Replying To The_analyser:  "Going well for favourites Brigids, well on top in midfield and chances created and leading by 6 points at half time. Pearses with the wind advantage 2nd half will look to eat into that lead and ask plenty of Brigids will need to improve their kick outs to do so."
Pearses really blew that game. One point up while playing with a very strong wind and the time nearly up, they had two or three chances by various players to tap the ball over the bar from 14-21 yards but went for the goal instead.
Brian Stack proved his leadership once again and was man of the match for me.
Some good two point scores taken by both both teams. I would say that it is 50 - 50 for the reply and Pearses certainly won't be 3-1 next time. They won't be 50-1 the club All Ireland either, but have they missed their chance?

Today proved the odds was wrong showing there is nothing between Pearses Brigids. One chap on here had himself convinced Brigids would win by 8 points.

Can make a case Pearses blew it but Brigids was 6 ahead and Pearses fought their way back into the game. My money would be on Pearses in extra time if you had it today so Brigids will be relieved to fight another day.

Must be truth in the rumours so.

Yes, Pearses will run their missed chances. They definitely had the opportunity to kick on but they lacked a bit of a killer instinct to kill the game off in the second half. Also showed how good a team Brigids are when they went down to 14 for 10 mins at the start of the second yet they still managed 1-2 I think. Was a great game for the neutral and I was glad that I'll get another day out for the replay. Was very impressed with Caelim Keogh and Canning for Pearses. Brigids had men that stood up in different parts of the game but hard to pinpoint someone who was excellent over the 60 mins. Well done to both teams and hopefully the replay is equally as exciting on Saturday
