Would love to see a Connaught team make it to the semi finals! The province needs a boost! Any chance of Leitrim beating Sligo?? sashman (Kildare) - Posts: 465 - 11/05/2011 11:31:16 928210 Link 0 |

laser, like it or lump it, mayo have been the best team in connaght over the last decade. Many of the guys who were in that team have now retired. The ones who have replaced them are young lads with potential, hence the transition. TheMaster (Mayo) - Posts: 16187 - 11/05/2011 13:02:42 928304 Link 0 |
I'm getting dangerously precious about the Connacht championship reading some of these replies. Personally I can't see a team from our province getting their hands on Sam in September, which is a great shame, but it is just the way it goes sometimes, but I think it will be competitive championship. And there are some good footballing sides and some excellent footballers that will be busting a gut for their county. Wests_Awake (Galway) - Posts: 877 - 11/05/2011 14:25:57 928385 Link 0 |

From the neutral perspective there should be 2 to 3 highly-competitive matches in Connacht this year. I'd give a slight nod to Mayo to win. I can see them edging Galway in a semi-final in Castlebar and then going on to beat Sligo in the provincial decider. eviemonkey (Cork) - Posts: 308 - 11/05/2011 15:49:34 928456 Link 0 |

ok, connacht havnt done well when it comes to all irelands in the last few years but people go around saying ulster is the most competitive province in the championship. i don't think this is true. look at the connacht final results in the last number of years - '06 - mayo beat galway by a point, '07 - sligo beat galway by a point, '08 - galway beat mayo by a point, '09 - mayo beat galway by a point, 10 - roscommon beat sligo by a point,. 5 years, 5 finals, 4 different winners, every final decided by a point, 70% of connachts teams making at least 1 final appearance. stats speak for themselves. galwayman95 (Galway) - Posts: 292 - 11/05/2011 20:55:52 928730 Link 0 |
Did I say most connaght titles laser? Or did I say best team in connaght? We have consistently gone the furthest in the championship over the last 10 years. Im not trying to make it into a mayo v galway thread, but merely showing you the error in your ways TheMaster (Mayo) - Posts: 16187 - 11/05/2011 21:04:19 928741 Link 0 |
01ros, first off, alan dillon is a better player than andy moran. Secondly, if the guy was from roscommon wouldnt he play for roscommon? TheMaster (Mayo) - Posts: 16187 - 11/05/2011 21:07:49 928746 Link 0 |
