Think both Semis will be very tight, not much between all 4 teams which makes the championship very exciting.

I'll go for Shamrocks and St Kiernans.

But wouldn't at all surprise me if it was a Heston Moindreag final!

Thats how close it is!!!

Pronane we got of to a bad start the umpire although signalling an off the ball incident did not press this with the referee!!! Disgraceful officiating!!!! But apart from that we are indeed rubbish, no point in hiding from that fact.

Moyles and O'Sullivan were missing, apart from that I don't know who else was missing from their first 15.

rosineiri its not my fault if the ref is deaf!!!

Btw in those parts they would try and tell you they were missing 10 or 11. Id put it to 4 or 5 at most from their normal starting line up. ONe thing I noticed about the kiernans is a lot of their players are very small in height. Very quick too though. Good goods and all that.

Maccurtains will want to get rid of the dirty element within their game, concentrate on playing football and they might do alright, that wasn't learnt on the coaching fields of roscommon.

Its going to be two tight semis alright. Probably the tightest semis, in the history of the GAA. No, really it will be tight though ( i know hoganstand will edit what i put next so ill leave it to your imagination).

Pronane you can't be calling us dirty, Shamrocks surely have the most sent off man in London GAA in their ranks!!! Some of our lads like to mix it a bit thats all! My clubmate from home didn't shy away from the scuffle the other nigh, think ye must be a bit soft over your side of the county....

I was at the game tuesday and even dow the mccurtains were very poor kiernans looked deadly up front they had 2 smalls ladds up front for kiernans who were deadly..1 off the forwads was a ladd called scratch i think who got 2 fine goals.And a ladd called GOOCH as well who was deadly who scored most off kiernans points..If these 2 stay on form there be nothing stopping kiernans winning the championship..Good luck 2 all the teams..

Both games to be close. If St. Kiernans and NLS play to their best I think they will both go through. 2 very close games, no more than a 3 point winning margin in any of the games. should be a good day for football in ruslip!

How was the Matches at the weekend? heard the NLS and Heston game was a draw! did any team look like pulling away and winning the game?
Heard St Kiernans won by 7-8 points, was this a fair result or is the 7-8 points not a fair representation of how the game went?

the heston nls game was close, heston wasted alot of chances and nls took theirs. with a minute to go heston were 2 points up and conceded a goal then went down and scored a pint to level.
the kiernans score flatterd them abit, they deserved their win but they got a couple of easy goals. they looked weak at the back only moindearg dont have the forwards to take advantage it. i didnt see any complaints about the final result

Wouldn't agree Leon with your verdict on NLS v Heston. NLS kicked 6 wides in a row at the start of the second half and in total must of kicked twice as many wides as Heston. But fair play to both teams, especially Heston who played some great football in the second half - it was one of the best games of football in Ruislip this summer. Best of luck to them both in the replay.

i beleive the shamrocks hit 10 wides in a short period before half time and the 10 or 15 mins of the second half. Heston scored 5 to Shamrocks 1 in the period after, so its definitely not a case of heston not taking their chances and the shamrocks taking theirs.

Agree with Laz, NLS had Heston on the ropes for the first 10/15 mins of the second half, but just couldnt finish them off, Heston done very well to turn the game and played some great running football and looked to have the game won. A thrilling last couple of minutes when again Heston looked to be out after the shamrocks goal but got a point with the last kick of the game. All in all a draw was a fair result.

The second game had alot to live up to and ever, the goals killed Moindreag ad kiernans deserved the win. Kiernans still hot favorites in the final.
