dubh driocht]

Michael Murphy's goal in the final was pretty special, although you could have a thread entirely devoted to Tir Connail this year. Loughgiel on St Patrick's Day were superb champions. The worst of Down and the best of Down on the one day against Monaghan.

Nah. That was not a stretch - and the collapse in second half of semi was alarming.

But we fucked up the final again before it became a match. Sad thing is - again- it was avoidable.

[cadence]

the morning after the aif, hungover, getting the papers, having a fry up and a few pints with the lads to settle ourselves, added to the gentle satisfaction of winning it. doesn't get much better than that i reckon.
