Replying To anotheralias: "Understood. I also want to clarify something that I said in error on an earlier post. I hadnt done enough research. I hadnt realised that Monivea had defaulted on a few games ( disgraceful that a team is deemed good enough for A and then cant field - I dont accept it to be honest) . This meant that under the old rule all results v Monivea are cancelled and Dunmore would have lost out regardless of which rule, so I dont know what the grounds for appeal were. Sorry again if I misled people. My point re the potential conundrum in Senior is still valid though..." Monivea didn't play any other game in group.Dunmore beat them by 22 points.Which made their points difference so much better than others on similar points.When Monivea result was taken out Dunmore were gone.

Anyone know how the intermediate relegation works? Do the losers of the 2 games go down or are they in a group of 4? Do they all cross play? Sportsfanatic90 (Westmeath) - Posts: 226 - 16/09/2023 18:17:14 2504447 Link
Replying To Sportsfanatic90: "Anyone know how the intermediate relegation works? Do the losers of the 2 games go down or are they in a group of 4? Do they all cross play?" Group. All play each other. Donaldtrump (Galway) - Posts: 252 - 16/09/2023 21:25:16 2504460 Link
Big win for Salthill v Corofin in the u 17 q final.. Salthill v Tuam Oranmore v Claregalway Two semi finals.. Galwaymaster9 (Galway) - Posts: 397 - 17/09/2023 22:17:31 2504555 Link
Replying To Galwaymaster9: "Big win for Salthill v Corofin in the u 17 q final.. Salthill v Tuam Oranmore v Claregalway Two semi finals.." In U17 I think winner of Oranmore v Claregalway will win it. Oranmore gave Salthill an awful hammering. ref (Galway) - Posts: 253 - 18/09/2023 10:32:40 2504580 Link
Big win for salthill in fairness but can't see anyone coming within 15 points of Oranmore hard understand how they only had 2-3 or Galway minors this year I'd say they would almost beat them ,, Kickitout (Galway) - Posts: 965 - 18/09/2023 14:27:07 2504621 Link
Replying To Kickitout: "Big win for salthill in fairness but can't see anyone coming within 15 points of Oranmore hard understand how they only had 2-3 or Galway minors this year I'd say they would almost beat them ,," I think a few Oranmore lads played Hurling as well. In fairness they are also pulling from Clarinbridge as well so they are a bit like Claregalway in that they are not a one parish club. Which I may add is not Oranmore's fault as a lot of hurling clubs dont allow football in their parish so the young lads who play football need somewhere to go. Also last year Claregalway had 6 on the minor team (when really there was only 2/3 of them worth their place) and Moycullen still won county title (and they had 1 maybe 2). Some teams are better with a sum of their worth not just 1 to 2 stars. LottoPlus (Kilkenny) - Posts: 85 - 19/09/2023 11:23:20 2504775 Link

I am deeply confused. MapleSyrup (Galway) - Posts: 165 - 19/09/2023 11:40:53 2504784 Link
Replying To MapleSyrup: "Since when are Claregalway not 1 parish ? Are Corofin, Annaghdown, Mountbellew Moylugh classified as 1 parish ? I am deeply confused." His wording isn't great, but he's referring to lads from Carnmore and Turlough playing football for Claregalway, as they don't field football teams. Where are the club boundaries for this new Lackagh football team? WanPintWin (Galway) - Posts: 2223 - 19/09/2023 12:42:58 2504797 Link
Replying To MapleSyrup: "Since when are Claregalway not 1 parish ? Are Corofin, Annaghdown, Mountbellew Moylugh classified as 1 parish ? I am deeply confused." Claregalway is 1 parish. Claregalway GAA pulls from its own parish as well as the parish of Turloughmore/Lackagh. Its not one bit confusing. Corofin , Annaghdown and Mountbellew/Moylough all draw players from a single parish. anotheralias (Galway) - Posts: 960 - 19/09/2023 12:55:33 2504799 Link
Interesting take that you think Corofin and Annaghdown only have a catchment area of 1 parish.... and by interesting, i mean factually incorrect. MapleSyrup (Galway) - Posts: 165 - 19/09/2023 13:21:08 2504807 Link
Replying To WanPintWin: "His wording isn't great, but he's referring to lads from Carnmore and Turlough playing football for Claregalway, as they don't field football teams. Where are the club boundaries for this new Lackagh football team?" Clarenbridge and Craughwell drove football out if the area so these lads play with mostly Oranmore through no fault of their own.Lads ftom Carnmore and Turloughmore play with Claregalway although some do go to Corofin on the border,Daithi Burke being example and there is a family connection.

Replying To MapleSyrup: "Interesting take that you think Corofin and Annaghdown only have a catchment area of 1 parish.... and by interesting, i mean factually incorrect." Is Belclare a separate parish?Is Corundulla a separate parish?Just a question. Alwaysencourage (Galway) - Posts: 372 - 19/09/2023 14:16:14 2504822 Link
Replying To MapleSyrup: "Interesting take that you think Corofin and Annaghdown only have a catchment area of 1 parish.... and by interesting, i mean factually incorrect." Please clarify . Maybe I am incorrect but Corofin and Belclare are both parts of same parish. Corrandulla is part of Annaghdown parish. There will always be cases where players on the border of 1 parish play with the club that is not part of their own parish but I would be surprised if either of these clubs had more than a couple of players (if any) outside the parish boundaries. I am open to correction on this and I wont make a bold statement that you are factually incorrect , but this was always my understanding. anotheralias (Galway) - Posts: 960 - 19/09/2023 14:40:37 2504827 Link

Corrofin is in the parish of Cummer. This is the info given re Belclare on www.logainm.ie BARONY Baile Chláir/Clare CIVIL PARISH Béal Chláir/Belclare TOWNLAND Béal Chláir/Claretuam A bit confusing as it has Béal Chláir in Irish for both Belclare and Claretuam. baire (Galway) - Posts: 1849 - 19/09/2023 20:11:01 2504867 Link

How come very little Galway club games on Tg4. Plenty of Kerry and Northern clubs. And some Dubs. galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2585 - 20/09/2023 11:00:03 2504901 Link
Replying To anotheralias: "http://www.corofinbelclare.ie/" That's referring to a Catholic church parish. Civil parishes are older - GAA clubs are connected to the civil parishes. baire (Galway) - Posts: 1849 - 20/09/2023 11:55:19 2504912 Link
