Replying To Yvrjd: "I have to laugh when I hear people talking about four Connacht titles as if it's some massive achievement. In reality, there are only really three teams capable of regularly winning a Connacht title, Galway, Mayo and Roscommon. Sligo might win one every 20 or 25 years, and Leitrim maybe once every 50 years. And there's no point including New York or London, let's be honest. So realistically, most years it's a competition between three teams, meaning you're really only competing against two others for a Connacht title. I wouldn't be getting too carried away with four Connacht titles as some huge achievement." That's all well and good but when is the last time Galway did 4 in a row in Connacht?

Replying To Monaghanmad123: "The tullycorbet parish will be home to two championship winners this year! If they were able to join together would probably lose to ballinode/scotstown/tydavnet and knockatallon by 5 or 6" Tydavnet is one parish.

Replying To fairplay4ever: "Was at the Corofin v Caherlistrane game and very entertaining in tough conditions.
Man of the match was Rory Fahey for Corofin and well deserved.Hard to understand how he wasnt part of Galway minor panel this year.Couldnt be 12 better forwards in the county
Not far behind was Caherlistrane midfielder." Is Rory Fahey the big lad that play at 14 for the Corofin minors? If so he is very dominant. Im also confused how he was not involved with the Galway Minors this year. (I heard only 3 lads not involved with the u16 winning ted webb team were selected from the trials of 80+ lads) Saw him play in the championship and he is an absolute handful, has speed and strength. Someone mentioned to me hes a very competitive basketball player as well. Definitely one to watch out for

Replying To Claretandblue: "If they get within ten points of The Downs then it will be a very good performance, it's their first senior championship knockout fixture in over 20 years so they're in bonus territory." Bonus territory, a position they find themselves in thanks to a Championship structure that's nothing short of a disgrace. Moate have only beaten the teams ranked 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th and now find themselves in a County Semi Final. If that does not expose how flawed the championship structure is, nothing will.

Replying To ahsure.: "That's all well and good but when is the last time Galway did 4 in a row in Connacht?" '82-'87 did 5 out of 6, which was better in a way, unless Galway win it next year, and do their own 5 out of 6. The difference between Galway's 4 in a row '22-25, and Mayo's '11-'15 or Ros '77-'80, is that Galway were winning in less dominant fashion in Connacht as their reign progressed. We accumulated 4 in a row, with only paper thin margins of victory over Mayo, despite all the grandiose talk of being a generational team. Then again, Sam now resides in Mayo, which proves conclusively that they were never far off us '22-'25.
