Replying To BigBàsMan: "Come on the town !!!!" Where did the chant "come on the town" originate? I heard a story behind it previously so interested to know if yours is similar. I find it all a bit bizarre as plenty of other towns around the County! Not to mention the city clubs MoroonMan (Galway) - Posts: 90 - 30/10/2026 22:09:22 2699044 Link
Congratulations on Galway's three hurling All-star awards. Well deserved! I have a question, though. Galway was ever only going to get one award in the full-back line. Limerick couldn't even get two, and leaving out Sean Finn, to me, is questionable. However, when it came to the Galway selection, did they get the right man? IMHO, Cilian Travers should have been that man, and not Darren Morrissey. Admittedly, I saw no games live in 2026. But I watched every game on GAAGo, and to me, Travers was outstanding all year. Just my opinion, though. foreveryoung (USA) - Posts: 2639 - 30/10/2026 23:22:49 2699053 Link

It's progressed to minimum quarter final stage for the last 23 years. It's earned it's title "the town!" Now to focus on the hurling. Big occasion tomorrow. How will both teams handle the day. Obviously Loughrea have more experience but what Loughrea team will show up? I give Tommies a right good chance of they can't stay within 3-5 points of Loughrea. If they're close coming down the home straight they could pip Loughrea. However, if Loughrea start well and use the full forward line effectively and overwhelm Tommies I think they could see it through. Weather is great so should be a good game. Tommies will need more than Jason Flynn to stand up and be counted. I'm sure Loughrea will man mark him as they did with Ciaran leen, tom Monaghan and Darragh nearly successfully. Loughrea will need to up it 100% to beat Tommies. I agree that trayers should've got the all star ahead of Morrissey. BigBàsMan (Galway) - Posts: 304 - 31/10/2026 12:36:29 2699077 Link
