Bump, one in already folks! Get them in and please!!

Would they host a challenge match for our home club ?

Shameless bump!

After an initial burst of enthusiam we have ground to a shuddering halt! Please afford Amsterdam GAC the same respect shown to Fulham Irish, PJ Ward and Philip Jordan! This is your segment, if you don't use it, you will lose it!

You may be a victim of your own success here BE. Very hard to follow Philly Jordan's excellent effort.

It will be the last one if so Par!

I'll get a few in over the weekend BE. It'll be great to get a perspective on all things GAA from an ex-pat perspective.

working on it BE - dont worry we wont let you down. This is an excellent feature of the website and one i hope doesnt disappear anytime soon.
