Our intrepid assistant manager-cum-reporter Eunan Conway managed to find the time to text developments in the crunch ACL Div 2 decider between Glenravel and Rasharkin. Naomh Brid are sweet provided the glensmen do not lose by more than 18 points. Surely not?
Fan: Is anyone travelling to the game?
EC: On my way to it now and saying my first rosary in 30 years.
Fan: Just back from a prayerful myself. Has it thrown in yet?
EC: Glenravel clearly haven’t trained in a month and look off the pace. Raskarkin up for it and have already hit the onion bag.
