Replying To GalwaysFinest: "He is from Cregmore, so should be playing with Claregalway really but obviously Turlough is a hurling club so they can pick who they play football for. And his father/uncle/cousins play with Corofin. His sister plays with Claregalway." Corofins net is massive. The amount of parishes it overs... even the parish of Claregalway. Sure the sub goalie James Healy should play with Claregalway and not Corofin. And his cousin Tom plays with Annaghdown. Crazy when you think of it.

And his cousin Tom plays with Annaghdown. Crazy when you think of it." Not one to jump to Corofin's defence but.... They do have a large pick but its drawn from within the parish. Daithi Burke is the only exception that I am aware of and in that instance there is a level of justification as although Turlough lads typically play for Claregalway , they do have a choice as Turlough parish has no football team and with the strong family connections it was a no-brainer call to go to Corofin, where I understand he played all of his underage too. I think , also, that you might have your Healy's mixed up anotheralias (Galway) - Posts: 979 - 18/11/2021 14:53:59 2389889 Link
Replying To Belclare: "Two cousins from different places playing for different clubs.... ya crazy alright! Daft post Piggy" Belclare with the deflection tactic. As per. Both Healys should play with Claregalway yet James plays (or used to play) with Corofin. Strange. Peggy11 (Galway) - Posts: 84 - 18/11/2021 14:59:11 2389891 Link
Replying To anotheralias: "Potential , yes. However you have to review this in the context of the gap from club senior to inter county not to mention the gap from club intermediate to inter county which is a completely different story. A case could be made for most of the players on Mountbellew team to be drafted in , and I would expect that they would not be out of place but in reality the important thing is that the ones that the ones that will add real value at inter county level are brought in from ALL clubs. In Mtbellew's case I would contend that the MUST HAVEs are Eoin Finnerty . Michael Daly, Patrick Kelly and John Daly." I'd agree on those 4. John Daly would have been a starter barring recent injury, I'd say. Michael couldn't commit this year, but I'd hope to see him back next year. Finnerty has obviously played quite a bit underage, but he has developed well since then. The one argument against him might be that he lacks pace, but he's a strong forward who can win his own ball and knows where the posts are. Kelly would definitely be worth trying too, as he gives a very different option than most of our forwards. He's very hard to handle under the high ball.

I'm a fan of Finnerty but don't think he is cut out for senior inter county Peggy11 (Galway) - Posts: 84 - 18/11/2021 15:59:37 2389902 Link

I agree Mountbellew have an array of talent there, The above you mentioned without a doubt also Foley and Mannion could be options, no doubt lots of them will be drafted in at the start of the intercounty year. Sean Andy and Barrett on Naomh Anna side that played with Galway in recent years and also a couple that played underage for Galway teams O MacDonnacha and Seoige. They could be drafted in early on to be worked on, both had terrific seasons. Galway_1972 (Galway) - Posts: 13 - 18/11/2021 20:25:21 2389927 Link

Replying To Peggy11: "Belclare with the deflection tactic. As per. Both Healys should play with Claregalway yet James plays (or used to play) with Corofin. Strange." Incorrect. James lives in the Annaghdown parish. His family are great club people. Tom, his cousin, lives on the other side of the road, which is Turlough parish, so he can choose what club he plays for. He used to play for Annaghdown underage, but transferred to Corofin around the minor age group. GalwaysFinest (Galway) - Posts: 193 - 19/11/2021 09:30:32 2389943 Link
Amazing the way that Liscaninane, Claregalway falls into parish of Annaghdown. Weird flex but ok. Peggy11 (Galway) - Posts: 84 - 19/11/2021 10:29:47 2389949 Link

Great to see Tipp Hurling manager bringing back the divisional competition in Tipperary to see players who mightnt usually get a huge amount of chances at the highest level. You would love to see it in Galway , have 4/5 teams like they have and run it over two weekends. I think in Tipp its free entry but raising money for local charitys. Connemara ( Moycullen, Kilanin, Oughterard, Clonbur, Carna, Renvyle , Clifden, L Mor,Ros Muc, Crua , MB, Spideal , City , Salthill, Micheals, James, OranMore, Claregalway, Eire Og, Annaghdown,Bearna North : Corofin, Tuam, Caherlistrane Headford, Kilconly, Milotown, Cortoon, Dunmore East : Blose, Caltra, Ballygar, Garbriels, Athnery ,Monivea, Menlouh, Moutbellew, I know i have left clubs out, and some would be in different places like Bearna should be in Conamara etc. But it would be something different . In tipp they have strong mentors for each team, lads playing who arent on the County Senior Panel , and its giving them a shop window. I think they have 2 Semi Finals and then a Final . I can feel the negative responses coming along already :) puckemhard (Galway) - Posts: 234 - 19/11/2021 11:22:03 2389957 Link

And his cousin Tom plays with Annaghdown. Crazy when you think of it." Other way around anyway. James plays for Annaghdown - Tom for Corofin. I seem to recall James coming on as a sub for Tom while still a minor in the 2013 AI u-21 final. Went on to have a mare for the minors later that summer against Mayo unfortunately. galwayman2 (Galway) - Posts: 1307 - 19/11/2021 12:26:57 2389972 Link
Replying To Peggy11: "I'm a fan of Finnerty but don't think he is cut out for senior inter county" Certainly looks a fine player. The (limited) bits I saw of him he didn't look hugely pacey which at I/C level is nearly a pre requisite. However he may surprise. Sometimes the bulkier looking players can actually move more than they are given credit for. Really hoping we get the 2 Daly's into the squad. Mike can disappoint at times but he certainly has that bit of stardust and on the dry summer sod can be a game changer. John i think is better the Dylan Mchugh. Mchugh did ok last year but John Daly is a level up IMO. He was outstanding before his injury. Very commanding at CB. Would love to see a corner back that everyone hates emerge! We need someone like that. Patrick Kelly, with his physical capabilities, certainly deserves a look. Any other potential county players emerge, maybe from clubs that didn't do to well?

Matthias Barett in midfield, Oisin MacDonnacha at 12 for sure. I wouldn't have Ronan macdonnacha at 14? They didn't even make it past the quarter final. Tyler from Oilean Arainn at 14. Team of the year: 1. Conor Gleason 2.Declan Rhatigan 3. SA Ceallaigh 4. Colin Lyons 5. Ciaran Bairead 6. Sean Mulkerrins 7. Patrick O Donnell 8. Matthias barrett 9. Matthew Reddington 10. Eamonn O Loinsigh 11. Warren Seoige 12. Oisin MacDonnacha 13. Dylan Seoige 14. Shane McGrath 15. Karol Healy What is team of the year and player of the year picked from? Newspapers? Referees? Shane McGrath (Dunmore) picked up two man of the match awards from newspapers (Tuam Herald) as did Oisin Mac Donnacha (Naomh Anna) from the quarter final stages on. Naomh Anna were winners so they will have the player of the year, Dylan Seoige, Mathhias Barrett and Oisin Mac Donnacha were the impressors for the Connemara side throughout, I believe it may be between them. McGrath could feel hard done by not getting an all star, he starred for them throughout. Galway_1972 (Galway) - Posts: 13 - 19/11/2021 13:45:28 2389986 Link
