Replying To MoroonMan: "What is the price difference in streaming the two games on the same day as opposed to separate days? Didn't think of that- very sneaky if true" It's 15 eur for each match or they had a weekend package of the 2 senior semi finals, 2 intermediate semis and theJunior A final for 55 eur.
I dont know if it is sneaky but it is certainly clever from their pov in my opinion. There's plenty of exiled Galway hurling fans for whom the livestream is either the only or the cheapest option if they want to watch the matches so I reckon there is a strong demand for it and it is very much revenue generating for the county board. If the semi finals were a double header, the most they'd get away with charging is 20 eur I suspect, both at the turnstiles or on the livestream, or else there would be loud complaints from fans. So one way or the other they are gaining more income by not having them as a double header. Not saying that it is right but it does make sense from a revenue generating perspective.

Replying To Bigjoe1: "Thought both Turin and Plunketts were full value for their wins. No taking from Turin but I think they may struggle at senior B. Did Pollard underestimate Plunketts??? and think they just had to turn up, Plunketts ran them ragged and seemed to get stronger as the game went on." Turin's first ever intermediate title and their first championship victory in 41 years. Think what it means to the Heffernans, Scally's, Augheys and others after all their barren years. Ray and Alan Aughey have played adult hurling for almost 60 years between them, John Gorman played for years and then became manager, whether they will struggle at senior B or not is a discussion for months down the line, they deserve to enjoy their fantastic win.

Replying To katser: "Are Skbellew really that good I wonder.... Kilconeiron, Mullagh and Skellow all qualified from the same group with Skellow getting late goals to pip both Kilconeiron and Mullagh by 1pt in the group games where Kilconeiron and Mullagh were very much wasteful and complacent.
Kilconeiron and Mullagh are different animals now and vastly improved since the start of Knockout phase?
I'd expect Kilconeiron to beat Meelick-Eyrecourt and Mullagh to set the record straight with bells on v Skehana Mountbellew Moylogh....in fact I think Skellow could get a terrible clattering! Traditionalists v Fairytale" Intermediate Semi Finals Results
Mullagh 2-26 Skehana Mountbellew Moylogh 1-14
Kilconeiron 3-18 Meelick-Eyrecourt 1-19 A.E.T

I didn't make Kenny park yesterday but it sounded like a great occasion! How big was the crowd?

Stand full but loosely full say 1,500 + couple hundred outside stand behind wire on that side, dressing room end not more than 1,000, Slfo side terrace 70% full say 3,000.
Total estimate 5,000+_ 10%

Replying To katser: "To paraphrase a former Garda Commissioner.."I find it absolutely disgusting " that the Co. Senior Semi Finals are not a double header in Kenny Park on Sunday and that the Reeves Cup and Junior A Finals are not a double header on Saturday.
My heart goes out to poor Tommy Larkins and they are such a obliging honest hard working Club, God bless them.
"Disgusting "" Everything people disagee with is "disgusting " these days. Its one of those over used words, like where everyone on earth describes their ex as a "narcissist."

Replying To The_analyser: "Result after 60 minutes St Brigids 0-18 Padraig Pearses 1-15. A final that suits the quality of our club championships. Two pointer from Conor Hand gave Brigids the lead but Colleran two pointer with the last attack brings the game in extra time." Tom Butler???

Replying To leitrimlad15: "Dromahair at no good unless defending a lead. Very defensive and mundane" Given they threw away huge leads in both the quarter and semi final, even the veracity of that statement is in question. Annaduff further down the road with some better youth. Dromahair have last years U20 B and this year U17 B winners to build on. Poor standard of a game overall. Big gap between top end of IFC and Senior

A great county final. Brigids still the kingpins but Pearses will have regrets. The €25 charge and no OAP price left a very sour taste in my mouth. Extremely bad form. I go to county finals in other counties and none treat their hard pressed GAA members in this way. Brigids are great champions and will represent us well but I stand by the comment a made some weeks ago that we have the least competitive club championship of the ones I go to with Brigids and Pearses a good bit ahead of the chasing pack. All other counties I go to have at least four clubs with a realistic chance of winning. Hopefully that changes and so does the county board price committees

I would agree that Brigids, Pearses and Boyle are a cut above everyone else. But if they Gaels get their house in order and continue to bring those young lads through they should be aiming to break into that top 3.
