Just reading through previous messages on this forum there are some awful ***** on it that think they know it all behind a keyboard. Anyways, Moycullen and Corofin both to go through for me. Moycullen I'd expect to win comfortable enough in the end by 3+ pts. Flemenstar200 (Galway)** - Posts: 65 - 20/10/2023 09:20:55 2509352 Link
Claregalway: As a club outstanding, but as we all know underage success does not mean senior success. So why? Huge population with so many options for sport. Take any team in claregalway and when you delve down there is at least 50 to 60 even 70% dual players. Turloughmore and Caronmore and some from Castlegar. Coupled with soccer and rugby you get a high number of kids who don't have a sole football focus. A few years ago Claregalway won Minor A and B so why only 1 u19 team 2 years later. Teams only have players every second week etc etc. It will take a long time to get a group of players to drive them at senior level in my opinion. galwaygoal (Galway) - Posts: 170 - 20/10/2023 09:24:08 2509353 Link

Would be more fun, and indeed informative, if you listed by username the *** that you identified. Pope_Benedict (Galway)** - Posts: 3911 - 20/10/2023 14:37:25 2509466 Link
Moycullen once they get through this weekend will win the final comfortable enough. Tougher game for them against Mountbellew than Corofin or Moycullen. galway19 (Galway) - Posts: 806 - 20/10/2023 15:06:18 2509478 Link
Replying To Galwaymaster9: "No playing facilities??? The pitch is there at Lakeview! Fully equipped gym. Astro courts? What else is needed?" The pitch isn't anything to do with the school. They don't own any playing facilities. PierreBezuhov (UK) - Posts: 231 - 20/10/2023 21:17:25 2509517 Link
Replying To galway19: "Moycullen once they get through this weekend will win the final comfortable enough. Tougher game for them against Mountbellew than Corofin or Moycullen." What's everyone's predictions for today? I think they will be both tight enough. If Milltown or MM win, they will need goals. John Daly to Sean Kelly. Who do you think they'll have on Cooke? John Daly , Mike Daly , Patrick Kelly & Johnny Duane were superb the last day for Mountbellew Moylough. It's not going to be as easy as Moycullen think. There's a big game left in MM and they are going to bring the best out of them today. They also don't want to be giving Dessie handy frees.

Replying To PierreBezuhov: "The pitch isn't anything to do with the school. They don't own any playing facilities." They still have full use of all community resources so it doesn't make any difference. Alwaysencourage (Galway) - Posts: 372 - 21/10/2023 12:52:20 2509549 Link
That will be enough for Moycullen to keep the cup for another year. Neither of the sides playing tomorrow can match their running power in Pearse Stadium galway19 (Galway) - Posts: 806 - 21/10/2023 16:53:46 2509569 Link

Strange game, it never really took off, both teams very cautions of each other. Dessie gets some amount of scores just looping around a player inside the D, it was hard to see the incident at the end, it looked like David W dragging Barry Mc down but Molloy blew the game up and McHugh didn't complain.. Moycullen are hard beat. I hope tomorrow's game is a bit more attacking. GDL (Galway) - Posts: 776 - 21/10/2023 18:16:26 2509579 Link

Dessie Conneely played well good club forward. Flemenstar200 (Galway)** - Posts: 65 - 21/10/2023 23:23:23 2509606 Link
It never got going. A very defensive game. They were both strong defensively. I said it earlier on; but Mountbellow Moylough needed to focus on a goal if they were to win, and they just didn't get it. They focused too much on defending and they will be sickened not to have won that tonight . Can't understand why Moycullen still start Paul Kelly over Niall Walsh, who's far better. Paul lost the ball so many times today. Peter Cooke didn't make much of an appearance after last week's performance. Eoghan Kelly was excellent for Moycullen, David Wynne was solid. Not much else to report. I still don't think they will have it too handy in the final. Gearoid1998ffowaed (Galway) - Posts: 132 - 22/10/2023 01:56:43 2509611 Link
You wouldn't see defending like the Corofin third goal today from an under 8 team. galway19 (Galway) - Posts: 806 - 22/10/2023 16:13:05 2509634 Link
Replying To Flemenstar200: "Moycullen win by 3, comfortable enough really. Dessie Conneely played well good club forward." What? 11 -9 =2. Not 3 and I don't think that even the most ardent moycullen fan would suggest that it was comfortable. anotheralias (Galway) - Posts: 960 - 22/10/2023 16:14:17 2509635 Link

Eoghan Kelly below his normal standard Wynne solid. .agreed anotheralias (Galway) - Posts: 960 - 22/10/2023 17:27:57 2509642 Link
Great excitement in Tuam at the end, who said the game was all about possession, there is still a place for the big man in the square in club football. You'd imagine Corofin won't be as sloppy the next day, but Moycullen will have seen that when Milltown played direct they got chances. GDL (Galway) - Posts: 776 - 22/10/2023 18:07:19 2509650 Link
Comfortable win for Monivea Abbey, should be a good game v Kilconly in the final.. Galwaymaster9 (Galway) - Posts: 397 - 22/10/2023 19:00:08 2509658 Link
Replying To galway19: "You wouldn't see defending like the Corofin third goal today from an under 8 team." You wouldn't. And most under 8s would have made a better job of the free too! Job done and we are into another final. Looking forward to it. Thought our younger lads like Patrick Egan and Jack really stood up today. crankyincorofin (Galway) - Posts: 98 - 22/10/2023 19:35:49 2509665 Link
Looking at it from a county standpoint, the 2023 Senior Club Championship has brought about significant positives, including Kieran Molloy and Liam Silke's successful comebacks, Michael Daly and Patrick Kelly gaining valuable game time, and Sean Kelly and Peter Cooke enjoying a well-earned break. There has also been notable some performers throughout the Championship. Solidifying Their Significance Cathal Sweeney, Johnny McGrath, John Daly, and Johnny Heaney Putting their hand up Liam Costello, Patrick Egan, Jack Kirrane, Rory O'Connor, Nathan Grainger, Tony Gill, and Sam O'Neill have all stepped up Surprise Packages Mark Colleran and Shane McGrath have pleasantly surprised Age is but a number! Michael Martin, David Wynne, Johnny Duane, and Cathal Blake proving that they've still got it. Bright Prospects Colm Costello, Jack McCabe, Luc O'Connor, Jake Slattery, and Liam O'Conghaile are the future stars to watch. WonTon5 (Galway) - Posts: 20 - 22/10/2023 20:49:27 2509670 Link
St Michaels in bother after that defeat at the weekend. Some result by Naomh Anna given that they had been beaten in all of their group games. MrVelo (Galway) - Posts: 21 - 23/10/2023 08:57:33 2509719 Link

I hope PJ & co are able to decipher the relevant information here, from all these new 'oscar categories'. Pope_Benedict (Galway) - Posts: 3911 - 23/10/2023 09:39:25 2509728 Link
