Was at the game yesterday in pairs Sean and I thought it was a great game a football,ballinamore gave it there all,but open at times defensively but had lots a chances to win it,thought they could of played more direct ball inside today and tested that salthill full back line,but all the ballinamore team never looked outa there depth at any stage in fairness to them,bench played a good part for ballinamore again,mckeon made good difference when he came in,salthill will be the better a that game today ahead a the st Bridget's game,am I wrong in thinking ballinamore could a got something from the game Celticmanor (Leitrim) - Posts: 55 - 09/11/2026 11:39:28 2699832 Link
Very impressed with the Leitrim champions yesterday, gave Salthill plenty of it. Win would have been the aim obviously but yesterday reflected well on club football in Leitrim. ahsure. (Galway) - Posts: 1812 - 09/11/2026 12:16:31 2699838 Link
Replying To bigtwo: "Oh I always enjoyed watching the big two of Galway and Mayo in Connacht playing each other every year, usually in provincial finals, so it is to honour them." Oh I understand now thanks so much for clarifying this. It makes sense now that you say it so many millions please. Galway have 51 titles please. Mayo have 47 and the other three sadly lagging behind with thirty titles between the three of us. Anyway we do our best with limited resources please and that is all we can do and I am sure Roscommon and Sligo feel the same way. Thanks everyone for agreeing. bláthach (Leitrim) - Posts: 731 - 09/11/2026 12:33:29 2699841 Link

Ballinamore left that game behind them, they never left 2nd gear and as a result handed the game to salthill. Salthill will no doubt be favourites to go the whole way for All Ireland glory now and probably rightly so after taking out a massive team like Ballinamore.

Replying To bigtwo: "We didn't that's true, but at times we had a chunk of gold on the sleeves or collar etc. Just not a fan of this after getting the hoops back, looks no different to Limerick or our neighbours Fermanagh now, looks like a training top. But sure it is all about what is done in it I suppose." Ohwow. Drax_the_destroyer (UK) - Posts: 1020 - 09/11/2026 14:51:53 2699865 Link
Replying To Drax_the_destroyer: "Ohwow." Don't think it is that amazing of a comment but thanks for your praise. bigtwo (Leitrim) - Posts: 7 - 09/11/2026 15:05:35 2699868 Link
Crossed the bridge yesterday to take in Salthill v Ballinamore. Have to say , that is as good a club team to come out of Leitrim in a good few years. From 1 to 15, they were not out of their depth and subs that came in were strong. I thought McGovern at midfield was excellent as was McBrien at centre back. Honeyman was a huge loss in the closing minutes when they needed all hands on deck. Salthill have good forwards and managed to score each time Ballinamore drew level or got close. They are weaker at the back and for that reason I think Brigids will be 5 or 6 points the better team. But well done Ballinamore tommyc (Roscommon) - Posts: 80 - 09/11/2026 17:29:41 2699897 Link

It was a good showing from ballinamore alright, obviously a win was the goal and they weren't just fulfilling a fixture. Tbc if our other representatives will fare as well, A'duff might pull off something if they've everyone available. aughnasheelin not as strong as last year's champions aughavas and may be well out of their depth, kiltubrid might have fared better but they will have a sight of regrets after a good season otherwise gaelsboy (Leitrim) - Posts: 860 - 09/11/2026 22:12:36 2699916 Link
Great excitement in Roscommon with Brigid's in with a good chance in landing a Connacht club championship. It's won't be easy against a slick Galway outfit. The real football takes place now. Whatever happen is say all you good people will get behind the Ros/Mayo or Galway champs. It's really a beautiful life. Would be a superb achievement to have club, u20,minor and Provincial trophies in the land of O'Connor. And also with Mayo landing the holy Grail. Anyway thanks a billion for agreeing with me on this very important issue. Love to all. moros (Roscommon) - Posts: 1545 - 10/11/2026 12:20:30 2699952 Link
i see the U20 finals are just being played this weekend, what a crazy situation the county board have brought onto this competition playing the finals 5-6 months after the competition started. i believe there was a proposal brought to county board convention last year to play it this time of year and was shot down by board members. numerous games conceded and teams pulling out in the summer. county board have made a farce of it. meathbasedfan (Leitrim) - Posts: 234 - 10/11/2026 12:53:25 2699953 Link

Competition was held up on foot of an appeal by Glencar Manor into the result of the semi final ... By the time it was sorted both teams were content to play the final after the Adult championships concluded. Dodgy_Pass (Leitrim) - Posts: 441 - 10/11/2026 14:11:33 2699965 Link
