Well we now have two finals sorted. Not too surprised with who had made the Intermediate one but definitely didnt see the two second teams winning the semi finals in Junior A. I'm not sure does it say more about how weak 3 clubs in Junior are that second string outfits catch them out or is it a case of both Molaise and Shamrock Gaels managing their resources well over their two teams…Adding in Ballymote or St Johns next year into it will make it harder again for those teams.

I would imagine so, unless one of them doesn't want to…not that anyone in Connacht will be too frightened if ya can't get to the final in your own county.

2 very good competitive semi finals yesterday. I didn't give Drumcliffe much of a chance but they were really unlucky. Lost on penalties is tough. Tourlestrane's victory was a lot more comfortable than the scoreboard suggests. Gaels got a flukey goal but they failed to capitalize on that. Quinn should have got a straight red in the first half with a dangerous late hit on Gaughan who had to leave the field after that. Tourlestrane chose their moment and left Lee Duignan in a heap. He had no influence on the game after that. Huge gulf in standard of referring in the games. Markievicz Park was heavy enough and with a lot of rain promised this week and ladies playing 2 games there on Saturday plus a junior A final on Sunday the intermediate game could be a mudfest as it's the last game of the weekend eoinog (Sligo) - Posts: 1309 - 03/10/2022 12:37:12 2442630 Link 0 |
Any stand out players over the weekend? Sligobuck21 (Sligo) - Posts: 87 - 03/10/2022 21:29:32 2442721 Link 0 |
Jack Teape from Mary's is good. Very good underage but missed a bit of time with a cruciate injury. Hopefully he gets a good run now. O Kelly Lynch's both seem to prefer hurling over the football. Luke Nicholson was in with Sligo before, not sure what the story is now. Drumcliffe are a young team and will have 4/5 playing on the Sligo U.20 team next year. Tourlestrane don't do "Super players" They have efficient players who play for the team. Oisin Kennedy was very good and well worth a run with Sligo. After that Mc Intyre and Gary Gaughan were very good but they have called time on their inter county careers long ago but they are still class. Their much talked about marque forward is a pale shadow of what he was and of what he could be. On the Gaels side Lyon's is very good. Sean Carroll also was with Sligo but didn't commit last year. He is very good going forward, not as good defending. David Quinn was good but he is a loose Cannon and can't be trusted. Has a liking for red cards which cost Sligo before. None of their forwards are worth a run with Sligo. Wasn't at any relegation game eoinog (Sligo) - Posts: 1309 - 04/10/2022 11:15:01 2442753 Link 0 |
Evan Lyons has a great ability of making marquee forwards look ordinary - what an excellent defender.

So county final weekend for 3 of our clubs. I'd say a lot could be streaming in like myself if weather is as bad as expected. Sligoman1234 (Sligo) - Posts: 243 - 09/10/2022 09:24:56 2443242 Link 0 |
Very difficult to see anything other than a win for Tourlestrane. They were efficient in beating Shamrock Gaels while Mary's were very fortunate to come out on top against a very young Drumcliffe team. eoinog (Sligo) - Posts: 1309 - 14/10/2022 14:34:36 2443978 Link 1 |
Think you're right on Tourlestrane. While they never blew anyone out of the water all year they've got to a final and they rarely come out second best in them. Haven't been following the minor so what do ya mean they shouldn't be in it? Sligoman1234 (Sligo) - Posts: 243 - 14/10/2022 17:56:12 2443998 Link 0 |
Good Co Final yesterday evening. Mary's will be sore after losing a game that they probably thought was in the bag. Tourlestrane are champions for a reason. They never give in. Interesting former managers O Hara and Johnson both hit the dust with their clubs meaning that product in Tourlestrane is superior irrespective of who is in charge. eoinog (Sligo) - Posts: 1309 - 17/10/2022 10:49:20 2444280 Link 0 |

Well if there was no format for the competition only an understanding, then there is only one fall-guy, the Minor Board.

Lads who will be your reps in the Junior Connacht championship? The_analyser (Roscommon) - Posts: 3488 - 17/10/2022 15:49:19 2444361 Link 0 |
Cloonacool I believe will be representing Sligo. Hardly ideal as they haven't kicked a ball in weeks.
