Sun. 10.15. There is a good pic. of the scene of the presentation of the Connacht Cup in C'Bar on the 'Stolen Sheep' web site......plus early celebratory comments....
Sun. 9.15pm: Congrats to Roscommon and all associated with the team on their fine win in Castlebar today. It was just a great performance and there were mnay heroes...like old times. Sligo had done a lot of the hard work in Connacht by beating Mayo and Galway. They thought, maybe, they had done it just for themselves but they had in fact done it for Ros. as well. It is a pity really that it had to be against Sligo as there is no animosity or whatever between Sligo and Ros. here in Boyle. So hopefully the Cloonloo contingent can feel comfortable by coming to Boyle tonight and participate in the Ros. celebrations though they'll hardly read this encouragement. One thing about Sligo today, they had amazing support in C'Bar. Ros. supporters celebrated the winning of the Connacht title with gusto but we all hope that Sligo do well aganist Down and in the remainder of the campaign. Local players David Casey and Sean Purcell were just fantastic today......so well done lads....and Stephen Bohan must have run the equivalent of a marathon. Well done Fergie and Co.

3. I was delighted (small things sorta do that) to see a recycling bin near the dressing rooms filled in exemplary fashion on Wed. evening.

Tues. 1.30. I am going to try and tidy up the approach to this blog by using one page per week and adding in on top as things come to hand. I'd like the blog to be a good deal more interactive and add pics. etc but I'm afraid technology and time is, as they say in Cork; 'way ahead of ya boy'.
Congrats to the four lads from the club who represent Roscommon on the the U16 team this coming Saturday in Tuam v South West Mayo. They are Enda Smith, Brian Furey, Tadhg McKenna and Jason McDermot. With four on the minor panel also and a number of other U16s' who must have been very close it is a healthy sign for the future. Well done also to their U 16 coach Jonathan Conroy and co.
Don't forget the ticket sale arrangements for next Sun. as outlined below.

I have just had a query as follows: Is there anyone organising a bus, which might take some young people to the match in Castlebar on Sunday next?
I was shocked, disappointed and as a GAA person embarrassed by the events at the end of the Louth v Meath game on Sunday last. I hope that a thorough investigation takes place and there are consequences and results. One of these should be the elimination of pitch invasions at the end of games. This I am led to believe will require Dail legislation. It is in place in England. It surprises me that there was not an appropriate response to look after the referee at the end of the game. I have, from time to time, seen Gardai respond and immediately go to the referee at the end of games when it was felt there might be an issue. While they did respond yesterday the response was inadequate. Of course it shouldn’t be necessary but….Am I alone in having the feeling that since the retirement of Liam Mulvihill and Sean Kelly that the leadership at the top of the GAA has frayed somewhat?
