Replying To GreenandRed:  "Unfortunately Yew Tree Colmans were outclassed today. St Pats controlled it almost for the duration. Congratulations to them."
St. Pat's were very good. Powerful outfit and played some lovely flowing football. Their goals were excellent.

Yes very disappointing. St Pats looked so much more physical and conditioned but were the better team by a country mile. No complaints. Colmans can hold their head up though. Much better Colmans teams in the past on failed to reach a Connacht final never mind an all Ireland final.

That comment makes no sence - "Much better Colmans teams in the past on failed to reach a Connacht final never mind an all Ireland final". Just kicking a bunch of young lads who achieved an awful lot and were outmatched on the day.
Comment is just nonsense.

Replying To yew_tree:  "I think it's a very long shot we get relegated. The main issue for me is what to do in the Donegal game? I know even a win, other results have to fall out way but do we really want to get to a league final? Thing is I'm not sure Donegal do either….could be a B v B game in Castlebar."
We have no choice but to go and give it everything and get the win. I think it's a case of go to the final or get relegated. Tyrone will be going all out to beat Dublin because a loss guarantees relegation. Armagh I expect to beat an already relegated Derry that will have nothing to play for except championship practice. I also expect Kerry to beat Galway because they won't want to go down. So for me it's either the final this year or play in division 2 next year. It's been a crazy year so far so why should it change now. Donegal avoid an unnecessary final with a loss so Mayo and Kerry in the National League Final.

Not kicking them I don't think Tirawley. I think the occassion got to them a bit. Was at the match yesterday, left side of Lower Hogan for Colmans and Athenry suporters was a lovely sight, and the Colmans 'ultras' near the pitch. Not sure how the people behind them got to see much of the game. Maghera had a pile of wides but never panicked, stuck to the game plan. But their defence was very composed and barely gave Colmans a sniff of the posts in the first half. Even in the second half Colmans were too tentative. When they let the handbrake off they createda few openings. A brilliant save for a certain Colmans goal. As Yew said they were a bigger stronger team than Colmans but their skills and decision making was far better. No shame in losing to them, 6 time winners, but Colmans won't be too happy with their performance.

I think Dublin will beat Tyrone which will confirm our safety either way. Also wouldn't rule out Galway or Derry winning tbh.

We're 66/1 with the bookies to be relegated which tells the story.

Mayo have a great chance of being in a league final too.

How nonsense? Colmans deserve every bit of praise for getting to the final. I'm a former student and was hoping they would do it. However and it's been talk around the area that very good teams perhaps even better than this current one have failed to get this far in the past.

66/1 that could be worth 10 euros

That's what I've been saying. Kerry and Mayo could contest the final or one of the two them could get relegated. Crazy year

Mayo 1-15 Roscommon 0-13 full time in the Connacht u20 championship. Mayo should have been home and hosed but for some woeful kicking (13 wides). Totally dominated the game. Hugh O Loughlain looks a baller.

The new rules could suit us better because any team can tack on seven or eight points in a short spell. We won't be let try and sit on a lead and try and play keep ball until the final whistle, we're forced to keep attacking. Very early days and can't judge any team yet but there's definite improvement on the early rounds of the league. No point in putting Kerry on a pedestal before next Sunday. If we've aspirations to go far into this season we need to be confident facing any team.

Maigh Eo Abú!

Yesterday we had numerous chances to kick scores but chose to cycle the ball back out only to lose in going back in. We need to take our scores when the opportunity presents itself.

Nice win last night in Tuam. That should see us into the Connacht final. A fine kick by young Beirne off the bench to win it. Fortunate penalty maybe, player was facing away from goal and it was more clumsy by the defender. Galway did get a free against McMonagle which was an excellent tackle. Costello looks a player for Galway.

Overall though, two fine teams. Will prob lay meet again once of not twice.
