**deadman** · 25/01/2005, 11:24 AM

just wondering how many players from the Republic are playing in the Irish League? apart from Vinny Arkins and Michael Collins wouldn't know any others by name ... i'm sure there's a few playing for Newry as well though

Niall Bonner and Martin Ferry play for Omagh Town.

**carrickharp** · 25/01/2005, 1:18 PM

Think Shane Bradleys brother Damien is still goalkeeper for Omagh as well

**joey B** · 25/01/2005, 1:21 PM

He went to Drumkeen United.

**Sheridan** · 25/01/2005, 1:25 PM

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.

**Martinho II** · 26/01/2005, 9:25 PM

the collins fella that is playing with portadown where is he from?

**Lossie Glens** · 26/01/2005, 10:06 PM

Paddy Quinn at Portadown and I think Cliftonville have a few.

**-lamb-** · 27/01/2005, 11:35 PM

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.

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?

**-lamb-** · 31/01/2005, 1:47 PM

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.

**-lamb-** · 13/02/2005, 1:40 PM

Did Paul not spend a wee while at Harps. I forgot he even existed until I read that there.
