Down to business

Ok, the fun of the All-Ireland 7s is over.... time for the real deal again.

Desertmartin in the big league game on Sunday, the championship final will have to wait, even if the parish is gettin geared up with bunting, flags and the Greenlough 'Mean Machine' on display outside the club - some bit of work lads... we'll have to get an old pic up here soon - credit to snowy and beaver for the body work, and the berg for the art!!

No doubt about it, 2 league points is all that matters at this stage.

With all remaining league games away, and trips up into the wilds of craigbane, drumsurn and slaughtmanus ahead, we have to win the game closest to home and keep it going. All this chat about Greenlough being the inform team will count for feck all if we dont win at least another 2 or 3 league games and it starts on Sunday...

Trainin the other night was a killer as them boys who dandered about on Saturday got to have a rest, come on wee man, not like they were playin in an All-Ireland or the like.... thought i was gonna boke the old ringer up at one stage, that mg driving eejit was trying to kill me with all that running, and beating of heads... but sure if it means we are ready for the week ahead it will be worth it... will just have to take one less spud before trainin the night, otherwise the auld dinner will be fertilising jimmy's nicely cut field again.

cmon the lough!

All-Ireland Champions... almost!

Bloody dodgy referee!!! Would have had an auld All-Ireland title back at the club this morning if it wasnt for a completely biased wee jobsworth... rippin. Was hard enough to take losing an all-ireland final, but to lose like that was just a kick in the balls.
A brilliant achievement for the lads, dunno how they managed to survive so much football in one day, a few sore bodies for a day or too no doubt.

Some great football played, and no doubt the best team there on the day.

The support wasnt bad either, even if some of the fellas didnt really come dressed like the rest of us and thought our new team colours were blue!

Well down to Mars on winning player of the tournament, or the energiser bunny as some of the ratoath crowd kept calling him. The lad should take it easy, all that running makes the rest of us look bad!
Old captain for the day didnt do too bad either... top scorer on the field, and had a lady admirer from the first game who wanted to know who he was and why she had never heard of him! Obviously his reputation didnt stretch to Meath!

All in all a great day's craic, just a pity some referees just ignore the rules at times and decide to be bias.

We know we deserved it and that's all that matters... now for the Derry Championship again... no chance we're losing any more finals this year!

Up the LOUGH!!
