Replying To anotheralias: "Many Congrats to St brigids and best of luck in AI series. Brigids were well deserving winners. In terms of corofin we all need to take perspective before we slate them. They were would beaters in some peoples opinion after ballina game and half their team should be starting for galway, now some people are saying that they have no inter county players. The real truth is half way between these statements. Corofin won a poor enough ( although evenly balanced) Galway championship and, correspondingly, many people ( including Joe brolly) had an inflated opinion on their potential. In terms of county players , Dylan mchugh and Liam Silke are still critical players. Kieran molloy and bernie power definitely in top 24. Patrick Egan, Gavin Burke should also get game time in league with a view to assessing ability to progress to next level. Jack McCabe may also be one for the future but the jury is out as to how well his brilliant skills will translate to Senior IC" Might be in the minority on this one but I can't see Corofin being Connacht winners anytime soon. Sice, Farragher, Lundy, Steede will all be gone. Lot of miles on the clock for Wall, Cunningham, Daithi, Silke, Leonard etc. Ian Burke not likely to be available in near future and they didn't really trust the young lads yesterday with Egan taken off and Gill only a late sub. I think Sean Kelly not playing the county final was the deciding factor and Moycullen will be comfortable favourites next year. Salthill will be coming with new management, Mountbellew won't go away and Claregalway will get it together. I think time will prove it is still a major rebuild in Corofin and as the odds suggested in this years county final, it was a bit of a fluke to catch Moycullen off guard.

Replying To TobeaRossie: "Absolutely no soft frees were given to Brigids, they were head and shoulders the better team. He reffed the game very well I thought, was very tough on steps but consistent for both teams." I agree St Brigids were the better team on the day. No complaints or excuses from me. Best of luck going forward.

Management didn't seem to trust the older guard yesterday either it seems. Ian Burke, Jason Leonard and Dylan Canney were all big losses but why weren't the likes of Eddie Steede and Martin Farragher introduced as both are big game players who have seen it all and won it all before?

You could argue that the Joe Brolly PR wing is the only dept. really operating on overdrive in the entire club. At least no one on here will be wondering where Kevin Johnson lives, after that display yesterday.

Hasn't Ian Burke as many miles on the clock as most of that second lishhht? Gas that when fellas are unavailable, no one will question their milometer readings at all, they're so focused on the 'unavailability' problem.

Replying To veterngaa: "Did you watch the game?" Yes I did and I thought most of the frees awarded to Brigid's were dubious at best. I saw perfectly good tackles by Corofin players given as fouls - some of those Brigid's players were barely touched, fell over and hey presto they get a "free". It will be interesting going forward if that is the case with another ref.

Replying To Claretandblue: "Matt Connor has the Celtic medal that counts and stayed loyal to Walsh Island, hopefully Glen or Brigid's put manners on the biggest club in the country and their recruitment policy" That's some chip you have on your shoulder there. I wonder if you were so annoyed when Parnell's had lads from Mayo and Laois joining them? Or when Kildare were recruiting outsiders in the late 90s?
If you knew anything about Galway football you'd know that Shane Walsh owes his home club nothing.

Corofin can be happy with their season, still think the balance of the team isn't where they want it to be, not enough forwards in the team.
Jack McCabe managed to hit 2 brilliant scores from play, is he U20 next year?

Eddie Steede is 58
