The club directly accross the bridge from Shannonbridge would be Padraig Pearses.

Kiltoom will be big enough for the crowd that will attend whats the biggest attendance that can be expected in truth about 4000. Well then its capable although parking will be interesting. I think the reason for the game being played in Kiltoom is because the county board promised St. Bridgets a NFL game this year and had fixed the Cork game for the venue but as the way the situation is with Cork there was no guarantee of this game going ahead so they decided to full fill the request to St. Bridgets with the Meath game thats going ahead on sunday.

Tolka Park is plenty big enough to hold any notion of this Celtic Cup home games in Dublin.

Punxsutawney Fergal:
Athleague would be the more dominant club at the moment at senior grade but Four Roads are always not far away. At underage level Four Roads would be very strong. Yea thats right about Four Roads winning the connaught club title in 1988, Tremane also won it in the 70's think it was 1978 or 79.

Colm Kelly is playing club hurling in Westmeath now hes moved there with his wife. I think he plays for Castlepollard but iam not 100% sure on that. Big loss to his home club Oran. His brother Adrain does still play, more of an impact sub at this stage in his hurling career. Still fair play to him for making the long trip to his home club from his adopted home in county Clare.

Just so you are up to spend on the Roscommon club situation. There is no league, but the championship is run on a round robin format with the top four going into the semi finals. There is also a junior championship run on a round robin format with the top four going into the semi finals for second teams with 5 clubs competing in this along with an amalgamation between Athleague and Tremane.

The clubs are:
Athleague
Four Roads
Padraig Pearses
Oran
Roscommon Gaels
Tremane
St. Domnicks

Castlerea are another club competing well at underage level but have yet to inter into competitions above minor grade.

2001: Tyrone, Derry, Galway, Roscommon, Kerry, Meath, Dublin, Westmeath.
2002: Armagh, Kerry, Galway, Sligo, Dublin, Cork, Mayo, Donegal.
2003: Kerry, Roscommon, Armagh, Tyrone, Laois, Fermanagh, Donegal, Galway.
2004: Kerry, Mayo, Fermanagh, Derry, Armagh, Tyrone, Dublin, Westmeath.
2005: Kerry, Dublin, Tyrone, Armagh, Cork, Galway, Mayo, Laois.
2006: Kerry, Mayo, Dublin, Cork, Armagh, Donegal, Laois, Westmeath.
2007: Kerry, Dublin, Sligo, Monaghan, Derry, Cork, Tyrone, Meath.

Whats the story with tickets for the game. No word yet as to how many the counties are getting. I'd say demand will far outway supply in Roscommon, i've booked two with my club but theres no guarantee in getting any at all.
As for the game i dont really know what to expect, will hope for a good tight game of hurling would benefit both teams as they havent had to excert themselves too much so far with the big scores that they have been piling up against the other teams they have met in the competition.
The benefit of playing in division 2 of the national league and the game against Derry in the Ulster championship which they were unlucky to lose will stand to Armagh, so on that basis Armagh are slight favourites for the title.
We have come on leaps and bounds in the past year compared to the debacle and shame of last year.

COME ON THE ROSSIES
