'Bredagh talks Sam & Liam 2007 - Report'
A very good night was had by all - the format this year being different in that there was no interval nor a set running order. Graham Geraghty was interesting and earnest and was a big hit with the crowd. Paddy Heaney and Irish Independent journalist Martin Breheny made a point of disagreeing on everything - Joe Brolly was funny and frank. Jerome Quinn did his usual good job as MC,it was classic GAA stuff.
Kevin Dornan meets Graham Geraghty
Predictably the topics included Ger Cavlan, Darren Graham, GAA media/PR relations,sell-off of county grounds, standard of punditry and favourites,Pat Spillane, Tommy Murphy Cup( some added value from presence of James Loughrey, clubmate of Joe Brolly's and defender for Antrim ,who talked us through the Tommy Murphy Cup final heartbreak)Hurling v Football (added value from Enda Gormley, holder of 2 Ulster hurling medals),International rules and ,of course,who will win Sam and Liam.
Nicky McCafferty asked Barney Eastwood if Graham Geraghty could have done a better job than Bernard Dunne. Graham Geraghty fancies Cork and was pleased that Noel O'Leary got clearance to play. Well done to the audience and the panel for turning out and having a laugh.
