This time of the year can be a sad time for families. We think of all the lads who are now working overseas and hope they are home for Christmas. I especially think of this year all the lads from Rowanbridge who had to leave Ireland to find work. They were the backbone of the league for years. I hope they are all keeping well. I know they are following the league on the NET. To all the lads that take part each Friday  I wish you and your families a happy Christmas. Hopefully the New Year will bring jobs,a new sense of hope in our communities and above all peace to you all.  God bless. Keep the faith     Mike C
