Interestingly I wasn't intending to bring up a discussion on the Parish Rule but the minute I submitted the message I knew what was coming. Maybe this is very cyncial but I've always looked upon big amalgamtions and divisional teams as gimmicks to win more championships. It all looks very good on pa...

This is going to sound crazy after Tullamore's great win in the hurling but no team other than Clara, Rhode or the Blues has won the Football Championhsip since 2001. I was just thinking that I couldn't see another team other than the 3 afforementioned clubs winning a title within the next ten years...

Perfect summary of the match Magpie. Anton's display was superb. His ability to read and judge a game is remarkable for a lad of his age. Well done Rhode. Deserving winners of the Minor Football Championship 2009.

Agree with you LS. For me it's K/K by 10 points or Tullamore winning a close match by 1 or 2 points.

A superb interview with Damien Fox on today's Sindo . Would someone mind posting it up please? I knew he hurled Under 21 with Joe Dooley and Mick Coughlan and those, but I never did the sums. He's 48!! He was mascot in 1964 when he was 3, the paper printed the team photo and he's there!! I remember...

I'd imagine Clara would have to win at least 75% of the ball in midfield to win this one as their backs just couldn't handle the Rhode forwards for the whole game. Thats a big ask though. To be honest its the only way I think a team can beat Rhode at this stage, in Offaly anyway.

They hardly have a smaller pick than Birr do they? 4 football clubs equates to about 150 GAA players. A small pick indeed. As a matter of interest when were the Gaels formed? And what were they called beforehand or have they always been about?

Well done to Tullamore. Fully deserved victory over the 60 mins. Just looked like a better hurling team than Birr on the day. Oh and can any of the Tullamore lads confirm, as was rumoured after the match, that a certain Kevin Egan article was used a motivation factor? PS. Best of luck to Birr interm...
