Replying To Gearoid1998ffowaed: "Serious class from Maigh Cuillin every single time, Dessie Connelly scored 1-10! Against a seriously sharp Shamrock Gaels team. Surely Galway need to have a good look at Ger Davoren, Sean O Connor and Mícheál Maughan for next year." Do we know was Cooke's absence injury related or was he given the weekend off?

Replying To PressureKick: "Do we know was Cooke's absence injury related or was he given the weekend off?" I presume it was work related but am unsure. Nice position to be in if so knowing they would win and could leave Cooke workaway and just to have him back for connacht final onwards. Dessie lighting up the show. Is Fionn McDonagh worth a look by PJ? Must be about 6ft 5 Eire89 (Galway) - Posts: 442 - 11/11/2025 12:56:43 2643984 Link

Replying To UtahBlaine: "Also Peter Cooke's cat had kittens. Think they should get a run as well ." Sure your suggestion is in a similar vein as a number other sharp shooters proposed on this stream, a bright future is in store surely!. backtooldwall (Galway) - Posts: 197 - 11/11/2025 15:51:14 2644021 Link

Replying To bollocks: "McDonagh was in with the development squad at the start of last year before getting injured." Is he the same McDonagh who was on the Fitzgibbon teams of N.U.I.G. and UL over the past few years?.He is very tall if the same player, but looked far more accomplished with a stick in hand than the one who played in Pearse Stadium in Co Final. backtooldwall (Galway) - Posts: 197 - 12/11/2025 00:18:27 2644091 Link

One and the same and six foot seven in his stockings . In fairness he should probably have got a call in for the hurlers last year given that he won a Fitzgibbon with UL and had a decent club championship but didn't happen for whatever reason.

RIP Donie Halleran Galway minor football keeper in 2018 and 2019. Drax_the_destroyer (UK) - Posts: 607 - 12/11/2025 14:02:29 2644167 Link
RIP to young Donie Halleran from Cortoon. A great goalkeeper on that 2019 minor team. galway19 (Galway) - Posts: 1024 - 12/11/2025 14:28:25 2644172 Link
That's extremely shocking news from Cortoon. Condolences to his family. Played on their intermediate county winning team in 2020 with his uncle David Warde. A great young goalkeeper with Tuam Celtic and Galway teams as well. RIP Donie Galwaymaster9 (Galway) - Posts: 431 - 12/11/2025 16:38:41 2644198 Link

He is 6"7 and good enough to be on both panels, I believe a nephew of the famous Mick Holden , one of the best dual players of all time. Serious potential.

Moycullen are running rampant over the Leitrim lads. They started bad but then woke up and are playing very well. SouthGalway (Galway) - Posts: 99 - 16/11/2025 14:24:56 2644736 Link
Galway Dev squad played Mayo on Friday in Milltown, Mayo squad named in the western people, but we are kept in the dark... anyone at it? Any insights who featured? WonTon5 (Galway) - Posts: 78 - 16/11/2025 14:26:31 2644737 Link
Replying To WonTon5: "Galway Dev squad played Mayo on Friday in Milltown, Mayo squad named in the western people, but we are kept in the dark... anyone at it? Any insights who featured?" In fairness it was a third choice selection.. Mayo looked for the game and are pushing hard already, Galway had to scrape a team together to keep them happy..

Replying To SouthGalway: "Moycullen are running rampant over the Leitrim lads. They started bad but then woke up and are playing very well." No test for Moycullen at all today sets up a intriguing final in the Hyde in two weeks. Drax_the_destroyer (UK) - Posts: 607 - 16/11/2025 18:10:00 2644804 Link
Replying To SouthGalway: "Moycullen are running rampant over the Leitrim lads. They started bad but then woke up and are playing very well." Although I thought the opposition were not hectic at all, still a rolls Royce of a performance from moycullen. You'd have to think with a lot of turnover already in the Galway squad PJ will be on the blower to a few of them, namely Fionn McDonagh who has really come into his own the last couple of games. Young Sean O Connor definitely worth a look at as well with the corofin half backs aging Emmets67 (Galway) - Posts: 1 - 16/11/2025 18:55:37 2644820 Link
