Fair enough buto the team that they played was a lot the same as the team brigids played against pearses. . Out of interest who do you think are the strongest teams this year?

Fair enough who have brigids to bring back in though? True that boyle were missing a few but by all reports game was level at half time when gaels should have been 8 or 9 up.. they sco red 1 23 and had a fair few wides aswel according to report5

Was at ross gaels and boyle last night in a game which finished in near darkness. Fortunately the game was so one sided there was no flash points. Gaels were solid and boyle were awful. Even allowing for their missing players boyle appear to be heading back to the B section as they have bridgids first up after the break. Gaels have room for huge improvement which if they find could make them serious contenders but we all know how easily they blow up. No james McDermott or mark Healy last night. David O Gara went off injured and still won easily. Gaels could have bet St. Faithleachs last week by 15 points but fell asleep at start of 2nd half and let Faithleachs back into it.

Strokestown will have a tougher test this weekend than last week and I'm still not convinced by them. Should beat Kilmore but will have tougher tests ahead. Clann should account for Croans who shot themselves in foot last week v Elphin through missed goal chances and indiscipline. Anything other than a bridgids win v Faithleachs would be a shock. Brids were impressive v a poor pearses team last weekend. Faithleachs probably without the injured Brian Murtagh this week were very average last weekend and should have been hammered. Elphin surprised me last week beating Croans but got help from them should make it two wins from two but Elphin normally throw in one bad result somewhere along the line.

Pearses v western Gaels is probably senior game of weekend. If pearses lose they face Faithleachs in the third game with probably both teams on zero and it would make it a drop battle. W Gaels impressive but only now is the result put into context as to how bad Boyle are.
One concern is the quality of senior club football in the games have seen so far including last nights game is the standard is awful. I haven't seen one bit of intensity which is worrying for our inter county players and looking at some of them they are not standing out. Yes a few have hit the headlines but more to do with the opposition markers than their own skill. Game of the weekend could be oran v Feurty. Both teams going well. Tulsk v Glaveys could also be tasty. Tulsk need a win and were unlucky last week v Feurty.

Roscommon gaels had gud win against a poor Boyle team last ngt,Gaels were missing several players but the young players stood up and played well.4-28 in two games shows gaels can score,if gaels stay injury free and get all players fit who knows how far they will go.Boyle are definitely weakest team in group A!!

Pearses on the back foot after last night. . Anyone at the clann game? Was it very one sided or just the goals the difference? Conor daly going off injured after 5 minutes huge blow to pearses

No real surprises in this weeks fixtures. Lost of goals in many games. Some questionable refereeing. All in a weekends games

Linesman bring foul on Murtagh to ref attention and a black card not given
Last minute ref appeared to indicate a penalty and then blow final whistle

Faithleachs deserved at least a draw out of that game today. Brigids form this year has been indifferent but 2 championship wins under their belts now so they will hardly care about that.

Western Gaels the form team in league and championship however can they retain this form into August,September?

Strokestown with two big wins and scoring well but have probably played the two weakest sides in section B. Bad news for them and Roscommon is Tom Corcoran broke his collar bone.

Clann up and running with a goalfest against Croans. Bad news for them and Roscommon is Ultan Harney is doubtful to play anymore football this summer with a back injury.

Looks like between western gaels ros gaels and brigids for the automatic semi places and between clann strokestown and Elphin to come out of group 2..
