Is McLoughlin not available for Galway this year? If so why travelling? I believe Hernon out as travelling. Is O Conghaile with Galway? Didn see him on development panel which may be a good sign for him as might be higher up the ladder if so? O Curraoin deserves a shot in league from FBD & college.

Replying To WanPintWin: "A deserved win overall, but it was another goalkeeper error unfortunately that got Mary's back into it late on. McLaughlin got on a lot of ball and created a lot of problems with his direct running. Liam Ó Conghaile kicked some lovely scores and Cillian Ó Curraoin was very good from placed balls again. Two big scores at the end from Cian Monaghan to keep them in the competition." Yeah, the keeper cost them the TUD game at the end and he almost did the same last night.

Cillian Ó Curraoin stood out more in the last few games for university of Galway than two of Mayo best senior forwards in Ryan O'Donoghue, Tommy Conroy so that is one reason alone why he should be getting minutes in the upcoming NFL.

Replying To togoutlads: "What is the issue behind him not joining the setup? I've heard some rumour mill stuff. So is it Joyce doesn't want him or Michael Daly doesn't want to play IC football? Either way, it's a pity this can't be sensibly resolved. He has the talent and ability. Time waits for no one and imo this window of opportunity has to be properly presented again to the lad and, from his part, seized by him. The chance to wear your county's jersey at snr level is something that's fleeting at best and simply out of reach for so many that dearly love the game. It's a pity to see talent wasted and opportunity lost. The years fly by and now is the time to do it. Work and other commitments will always, always be there down the road! Enjoy this now Michael while you're young and able, and just go for it, and PJ needs to sort this if at all doable." I think Michael Daly is even struggling with playing club football it's time move on this stage Kickitout (Galway) - Posts: 952 - 24/01/2024 15:37:49 2521914 Link
Replying To Triffic: "Heard Tomo got injured over Xmas alright; not football-related though :-(" He is fine. Came on at the end of the Sigerson game last night. galway19 (Galway) - Posts: 790 - 24/01/2024 16:22:37 2521922 Link

Both of the young Galway forwards have stood out more than their better known Mayo teammates, in the Sigerson games to date. Obviously they're hungry to establish themselves and push to a higher level, whereas the Mayo lads are more likely to be easing their way into the season. Even still, both have shown a lot of quality, which is very promising. WanPintWin (Galway) - Posts: 2187 - 24/01/2024 16:55:05 2521929 Link
Replying To caltra04: "Would be good to see Daryl Finn (formerly of Monivea Abbey- transferred to caltra for personal reasons ) get a run in the dome. I believe he's been training bits and pieces with the dev panel. Daryl is around 30 now, you don't get too many chances at inter county!!" Is he in the mix for Sunday? 5plus9 (Galway) - Posts: 19 - 24/01/2024 23:28:39 2521969 Link

Replying To JakeTheMan: "Who is Phillip Neary ? I thought Lettermore would stick with the management team they had for the relegation play off last year." So Leitir Mór and Barna have their business done. Any word from MM? Have all senior teams managements in place? BellewsBoys (Galway) - Posts: 8 - 25/01/2024 11:34:29 2522008 Link

Dunmore in the B final, wasn't it only last year they won the C final? Great going TheBishop (Galway) - Posts: 287 - 25/01/2024 12:47:07 2522018 Link
Replying To TheBishop: "Dunmore in the B final, wasn't it only last year they won the C final? Great going" Correct losing out to Kerry opposition in the AI semi final when had a commanding lead. The opposite happened yesterday 9 points behind midway through the 2nd half to win by 3 Padraig Martyn 3-3, Colm Costello 0-8 the stand outs. Carrick on Shannon CS in the final now who they beat comfortably in the group stages. Drax_the_destroyer (UK) - Posts: 235 - 25/01/2024 13:13:02 2522024 Link
Replying To lugdrum: "Is Matthew Tierney with the squad this year or is he injured?" He's definitely in the squad. Rumours that he has a knock though so might miss the first couple league games. Marooned (Galway) - Posts: 2290 - 25/01/2024 13:22:31 2522026 Link

I hope he gets a run in the league, looks a promising talent. Rocky.Road (Galway) - Posts: 376 - 25/01/2024 14:44:33 2522042 Link

Replying To Dunmore10: "Hugh improvements in football in dunmore the last few years, some really talented lads coming through." That's good news, we don't seem to win anything without a Dunmore connection. Pope_Benedict (Galway) - Posts: 3868 - 25/01/2024 17:43:15 2522069 Link
Handy enough win for Claregalway College to get into the senior A final. Some team at schools level to still have Eanna Monaghan, Jack Lonergan and Stephen Curley on it. galway19 (Galway) - Posts: 790 - 25/01/2024 19:46:01 2522091 Link
Replying To galway19: "Handy enough win for Claregalway College to get into the senior A final. Some team at schools level to still have Eanna Monaghan, Jack Lonergan and Stephen Curley on it." Cillian Trayers back training too. Focusing on hurling primarily. They all do Transition Year which is a huge help for football. I was looking at the panel and the amount of young footballers Claregalway have at their disposal is something else. Who is over them at senior level this year?

Can Galway's physios please improve on our flexibility and have our lads stretch and stretch and stretch some more before the Mayo match. The amount of muscular strains, pulls and tears with Damo and others in the Galway setup is off the charts when compared to such stats for Dublin for example. Are we getting our warm ups, stretching work and flexibility right? Hope we are! togoutlads (Galway) - Posts: 971 - 26/01/2024 15:51:27 2522215 Link

I've heard their underage is massive and if managed properly they could emerge as the main club in Galway. JahTribe (Galway) - Posts: 155 - 26/01/2024 17:31:28 2522229 Link
