Yup, congrats to Eoin Porter. Some great performances this year, and as nice a fella as you could meet too.

On the finals coming up - think I only got one out of five correct the last time I tried predictions, so I won't bother going into detail on reasonings behind these ones as they'll probably be wrong anyway, but here goes:
Kilanerin
Horeswood
Rosslare
Blackwater
St. Josephs
St. James

Glynn-Barntown to win the relegation final replay.

Glynn Barntown relegated out of senior football. Only a few years ago there second team was intermediate and looked like they could win a senior title. Now there intermediate and second team is junior. Shows how quickly it can change.

No different than Martins ,Starlights, Annes . No team has a divine right to play Senior. If they are Intermediate its because they are no longer good enough to play Senior. But yes your point is valid.
There is probably 1 team who are considered top 4 in hurling or football right now who wont be Senior in 2030.

Missing too many of their best Footballers between injuries and being in America, Australia and England.

Aaron Breen was a loss alright, most of there better footballers seem to be retired, Regan, Fanning, Crosbie lads that could score.

So Cloughbawn in Senior and both Glynn and Starlights in Intermediate

Had you told someone that back in 2020, they'd probably have thought that you were insane

2 entertaining games in Wexford Park today. Cloughbawn completely dominated. 2.20 from play in footfall is some going. Flood will probably miss hurling now but they did not miss him today.

Red card, which was 2 silly tackles was huge in the other game.

Well, 1-20 from play, considering they scored a goal from a penalty :)

But yeah, a seriously impressive performance all right, and I'm amazed by easily they blew Horeswood away. I'd say that Zak Hernan is definitely one with a good senior inter-county career ahead of him. The Shane McDonald who came on for Connal Flood had a great game too. He looks like he could nearly get away with playing Under 14, or definitely Under 16, but he was well up to the task today!

Cloughbawn put in a mighty effort today. Hard to believe they are senior football but fully deserved. Horeswood very disappointing. Never came out of the dressing room and were always chasing once they fell behind. Flood will be a massive loss but Davidstown looked tired today which will make for a interesting hurling final.

Blackwater deservedly got over the line. Davidstown better in first half but Blackwater far better team in second half, with some nice footballers. They have been there or there bouts last few years and probably better than junior grade. Once they scored the goal there was only going to be once winner

Cloughbawn have the talent to establish themselves as a consistent senior football team too, maybe not as yo-yoing as the hurling (if they win that next weekend).

There are some serious players there, whatever about Cathal Kehoe doing well at county level, Darragh and Shane are good too, Zac Hernan is talented, and by all accounts the two Whittys love the big ball, which is unusual in what is preceived as a hurling-orientated club. Connall Flood is as good at football as he is at hurling.

Delighted for the old stagers too like Squingy and Gavin Murphy, sure only last year they broke their intermediate A final hoodoo and now they are at the highest level possible. Fair play. I just hope they give football a fair crack now

Is nt it strange the way football is going . Cloughbawn winning inter martins in senior final .
Is it just me or could it be they enjoy it more as no real perceived pressure on them they can just go out and play something for themselves .
Like a hobby outside hurling where they are constantly and relentlessly under pressure. Thats not saying they are nt well prepared and good enough that's just saying they can take the shackles off and cut loose play with belief and enjoyment the way all shoukd be able to play without fear of failure or criticism.
Hoping fir an exciting open game today and I gimme the Martins the nod for all the above reeasobs if they ve shaken off the disappointment of kast Sunday and all the pressure that brought .
Bodies and minds recovered will be a huge factor too .
