Hard luck on our camogie team losing to Cork by two points in AI final. We need to keep trying.. Mayo proved that with good organisation and investment in youth anything is possible. Surely, an inspiration for all Connaught teams. AnCrúiscínLán (Galway) - Posts: 132 - 09/08/2026 19:28:43 2689214 Link

Replying To Belclare98: "Good win for Corofin minors this morning in club championship over a very weak and poorly set up Tuam team that were struggling for numbers id say.. Our lads will need to step up for next game and definitely improve on their shooting, despite scoring 3 10 today they kicked probably 15 wides.. Dunmore had another good win over M Abbey.. and Caherlistrane are 4 from 4 with a good win over Annaghdown." Who's favorites for minor this year Galwaysam277 (Galway) - Posts: 3 - 09/08/2026 20:11:18 2689219 Link

Tuam have nothing coming underage when was last time they won a minor title Galwaysam277 (Galway) - Posts: 3 - 09/08/2026 20:14:47 2689220 Link
Replying To Galwaysam277: "Who's favorites for minor this year" Corofin strongest in the north board, Michael Breathnachs favorites for west and county. Tuam are poor for A, have a good few of u16s in starting 15, Caherlistrane are strong with quality throughout. Oranmore and Claregalway will also have a say overall with a good age profile. Dunmore squad is too thin and don't have enough quality, seem to be relying on some u15s which is not ideal playing A level. Monivea-Abbey and Annaghdown look more B grade tbh.

Replying To Galwaysam277: "Tuam have nothing coming underage when was last time they won a minor title" In fairness they won minor maybe three years ago, mc Glinchey was captain.. they are in county u 15 final this year , but i was just shocked how poor they were today, agree that's its swings and roundabouts at underage , they won the league a few weeks ago beating admittedly a few under strenght teams but they have rapidly gone down hill since.. Caherlistrane are flying as well as Corofin in North. M Breathnach will be favourites agreed. Belclare98 (Galway) - Posts: 47 - 09/08/2026 22:12:15 2689233 Link

Replying To yew_tree: "Got knocked out last year with a last second kick v Donegal. I wouldn't say Mayo came from "nowhere" If it's nowhere than a lot of teams are nowhere! Like a lot of things it's very as bad as it seems or as good on the other end. Mayo will need to evolve again next year and I think management know that." Mayo were huge odds before a ball was kicked and then were hammered by Roscommon, nobody even the staunchest Mayo fans predicted what was too happen, sensational work by Andy Moran. Got a bit of luck with the draw but who could say they didn't deserve it after all those years and certainly nothing lucky about the final, scoreline flatters Kerry.

I agree with that in saying that I think the cards falls kindly for ye in a year where a lot Of the big guns came a cropper early on -a tr final v cork and a semi final v Louth gave ye huge momentum and one think no mayo team Lacked Over the years is belief that coupled with hunger and hurt made ye an unstoppable force in the final Congrats and well done not Sure yell back it up next year but having got Over the line wouldn't be one bit surprised to See ye win a couple Over The next few years ! rossy15 (Roscommon) - Posts: 703 - 10/08/2026 18:49:25 2689356 Link
