The winning club will receive 10,000 Euro You can imagine how many clubs went forward for this competition, consequently , provincial winners were selected I am very PROUD to say that my own club EMMET DRUMBARAGH in Meath will be representing Leinster in the competition.

    The following are extracts from our application
    ‘We are a young , ambitious club, trying to improve so it can help the wider community ‘
    ‘a new committee has been appointed with the average age of the members under 30’
    ‘We have also come back from losing two young star players through tragedy .It is their memory that Spirit of the Club has risen and become more determined to succeed , more determined to win and more determined to embrace and build a true a GAA Community spirit of which we are immensely proud of’ ‘

    To vote, textClub 3 to 53306 (ROI) or  81108 (NI) Being in the final four is a fantastic honour, Emmet Drumbaragh deserve more, they literally are, the heart and soul of the community. Thanks for voting.

    aidan and the italian weather ladiesSometimes you have to give your mates a plug. aidan is one of my oldest friends and one of the best musicians I know.

    aidan and his Belgian band, The Italian Weather Ladies play the Cobblestone, Smithfield, Dublin, next Friday, December 17th . Doors are at 8pm and admission is a measly 8 euro.

    Support on the evening will be provided by Sligo songwriter Kevin Ryan (aka to sing to ghosts – www.myspace.com/kevinryanmusic), so get in early!
