Afraid not.
I'd love to say I was, but Dublin eats my soul during the week I'm afraid.

Are St. Brandan's running out of steam?
I know Cistercian have been good this year, but I expected Brendan's to beat them by more than a point. On kilkennycats.com they're of the opinion that only Good Counsel stood between Kieran's and another AI, they don't seem to rate them at all either. Have we been too optimistic, or were Cistercian...

Rugby
The rugby dream died anyway yesterday! 16-6 to the Grammar. I wasn't there, but apparently Gallen had a lot of ball, but never really looked like penetrating. A good show from the forwards, good lineout, but much like the football, struggling to replace the flash strike runners that they had last ye...

Full Back
As you say, I've argued the case for Whelehan before, and I still would. I think he's still the best in the country in a tight space, it wouldn't put a premium on speed and fitness, and he could read the game and lead the team spiritually if not with an armband from back here. It's hard to know what...

Thomas Coughlan
I'd say you'll see Thomas all right - possibly in the half forward line allowing Niall Mac to move in, although David Egan will also be a contender for that. To be honest I wouldn't have O'Grady on the team at the moment. I've no idea what the rugby story is, but he'd be a close call even with the 1...

Re: Offaly team
I wonder have the management decided McNamara's skyed kickouts that blew back at him against Kerry are a red flag? If they have they're even more stupid than I thought. I remember Nowlan Park in 2002 (the draw) as much as anyone, but in general if management are picking a summer keeper on the stren...

Offaly team
You're a petty, petty man, BnaM. To quote Samuel L, " The Sun even shines on a Dog's ass some days..." Seriously, (because any thread on Clara supremacy couldn't be serious), Joe Quinn is certainly worth a run, and I'm glad to see him picked. As you say he should bring a lot of good things...

I would imagine that the schools game wasn't to the forefront of the selector's mind to be honest. I'd suspect that full back is one position which could be an issue on this team (slightly worrying seeing as Joe Sheridan is up next) so they took one of the few chances to try him out. I thought he di...

Gallen CS
I think it's just a little bit easier to sell Gallen CS to the environs than Ferbane CS! Certainly when Banagher amalgamate they'll compete for the hearts and souls of Cloghan and the Bridge, so I think the idea is that this is more of a "Community" school than a school located in a big to...

Improvement needed
Tis true about them needing to pick it up a bit more from now on, but with that said, Munster have been the dominant province in this for years, and with Kanturk beaten and Ballygawley knocked out of Ulster you do get the feeling it is now or never. At the risk of inflating certain heads (:D ) there...

Woo agus Hoo!
Not much I can say about Rynagh's, but a great weekend for Ferbane! (and district :P ) For those who didn't hear the score, it was Gallen 2-9, Ballymahon 1-9. I have to say I thought it was a thoroughly deserved win, for the backs in particular who were absolutely magnificent. They started the game ...

Kilkenny 0-5 Offaly 3-22
(Usual story, it'll give ye the jump by two days I suppose! :D ) A win over Galway in a challenge match the previous Saturday established this panel of footballers as the most likely of all the Offaly intercounty teams in either code to garner some championship success for the county in 2005.
