interesting start to the season last weekend. oisins put up a good fight against mitchells but dont think they really take it that seriously at this stage of the season so cant read to much into that.
st lawrences had only 6 players against brendans, apparently they had a stag doo the night before- come on lads, first game of the season and they cant even field a team, would be better if they just folded if they are gonna be at that craic for the rest of the season, waste of time for the rest of the teams puttin the effort in!
st anns racked up a big score, possibly puts down the claims that they are in the doldrums!!!!!
any truth in the rumour that st peters have signed up 2 former meath county players?!

Did the IOM travel over and play St Lawrenses on Saturday in the junior league?

does anyone think that there should be a mini 1 day comp around april time 13 a side for 15 mins each way - just to get everyone interested and get the competition going?

start at 10am finish in the evening - all manchester teams and JM?

well said 14 yard free, maybe a 7's competition, most teams could put in 2 teams. would be good to get the fitness up for the summer!

Lads therer already is a 7 a side competition. The winners go on to play in the all-Britain 7's in Birmingham. I think clubs are allowed to enter 2 teams if they have the numbers.

I believe the county board have worked on trying to get the length of the season reduced as it has ran on way too long in the past. For that reason I would be against another competition being introduced. Theres already senior league, senior championship, junior league, junior championship, pennine league, wolfetone league and lancashire 7's. We'll be sick lookin at the other teams without another cup trown into the mix!

Not sure of a date horsebox. I think its usually during early summer, but I cant see the 7's mentioned on the lancashire fixture list.

Maybe the Anns lads are just working on their reflexes and co-ordination skills lol... Why what was meant to have happened?

On St.Anns, i watched them beat Oisins Juniors on Sunday evening.
They looked fairly well bonded to be honest and after talkin to their manager i believe all but two of them are manchester born...
Looks like their underage set-up is proving dividends, they had a very young squad, mainly all U21...
Oisins were missing quite a few but would have thought they had more than enough experienced heads to deal with the younger St.Anns players....Are St.Anns Oisins bogey Team?? (last few years championship?????)
Good to see St.Ann's! Keep the good work up, lets hope the other clubs in Lancashire can bring through young players with the same commitment and passion.

Yeah that was a good win for Annes juniors alright, they musta showed the right sorta fight, on the pitch! They have had the best results in bringing through youth players in the county, so fair play to them and long may it continue.

Good shout abt Annes being Oisins bogie team, that certainly looks to be the case!

Anyone with thoughts or predictions for this weekends fixtures?

Div 1-
Lawrences v CuChulainns
Oisin v Brothers Pearse
John Mitchels v St Brendans

Div 2-
Young Irelanders v St Peters (Sat)
St Annes v Hugh O'Neills

Heard a lot of the Brendans lads are on a stag do this weekend and are struggling to get a team together

BigTom2050 (Tipperary) - Posts: 289 - 24/03/2010 10:10:14    597094

Can someone set me striaght here...
Did St.Brendans field at all in senior level against Mitchels last year?
If so what was (roughly) the score, if my memory serves me correct they pulled outta these games....
Not sure of the reasons why... fear of heavy defeats I expect would have payed a part.........

predictions for division 1 this weekend:
cuchulainns to beat laurences well
brothers to beat oisins by a couple
jm to beat brendans (margin of victory depends if this stag doo is on or not)

Did the Junior lge game of St Peters vs Chester take place? Or is another season of Peters entering a junior team and then failing to field?

My predictions for this weekend: Div 1: Cuchulainns to win by 10/12 pts, Oisins to win by 4/5 pts, JM to win by 7/8 pts. Div 2: St. Peters to win by 10/12 pts, HON to win by 2/3 pts, SBH to win by 5/6 pts. I'll see if I can get as close as 'Yer man's predictions and then we'll see who's predictions were the best at the end of the year!! LOL
