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.
