Niall Bonner and Martin Ferry play for Omagh Town.
Think Shane Bradleys brother Damien is still goalkeeper for Omagh as well
He went to Drumkeen United.
Dublin City legend Robbie Farrell and Shels rejects Stephen Murtagh, Alan McDermott and Derek Donoghue all made their respective debuts for Newry City in a recent 0-2 defeat by Linfield.
David Ward signed with Ards last week.
the collins fella that is playing with portadown where is he from? :confused:
Paddy Quinn at Portadown and I think Cliftonville have a few.
Derek Delaney was at Larne last season (scoring 14 goals i think), moved to Ards (didn't do so well) and now at Glenavon.
Paul Curran, though from up around 'Derry somewhere originally, is living around Dundalk now and plays for Larne (and doing very well too).
There's more but i can't think of them off the top of my head.
Mickey Collins isnt from the Rep.Of Ireland!
Hes Belfast born and breed!
Anto Reilly from Dundalk (ex-Dundalk FC) has just signed for Larne.
Any opinions/info on him?
is paudie gollogley still at ards?
Ok here is the Dundalk ppl playing in the Irish League:
Paul Murphy - Newry City
David Ward - Ards
Simon O'Shaughnessy - Ards
Padraig Gollogley* - Ards
Derek Delaney - Glenavon
Paddy Quinn - Portadown
Anto Reilly - Larne
PPL who live in Dundalk but not from Dundalk:
Paul Curran - Larne
Shane Reddish - Ards
* Not sure if he is from Dundalk
Thomas Heffernan is playing for the swifts
Class player
Paul Smyth (ex-Mon, super player) was playing with Ballinamallard, don't know if he still is. There's another Monaghan lad playing for Armagh City, can't think of his name.
Is John Connolly still playing up North?
John Connolly as in the ex-Omagh Town, Institute keeper?
he is at Newry, loaned out to Carrick, and was looking like signing for Cliftonville last week.
anto reilly's irtc didn't come through before the transfer deadline for larne. he has now signed for armagh city in div1 until the end of the season.
dont think vinny arkins will be up there much longer, rumour has it he wants to finish his career with us where he was a legendQuote:
