JUST like that, the championship has not only crept up on us but it is well and truly in full swing. We are three games down in the Ulster Championship and it really sparked into life last Sunday in Omagh. The previous games involving Armagh and Antrim and Derry and Fermanagh went relatively to script […]
In my last column four weeks ago, I remarked how the upcoming National League games at that time could be compared to ‘moving day’ in the golf majors. Since that weekend there has been another two rounds of the National League with another one left. As it stands now, there is still plenty to play […]
RORY Gallagher referred to the weekend past and this weekend coming as ‘moving day’ in the National League, similar to what they talk about in day three of the golf majors where the pack starts to take shape and all the runners and riders start to either look up or down depending on where they […]
IF at first you don’t succeed, try again. That is what both Glen and Dunloy would have felt in the last 10 days. All I can say to both is fair play. Both don the green and gold and are within 15 mile from my home-place Glenullin, albeit Dunloy is just across the border in […]
THE month of December is upon us and WhatsApp groups up and down the country will be raging hot with messages of plans and organisation of the new season ahead. For some this will be a welcome notification as the urge to get back out onto the field and right the wrongs from last season […]

In 2007 we had a fantastic Monday Club and for those of you who know Glenullin, our club is perfectly set up for it. We have a fantastic […]
THERE has been raging debate in the last few weeks around the issue of the age grades in the GAA. The biggest controversy centres around the minor age grade, formerly u-18 but now u-17. The GAA changed this three years ago and even now, the reasoning for changing it has never been made clear in […]
THE managerial merry-go-round is in full swing at the moment at county level. County board delegates are meeting in smoke-filled back rooms, curtains closed, under cover of darkness and a special knock to get in. The veil of secrecy thrown over some of these processes is akin to waiting on white smoke coming from the […]
DEPENDING on who you listen to or who you tune into – or out from in this case – you would nearly think the GAA season is over. Well in the 11 days prior to this publication on Thursday, August 11, I will have attended four games (two u-17 and two senior), took part in […]
MOVING day in golf is the third round of four in a tournament. It’s the day whereby players maneuvre themselves into position before the final day to try to set them up for one final push, or to maybe cement a position to try to hold onto. Well the same can be said for this […]
