Naomh Conaill definitely died with there boots on, poor first half and one hell of a second half. I have to admire Anthony Thomson, did it all and one of the best players on the field. The two Doherty's and McKelvey missing definitely told at times, three experienced championship players, especially Ultan with man marking Niall O'Donnell, he got that bit more room with Ultan out. Also McKelvey's calmness on the ball and usually chips in with one or two scores.
But in fairness Eunans should probably have been more ahead at half time
It's usually fine margins between Eunans and us, and sometimes you win and get that bit of luck.
I must say, it was played in a very sporting manner and at the end of the game boths teams showed great respect. I hope they go and win it now.
I must say I believe that was kilcars last chance and they blew it, but fair play to Michaels.

Good luck to all the rest of the championship

How about St. Michaels, thought they were dead and buried with that penalty but a great save from McGinley and they turn it around miraculously. Was mentioned on the commentary but I wonder would Langan be tempted back if it was feasible for the semi final which is very winnable, with no disrespect to Dungloe who were great against Glenswilly and are a very physical side.
