Dunno, no contest in the semi for Clare, a good tough game for the Yellabellies. Throw the 3 in a row expectation into the mix. An oul wet day in Sept. I can see it goin only one way. :-)

Clare are a mile ahead of both of them in u21, we hammered Galway aswell last year in the semi. I would be awful surprised if we lost. There was no let up in play and right to the final whistle there was hooks and blocks going in despite the huge lead the had racked up and that to me says they are hungry for it. We already beat the only real contenders in tipp I think after an serious battle that took us to extra time in Cusack park. The u21 management seem to get more out of this bunch than the senior management too

Ok, I'll give you the management set-up it top of the range.
But it's easy block n hook when you're ten points ahead. My granny would would block and hook then :-)

Nah, it's Wexford's All Ireland to lose. A point a man.

PS. I may or may not have consumed half a bottle of the good stuff :^)

No. That was a good while back.
I'm currently trying to watch Fr Ted and get rid of a bottle of poitin.
The sangria episode will never be repeated. Though having said that, I went to a house party this time last year and ran amok on Captain Morgan's.
It appears I'll never learn!

Oh jesus. Captain Morgan and I have had many a good time. Think I'm getting a bit old for that now though......think I've lived through enough shenanigans in my lifetime already.

Although, have started making all the sailboat/kayaking and climbing plans for the winter. Lough Derg, Clare, the Shannon and a couple others are being hit in October. Perhaps I should stock up on that cheap poitin!!:pac:

In Sligo for the weekend. Climbed Benbulban today. Stunning views.



Climbed Knocknarea yesterday. Stunning views there too.

Have 11 and 6 year olds in tow so it takes us a little longer than most.

Gods county Brian,:D
when did you climb knocknarea Brian, I did the warriors run yesterday which involved running up and down said mountain as well as a 10k road run,

Crap day here. Went to out farm this morning and found a young calf with a lump the size of a hurling ball on his lower jaw. It wasn't there yesterday!!! Had to bring them all down to a bit a pen and get him and the cow out. Will ring the vet in the morning. Checking the ewes, I only check them at the weekend as the auld man minds them during the week, couldn't do it yesterday, found a ewe hiding in the ditch, feckin sore on her foot, so had to round them up, then found another that had mastitis. She will be for the mart now. So much for a relaxing Sunday:D

Just had a real sh1tty week. Everything went wrong. Started with heifer with Blackleg. We never ever had a case ot it here. She fell into a trench trying to get up. Only her head showing when I found her. Had to pull her out on my own with a loader and strap. She died the following day , of course.
Then a wheel blew out on the Ifor Williams on the motorway. Didn't exaclty blow, but about one foot peeled back on the grip. Spotted it when the plastic mudguard flew up into the air. Luckily had timber saw in the jeep and managed to cut off the peeled bit and got home eventually.
Yesterday then young pull scouring almost pure water. Suspected cocccidiosis so having to round him up every day now for injections.
You get really fed up with it all when things start to go wrong.

Blackleg is a bitch alright, do all the stock that stay around the home place with blackleg, but brought a cow home that we were culling, just forget to inject her calf, went out one morning and he was four legs up!
