Sambo & Woody were approached by the Antrim players to put their names forward this year - i think that speaks volumes for the high regard Jingo was held in.

Regards the selection committee - the non-hurling members would have every right to be there for a different perspective and if the creggan member is who i'm thinking of then the candidates will have had little chance to try and bullshit their way into the job!

This doesnt look to be a panel of 24 so id say it's just a training squad and will be drastically cut in the new year.

Congratulations to Clooney Gaels (JHC) and Ruairi Óg (SHC) on making it a clean sweep of Ulster Hurling titles for Antrim Clubs.

Mickey Moran to manage top Antrim club side
10 November 2006


The former Mayo, Derry, Donegal and Sligo team-manager Mickey Moran is to take over the managerial reins at Antrim Division One side, Creggan Kickhams next season.

Derry-born Moran one of the top GAA coaches in the country, guided Mayo to the All-Ireland SFC final against Kerry this season in which they lost to the Kingdom, and has also had outstanding success at club and inter-county levels over the years in various counties. He hopes to combine the post of Creggan Kickhams team-manager with his duties as manager of the University of Ulster, Jordanstown Sigerson Cup side.

Creggan Kickhams players and officials are delighted that Moran will be involved in a managerial role with them next season.

Dunloy was on the other board posting that St. Galls have been awarded the title.

Anyone at Tullyglass last night for the presentation dinner - saw a couple of posts on the old board that Sidearse made a complete tit out of himself as MC for the night.

McKeague's probably backing him to the hilt on expenses   The man has more connections than an Eircom Switchboard
