It's got to the stage that even when watching BBC's The Apprentice, I'm half expecting the losing candidate to appear in some sort of loser's round on BBC Four the following Saturday night, with the winner appearing at the quarter-final stage. If there was one. But no. When Alan Sugar says "You're fired!", that's the end of the road.
And rightly so. Some of our competitions could pay notice.
Anyway, I digress. If any of you are still reading I'll cut a long story short. Even though they suffered a four-point defeat to Down last Saturday, Derry's hurlers are still well and truly in this year's Christy Ring Cup. A win against Wicklow this weekend will qualify them for a quarter-final.
Sam Dodds amassed a personal tally of 0-17, but his side still came up short against the Mournemen, who were unable to field for a friendly against Limerick just a week before!
The Oakleafers had a convincing 18-point victory over Wicklow in the NHL back in March, and will be confident of repeating a similar feat at Banagher this Saturday. A win could even set up a rematch with Down in the last-eight, if Down manage to get beat by Kerry in their Round 2 game.
Make sense?
