Best of luck to naomh Columba tomorrow in the intermediate and off course my own club Naomh conail on Sunday.
And well done to all our all stars and nominees.
And a special shout-out to my own clubman on winning an all star and young footballer of the year, well deserved.
Isn't it great to be amongst the all star talk and reaching all Ireland finals.
Thank you to Jim McGuiness for bringing back pride in the county. And we should be doing everything possible to persuade Jim to extend his time beyond next year, and blood in even some more young talent.

Replying To greenfan: "I was very disappointed with Gallen this year, he should relish playing alongside Murphy, learning from him and watching how he goes about his work every night in training. Gallen needs to step up next year and show he's really the top forward we all think he is, and not just a guy who had one good year." This is a bit of a ridiculous comment. Gallen was 4th top scorer from play in the All Ireland SFC with 1-24. Very hard done by not to be nominated this year.
Murphy scored 0-52, but 0-31 from placed balls, so 0-21 from play. Gallen hit those frees last year.
If he hits say an additional 0-30 from placed balls and ends up on 1-54 all of a sudden he's second top scorer overall in the Championship and everyone sings his praises, football fans, journalists and pundits are incredibly blinkered sometimes.
Conor O'Donnell hit 3-25 all from play which was excellent, hopefully he gets a deserved all star.

Replying To katser: "Unfortunately the majority of those teams will never see the light of Intermediate hurling again but I understand it was set up to promote hurling in so called football areas." Once again your understanding is incorrect. The restructure came from a motion proposed by Kilbeacanty (not a football club, in case your understanding might have been different) and had nothing to do with promoting hurling in football areas.
It was then voted on by all hurling clubs in the county and passed with a vote of almost 70%.
It has achieved two things:
1. We have a second tier now which actually represents the second level of clubs in our county, and will allow the 2nd tier winners to represent Galway in the All-Ireland Intermediate championship. The no-man's land Senior B of 8 teams has been removed. We'll have a very competitive and high quality Intermediate championship next year.
2. The third tier Junior championship now consists of first teams only. The issue of other club's second teams playing senior panelists in the first few rounds of Junior games has been addressed by this. It will also give greater visibility to talented players from smaller clubs.

Replying To Galway456: "First time in a long long time some of these teams will be playing home/away championship matches. Will be some fiesty home and away matches from that list" It will be neutral venues same as senior and intermediate, also will be seeded so will be 2 of the 4 teams dropping down in each group

Replying To Galwaymaster9: "Three from Dunmore???
Will ya stop , got some awful beatings in senior..
Very average club players" Awful beatings??? Plural. You must be watching a different championship than the rest us. Correct me if I'm wrong but that team has only lost 2 games in 2025. 1 to Corofin and just edged by Tuam when Mannion shot the lights out. Average age of the team is about 22/23 with bags of quality.... not sure what your talking about. That Corofin game is an outlier is my opinion when you look at their progress. Corofin hit song that day in perfect conditions and with Gary Delaney, they had the perfect insight in that Dunmore team

Replying To Galway456: "I cant imagine neutral venues for a junior championship? 18 matches per weekend in senior and prem inter i cant imagine co board turning a junior championship in neutral grounds unless the likes of tuam stadium and gort hold the majority of them." It would be 4 extra games a weekend... plenty of pitches that wont be used from breathnachs to kiltormer or annaghdown to kilbeacanty e.g ballindeeren or carnmore

Full disclosure, I am not a good person. I am a flawed person who's trying very hard to make good choices but continually makes mistakes so it's not my intention to judge or lecture you.
I'm simply saying the language you use seems to absolve you of any duty to make good choices but maybe I'm misunderstanding you." Think you are being a bit hard on that lad Doyler

I knew chap who was hurling chair in an Ulster county and some of them did everything possible to sabotage him." Not just Ulster counties Barney. Was it last year or the clear before Mayo CB wouldn't let the hurlers play in McHale Park?

Replying To puckemhard: "I think the new formats will mean better championships, but agree the top 3 through does take away a bit of an edge
We dont know the format for Premier junior yet but as far as i can see there will be 10 teams
1- Annaghdown
2-Sylane
3-Kilbecanty
4-Abbeyknockmoy
5- Ballinasloe
6-Kiltormer
7-Micheal Breathnach
8-Salthill
9-Spideal
10-Bearna na Forbacha
They have two choices they could split it into a West and East championship like they do in Football
West/ City
Annaghdown
MB
Salthill
Spideal
B/F
North/East
Sylane
Kilbeceanty
Abbey
Balliansloe
Kiltormer
Winners meet each other in county final
But i think that would be a silly longterm setup . Id imagine it will be 2x 5 Teams - Top 4 Teams through ( Important at this level teams get games )
Cant see the Senior Layout changing , but id love to see top 2 go through ." Unfortunately the majority of those teams will never see the light of Intermediate hurling again but I understand it was set up to promote hurling in so called football areas.

Replying To Eire89: "Best goalie on show in both senior & intermediate club cship by a mile was Maghnus from An Spideal. I fancy Moycullen to go well in club championship but do feel goalie is a weakness as seen with goal against Tuam in semi and they also struggled against SK on kickouts" 100% Maughnus had a great year.
