Replying To Claretandblue: "Shandonagh's performances just vary too much. Last year they were annihilated by Tubberclair in group stage and while it wasn't a knockout game it didn't look good for their prospects. This year they scraped over Multy when they should easily be beating Multy, they also lost to Malachy's before then hammering Milltownpass and Ballinagore. Today was mystifying as they never got to the pitch of the game. The breeze was worth 5-6 points and yet they trailed by 6 midway through first half. They performed far better in last year's final, size wise they had a light team and today's conditions were suited to strong physical players." Don't think my last message posted. I'd have to disagree about Shandonagh being light and that the conditions suited Milltown more . Milltown won because they had far more desire and determination. From the minute the ball was thrown in Milltown were far hungrier and wanted it way more. They were relentless for the full game and never took their foot off the pedal. Shandonagh looked very lacklustre and disinterested at times. Milltown were tackling and running off the ball in packs all the time whereas Shandonagh lads were looking for someone else to step up. I hope Milltown go on a run in Leinster now because they have a strong team. Playing Offaly finalists first in a game I would expect them to win as long as the celebrations aren't prolonged.
