Replying To Sligoman1234:  "It was a good guess for Calry...given the game was over! Agree on your assessment of Mary's they're in more need of a win than Harps I feel as they've been stagnant at senior level the last 4/5 years. John's did what I didn't think they would do and slipped up to Owenmore Gaels....granted it was a last moment goal that caught them but for it to happen twice does not bode well for them in the Junior Championship."
Yes, I blushed when I saw that the game was played yesterday evening. I thought it was on this evening. In my defense I had it posted much earlier but it just wasn't posted until long after the game was over.
My prediction for today's game was good if I may say so myself. Harp's a lot of young players gave it a good shot but the experience of Marys came through in the end.

Enjoyable Div 1 final.
Conor Walsh again very good along with Dorrian, Molloy and Henry for Harp's.
Mary's well served by O Kelly Lynch, MC Govern, O Heir, Rooney, Mulligan.
A great start for Harp's but Marys clawed their way back into it particularly before halftime.
They were the best team from there on and possibly will be one of the favourites for the championship.

Times and venues out for round 1 & 2 of championship which is welcome. Some of the choices of venues though are very strange to say the least.

Unfortunately this is all too common for championship due to some clubs being well looked after and others almost punished. Coolera and Drumcliffe in Keash is ridiculous. Equally watch you'll see Castleconnor and Enniscrone won't have to travel too far across the Ox Mountains anytime and the one time Enniscrone do it's to play Farnans in Curry! Surely that was a game for Easkey or Castleconnor. The powers that be must be very jealous of the World Cup organisers where they could drag teams across three countries.

I think the idea some clubs are being looked after doesn't hold water. Farnans and Pats going to cloonacool to play each other is a bit mad. Castleconnor are going to Tour to play Curry in round 2. Lets see what the rest of the fixtures turn out to be before we pass judgement.
