Replying To LottoPlus: "Honestly no Annaghdown man and they were a referee decision away from a county Final. Also Sweeney should be on it and Lavelle had a great year. 1. Ruairi Lavelle, Salthill 2.

Replying To Belclare: "Hard to argue with a lot there.. The goalkeeper situation for Galway is crucial as every goalkeeper made big errors in Club championship and as seen last year its an area of most concern. Great to hear Ian Burke will be back in January for Galway.." I really hope ur telling the truth and not just trying to get us all going! Class act but as I said before he needs to be all in. The last year he played for us he looked miles off the pace. Ian Burke at full tilt is a joy to behold. Mayonman (Galway) - Posts: 1826 - 17/11/2022 15:49:24 2447946 Link
Replying To minor77: "How can you pick kilcummins midfield did u see any of annaghdowns games they were cleaned out at midfield comer or meehan maybe" He must have maroon and white tinted glasses. Cleaned out in midfield in every game I seen. You'd feel sorry for the defence behind that midfield, not much you can do against teams like Mountbellew and Salthill if you've an ocean of space in front of you.

More often than not, bringing back players who 'had enough of it', to bolster squads looking for that bit extra to get over the line, doesn't end well. Can only think of Brian Corcoran, with Cork around 2003-2005, as a very successful 'prodigal son'. Pope_Benedict (Galway) - Posts: 3410 - 18/11/2022 10:48:30 2448015 Link

Just think if you're talking about possible Annaghdown players he deserves a mention. ozbound (Galway) - Posts: 71 - 18/11/2022 10:51:08 2448016 Link

Replying To Throughthemidfieldhewasstormin: "Few of the Dublin lads over the last decade too and left for a year here and there." Of course. Jimmy Keaveney, Ja fallon, Kevin Walsh . The list goes on. Form is temporary, class is permanent. Ian Burke falls into the second category....class. Welcome back Ian. Super excited about his addition. anotheralias (Galway) - Posts: 840 - 18/11/2022 11:30:41 2448023 Link

Replying To ozbound: "Agreed! Just think if you're talking about possible Annaghdown players he deserves a mention." I thought there was a couple of the younger annaghdown lads very good this year.

Well done Clifden. Hopefully a great weekend is in store for Galway football galwayfball (Galway) - Posts: 1678 - 19/11/2022 15:11:08 2448161 Link
Replying To smallfrank: "There was a Portuguese fella in a different code too. He came back, not sure how it worked out." That's right. Pepe went back to Porto. He's done very well for them, even at this late stage of his career. A good move for all parties. WanPintWin (Galway) - Posts: 2037 - 19/11/2022 16:16:30 2448166 Link
Congratulations to Dunmore. I hope ye win Connacht and go all the way. Once a game of football broke out in the second half ye played some lovely football and were miles the better team. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7336 - 19/11/2022 16:29:07 2448169 Link
Clifden and Dunmore join Moycullen in knocking out the Mayo champions. All three will be hard stopped from winning 3 Connacht titles. Yondu (UK) - Posts: 845 - 19/11/2022 16:36:27 2448174 Link
Thought Dunmore looked in trouble there for a long time until about half way through the 2nd half. Suddenly they rattled off 5 or 6 points on the spin and never looked back. Marooned (Galway) - Posts: 2208 - 19/11/2022 18:32:15 2448184 Link
That was a right slugfest in Tuam this afternoon. 7 each on 60 minutes without stating the obvious defences was on top and both had a focus on possession football in slippy underfoot conditions. Whichever team got a goal was always going to be key and Moycullen got a little lucky to win a free just before the goal which was then taken quickly. I think it's a home game against Tourlestrane now in the final. Yondu (UK) - Posts: 845 - 20/11/2022 21:27:35 2448252 Link

I think it was 11 wides to 2 at full-time. Fair play to Strokestown for pegging back the couple of points late on to take it to extra-time. The goal was key for sure. The short kickout is risky when handling conditions are tough and the pitch is soft. Westport weren't at the races at all last week, so that game will do Moycullen more good.
