His opponent was medically unfit so was not allowed to compete.

Anybody been to Spain recently? What you need to prove you are vaccinated?  13 year old has one dose but never got 2nd as she got COVID 3 weeks ago - how do you prove she had it within the past 90 days?

Went through Malaga airport few weeks back, they did a half hearted vaccine check, looked but didn't scan anything. They'd still plenty of staff allocated to it tho.

If you registered your daughters positive and got a text back I'd say that would be 100% in addition to the one vaccine jab.

Through Malaga this week.

Loads of staff to check and were stopping folk at random. However looked to be about 5pc of passengers being stopped.

Griggs through to the final - happy days.

8:08 so capable of a lot more however it's only qualifying.

A medal would be a stretch but this guy is the best Irish runner to appear in years - here's hoping.

He basically jogged the last lap as he was so clear in 4th. With 6 going through he didn't need to push himself

Two guys with GAA backgrounds up today.

Jude Gallagher from Newtownstewart at 7pm in the boxing QF.
Nick Griggs from Brackaville in the U20 world athletics later too. I think in 3000m at 3pm.

On season three of Narcos Mexico... I'm nearly thinking it's better than the Colombian

Thought the same. Said I'd endure it but it turned out superb.

Standard of league football has dipped imo, maybe its people being away travelling but some teams seem very weak.

Errigal ticking along nicely

Friday night football might be an issue.

Men working all day, quick bite and travelling 30 mins to a game. It has to impact on performance.

Round of league games on both the 15th and 17th july? Would that not be the one week in the whole calendar you would think would have no games let alone two  that's bound to be peak holiday season for club players surely

Double round 29th and 31st July as per website.

Where is 15th and 17th info from?

Armagh the better side and taking nothing from them.
Curious there is not more talk of Nugent raising his hand to Teague early on. It looked, albeit there was no replay, a red card?

Be a short club season this year

17 x weeks left!

It'll still run till October.

Said email Fionn.

"The League will start once the Tyrone u20s are finished.

If Tyrone u20s reach the All Ireland, we will play round 15 of the reserve league on Friday 13th May at 7-15pm

There will be play offs for promotion and relegation. .

Initially, games on Friday night will throw-in at 6.30pm and 7.45pm. This will change to 6.45pm and 8.00pm when light allows.

There will be a holiday break following the round of games on Friday 1st July and the league will recommence on Friday 15th July.

We are aiming to complete the league in full before commencing the Championship. The full Championship draw will take place within the next few weeks. "

Second time of asking... does anyone know what the format for promotion/relegation is in the All-County football leagues this year? Divisions 1 & 2 started last night and Division 3 has three rounds of games played but personally I'm none the wiser and there's no info on tyronegaa.ie that I can find either.

Fairly sure I read an email that stated it was back to league winners, Championship winners and next 4 play off to face the relegation/ winners from the higher division.

Show had its moments, with the funniest really being the nun and the granda - the aunt became pretty funny too as the show progressed.

Your doll Clare was really annoying as was Erin.

How many of the main cast would actually have a Derry accent though in reality?  Two of the girls and Dennis?

Dennis is a Strabane man.

if he is running as independent but has very strong connections to the irsp does that means hes an irsp proxy did he drop the drop the irsp from his campaign to get more votes from moderates maybe.

Not sure IF he became a MLA but his work as a Councillor has been very broad and fixing the general items on the ground. People in Strabane (like me) have massive issues with D and S council and their treatment of Strabane as a whole.
He has gone in and asked awkward questions of council and not towed the line as he has no party loyalty.

For example Strabane pays the highest rates in the north, we've no public park, roads are rubbish and services in general are s***e.

His manifesto is broadly similar to what he is doing at council.

Any Tyrone people on here know who Paul Gags Gallagher is standing in West Tyrone?.  Is he a disident republican candidate or what is the craic with him?

He comes from a prominent family in Strabane that includes both senior IRSP member Willie Gallagher as well as the Strabanimal.  He was an IRSP candidate before but started running independently a few years ago.  Seems to get things done for people in the area and is well respected.

He is a councilor in Strabane and Derry and has shook things up a bit. He's definitely getting a lot of support on the ground. Sinn Fein reckon he'll do them no harm. I think he'll take some first pref votes but the transfers will go to SF.

I enjoyed The Dumpling Library in St Annes Sq.
