Photo: Hogan Stand (INPHO/Donall Farmer) I know you’ll have made your New Year’s resolution to get to every single one of our matches this year and although such plans might already have bitten the dust with a less than 100% attendance rate for the FBD campaign, your already flagging resolve may have this week been boosted by the arrival of […]
The campaign launched by @maigheoforsam that I mentioned yesterday appears to have borne fruit: Mayo GAA announced on Twitter earlier this morning that agreement has now been reached with Croke Park, Setanta (who are showing the match live) and the Dublin County Board to shift the throw-in time of our NFL Division One match with the Dubs at McHale Park […]
I’ve just done the draw for the grand prize in the Setanta competition and the lucky winner is Patrick Rochford. Patrick wins a year’s free subscription via satellite to Setanta Sports. Congrats to Patrick and thanks to everyone else who entered over the course of the league campaign. In the interests of (limited) transparency I did an audioboo of the […]
It’s almost the end of the line as regards the two prediction competitions that have been running here on the site since early February to coincide with this year’s NFL. While it’s not yet time to declare victors in either of the two competitions just yet, it’s certainly the case that the eponymous fat lady is starting to clear her […]
I predict it’s going to be a belter of a weekend weatherwise though, if these lads are to be believed, it might not be time just yet for packing away the winter woollies. Hopefully the unseasonably charitable weather we’ve been enjoying these last few days will mean that a nice dry sod will be sitting atop the stony grey soil […]
Okay, it’s results time on the weekend’s predictions, where we’ve got another weekly winner in the Setanta competition to reveal as well as a bit of a shake-up in the mini-league leaderboard. The Setanta competition first, where this week’s winner is Edwin McGreal. I was speaking with Ed on Sunday evening and he told me he had Jason Doherty backed […]
What with bank stress tests, Fools’ Day and thoughts about the upcoming weekend to consider, it’d be easy to forget about those predictions for the weekend games so here’s a quick reminder: don’t forget to do them. There are still two places to be claimed in the draw for the year’s sub via satellite to Setanta Sports, with the added […]
One other loose end I didn’t manage to get around to yesterday was the outcome of the two predictions competitions which need to be reported on following last weekend’s fifth round of NFL matches so, a bit later than usual, here are the details. Brian Gallagher is the weekly winner in the Setanta competition, having got closer than anyone else […]
For those of you still wondering if today is Monday or Friday (and, to be sure, there a bit of both about the day today) the fact that it’s weekend prediction time should help to clear up any confusion you might still have. There’s a full slate of matches again this weekend and your facetheball mini-league predictions need to be […]
Time to reveal what’s happened with the Setanta competition and the mini-league arising from the weekend’s results. First, the Setanta competition where this week’s winner is Paul McCaffrey. Paul wins the weekly prize of a copy of Breandán Ó hEithir’s wonderful book Over The Bar and his name also goes into the hat for the overall prize of a year’s subscription […]
