I heard dean Kelly had a great game alright..scored 0-3 from open play I think? He grew up on my road - good to see a gaels man doing well:)

Would I also be right in saying that our league games are in croker this year instead of Parnell park? Part of some spring series?

Part of some spring series?   Yea i was impressed with Dean Kelly. A tidy footballer and i hope he gets a fair chance from gilroy too. I am from Donaghmede and its great to see a gaels man on the panel.   All 4 of dublin's  football league games in football and 2 hurling games are in croke park. Most of the games are under lights. A season ticket will cost you €45 for 6 games. €20 for a child.   Dublin Hurlers bet Antrim today on a score line 2-13 to 12pts. Dublin didn't score for 25 minutes of the first half. A pretty poor game but Keaney and Rhino linked up well on the hakf forward line.  We face galway in the next round.

Hope to make it to Croke for the Dublin v Down and Kilkenny v Dublin double bill. Reckon there will be a decent enough crowd for that one at least.

Fifteen changes for Mayo

Mayo keeper Kenneth O'Malley

21 January 2011

Mayo manager James Horan has named a completely new team to face Roscommon in Sunday's FBD Connacht FL game.

Not one of the players who lined out in the 2-8 to 1-5 win against NUIG last Saturday have been included as Horan tries out all the available talent at his disposal ahead of the league starting in February.

Mayo FBD Connacht FL v Roscommon) - Kenneth O'Malley, Keith Higgins, David Killeen, Eoghan Reilly, Trevor Howley, Lee Keegan, Ruadiri O'Connor, Barry Moran, James Kilcullen, Ian Rowland, Cathal Freeman, Andrew Farrell, Enda Varley, Mark Ronaldson, Brian Benson

FBD League: Ronaldson on song for Mayo

23 January 2011

Mayo 1-12
Roscommon 0-8

Mayo produced a five-star second-half performance this afternoon at Ballyhaunis to eclipse Connacht champions Roscommon and move closer to a place in the FBD League final.

Mark Ronaldson was the star of the show for the hosts, who trailed by 0-7 to 0-6 at half-time in this encounter after the early scores of Jonathan Dunning, Kevin Higgins and Donal Shine for the Rossies.

Three minutes into the restart though Ronaldson struck for the game's only goal when he demonstrated his soccer skills to round the Roscommon 'keeper and tap to the empty net.

The score gave James Horan's men the lead and their stern defence would only concede one more point - from Fintan Cregg - afterwards, as the would-be winners dominated until the long whistle, with Ronaldson, Enda Varley and Aidan Kilcoyne all putting up scores to secure a possible final meeting with John Maughan's NUIG.
