I remember because I was there and when you posted the set someone else thought you had photoshopped that one.

This has been my 1st year giving photography a go, so I'd just like to thank all the other snappers on this site for all the tips, advice and chats at matches during the year. Its a bloody addictive hobby

Anyways, here are a few of my favourite shots from 2009

Noel McGee uses Jim Sheridan as a park bench


CCFL action, Monksland United v Haywary Celtic


Stephen Place collides with Darren Quigley

This is a great photo 'Dessie Dolan keeps his eye on the ball'

I play snooker, and you have to 'Keep you eye on the ball at all times'

so, thats a great pic
