Bhuel a chairde agus fáilte arais chuig an Saffron Óg as Gaeilge! Hi, and a big warm welcome back to all the readers of Saffron Óg! Mí an Mheithimh is a very busy time in the hurling and football calender, as we all know very well! We have An Chraobh Iomána agus An Chraobh Peile.
Whose your tip to win Liam Mac Carthaigh this year? Cill Channigh? Corcaigh? Gaillimh? Or what about the Saffrons themselves, Aontroim? Were you at Páirc an Chrócaigh for the match against Baile Átha Cliath?
Have you put a geall (bet) on any football teams to win Somhairle Mag Uidhir? As always Ciarraí have a good chance, agus tá seans maith ag Tír Eoghain agus ag Ard Mhacha. (and Tyrone and Armagh have a good chance as well).
The Ulster Hurling final this week and it’s Aontroim against an Dún, it should be a cluiche iontach!
I’m sure you have all heard and maybe watched the peileadóirí of Aontroim! They beat Dún na nGall by 1 cúilín and what a match it was. They now go on to play against an Cabhán, in the semi-final of Uladh! Ádh mór orthu!
But how could I forget! Mí an Mheithimh is the best month of all for all the school children! Beidh an scoil thart! School will be over, and then you go to the Cúl Camps, and play iomáint, peil agus camógaíocht until your heart is content! Nach méanar daoibh! Aren’t you all so lucky!
Sin é. Until next September ádh mór!
