What other name have you for it other than a friendly?

We wish him the best . But it's absolutely sickening to loose this young star. He was probably going to bettter then David Clifford even .

He could still well come back in 5 years he will only be 22. I don't think it's us that 'need to stay humble ' ! ."
Steady on with the 3rd line. He hasn't proven anything remotely close to that. He was a good maybe very good minor, didn't anyway resemble what Clifford was doing (4-4 from play in the final marking Conor McCluskey). No problem saying he would be one of the best players in the country but don't say he was probably going to be better than David Clifford.

Dominant display by Brigids In truth a contest should have been over at half time instead of the 8 point lead they had. Only black mark was the three sloppy goals given away and I don't think that 2nd goal should have been allowed. Expected a lot more from Ballina their game plan and match ups was poor. R fallon,P McGrath,C Hand among the stand out players on show. Moycullen v Brigids should be a real battle in the Hyde in two weeks.

Lastly hard luck to Croans losing out on a Connacht junior final with a penalty shootout. Strength of Roscommon club has been seen in the three club championships once more.

You think? We grow men the size of rugby backs in the GAA but the IRFU insist on importing them.

Replying To Freethinker:  "Watched it. There was very little friendly about it. I also watched Athy v Summerhill. Question for the experts on here. Since when is hauling a player down, almost, if not in, the square, not a black card ??"
No black cards in club competitions only county.

Replying To Kerry15:  "Oh come on most of them wouldn't have even been inter county footballers. Also it's completely different a young fella who is talented at football and rugby or soccer going growing up and choosing the other one compared to a top GAA player being recruited for Australia because of his Gaelic football ability."
Can recall at least 4 County Minors in my county who were lost to a professional soccer career and 2 more to professional rugby careers. Was delighted for them all.

Replying To S1234:  "Never once said we are flying. I said we are rebuilding.

Also it was all new players Andy put out against your so called ' Miltown ' players . At least we have some great underage players coming up. Unlike Galway...."
Kobe gone to Australia... he saw doom and gloom ahead in Mayo..

Ballina bet out the gate today..
Is that the best club football can offer?

Replying To Tacaí Liatroma:  "Question for you guys. I see that Ballinasloe are taking on Moytura Hurling of Mayo in the Connacht Junior Hurling semi-final. In recent years, it was just the Sligo and Leitrim senior champions in one semi-final, with the winners taking on the Galway representatives (winners of the Junior 1?) in the final. Have Mayo joined this championship with their intermediate champions, does anyone know? Didn't see anything about it on the Connacht GAA site. (I figured I might get an answer quicker here than in their thread)"
From what I gather, even Ballinasloe didnt know much about Moytura. Apparently they are an amalgamation of up to 6 football clubs in south Mayo. They were re-constituted in 2022 after an 8 year absence and had 4 panellists on this year's successful county team in the Nicky Rackard. They hadnt played a competitive hurling game since August and were beaten by a margin of 9 points yesterday by Ballinasloe.

Replying To ORIELMAN85:  "Maybe if you looked a little closer you would have noticed that it is the Champiosship All Stars. To be honest the well beaten Intermediate Championshop semi-finalist got well looked after. The Junior team was probably spot on this year for a change."
Agree it's a championship team, carrick rested there squad for that league final. Intermediate team all well deserved! All south monaghan team

Not sure on the junior team, emyvale with a strong representation! seems to be a lot of talk around Jack mohan from scotstown being blatantly robbed of one.

Interesting to see the senior team?

Replying To jm25:  "He's only 17 he prob wouldn't be in mayo side for at least 2 years we've seen a lot of great minors not have great senior careers.

We lost mcdaid for 3 years and took him a couple to get used to back playing football"
He's not a random lad being overhyped. The last 2 players that were talked about in the same way were Oisin Mullen and Pearce Hanley. McDonald will make it and not be seen for years or he won't make it and be home in a couple of years.

Handy enough win for a Strokestown side that hadn't to go up the gears.

Replying To Meridian:  "Maybe I didn't explain my point. The Club develop the player in the hope that in the future they will play on to adult years with the Club. Why should such a club be then penalised and have such a player, who they played a big part in developing, be taken from them without anything in return. For a rural Club, such a player could represent their whole future and that could be taken away in an instant. I think the GAA could do more here in that they could insist that the Club involved should receive compensation for the loss. Even if its something like €10,000. its better than nothing at all."
Now Genius,how are you going to do that. I have coached young lads for 30+ years and I would be delighted if one of them ever got the opportunity to go play Aussie Rules professionally.

Replying To S1234:  "Eh it's gut instinct . Also you just can't compare Andy & Boyler to McStay & Rochford .

Andy & Boyler are fresh , youth is in them . They are winners and they bleed the green & red . They would do anything to get the best out of our guys and us back competitive again.
I have no dout they will be around MUCH longer then McStay & Rochford.

I see they had a challenge match v Galway last night with a development squad and won. We have some fine young talents coming up. Rebuilding but I have every faith in Andy & Boyler.. !"
Winners? As in Connacht titles...that's all they won..
Galway put out half the Milltown team last night...
But sure ya ye are flying

Some rather strange selections for the Junior All Star squad. Nonetheless a big achievement for all the lads.

Intermediate team all well deserved but the league winners only taking home 2 all stars. I just don't know...

Replying To veterngaa:  "Word is they might enter their senior champs into intermediate after last weekends showing"
Good one in fairness. Cavan senior teams tend to do poorly in ulster competition. Many have small populations, there are no clubs dominating the county setup, like your champions, and often they don't take it as serious as they perhaps should. Look at kingscourt for example, with one of their best players taking a break, absolutely well deserved by the way, rather than playing in Ulster.
Your champions are successful because they don't operate on a level playing field. Other than them, your club teams are very poor in Ulster in the last few decades. They're a ridiculous outfit. An amalgamation of multiple parishes and then transferring in county level players from both within and without the county. Let's see how they go against the like of Kilcoo.
