Went down to the wire again, and extra-time go with it. Fair play to Kilconieron who responded brilliantly to conceding the goal.
Tough on Dolphin who missed the free to level it with the last puck. He'd levelled the first game and again in normal time today.

Another titantic physical match between Mullagh and Kilconerion that went all the way to the last puck of a ball!
Mullagh got 3 chances to win the Cup and still couldn't finish the game
Drawn game...10pts up 5mins to go
Replay......3pts up 5mins to go
Extra time....3pts up 5mins left.
They were in control on all 3 occasions with destiny in their own hands and let it slip by giving away unnecessary frees.
As the lads on GBFM said.....Mullagh should be further ahead and its astonishing how they haven't won!!

10pts up with 5 mins to go?! How they manage to draw from there?

Kilconieron hit them for 2-05 without reply. It was actually Mullagh who needed a free with the last puck to level it in the end.
The second game was a tighter affair. Mullagh got what seemed to be a crucial goal in extra time to go 4 ahead, but Kilconieron got the next 5 points and edged it in the end.

Replying To ColmFlaherty:  "In terms of new players that could get a call up in senior there's Ronan Murphy and Ryan Howley are 2 who come to mind with possibly Ian McGlynn and Conor Dolphin from Intermediate"
Time for management to start looking outside their own clubs
5 x Clarinbridge
5 x Turloughmore
1 x Meelick Eyrecourt
1 x Padraig Peares
That's a total of 12 players directly related to the management team, plenty more players out there to be looking at

Aaah we're back. easy know the winter is in when this starts up. why don't you tell us which of those players shouldn't be on the panel?

Of the Bridge players, I presume you're not talking about Ryan, Lee or Niland. Evan Niland saw a lot more action under previous managements and TJ Brennan has been in since Shane O'Neills time so no bias there.

Trayers and Daithi are mainstays, Dan Loftus again one of the best corner backs in the club championship this year. Sean Linnane has been around for donkeys years and imo has probably seen his best days with Galway pass, but 50/50 call if he's worth a spot. Cillian Whelan is 22 and I'd have him on the panel, you might disagree but hardly egregious.

Meelick eyrecourt is Fleming, well worth a place and close to being a starter.

Don't think there was any Pearases player on the panel last year. Jonah Donnelan called in maybe? What's the issue there?
