Re: the Ga yeah the hurling.....great game.......pity only a few teams can contest it....i think DJ is coming back...he played a friednly game there a while back...and he didnt do to badly the Tipp-Lim game is a hard one to call........Limerick look half decent
Re: the Ga I watched Cavan vs Down on Setanta (I think, I watched some match and I am pretty sure it was that). Wasnt much in it I dont think, though it was pretty late at night, so I wasnt paying much attention
Re: the Ga i agree but try to think of it as somethin to watch while you are waiting for the world cup to begin
Re: the Ga What I remember when I tried messing around with my brother's hurling stick was how damn heavy it was. I was but a little girl then though.
Re: the Ga I've watched with non-Irish, who are fascinated by a) the lack of diving. b) you need to nearly have your head hacked off to be awarded a free kick.
Re: the Ga oh man it aint like that anymore the Ga usually copy the football anyway nowadays you see diving in the Gaelic......esp from the northern teams..... and its easy to get a free now....just fall to the ground when you are surrounded by a few defenders........ re.....westmeath v offaly........ref gave off 5 very dodgy frees
Re: the Ga I fast forwarded through most of that match the Limerick vs Tiperarry match was a great one though, Limerick came out of the gates fast with 2 goals in the first 10 minutes, then Tiperarry came back with an onslaught, great game
Re: the Ga well the hurling is a different thing good news today.........my brother made the county team!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in the bogball
Re: the Ga Obviously Im not acquanted with "the bogball". I assume it is a midlands county, but which is it?

Re: the Ga 2 great results this week in the hurling........didnt expect westmeath to beat dublin.........dublin were aweful........no balls at all!!! how the hell did New York manage that one!!! jetlag for derry? BUT there are problems..........some new yourl players are scared that if they travel to the final in antrim or whereever ...they might not get the visa to return to the big apple AND antrim have refused to play them in new york.......a tough one to sort out for the GAA!!! maybe london will beat mayo in the football!!
Re: the Ga Why do New York even enter the competition if they cant even travel to play in Ireland. Quite a skrewup on the GAA's part.
Re: the Ga According to today's Irish Times the game definately won't be played in Belfast on June 4th in any case - the New York board reckon that they can't organise flights & accomodation 'at such short notice' It's probably going to end up as a forfeit.
