Fixture is confirmed. Throwing in at 7pm on Saturday week.

7pm will give a few more a chance to attend. Much preferable to a 2pm start.

Id like to see a pipe band at the next game , I thought it was badly missed the last day and would add to the atomsphere in the ground and great to hear Amhran Na bhFiann been played by a band. I could be wrong but is there not a band in Mountbolus that used to provide music before the big games. Maybe times have moved on and im living in the past !!

Some of the Mount Bolus band have moved on as well truth be told.

That was a cracking tenor sing the anthem on Sunday. From Ferbane as well. Normally a place with about as much culture as a pot of yogurt! :wink:

Pipe Band for Amhrainn na bhFiann, Simon Casey & Brendan Keeley to belt out a few tunes, open a bar after the game under the stand (with extension!!), and a win over the Blah's what could be better.
On that note, wonder will Carolls Ham be doing a Ham Blah with the Waterford based bread roll??? Could be a nice little money spinner for them! :P

James McGrath is refereeing, according to gaa.ie.

Sexton is doing Antrim v the Dublin / Wexford losers. That feeling that you've dodged a bullet.

The tenor in question was Joe Maher, a fine young footballer too, played with Offaly seniors in the League and is still a Leaving Cert student!

There is encouraging news that del morkan was back training last night for the first time since being injured. A crucial player if they are to continue in the championship

Yes Waterford is a tough draw but vital its a home venue which gives us a great chance.If we can pull off a win it will be two good competitive games and dont think we should fear anyone after that.

Just hear that Parlon is almost sure to be out for Saturday.

Word from Waterford is O Halloran and Shane Walsh is definitely out. Nagle is no better than 50/50 to play on Saturday

All humours. what the true is, god knows.
