The NFL D3 fixtures should be officially released shortly but, barring some unexpected review, we are due to be away to Tipperary on the first weekend. Although it's a long journey to a county which has been getting better results than us over recent seasons, we need to target a win if we are serious about promotion.

Away to Tipp and home to Antrim... first two games we really should win comfortably. Panel is set to be cut next week and challenge games have been organised for this side of Christmas including a tasty one v Mayo.

Win comfortably?  We haven't won a game since 2021 so I dont think this will happen. I wud expect to see green shots though...

Truth hurts

Any Aughlisnafin members on the board?

Well done to Liatroim winning the Ulster intermediate hurling final, brilliant achievement 👏


Well done indeed, a crack at some serious teams in the ai semifinal awaits.

Brilliant achievement by the Fontenoys.

Major achievement and performance. Number of players out the hand up for Down next season. The All Ireland series will be a step up in standard

They play Toureen of Mayo the weekend of the 17-18th, Toureen being the Mayo senior champions and having seen off the Roscommon senior finalists and the Galway intermediate winners.

Give it a good rattle is all you can ask.


Truth hurts

Well done Liatriom, the transfers worked well for you :)

Truth hurts

Fair play to St Marks Warrenpoint with 3 big wins this week. . But St Louis Kilkeel for a former McRory school look to be struggling. Is numbers an issue down there? Some great feeder clubs into it.

Think it has suffered from the feeder teams being significantly weaker than they were when school was competing well at macrory and maclarnon. The school has predominantly been at B level. Them few years at macrory were an anomaly backboned by a couple of strong teams like An Riocht and Rostrevor who would have been best u16 /minor teams in Ulster arguably at that stage and obviously a strong down minor team around then too. They had 3 players in 2005 team playing County u21 football at that time if my memory serves correct in Clarke colgan and ireland. Of the starting 15 for down minor in all ireland final 6 of them went to St louis

Truth hurts

The St Marks defeat at u16 was C level and it was a 20 point defeat. Sad to see St Louis closer to D level than ever.

I cry myself to sleep.

Thoughts on the new jersey?
I don't like the white stripes.
