British Universities GAA 2011/12
Talk to Me..
Group 1s games are 20mins e/w and group 2s are 15. Relatively even.

British Universities GAA 2011/12
PITCH ONE: EGB Spring Lane
UWIC
Glasgow Caley
Newcastle

PITCH TWO: EGB Holly Lane
LJMU 2nds
UCLAN
New York

PITCH THREE: Rugby
Bangor
Man Met
Glasgow Uni

PITCH FOUR: Coventry Holbrooks
Aberdeen
Uni of Liverpool
Heriot Watt

Think the Div 1 draw is good for the Liverpool Universities, particularly whoever tops that group, easier semi final potentially. Can't ever look past JMU, Hope or Napier. Rest of the teams are there to make up the numbers. Probably why Aberdeen dropped to Division 2. Going to be some cracking games in division 2. Very evenly matched.

its a bit unfair that the div 1 group 1 have only 2 games to play..... surely this will have a big influence on this championship....

looks like napier got a handy draw for the group stages..... who ever finishes top of the 2nd group should have a easy semi final also... doubt st marys r northtumbia will be up to the challenge of LJMU or HOPE

any views on who will win this yr?

London v Fermanagh NFL
Clearly 'intheno' u have never played at intercounty level and clearly have not experienced what a bond there is playing for your home county on top of that clearly your club team back home must be very poor with little or no bond if u can say that the bond is stronger over here at club level, thats pur and utter jibberish. Majority of club footballers do try over here, they make friends, have a bit of fun but thats it, they dont really really push themselves, die for their jersey and give it their all as they would at home. Another major issue why club and county bond is not as strong over here is because they recieve no support at all. where are all the club supporters, clubs dont have any support at all except the players and management on the sideline. Same can be said for county, the only time supporters show up is the last sunday in may for a good piss up in the good weather....im sorry folks but that is the harsh truth

Does anyone know the London team to play Fermanagh?

highly unlikely there will be anything on in Shoreditch. You'd be best to try Waxys but not sure if they show the league games

London v Fermanagh NFL
I do think this club bond thing is a bit of a myth, the club team I played with back home were challenging for the senior championship most years and as a team a lot of them just did not get on, there were various factions that did not mix and it was rare you'd ever see them out as a team.

London v Fermanagh NFL
Agree with Rockwall on every point bar fermanagh beating london out of the gate. I see it being a very tight affair and i would just shade fermanagh to take it by 2 points. I see london competing strongly in every league game this year. I fully agree with the county point, london is most players adopted county bar the 2 or 3 home grown lads. there will never be the same passion to play for your adopted county as your home, no matter how many bonding trips, nights out etc you go on. Its just built in to the psyche. Clubs are the same to a some extent. yes there is the strong bond that you are all away from home and pulling together for the adopted club, but does it compete with challenging for leagues or championships with ur relatives, childhood pals and a whole village/town/community behind you?? i dont think it does. just my opinion.

Any pubs around the shoreditch area that anyone knows of that will be showing the games?

Bumper Saturday on Premier Sports
Looks like a cracking Saturday evening on TV with Tyrone v Kildare Live at 5pm followed by Dublin v Kerry then Down v Donegal full match defferred! Hope they keep up this level of coverage!

Intercounty in Britain
Sigerson style competition with All-Britain Champions to play in Ireland before a Senior Provincial Championship tie, that would be an excellent reward

Well said, intheno

London v Fermanagh NFL
guys what Rocwall said is that the county bond isn't as strong, and I agree with him, you just don't get the presitge playing for London as you do for a county back home. Sadly I have known quite a few lads who were good enough but just couldn't be bothered going to play for London. I do get teh feeling this is slighlt changing though, with the hurlers doing well and with the footballers improving. But I do agree with the others that teh club bond here is very strong even if a lad just plays here for a couple of years.
As regards Sunday, I would have to go for Fermanagh, but with the few FBD games behind them I don't see London getting a hiding, they are not at the big disadvantage this year of starting the league without having played any games. I do think Fermanagh will be one of the teams to get promoted this year.

Well said intheno, what a stupid remark.

As for Sunday, reckon Fermanagh by five.

rockwall you have clearly never played football over here, or if you did you must have had a bad experience. The club I play for here is full of lads who remark that the bond with our club is something they have never experienced in Ireland.

Intercounty in Britain
Cheers for the views lads, A sigerson style weekend or even running the games every two weeks would give more merit, and at least start to create a greater emphasis on the intercounty scene in Britain. The cost is always the major stumbler so its understandable. However it would give lads an opportunity to play more than just 1 or 2 county games (or until they are knocked out of the junior championship). Maybe I am wrong on the issue, but its worth a look.

London Hurling Club
I recently moved to Guildford and I'm looking to play hurling this year. Can anybody tell me the closest hurling club to Guildford? Or the easiest to commute to?
