Mainly Minor championship.

Michael Breachnachs and Oranmore the two strongest in the West with wins today.
Corofin beat Caherlistrane this morning in a crazy high scoring game, Corofin finish top with 100% record.
Dunmore beat Annaghdown and Monivea beat Tuam stars in a bottom of table clash

Its complicated.The top two in each area play west board and north board final and winners go into county S/F.
3rd in one group vs 4th in other group and winners of this play losers of finals and winners of that game go into county S/F as well.
Really nothing between top 3 teams in West board and probably same in north board.

Not strange at all. That group drew the Féile All-Ireland final two years ago, and they had 6 on the Galway minor panel this year. They would have been favourites at the start of the championship. Should be a cracker between them and Oranmore in the West final. They drew in the group match.
It's mainly this age group that is an exception. They're in lower divisions at most other ages.

With that group definitely. A lot of quality footballers in that minor team. They haven't been too competitive at other age groups this year.
One club doing excellent work across the board is Killannin. They've been competing in A in a number of age groups, mainly against larger clubs. Won a county U19 a few years ago, beating Corofin in the final. Got to the West Board A final the following final having lost a lot of the better players from the previous year.
A small club might get one generational group, but to be competing consistently at the higher levels across a range of age groups is a sign of doing a lot right.
They gave a serious hammering to Maigh Cuilinn in Minor A this year.
