Have you a list of who is entered so far RGS?

Reckon a lot of people are going to have similar big name players, so it will be some lesser lights who will make the difference
My forwards are:

Half forward1: TYR - Tommy McGuigan
Half forward2: MON - Paul Finlay
Half forward3: DER - Mark Lynch
Full forward1: ARM - Steven McDonnell
Full forward2: MON - Tommy Freeman
Full forward3: DER - Paddy Bradley

I have no Fermanagh, no Cavan, no Down and no Antrim men named $:-\$

mountainboii · May 11, 2009, 02:56:27 PM

My team

Manager: TYR - Mickey Harte
Captain: TYR - Sean Cavanagh
Goalkeeper: FER - Ronan Gallagher
Full back1: ARM - Brendan Donaghy
Full back2: MON - Vincent Corey
Full back3: TYR - Ryan McMenamin
Half back1: ARM - Aaron Kernan
Half back2: DOW - Aidan Carr
Half back3: TYR - Davy Harte
Midfield1: MON - Dick Clerkin
Midfield2: TYR - Enda McGinley
Half forward1: MON - Paul Finlay
Half forward2: DOW - Danny Hughes
Half forward3: TYR - Tommy McGuigan
Full forward1: ARM - Steven McDonnell
Full forward2: TYR - Sean Cavanagh
Full forward3: MON - Tommy Freeman

Decided to try to not spread it about as much as I could and just hope the teams I did pick from did well. This meant leaving Derry players off the team, and having no Paddy Bradley

This is very much down to luck though, you could have a load of Tyrone men who maybe get to a semi-final but come through 3 or 4 low scoring dogfights, and those lads could be outscored by a few Cavan or Down men who notch up a load of points hammering London and Carlow in the qualifiers $:-\$

No Derry players AFS?? Are you expecting them to suffer a first round defeat to Monaghan, then make no impact in the qualifiers? Strange decision, but on the other hand, I can see where you are coming from.

Did you get my pm Sniper, am I entered?

Yes Corn, you're in. Sorry can't get back to everyone, there's a fair few entered. Gonna extend the deadline until tomorrow evening so anyone who has entered in the gaelic life comp and wants to join our private league, simply PM me your real name and your team name and you're sucking diesel! About 40 entered so far.

When I started picking the team it wasn't I wasn't particularly opposed to having a few Derry lads, but the way this thing works I reckon you're best trying to minimise the number of teams you pick from. I originally had Doherty and Paddy Bradley in, but to get the number of teams down I stuck McDonnell and Clerkin in instead. Was easier to cut those two Derry lads than my Armagh or Monaghan picks because there were loads of good options to pick from in the FF and midfield lines.

They're printing all 1250 entrants names this week so Ziggy will at least see his name once in Gaelic Life

1250 entrants is a modest enough number in my opinion

full back · May 12, 2009, 04:43:42 PM

Every week during the championship, we'll calculate your weekly score and print the top positions in Gaelic Life. Don't worry if you don't feature every week as there will be spot prizes, county prizes, private league prizes plus the overall prizes once the last Ulster team exits or wins the All Ireland Football Championship.

We are starting this Friday by publishing all 1,250 entries in Gaelic Life with an update on how the scoring works.

Don't forget to buy Gaelic Life this Friday and every Friday for your weekly Championship update plus we will be launching our highly successful Forecast the 9 county club champions during the next month.

Thought some of the club championships have already started

i went with davy harte as my captain. always good for a few scores a game from half back

winsamsoon · May 13, 2009, 02:18:11 PM

lads i have registered and all with the gaelic life but i can't seem to access my team to forward it to the sniper for the private one. when i go onto the link it just gives me the table for the national league one. Anyone got a link that i can find them?

??

Correct me if I'm wrong but Sniper doesn't need your team make up , he only requires your team name and Board name (under which you post)?

FermPundit · May 13, 2009, 10:44:36 PM

RedandGreenSniper, do you have a list of all entrants to the GAA board league?

RedandGreenSniper · May 13, 2009, 10:50:53 PM

I'll have a list up tomorrow of all the entrants. Around 40 I think offhand. I think I'm the only non Ulster entrant

I'm surprised at that. Would many people in Mayo buy the Gaelic Life?

RedandGreenSniper · May 13, 2009, 11:16:13 PM

A few would alright. When I say only non Ulster entrant I mean in the board comp, not overall! I presume it should be a given that I'll be finishing below the rest of ye so
