I think Glynn will start and Sean Kelly will be out the field. Hernon possibly an option at 3.

Fair enough! Agree on Glynn, I'd rate McGrath ahead of him. Molloy is returning from a very serious injury so will wait and see if he can return to his 2022 form and do think Hernon will be putting him under serious pressure. I just wish we were producing the quality of forwards that we seem to be producing in the backs in recent years.

I think Sweeney will be putting pressure on Heaney, similar players who can play anywhere. Just hope Cooke commits for 2024 TheBishop (Galway) - Posts: 285 - 24/11/2023 12:57:12 2514456 Link 0 |
McGrath was arguably or player of the year in 23

No one seems to be mentioning James McLaughlin or Tomo Culhane? 2 excellent prospects from what I've seen of them. McLaughlin I know is very injury prone but he is the prototype dominant modern midfielder in my opinion while Culhane was a very good ball winner and leader for the u20 All Ireland winning team as a first year u20. Will we see them with Galway in 24? Kerry15 (Kerry) - Posts: 969 - 24/11/2023 14:44:20 2514480 Link 2 |
McLaughlin does seem to have a lot of the raw materials to be a top midfielder. He has been very unfortunate with injury and missed a lot of football. He definitely showed bits in this year's senior club championship, but he needs plenty more games. Tomo was on the panel in 2023 and got some championship game time. He didn't make a big impression though and seemed to struggle in his time on the pitch against Tyrone. He'll be hoping to push on next year.

With all due respect to London, we need to learn from last year - the serious stuff starts at q. final stage, with incremental progress in between. We need to leave the Connaught dog fight to Mayo and Ros. next year, and try to maintain a clean bill of health. The two most important positions in the modern game are: goalie and midfield. So, do we have a Cluxton or Fenton in the county? No and No!! ..ball burst! Really (Galway) - Posts: 619 - 24/11/2023 16:09:39 2514498 Link 4 |

Would be a significant loss if true. Was Moycullen's best player this year with Kelly injured a good bit. Had a slow start with Galway this year but was really coming into form towards the end.

Congrats to Killannin on winning the U19 A. Beating Corofin. After beating Salthill in the west board final. They must have a good crop there. Marooned (Galway) - Posts: 2261 - 25/11/2023 15:20:35 2514571 Link 2 |

I thought Cooke upset the chemistry of the side a bit this year. Got his hands on loads of possession, but rarely tends to deliver the momentum that'll trouble intercounty defences. Not very creative either. More likely to land 0-4 from range for himself, than to create 0-4 for other players to score. That lack of creativity is a problem, if you're a prospective intercounty midfielder or half forward.

His decision making always slow - resulting in either having to recycle or, as frequently happened, giving up possession after a sloppy pass. Maher has some useful midfield attributes, but he too needs to up the tempo of his distribution - remains to be seen if he has that skill in his locker. I haven't seen young Cogger playing, but cranky seems v. impressed with his potential. So, should be worth looking at. Perhaps Pj might start looking at sons of former Galway IC players based in Dublin. Young Gavin a few years ago was involved in the Dublin panel and seemed a good prospect..

No mention on here about yesterday Intermediate Connacht final. Monivea Abbey had a big home support in attendance but I'm guessing few it none of the Galway posters on here went to the match or watched the live stream? The_analyser (Roscommon) - Posts: 3861 - 26/11/2023 20:09:43 2514641 Link 4 |
Didn't see any of the intermediate final but not that surprising that Monivea Abbey lost. They've been in a lot of tight games recently and scraped through them but the loss of McDaid was going to be felt eventually. He's a difference maker for them at this level. Hopefully Castlerea can go all the way now.

Kinvara has retained the North Board u19 B title... no small feat for a club from a hurling dominant area. Some talented players on show but you would fear that many will inevitably lost to the small ball. Would be great to see them build on that Junior B team who were competive this year.

@The_Analyser Congratulations that a random intermediate club from your county won a Connacht title at the weekend. Might be the straw to break the one sided nature we've seen between the counties in championship in recent years PressureKick (UK) - Posts: 235 - 27/11/2023 08:27:53 2514670 Link 0 |
No , we were waiting for the Roscommon supporters to invade and start the gloating. And you didn't let us down.
