Paul Doherty (Gaelic Footballer)
Paul Doherty is a former inter-county goalkeeper for Galway. Doherty made his Championship debut against Mayo in May 2007 and has been a first choice for the county in the Championship ever since. In the 2007 Connacht SFC semi-final against Leitrim, the then manager of Galway, Peter Forde, praised Doherty after Donal Brennan's shot was stopped by Doherty. "The opposition is always going to have chances during a 70 minute game. That is what we expect our goalkeeper to do, to pull off a great save like that when it is needed and thankfully he did that. It is important that when the opposition get in on goal that you have a goalie who can pull off a save like that and he proved that today," Forde said. Galway won the game by 0-17 to 1-10 He has played in two Connacht finals, in 2007, losing to Sligo, and in 2008, defeating Mayo.

Year Of Birth Missing (living People)
A year or annus is the orbital period of a planetary body, for example, the Earth, moving in its orbit around the Sun. Due to the Earth's axial tilt, the course of a year sees the passing of the seasons, marked by change in weather, the hours of daylight, and, consequently, vegetation and soil fertility. In temperate and subpolar regions around the planet, four seasons are generally recognized: spring, summer, autumn and winter. In tropical and subtropical regions, several geographical sectors do not present defined seasons; but in the seasonal tropics, the annual wet and dry seasons are recognized and tracked. A calendar year is an approximation of the number of days of the Earth's orbital period, as counted in a given calendar. The Gregorian calendar, or modern calendar, presents its calendar year to be either a common year of 365 days or a leap year of 366 days, as do the Julian calendars. For the Gregorian calendar, the average length of the calendar year (the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
