Billy and Jimmy Mc
Lads ye are sharp, I can't get over the fact that I missed so many old school pals and pals that I knocked around with.
Am useless with face's and names.
Just going through the roll of names 37th Inf Bn 1962 Congo and am surprised that so many names click with my auld memory, alas sad to say many not with us any more but many are including our very own Anthony from the Mordon Pln

Re:ARIEL UTD AFC CURRAGH Hi ALL The b/w photo is of Ariel Utd and the names are as follows. back row,L/R Joe Byrne teacher, OBrien pte GTD,Arthur MccORMACK Mowler(mick)MurphyRIP keeper,JJCoy,Mick Valintine(vallo) J IMMY oDonnell, Gerry Mc?(MARRIED TO pAULINE O NEILL,FRONT ROW, Junior Tyrell,Mick Hyker Stynes,Billy Bohane Wally Barnes, Stevie Coy. colour photo back row L/R Phil Wolfe, Tommy McCormack , Larry Ryan, Mick Dowling,x bakery, Tony Lumsden RIP,Former DJ hops in the WES,KEEPER, JJCoy Dec Whelan,T oShea,Philly Dwane,?Thorpe? ?Benny Murphy, Manual McAusland Tom Keenan, Johnny Quinlan, Teddy Whitely, The colour photo is of the Newbridge Rangers Team and this is how they came to wear the former Ariel Utd Strip, IN 1973 a rumour went out that Ariel UTD had disbanded ,as most ot the team were members of the Curragh Army Band and were always involved in band engagements during the month of august, pre-season began for us at the start of september and then the rumour started as the Leauges k/o Ist week of Sept, so most of the players signed for other clubs in kildare town newbridge hotspurs Connell Rvrs, the majority of the team signing for Rangers, and the Ariel Utd TEAM strip was sold to Rangers also, hoping that this clears up this mystry, on the topic of the beauitiful game I attended the div I cup final this a/noon, as a referees ascessor, and i bumped into 2 collouges of mine Joe Burke Wife of Carmel Kearney as a leauge offical, and the one and only John O Conner formerly of Ceannt Mqtrs, Johns grand son was playing for Liffey Celtic and John made the long drive over from Mayo for the match, we had a great chat and reminised about the great times in the Curragh, I identified some of the players to John as they were originally from the Camp and John knew their Aunt as They meet on aregular basis, nice to see you John After all these years and keep on the forum contact Matt or Joey ref, getting the photos onto the photo gallery, bye for now Johnny

Re:ARIEL UTD -AFC CURRAGH Hi all Dan Bimbo never played for Ariel UTD, He was a connell rovers player, other players to feature for Ariel UTD were Christy McNamara Mick Shine myself Ollie Broe RIP, Mick Shine had to retire from the game as he came off the bad side of a motor bike accident, Hyker STYNES got a bad break on McDermott pitch playing against an MP Probationars course in a pre-season game. and was such a bad break that the nurse attending him in the hospital fainted at the sight, I can still hear the leg snap it was like the clash of 2 hurleys banging together, a total accident, that team went on to win the div 2 counties cup against Adastra of Naas that year, also to play for Ariel Utd were two of the Ist Zambian Cadet Class we called them Mick and Dick, also Liam Gleeson from plunckett played for Ariel UTD bye for now Johnny

Re:ARIEL UTD-AFC CURRAGH Hi all Just remembered how the team got its name , it came about like so. there wer ea couple of the lads up in Maginns shop in Pearse when the discussion came about a name for the team,and with so many names being bandied about and none being agreed upon when Anne Bohan (COY)who was working in the shop at the time and in her hand was a packet of Ariel washing powder, so She suggested why not call the team Ariel after the washing powder, so hence there came the name, with United being thrown after Man utd to complete the name, bye for now Johnny
