Top Four Tournament Returns to Corrigan Park - Ammendment
The old 'Top Four Tournament', the prelude to the All Ireland Club Championships is set to make a big return at Naomh Eoin CLG.
This year the tournament will take place over the 2 consecutive Sundays, 21st and 28th February with some big names set to take part.
The four teams competing this year will be hosts St Johns, Erins Own Cargin, St Dympna's Dromore and An Riocht from County Down. The visiting teams bring some great players and pedigree.
Ryan McMenamin and Colm McCullagh of Tyrone County Champions Dromore may grace the hallowed turf on the Whiterock road for their semi final against Antrim C/ship finalists Erins Own and renew aquaintances from the USFC Final 2009 with the McCann brothers and Justin Crozier.
An Riocht (or 'The Kingdom'), home of returned Aussies Rules star Martin Clarke and double All Ireland winning manager Pete McGrath, take on the home team in the other semi. Both games to be played on Sunday 21st February, with the 3rd place playoff and final the following week, Sunday 28th February.
This promises to be a highly competitive, but enjoyable set of days for all involved. Those who miss out on what 'could' be a spectacle of football and great social occasion, will no doubt follow a certain RTE pundit and be forced to eat their hat!!!!

Sunday 28th Feb 1.00pm: 3rd place play-off
