How is the replay in 2 weeks time? williesboy (Leitrim) - Posts: 568 - 11/10/2026 17:59:25 2696848 Link
Shades of 99 final for Fenagh today with a last minute goal denying them, only difference is this time they at least get another chance. Brilliantly taken goal by Tom Prior but they will be sickened they didn't hold out . Probably the least Ballinamore deserved, they were the better team for nearly 50 minutes but the goalkeeper going off seemed to change momentum of the game. Fenagh would have gladly took a replay with 10 minutes left but that draw will feel like a defeat tonight. JimmyNail (Leitrim) - Posts: 372 - 11/10/2026 18:11:42 2696852 Link
A decent final with a curiously quiet atmosphere until the closing stages. Fenagh might feel agrieved at some decisions that went against them but all in all an interesting game and they go at it again. eslincajunchicken (Leitrim) - Posts: 2 - 11/10/2026 18:22:14 2696856 Link

Ballinamore were more or less in complete control until keeper injury but replacing him with McKeon was a baffling tactical decision, seeing as he is not a goalkeeper as was proven fairly rapidly, his distribution wasn't particularly good and you're removing the option of bringing him on out the field to close out the game which he surely would have. Dean McGovern was extremely good in the first half around the middle, and would make ya think it would be nice to have him back in the county setup. But he was playing more or less as a fullback in the second half before Fenagh went three up which was also very odd. And Honeyman very profligate with the shooting. Fenagh should have closed it out and drove on well when they got a sniff in the second half, but also got two very soft goals to stay in it. Both team left it behind them in different ways, but can't wait for the replay. Serious attendance but as Eslin says slightly quiet atmosphere. Maybe the two teams are too civil to each other, which is understandable. MagnumPIG (Leitrim) - Posts: 152 - 11/10/2026 19:47:57 2696876 Link

Unusual that a club like SOH do not have a backup keeper and must put in one of their strongest outfield players in goals, even if he has a lot of milage on the clock now he could have helped them see it out gaelsboy (Leitrim) - Posts: 849 - 11/10/2026 20:08:17 2696878 Link

As a neutral observer, could I suggest it might be Ballinamore who might feel more aggrieved tommyc (Roscommon) - Posts: 76 - 11/10/2026 20:08:35 2696879 Link
I think the advantage now lies with Fenagh. Their younger cohort will now have survived the 'county final experience' and will go into the replay without the pressures today brought. A middling if not great final with a nice scatter of good performances, Riordan O'Rourke and Fergal McLoughlin for Fenagh and Dillon Beirne and Paul Moran showing up well for BSOH. The replay has the potential to be a terrific contest given today's result and prize at stake….. Boxtyeater (Leitrim) - Posts: 810 - 11/10/2026 20:11:43 2696880 Link
Replying To Thejampot: "Because that was decided before today's game in case it did happen" Sure no rush, Moycullen more than likely the Connacht opposition and the Leitrim reps should be thankful for the extra game and prep for that HUGE challenge ahead.

Fantastic final today as a spectacle, end to end stuff great game , hopefully the intermediate final will live up to this final , I've been watching our lads train from out in the car park for the past 2 weeks, if we can stick to what we've been at in training, Annaduff and dromahair will b the best game of the championship, Gethins v Cox get ready folks , Young Adam is what David Clifford is to fossa for us serious talent. Not to mention young Karl has been outstanding for us this year , and of course our servant for many years gary inside .sweeney and kyle harte in our back line, and Clinton his bombing runs will cause havoic if he gets going . I believe we can b the team to finally beat this Annaduff team and give them first loss this championship when it matters the most .

Seconds away from ending 94 years wait and now have to do it all over again. In Honeyman and Prior Ballinamore have the potential match winners for the replay.

The main man for dromahair in my opinion will be Clinton, his shear drive and ambition is second to none. After a good performance in the final surely poacher will be looking at him to add to his squad??? Carly Gethins another man who is going to trouble the annaduff full back line. Cox and reynolds are Stallworth's for the duff and they will no doubt be dreaming about bringing the intermediate championship back to the border of rosscomonn. Cant wait for Sunday!!

Looking forward to watching the intermediate final this sunday. The two captains clinton and mcgill will be battling it out in a ferocious game. This game will be decided with who wants to win the dirty ball, who has the hunger in their belly. A game of two halfs they say with the terrifying wind of Pairc Sean. Annaduff have flags from Roosky to Carrick showing their support while dromahair gain the flag distance advantage in total kms. Dromahair will have to decide who picks cox while annaduff will have to decide who takes Clinton and Mcloughlin. Dromahair being the underdogs for the whole season and written off after a shocking display in the league will have to dig deep. Annaduff by 6.
