First pictures of Burkey Junior

Hello magazine have been hassling me for an exclusive deal, but I thought to myself "what need have I for a million dolllars". So here are the first shots, from outside and inside the womb.

I think he is going to take after Mike when it comes to food. When I told Mike the other day that there was nothing for desert the baby kicked me!

Happy Birthday to us, Happy Birthday to us, Happy Birthday to uuuussss, Happy Birthday to us.

Not much to say really, just that we are OLD now and as these pictures show we like food and silly games.

The Result you've all been waiting for.

Well the Wellington GAA 7's tournament has come to an end. And what an end...

Clonbony Abu had been written off before going in the the quarter finals, but they scrapped through to face the bookies favourites - the mighty Rebel Ogs. The two teams came out fighting, with Rebel Ogs bombarding Clonbony's goal keeper - some excellent saves combined with plenty of points at the opposite side of the field meant it was anyones game at half time.

The Rebels scored three goals in quick succession when they returned. Special mention of course has to go to a beautiful goal for Clonbony from Mike Burke - one to watch in the next season. Clonbony Abu have never been a team to give up though, and with one minute to go there was just a goal in it. From the side line it was obvious that Clonbony were the crowds favourite when a goal just seconds before the full time whistle was greeted with an uproar of cheering.

At the end Clonbony Abu wanted it more - and they emerged decisive winners.

Unfortunately, as is often the case with these big matches, there were crys of foul play while some of the loosing team stormed off. But frankly, the suggestion that the referee may have accidentally assigned one goal to the wrong team sounds like sour grapes to me.




Other recent results of great interest to GAA fans include the birth of future all star Aodhagán. The resemblance to uncle Mike is uncanny, especially in this "after dinner snooze" picture. Lets hope he's inherited Burkeys legendary footballing skills too.
