Replying To Kinvara: "Kinvara have had a fairly disastrous compagn so far, almost hard to believe 18 wides the first day out wouldve been dissapointed not to win. Against ME, Josh O'Connor one of their best players gets injured in the warmup, they play very well and build a good lead, then ME come back into it, Kinvara get a penalty up one, take the point to go up 2 then concede a goal to lose it. From maybe playing well enough to top the group to fighting relegation. Not our year" A win over Portumna, which seems attainable, should put Kinvara in a preliminary qfinal. All to play for from there. Pope_Benedict (Galway) - Posts: 4907 - 26/08/2026 11:34:39 2691370 Link

No doubt it'll be played in kilbeacanty, would suit kinvara better. 2maroonjerseys (Galway) - Posts: 195 - 26/08/2026 14:37:47 2691408 Link
Intermediate is looking tasty.... TAD,A/F,SMM,Ballindeeren probably Group Winners QF K/L,M/E,Mullagh, Pearses runners up PQf Carnmore, Kinvara, Kilconeiron, Ballygar 3rd place PQF. I predict Quarter Finals Tynagh Abbey-Duniry, Ahasragh-Fohenagh, Ballindeeren, Mullagh, Kilnadeema-Leitrim, Meelick-Eyrecourt, Kilconeiron and Skehana Mountbellew katser (Galway) - Posts: 2937 - 26/08/2026 16:47:19 2691430 Link
Interesting Senior Weekend, OM v Cashel huge match, and so could Craughwell v Cappy. If Mellows got a draw or a win it's straight shootout. Cappy will relish it, backs to wall. Craughwell not going as good as last year, fortunate v Mellows, and flattered v Bridge. Don't be surprised if shock there. Cashel probably be slight favourites to pip OM. These two matches are most interesting of the weekend. WesternSeaBoard (Galway) - Posts: 153 - 04/09/2026 10:28:06 2692659 Link

Ballygar and Rahoon-Newcastle into the Knockout phase. katser (Galway) - Posts: 2937 - 05/09/2026 17:20:07 2692837 Link
Replying To katser: "If ever there is a statement "how the mighty have fallen " it could sum up Portumna! I know it's early days in the Club Championship BUT, it already looks like Portumna will be in a Relegation battle to avoid dropping from Intermediate to 3rd tier Junior with most likely Mullagh, Killimor and Rahoon-Newcastle. 4 group bottom teams I expected to be these 4 Clubs. Surely Rahoon-Newcastle or Killimor have to be certs for the drop? Mullagh would be best out of those 4 and will survive. Could the once mighty Portumna drop? They got hammered 12pts by the mighty men from Meelick-Eyrecourt, Ahasragh-Fohenagh will also hammer them and Kinvara should beat them too by a few points." Portumna recovered well in match 2 and 3. Should make the qfinals in 4 weeks time. Pope_Benedict (Galway) - Posts: 4907 - 06/09/2026 17:47:57 2692908 Link
That's a very dangerous draw for Loughrea in the prelims, having conceded 3-21 to Gort and now facing a confident Castlegar side. Darragh Neary and Greg Thomas will definitely cause them problems and they might also have Farragher back for the game. You'd expect St Thomas', Craughwell and Turlough to come through the other games. Portumna going well now in the premier intermediate with a big win today against Kinvara. Hard to know who is the favourite in that competition, possibly Kilnadeema Leitrim but it is wide open. galway19 (Galway) - Posts: 1113 - 06/09/2026 17:51:05 2692909 Link
Replying To Pope_Benedict: "Portumna recovered well in match 2 and 3. Should make the qfinals in 4 weeks time." I'm absolutely stunned how Portumna have managed to win v Ahasragh-Fohenagh and Kinvara. I was convinced they would be relegation fodder. Now they get a handy game v Rahoon-Newcastle!!! katser (Galway) - Posts: 2937 - 06/09/2026 19:51:57 2692925 Link
Replying To katser: "That's the Senior Relegation play off sorted 4 group bottom teams, Moycullen, Cappataggle, Killimordaly and Oranmore-Maree (Castlegar will beat Oranmore in last group game) I fancied Cappataggle to get Relegated from the start of the Championship this year even though Killimordaly or Moycullen aren't much better either. It will be close to pick the worst team from those 3!! Intermediate Relegation is Beagh, Killimor, Rahoon-Newcastle and most likely Portumna" Senior Relegation Semi Finals Oranmore-Maree v Cappataggle and Moycullen v Killimordaly. Definitely Cappataggle v Killimordaly Relegation Final. Got Intermediate Relegation wrong Beagh,Kinvara, Carnmore or Pearses (all proper Senior Clubs not long ago) one will humiliatinly be relegated to the embarrassing 3rd grade Premier Junior hurlball thing! katser (Galway) - Posts: 2937 - 06/09/2026 20:04:16 2692928 Link
