Should be a great final. I believe most fans wanted this matchup. I predict Corofin by a point. Trump2020 (Galway) - Posts: 2113 - 16/02/2019 17:12:04 2165723 Link
Replying To Trump2020: "Should be a great final. I believe most fans wanted this matchup. I predict Corofin by a point." Yes definitely the two best teams in the country, Crokes for me their forwards are class. But what a final to look forward to can't wait. Killarney produce's some forwards imagine if Clifford and James O Donoghue (both Killarney born I think) played for Crokes Wow. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 16/02/2019 17:24:44 2165728 Link
Should be a great match and good start to Paddy's Day festivities in the capital. Crokes forwards will be tough to mark, so Corofin have to tighten up on that. When Kevin Cassidy ran at them today, he opened them up pretty handy. Two best teams in the country, so could be epic final. NarrowBack914 (USA) - Posts: 181 - 16/02/2019 17:49:28 2165734 Link
Replying To Trump2020: "Should be a great final. I believe most fans wanted this matchup. I predict Corofin by a point." Yes definitely Corofin for the win and also St.Thomas' in the hurling too. katser (Galway) - Posts: 2193 - 16/02/2019 18:28:07 2165748 Link
I see only one winner - Corofin with a bit to spare. Physically stronger and more powerful , they'll shut down the Crokes handy enough. Kingdomson (Kerry) - Posts: 244 - 16/02/2019 19:32:10 2165763 Link
It should be a cracker! Corofin look the more balanced side but the Crokes full-forward line are capable of doing serious damage if they are given any room. Buckley will be a big loss. It could easily go either way but I give a tentative nod to Corofin. Gaillimh_Abu (Galway) - Posts: 996 - 16/02/2019 19:53:01 2165770 Link
I was in Limerick for their semi final 2 years ago. The Crokes inside line got a lot of space early on and did plenty damage. By the time Corofin got to grips with things the game was gone. They couldn't close the gap. Against what looks like an even better forward line this year, they can't afford to be as loose. It has the makings of a great contest.

Hopefully we will get a game of football, if players like Ian Burke, Gavin White & David Shaw are allowed to play, it might show that Gaelic football should be all about skill & not athleticism. Uimhir.a.3. (Galway) - Posts: 409 - 16/02/2019 21:17:09 2165789 Link

Gavin White is Jack Mccaffrey's twin footballing brother. When Whites running with the ball it's like everyone around him is running backwards he just glides away, Kerry are going to dominate pretty soon way too much talent coming tru not to. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 16/02/2019 21:39:03 2165799 Link
Replying To Trump2020: "Ooooooh.......the double would be so beautiful!!!!" It wouldn't be our first time to do a double...remember Salthill-Knocknacarra. And Portumna katser (Galway) - Posts: 2193 - 16/02/2019 22:22:57 2165810 Link

Hope im wrong about the club finals and would like to see both galway teams win buts its looked like Dr crokes and ballyhale shamrocks from a long way out they are 2 teams who have had a huge hunger to win out and are both on a mission to complete the journey to glory rhudson (Galway) - Posts: 1478 - 17/02/2019 21:08:25 2165984 Link

Both Galway teams have won it before too so they won't be intimidated. Trump2020 (Galway) - Posts: 2113 - 18/02/2019 01:15:11 2166034 Link

Two teams who play positive attacking football. Should be a close game but I'd fancy Corofin to come out on top. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11227 - 18/02/2019 10:13:34 2166071 Link
