Are the 3 jones living in the village?"
Don't know they're hard to keep up with.

Tom Prior looked very good for DCU tonight as they progressed to the Sigerson cup semi final.

With Prior, Honeyman and Beirne Leitrim have the firepower to cause plenty of problems to Div 3 defences.

best of luck of both clubs anyway."
Interesting, any idea why it was disbanded if it appears to be working and neither club currently have the resources to go their own? Would have thought Bmore had it but would understand if Kiltubrid do not, could be wrong but I think Annaduff are the only club outside of a town that do not amalgamate at any level and have not done so in recent times

As much as I hate to say it you have to admire Annaduff. While times are good for them now at underage they spent years playing in division 3s and 11 aside competitions yet they never amalgamated.
While I am not saying every club should go on their own you have to respect the commitment Annaduff have to ensuring that every young player coming through only ever has to wear one jersey. THEIR OWN

Hard enough to keep everyone happy within a club. I'd say an almagamation must be a nightmare. This type of arrangement probably has a shelf life so hopefully it has been beneficial to the players that have come through.

Annaduff have probably the biggest population of the non town teams.

There's a post that gives cause for optimism. We have the forwards even with the few gone away and Poacher might have a few systems to tighten things up in defense. It sounds like Clare were still in the dressing room for the first 20minutes but then worked a lot of goal chances only for the Antrim keeper to have a stand out day.
I hope we travel in good numbers as usual. I have a feeling this could be a gettable 2pts on the road. As Séamus O'Rourke put it on Tommy Tiernan, you have to have hope of a win travelling to these places.
Good luck to the team on Sunday.
