Naomh Gall GAA

Like everyone else CES would be on the web site daily, looking for upcoming events, a bit of debate or maybe a bit of team news for a big match - some chance. Anyway at the weekend up pops ‘Ceist GAA le Hector’ and on further reading a potential holiday in the Algarve for ‘south Antrim’ players. Or so the article went. Well being a south Antrin player, nothing to do with being on the piss in the ’States’ for two months, due only to work and study commitments you understand, CES thought, “this will do me.” So at ten past eight on Sunday night CES was sitting in the girlfriend’s house with popcorn and sun factor ten waiting on ‘Hector’ and the best St Galls had to offer. And on it came. Now, it did take a little time to explain to CES’s potential mother-in-law why he was sitting on a couch in her house in a pair of ‘Speedos’ -they’re the in-thing now- but the ‘Algarve aspect swung it and we all settled down in anticipation of another great victory for the boys, and one girl, from Milltown Row. Alas however it wasn’t to be and the ‘Speedos’ have been put away until the next quiz, or more likely next summer. The team tried their best and fair play to them, although CES heard they got big cheques from TG4 in Galway that bought more than a few new tracksuits. But CES also learned a little and was able to give his beloved some advice. Ok, the female member of the team was a pretty wee thing for her age but what impressed CES, and probably a lot of other men, was that she didn’t say much. Now there’s a girl worth going out with! Anyway fair play for trying to get all us south Antrim playing ‘Speedo’ lovers a much needed holiday.
