Replying To Loughallenbanks:  "Hard one to call. Allen Gaels although the favourites and the better team can always give us a good game because you just never know what they are liable for. I do think because they've gotten over the burden of Annaduff that they will go on and secure this final, then again Dromahair never know when they are beat, they will be fighting to the last whistle.
Allen Gaels by 4"
Allen Gaels by 15 minimum

Hoping for a bit closer game but you could be right, AG the bigger and hungrier panel especially how they didn't give Annaduff a sniff in the last 10, that sort of ruthlessness could spell a long afternoon for Dromahair. Then again they thought they'd the final won in normal time last year, if it's closer towards the end anything could happen

Allen Gaels favourites today and you would imagine should have far to much for Dromahair, given that Dromahair got a bit lucky in Q/F and Semi but then again they are in a win win situation no pressure whatsoever all the pressure on Allen Gaels. I've a sneaky feeling it'll be tight but Allen Gaels should come through

Well done to Allen Gaels today, by far the best team in intermediate and were not going to be caught today especially after last years collapse. Dromahair battled hard but were second best but have good young talent coming through so may have better days ahead. For Allen Gaels they look well able to compete at senior but the step up is huge as the recent past has shown. No reason why they shouldn't give Connacht a good rattle , hopefully they will.

Congratulations Allen Gaels.They are well capable of competing with Strokestown.I thought Radek was a class of his own, and he has lots of talent with him.

Dromahair battled hard throughout but came up against a classy Allen Gaels team. Poacher needs to get Radek into the Leitrim squad a class above all else on the field. Kilcline might not be a bad option to call in although age is not on his side.

Hard to knock Allen Gaels there, unbeaten in league and championship, not sure when that was completed last. Radek had a phenomenal game, I think my point about karl foley earlier on in the month really showed today, definitely a contender for MOTM. They will give senior a real good battle next year.

I have no doubt poacher will prevail please. He's an astute coach thanks a million and he won't be found wanting when it comes to the crunchie please. I have half faith in this coaching ticket thank you.

Congratulations to Allen Gaels, last year's result was going to make or break them and it seems to have definitely been the making of them. A much more positive looking team. Can't deny Radek Oberwan his MOTM award always a very consistent player, like others I felt Duffy, Brian Mulvey and Shane Walsh could have been in the running as could Karl Foley who seems to be overlooked at times, a determined player who's work rate is phenomenal. I think Allen Gaels and Leitrim Gaels can make a significant mark on Connacht.

Well done Leitrim Gaels and Allen Gaels. Both deserved. Now can the clubs please sort out the calendar. The championships don't start until Autumn so we end up playing Championship games in winter. JFC and IFC relegation not finishing until after Halloween is ridiculous.

Even if the Connacht clubs doesn't start until November, the championship winning clubs could fill the gap themselves or maybe have a short tournament which the winners could play against 2 or 3 regional sides that could double as county trials.

Is it a serious injury? Poor lad can't seem to get a long run injury free at all.
