Nice interview with Gary Sice after the game on Sunday. After everything he's been through recently to still have that hunger and love of the game. Fair play to him and congrats to Corofin again. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11333 - 07/11/2023 20:03:26 2512008 Link 2 |

Brendan's pushing hard for admission to the Roscommon intermediate championship yet again. We might see Rory Cunningham in blue and yellow yet. PierreBezuhov (UK) - Posts: 226 - 07/11/2023 21:37:12 2512015 Link 2 |

It will be the same as this year's intermediate football championship with 2nd and 3rd in each group going into preliminary quarter finals.. with only one going down then it could revert to the fourth teams in each group playing a relegation semi final and two loosers playing a relegation final. That was the way with Senior A and Intermediate hurling championships who also had four groups of four..Ballindereen finished third in their intermediate group but went on to win the Competition.

Corofin have some amount of talented footballers. To be able to win Frank Fox without Daithi Burke, Jason Leonard, Ronan Steede, Dylan Canney, Ian Burke (I probably missed a few), Michael & Martin Farragher and Michael Lundy not starting along with a number of their intermediate players who would be playing senior with most clubs. Id say their second team would get to a semi-final. Their parish is twice the size of most's I suppose. hopballref (Galway) - Posts: 396 - 08/11/2023 07:41:50 2512022 Link 0 |

Players from poor club teams can still play county if good enough. Hence the reason behind the divisional teams in Kerry. Fossa were junior.

Your name is certainly accurate. Because a poster questioned his link to Corofin above, thinking the link may be his teaching connections in St Enda's. I was merely suggesting he may live in the Corofin parish, or very close to it if not. Life is too short to be so bitter. Does Frank Fox sitting in Canavans not give you some sense of positivity? Lighten up. GalwaysFinest (Galway) - Posts: 190 - 08/11/2023 08:57:40 2512028 Link 0 |

Has a team sufferred back to back releagations before in Galway like Carraroe from senior to junior in 2 years? A sign of the times back west I am afraid and for rural clubs also Killerein gone down who were winning co championships not that long ago. From recent memory I cant remember a team sufferring back to back relegations. I say Michaels are sickened but might be a blessing and get their houise in order. Their juniors won a co championship & yet they got relegated with a strong pick & underage teams. You think they would have snapped Alan Glynn up to rescue them when his commitments were over with Annaghdown. A lot of regrets for them.

Alan Glynn advised on set up to play Mountbellew. They scored 1-1 in that game and apparently the club relieved him of his duties subsequently.

Other rural clubs to follow cararoe and kilkerrin. Rugby is definitely impacting but more so is soccer but mostly emigration. As mentioned also is the fall in the appeal of the game for young lads. padthepostman (Galway) - Posts: 150 - 08/11/2023 12:51:01 2512078 Link 0 |

Imagine thinking it is ok to anonymously ask where someone lives on the internet?

Awaiting a ruling from anotheralias here, as to whether this one 'crosses the line' or not. Has to be close!!

Senior football is completely different to underage at this stage and it's why people question the appointment of PJ to be fair. If you look at the last number of underage managers, PJ, O'Flatharta, Glynn, Stephen Joyce, Tommy Joyce, Gerry Fahy, Mulholland, John Donnellan. I can't remember any of them having much impact at club level. smallfrank (Galway) - Posts: 404 - 08/11/2023 15:11:45 2512122 Link 1 |

It happened to Barna in the late 80s and that is the only other case I am aware of. Going the other way, Mervue went from junior B to senior in 3 years in the late 80s and I think they also got to a league final in their first year in senior. They were back in junior within a few years and subsequently amalgamated with Renmore to form the St. James club. Fr. Griffins won 3 senior county championships (and 2 Connacht titles) in the 70s but by the early 80s, they were playing junior and have been there ever since.

Ah, now. I don't think he was looking for the eircode - more so club area.

What happened to Fr Griffins? How did they fall so drastically? I know there is an older population (or renters) living in the Claddagh. Looking at their catchment area (including Eire Og), they have a very high population density within. They should be an intermediate club at the very least.

We should let them off - would hope the county board would not stand in their way. Best of luck to them.
