O'Byrne Cup 2009 - The Real All-Ireland

[thejuice]

Meath          1-17
Westmeath  0-07

I think we will definitely win the All-Ireland this year.

Yeah, sure crown us now. 

I dont know if you should be worried or happy that a team is playing well during the O'Byrne Cup. Like Jaysus lads its only January. Decent result considering we havent been training.

T'was cold down in Offaly today, but was impressed by 14 O'Brian for Dublin

Were yous paying any heed to the ban over there in Mordor at all??? Very noticable difference of levels of fitness between the teams. Alan Claffey showed well and was one of the newcomers to make his mark, corner back in the John Keane mould. Clarke and Browne showed promise as well and hopefully we can have a bit of a run in the shield & give them more game time...

In Longford, it's usually the highlight of our year.

Surely that's the Shield?

Lukie Dempsey will surely be going for a third with the Carla men... Meath must be kicking themselves at the missed opportunity

[Shamrock Shore]

The 'bihatimber' competiton is Luke's for the taking. Will he be able to keep the 'bihatimber' for ever if he wins it for a third time?

However if Laois decide to concentrate on defending it then, who knows.

Did we actually win it last year,I know we were suppose to play Kildare but did it ever go ahead?

[Shamrock Shore]

Amazingly Laoislad the 'bihatimber' was awarded to Laois after Kildare decided they couldn't be arsed playing the final

We played for it in the last game of the league last year and again it was a draw so it was shared. Over to yee now lads!!

the glaring ommission of Longford's 2006 (cough) triumph (  )makes me want to axe Laureleye to pen a letter to The Times as he is better at that sort of thing.

Bask in the glow of belated success Laoislad. If it's on the Leinster official GAA site it must be true

just to say to any wicklow fans, dublin are playing their u21 side on sunday. It is a 21 side missing 7 of its best players. Why we are doing so is unfortunately beyond everyon'e comphrehension.

[AZOffaly]

Is that the same side that played against Offaly INDIANA?

[INDIANA]

all of them are not involved unless there is a massive u turn . Effectively we will be playing tyrone with no match behind us because a half strength u21 team won't beat wicklow. Just staggered.
