Did you know...
* Ballymanus (aka The Billies) GAA Club is one of the smallest clubs in
the country and is situated in Askinagap, a small village over 3 miles
north-west of Aughrim, Co. Wicklow...
* The rumour spread around Wicklow prior to the announcement of
the Celebrity Bainisteoirs, that top Irish model Glenda Gilson would
be taking the reins in Ballymanus...
* The lads waited enthusiastically in the dressing-room for Glenda
to be unveiled but were surprised (shocked!) when Baz Ashmawy
(who's that lad?) of 'How Low Can You Go?' walked in...
* Baz was assisted by mentor Kevin O'Brien (former Wicklow GAA
star, All-Star and Compromise Rule International) in the preparation
of the team...
* Ballymanus were drawn against Maryland, Co. Westmeath in the
quarter-finals but forced to play without local stars Paddy Byrne and
Seanie O'Neill who had to play a Leinster U-21 Championship match
the following weekend...
* Maryland managed by Marty Whelan were narrow victors and went
on to win the tournament...
