New season starts here...

So, it's been a while, but to coincide with the start of the new GAA season, you'll all be delighted to hear that Oakleafers Blog is returning to a computer screen near you (or tablet or smartphone, depending on how good Santa Claus was to you).

It's almost been six months since Derry's promising challenge in 2011 petered out with successive defeats to Donegal and Kildare, but we're not here to dwell on the past (well, maybe just a little). We're here to look forward to the year ahead and aim to provide Derry fans with news, views, analysis and hyperbole surrounding the misfortunes (and perhaps even fortunes) of the Derry footballers, whilst taking a look at the GAA world in general.

Another NFL campaign in Division 2 awaits - and for those of you hoping I'm not saying the same thing this time next year, be careful what you wish for - with the subsequent Ulster SFC campaign looking destined to take us back to Ballybofey. Might be a good idea to book the summer holidays sometime in mid-June.

And who amongst us can contain our excitement at the beginning of another McKenna Cup?

Joking aside, it should be another interesting season for Derry fans, as John Brennan's side aims to go one step further from last season in both the league and Ulster Championship, and who knows what might happen after that.

So stay tuned... and follow us on Twitter (http://twitter.com/oakleafers) for regular updates.
