I suspect the phrase in question is "Slua againn".
This phrase would best be anglised as "A group of us".

Many thanks for answering. I am interested in the PRONUNCIATION of this word

as it is the basis for my surname. I know it's meaning ( host or leader of a
group ) but I want to know how it is spoken. I have no Gaelic. Thanks

How are you keeping my old friend, good I hope?
****All is well with me.
I haven't had a part fall off in several weeks.
Other than the wrenched back I got yanking up toe molding from the kitchen

Chirping at cricket. Usually the job of the wicket keeper.A constant
stream of remarks about the batsmen.
On story, a bowler said to the batsman who had been swiping and
missing the ball. It's red and round and this big you are supposed to
hit it. Next delivery was slapped out of the ground. Batsman said to
the bowler, you know what it looks like off you go and find it.
This week's cricket games. I have kids in all the teams. u13 tuesday,
u11 and 2nd senior team wed, u13 and senior 2 thursday and u11 and u15
on Friday. Senior 1 and 2 both on Saturday.
That's some load of cricket whites to process through the washing
machine.

Your version of rounders is entirely responsible for the dirty whites.
Years ago baseball fielding coaches were employed to coach cricketers
to actually field and catch the ball. Before there was only batsmen
and bowlers and the only eejit who could catch was the wicket keeper
(that's why he was keeper) This new merkin coaching resulted in full
length diving saves being performed by cricketers in the field,
stunning catches and that slide gather and stand up again and throw
move (sounds like friday night in derry) fines for fielding errors in
a game!! Before that you got fined ten shillings if you even got a
stain on your whites.

There is a whole history of spitting on the cricket ball, and of
course by cricket laws spit is natural and permitted. Also sweat you
see the bowler rub the ball on his forhead. Funny enough you never see
the bowler rub the ball in his armpit!

telephone. The cricket version of the penalty shoot out to decide a
result. 5 bowlers from each team bowl alternate deliveries at a set of
unguarded stumps.
So I landed at the ground with a pencil and paper a telephone and a
copy of the rule book. Our local team only had 4 bowlers somebody
didn't turn up. Another umpire was present, so he looked after the
details and I had to bowl.
Only hit the wicket with my first delivery since last september. We
won 2-1..All the same if a batsman had been there he would have
slapped that ball right back over my head.

Why?
The Spirit of Unkie still walks these halls, you know.
And on still, dark nights, the barking of Snatters may be heard.
The flapping of the Pirate Queen's sails is to be heard there, just over the
horizon.
Legions of wee creatures marching in perfect order and singing "Vincermos",
all led by the indomitable Wee Dave.
The names of many more sci warriors have faded from my aging memory.
