SATURDAY'S CLUB RESULTS https://hoganstand.com/Article/Index/334220 Cuala possibly have gotten through the match that is most likely to determine the Leinster champions. A good attacking game live on RTE. Far better and competitive than any Dublin intercounty games in the province. Kilcoo and Ballina Stephenites progressed to their respective semi-finals as expected. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 8296 - 10/11/2024 08:29:02 2579081 Link

Both well supported and proof that you can be a "super club" - as both Naas and Cuala are relative to others - and have big community support outside of the playing numbers. Crokes footballers have very small numbers. Hurlers a bit better attended. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3145 - 10/11/2024 11:31:40 2579089 Link
Great first half between Corofin v Padraig Pearces, really good counter attacking football. One thing I've noticed is how has the ref not pulled PP's no 15 for steps? He took over 10 steps for the goal and the point before half time. I noticed it a couple of weeks ago in another championship match it seems players are getting away with it. Maybe instead of new rule changes they need to look at the basics a bit more. crnm (Donegal) - Posts: 101 - 10/11/2024 14:11:14 2579096 Link

Always happens refs allow extra steps when fouled. Point before half time should been pulled. And I am no Pearses fan. Corofin we're very poor. No forwards any good. Pearses will take beaten now sourmilk93 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1186 - 10/11/2024 15:55:32 2579106 Link
SUNDAY'S CLUB RESULTS https://hoganstand.com/Article/Index/334228 Big win for Dr Crokes over Castlehaven. It was a good attacking game. Dr Crokes are going well. A lot of confidence in the side and rightly so after a successful year so far. Waterford champions up next. Éire Óg will be pleased. Poor Adare forced to play only a week after winning Limerick. Will be interesting to see how they get on against the Tipp champions. A good win for Clann Eireann in Ulster. Errigal Ciaran through as well. Kilcoo won yesterday. Going to be some battle for that Ulster title. Ardee and Tullamore through to the Leinster semi-finals. It has been a great weekend of football. There's even a quarter-final coming up on Tuesday night!! legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 8296 - 10/11/2024 21:13:37 2579150 Link

Limerick are one of the few counties not giving their champions more than a week to prepare. 8 rounds of hurling and 8 rounds of football to get through. Following the weekends results; Cuala, Dr Crokes, Padraig Pearses and Kilcoo are among the current favourites. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 8296 - 11/11/2024 17:41:25 2579261 Link

Watching Cuala twice this year,.I'd fancy St Mary's of Louth to beat them They are a serious team, 6 or 7 Louth players on their team aswell DundalkGael (Louth) - Posts: 917 - 13/11/2024 01:04:40 2579447 Link

St. Mary's are going strong. Their semi-final opponents are yet to be confirmed. Should be an interesting final if it pans out as you're predicting. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 8296 - 13/11/2024 18:31:51 2579561 Link
Pádraig Pearse are most impressive team ive seen so far. Wet my beak at 10/1. Rossie form is good form and they took Corofin- many people's favourite let it be recalled- apart. Final score nó reflection on dominance imho. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3145 - 13/11/2024 20:56:11 2579569 Link
Scotstown, Ballina, Padraig Pearses and St Lomans are the favourites this weekend. Seems to be all hurling on TV. SATURDAY 16 NOVEMBER Ulster Club SFC quarter-final Erne Gaels (Fermanagh) V Scotstown (Monaghan) SUNDAY 17 NOVEMBER Connacht club SFC semi-finals Coolera-Strandhill (Sligo) v Ballina Stephenites (Mayo) Mohill (Leitrim) v Padraig Pearses (Roscommon) Leinster Club SFC quarter-final St Lomans (Westmeath) v Castletown (Wexford) legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 8296 - 14/11/2024 21:05:47 2579648 Link
Coolera-Standhill upset the odds to knock Ballina out on penalties. Padraig Pearses blew Mohill away in the second half. Padraig Pearses will be raging hot favourites in the final. Scotstown have the tough challenge of Kilcoo next. St Lomans has a good win today. Scotstown interestingly are the current slight favourites to win Ulster. Padraig Pearses, Cuala and Dr Crokes are clear favourites. Cuala the overall favourites. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 8296 - 17/11/2024 18:52:40 2580024 Link

Ballina as getting beaten may be a shock to those outside the county but not for most within. It will be 10 years next year since a Mayo senior club won Connacht. The standard of the Mayo senior championship is very worrying. As for our county team I fear 2025 will be worse than 2024. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11412 - 17/11/2024 20:23:12 2580037 Link

I have to say I thought it was a poor standard. Seanfanbocht (Roscommon)** - Posts: 1963 - 17/11/2024 23:27:48 2580069 Link
Replying To Seanfanbocht: "I saw some of the Mayo final on **. I have to say I thought it was a poor standard." Rathgormack (Waterford) v Dr. Crokes (Kerry) - After knocking out Castlehaven with a bit to spare, Crokes are the red hot favourites here. Éire Óg (Clare) v Loughmore Castleiney (Tipperary) - Éire Óg expected to make home advantage count. To setup a final in Limerick I imagine. St Joseph's, Miltown Malbay were the last Clare club to make the final in 2018. Dr Crokes won it out on that occasion. Scotstown (Monaghan) v Kilkoo (Down) - The winners are expected to win Ulster outright. Clann Eireann (Armagh) v Errigal Ciaran (Tyrone) - Errigal Ciaran favourites to make the final. St Lomans (Westmeath) v St Marys Ardee (Louth) - Seems to be a tough one to call. I know someone on here fancies St Marys to challenge Cuala. Cuala (Dublin) v Tullamore (Offaly) - No doubts about the expected favourites here. I think RTE mentioned they are covering this one.

This weekend's fixtures as always are available: https://hoganstand.com/Fixtures/" Errigal have had 2 easy matches in the first 2 rounds, seeing off the Donegal and Antrim champions. They had way tougher matches in the Tyrone championship. Kilcoo would be a tough match, but Scotstown are beatable - the ref shamefully gifted them a semi v Trillick last year, and if it's an Errigal - Kilcoo final, it'll be close. Normally, 2 handy matches shouldn't stand to you, but Errigal will have been glad to find their feet in Ulster, as Tyrone teams generally don't have the luxury of reurning year on year. Don't rule out Errigal. points50swiththeargyllsonthewrongfeet (Tyrone) - Posts: 281 - 21/11/2024 19:49:21 2580648 Link

You're some chancer, he was fouled on the 3rd step, broke free from that on the 6th step and kicked the goal on the 10th. So that makes it a perfect legal score, catch yourself on. dontlookback (Galway) - Posts: 279 - 22/11/2024 07:14:35 2580670 Link
Kilcoo and Dr Crokes have the bigger profile of the remaining teams. Big expectations from Cuala then for obvious reasons. Kilcoo have some challenge ahead of them this weekend. I'm not too in favour of RTE's choice of game for this weekend. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 8296 - 22/11/2024 18:50:48 2580760 Link

Replying To sligo joe: "Did he hop or solo the ball?" 5.44 When an Aggressive Foul is committed, the Referee may allow the play to continue if he considers it to be to the advantage of the offended team. He shall signal that advantage by raising an arm upright and shall allow the advantage to run by maintaining his arm in the upright position for up to five seconds after the foul or for less time if it becomes clear that no advantage has accrued. If he deems no advantage to have accrued, he may subsequently award a free for the foul from where it occured, except as provided under Exceptions (v) and (vi) of Rule dontlookback (Galway) - Posts: 279 - 23/11/2024 12:34:33 2580809 Link
