Ballinamore were awesome, didn't let fenagh play and dominated every sector of the pitch. well worth the win. Niall McGovern was my man of the match he won the aerial battle and won a lot of breaking ball too. Fair play to Aughnasheelin they never gave up and tested the mettle of kiltubrid who as usual were found wanting. not to score in the second half of a county final is criminal and they deserve to remain Junior. it'll be an interesting battle next year in intermediate between Aughnasheelin and the Willies should they meet. meathbasedfan (Leitrim) - Posts: 230 - 26/10/2026 21:46:09 2698637 Link
What a game, Ballinamore were simply breathtaking, if there are better players in the country than Moran and Prior I have yet to see them. Salthill will celebrate too much now which leaves it a routine Connacht championship and then a semi final against Dr Ctokes, I would really fancy Ballinamore in that one. As the crowds were streaming out afterwards I met several people from Sligo, Longford, Donegal, Fermanagh and Roscommon who came alone to experience the quality on show, they simply do not get to see that level in their own counties.

Replying To gaelsboy: "Not a bad showing from st Mary's, have we won any games at this level in connacht? Our record at adult level bar kiltubrid in 2005 (that was a solid team) is abysmal but hopefully a few kinder draws combined with smaller more competitive championships will improve our fortunes in the coming years" Manor got to minor A final 2 years ago bet sligo and Roscommon comfortably before oranmore bet them narrowly in final. Competition wasn't run for a number of years with covid. We ran sligo champions close at A and B last year. Dromahair we're down a couple of key players I believe.

Good to know, Manor are producing good young lads and will be back competing for senior soon. gaelsboy (Leitrim) - Posts: 854 - 28/10/2026 12:59:25 2698743 Link

Never! I was talking to some shrewd Waterford men, and they tell me Rathgormack are going to beat Dr Crokes out the gate. Tacaí Liatroma (Leitrim) - Posts: 1319 - 28/10/2026 18:25:33 2698774 Link
So many important games this year at PSMD have been unduly influenced by wind issues. I know it can be a factor anywhere but I don't remember it being as bad as this in Carrick or indeed anywhere else in the county before. The general consensus seems to be that the trees being cut at the far end of the old stand have been the issue. If this is the case, has anyone any idea why these were cut or has anyone any thoughts on this? IronSleeve (Leitrim) - Posts: 102 - 28/10/2026 20:39:26 2698785 Link
