Replying To sparkie:  "I believe he is struggling with a long term injury that is being managed but wouldnt stand the test of inter county football which is a massive shame. Seen him a few times last year was excellent, and seems he was no where near 100%
I know he didnt start all league games and came off in any game that AG were well ahead in after 40/45 mins last year so wondered was that the case. Only played semi and final the year before for AG"
I'd have to beg to differ on this one as he featured in midfield last night in the sigerson for Sligo & played the full game. Also he finished all of Allen Gaels games last year bare one so I think there's more to it than injury worry's. Possibly Allen Gaels telling there players not to play as 2 others walked off the panel also. Same as Leitrim Gaels rumour has it there players were told not to go near it either any young lads that are left there are mostly on scholarships so they have to be there . We are in a dark place with Leitrim football

Fantastic display by Colaiste Mhuire in Pollard. Lead by six at half time and that could easily have been 10-11, Offaly schools came back strong in last quarter with a goal and narrowed gap to 4 but CM deservedly won, 1-16 to 1-12, some achievement to reach Leinster A semi final in both codes, very rare to do that, at least 5-6 players starting on both teams. Good Counsel might have in the past, three wins in this championship. They're also missing some key players through injury.

Replying To Iakecounty90:  "You can laugh but anyone can see 7 or 8 Caulry players would easily improve the standard we had on display in Lomans last night"
Sure why stop at 7 o 8. They are the County Champions after all.
......ohh wait! No, they are not.

Replying To PressureKick:  "Is the Mayo lad above trolling or what? Walsh not a starter or not pacy coming off the bench? He was the best player in Dublin championship this year by a country mile and despite probably losing a step is still faster than the vast majority of forwards. He also had numerous top class displays last season to go with other quieter ones

Defenders not being worried about comer coming on (if fit) is equally laughable. He caused havoc v Meath having barely played a minute all year. Naming Connelly as a starter also

Galway's squad is somewhere in the top 3-5 bracket. It's probably not good enough to win them an all Ireland but a decent run at it and a Connacht 5 in a row is a realistic aim"
I spelt out where Galway were short on being all Ireland contenders.
You insist that Comer and Walsh are still forces, but in a team thats 3-5 best in the country.

So you basically agree, Galway days as serious contenders relying on Comer and Walsh are over.

Replying To Weaternpro:  "I see Declan Bonner has named his first Fermanagh team ahead of the McKenna Cup Vs Cavan tonight and notice Garvan Jones club listed as Derrygonnelly they move must have only last a year"
He is listed as Leitrim Gaels elsewhere. Just a misprint I would say

Replying To lakecounty90:  "Connaughton top class goalie.
I agree need Ray Connellan back asap with Lynam in midfield
But most glaring mistake is giving Conor McCormack a chance"
Sure maybe just get the whole Caulry team to represent Westmeath?

How did Fr. Ted get in with fixing the dent on the bonnet?!

We've been treated to great intercounty and club games since the end of last January. It has been fantastic! The greatest game in the world! Rugby and soccer are besieged by problems.

There seems to be very little free Iran supporters knocking about the place with the current uprising of ordinary people taking to the streets there to demand change.

This is the one country in the world perhaps where a regime change would stabalise many other flare ups in the region.

Is it not cool to say Free Iran or is it the usual suspects only care about one small area of that region.

Super win, an array of talent on that panel. I can see why they opted to enter the competition by themselves as opposed to joining Westmeath schools. Promising for our county minors and u20s for the year ahead.

Great result, and performance. Well done to your lads!
Good Counsel won the Brother Bosco in 1995, 1996, 1999 and 2015.
They won the Corn ui Dhuill in 1995, 1997, 2009 and 2022. So they did the double in 95.
St Peters won the Brother Bosco in 1992 and 2017, but they havent won the Corn ui Dhuill since the 1980s, though they did reach the final in 1993, 2003, 2004, and 2015.
St Mary's Enniscorthy have reached the final of the Corn ui Dhuill too, but not lately.
Are St Finians Mullingar still in existence?

Just said id start the discussion on clubber lads what a fantastic service they are. I've watched several games already this year and it only costs 150 for the year which is good in my opinion given the amount of matches they show. My question is why dont the GAA let them show league and championship games which are not been shown on tv? The arguement of less people will attend games is just not true in my opinion

All this nonsense with Trump pushing the world closer and closer to widespread war every day all to avoid getting flack for not releasing the Epstein files, what must be in those files?
