Check out all the Harps camogie news on the new Harps Camogie website.
Congratulations to The Harps camogie team who yesterday won the All-Ireland Junior Club Camogie final by beating Keady of Armagh on a score of 1-7 to 0-5. The game was played in O’Moore park, Portlaoise in terrible weather conditions on a cut-up pitch, it was bad enough sitting in the stands, don’t know how they play in that. They played great all through, led for most of the match and an early second half goal set them on the way to the title.
They only won their first Laois County title this year so it’s been a great couple of weeks for them to go on and win Leinster and now the All-Ireland. Click on the little picture above to see a bigger team shot. Click on the 2 links below to read reports on the game.

I’ll be going to Flash on the Beach in Brighton, UK at the start of December. It’s a major Flash conference with a great line-up of speakers and it’s the first time in years that we’ve had a big Flash conference in these parts.
Work are nicely paying for the trip for two of us, but it makes total sense for them to, we do huge amounts of work using Flash and it’s important that we attend big events like this to find out what’s new, get fresh ideas and meet some of the top names in the business (and maybe have 1 or 2 drinks in the spirit of socialising & networking!)

I was at the International Rules game at the weekend. Good atmosphere in Croke Park with around 82,000 people, pity the match was so bad. Aside from the much-hyped fighting, the actual quality of the play was terrible. The Irish team couldn’t kick the ball properly, further evidence of the reduction in skill in gaelic football nowadays. The Aussies were far better in all aspects of the game.
All the hoopla about the violence is a bit contradictory when you consider what goes on in club games all round the country every weekend of the year. Referees attacked, players assaulted, mass brawls and everyone just turns a blind eye!
The hurling/shinty game was played in much better spirits but was equally bad for Ireland, with the Scottish team being far superior in most aspects.
