Sligo GAA thread

St marys to win in tight fame their name is on the cup not playing well but winning tight matches. Win ing is a habit and st marys have played alot mire football than shamrock gaels, however shamrock gaels have played the better football throughout the championship. Finals are usually tight affairs so thats why i think st marys will win and celebrate their 50 year anniversary in style.
I would like to see st johns win the minor title they were unlucky last year and need to give theur club a badly needed boost.

Be tight lads. Marys by a point. A bit too streetwise.

I expected Marys to win and they were full value for it. Their defence was excellent and I don't think one Gaels forward played to their potential. Mary's should have won by more and they coped with 2 dubious penalties that went against them. They were also lucky that Mulligans foolish indiscretion at the end came to nothing.

Interesting final yesterday. Marys were better prepared, focused and deserved to win. SG maybe thay will blame the break but they were very disjointed and many of their players will want to forget the game as its not like they did not have chances, they just made poor decisions and had poor execution on the day. They could have done a smash and grab at the end but with 1 point between the teams and SG having momentum and the aid of the breeze it was Marys that got the decisive score. Not many would have predicted Marys to make a clean sweep of Senior competitions this year. Also Marys management made some me good calls on the starting line up and their younger players delivered. I'd also say that all the current county players on display didnt do much to enhance their reputations as i would say the stand out players were Lynch, Brady, Campbell, Young, N. Rooney, TOKL, C. Kenny and N. Kenny.

Very poor game I taught with no real intensity shown especially from SG who were behind for most of game.

This really bothers me as I watched the intermediate final last week and some players especially the county ones, they don't show any emotion when losing.

I'd like to see some aggression or something but it's like they have conceded to defeat with 20 mins left.

If I were Sloyan and O Hara I wouldn't be impressed...with club football finished I hope our county players are the hitting the gym hard while also hitting Strandhill sand dunes running up them like race horses.
