The only chokers yesterday were the town! How many Finals and Semi Finals have Loughrea choked!! Really fancy Turlough to win the Final. katser (Galway) - Posts: 2556 - 16/10/2023 13:25:46 2508631 Link
Replying To Pope_Benedict: "Turlough missing 'starters', but didn't one of their 'nonstarters' bag 1-2 from midfield, when he eh......started!!" Tom Quirke? I'm pretty sure he has started every game for them this year, either at midfield or corner forward. galway19 (Galway) - Posts: 888 - 16/10/2023 13:38:31 2508637 Link
Replying To clare_sparrow: "Fair play to Thomass they will walk the final. over the last few years turlock have turned into chokers so surprised they got to a final. Harder and harder to argue against Thomass being called the greatest club team to come out of Galway now. Loughrea really missed Ryan yesterday but thats the way it happens. Delighted to see David Burke coming on at the end yesterday too. Looked in super shape too. really felt this was loughreas year, not sure where they go from here." I cant wait for Turloughmore to prove you wrong, Thomas's will have it all to do to "Walk the final". Thomas's are not the team you are making them out to be. Turloughmore will be hard bet in a county final, mark my words. LetsPlayBall (Galway) - Posts: 64 - 16/10/2023 14:06:46 2508647 Link
Turlough 7/4 to lift the cup is a mighty price. galway19 (Galway) - Posts: 888 - 16/10/2023 14:17:38 2508652 Link
Replying To galway19: "Tom Quirke? I'm pretty sure he has started every game for them this year, either at midfield or corner forward." Thanks for the update I was listening to GBFM, where I'm nearly sure they suggested that 'TomTom' wasn't a regular starter....perhaps at midfield? I don't doubt that you are more informed on the matter, if you've been looking at Turloughmore all season. Pope_Benedict (Galway) - Posts: 4126 - 16/10/2023 14:28:25 2508659 Link

A point or two. You've been right a lot this year so I wouldn't be shocked if you were right about this too. Loughrea and Clarenbridge are my biggest disappointments of this year's Championship.

Bad weekend for Loughrea.........beaten Saturday in Junior A Final, beaten Sunday in Senior Semi Final and beaten Monday evening in Junior E Semi Final!!!! katser (Galway) - Posts: 2556 - 17/10/2023 12:23:03 2508809 Link
Replying To katser: "Bad weekend for Loughrea.........beaten Saturday in Junior A Final, beaten Sunday in Senior Semi Final and beaten Monday evening in Junior E Semi Final!!!!" Very true but better days are ahead for them I'd say. There's a lot of parishes that wish they were as good and competitive as them.

I had to laugh driving through mullagh at the weekend all the flags and banners. Can you imagine the place if they ever actually got to a real county final.. haha. clare_sparrow (Galway) - Posts: 441 - 17/10/2023 16:59:56 2508888 Link

How many adult hurling teams have you in Galway? Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 15666 - 17/10/2023 17:05:52 2508892 Link

Mullagh got to a county final, the only one they could qualify for, like it or not, and surely having a bit of local hype and noise around the place is good for the area (I imagine, I haven't been there in a while) and what harm is it doing to you anyway?

I think that last weekend is as a good a chance Loughrea will have for a while. They have been quite lucky to keep their panel together with not having many county players so they probably had the most continuity across the whole year. Won the league handy with pretty much their championship panel. Coen and Huban haven't much time left and you wouldn't say they have the young talent coming through that Clarinbridge, Oranmore and Turloughmore have. galway19 (Galway) - Posts: 888 - 18/10/2023 11:07:55 2508994 Link

Replying To galway19: "Junior championship goes down as far as Junior F" Any idea how many adult teams you have? I presume there must be clubs up your way with 3 or even 4? Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 15666 - 18/10/2023 11:26:22 2508999 Link

Anyways I doubt very much that your mean spirited jibes will bother any fair minded contributors to this forum. No doubting the Town will rally again - as they always do .

Replying To Viking66: "Any idea how many adult teams you have? I presume there must be clubs up your way with 3 or even 4?" I know Sarsfields had a team in Junior F which would be their fourth team. Coincidentally, they had 42 players listed on the programme last weekend in the senior semi final. galway19 (Galway) - Posts: 888 - 18/10/2023 12:46:35 2509024 Link

Im only having a laugh. You'd want to lighten up. Mullagh lads are always the first to dish it out when they get the opportunity. clare_sparrow (Galway) - Posts: 441 - 18/10/2023 13:47:55 2509036 Link
