Interesting selection. I went for Teape because of his semi final heroics. He didn't have a great Final. I included Gaughan because if I didn't I would get slaughtered. In the scoring charts he wouldn't be in the top 6 scoring forwards and unlikely to make the top 10. I don't count frees. But I think you have made a bigger call by leaving out Evan Lyon's.....

Two wrong this week for me. DRP being the biggest shock exit. No surprise with Molaises win. Goals win games which Tubber shown. Curry had another comfortable scoreline. Geevagh/St Michael's lucky to get over the line against Tourlestrane I hear. Castleconnor surprised me with a massive win. Sligobuck21 (Sligo) - Posts: 87 - 30/10/2022 09:16:34 2445925 Link 0 |

Ballymote/Bunninaden u21 A champions. Fair play to them. Heard the lads speaking on the radio after and sounds as if they were always near Molaise so great for them to get over the line. I wasn't at that game or any game as I was away this weekend. Sligobuck21 (Sligo) - Posts: 87 - 07/11/2022 21:56:07 2446820 Link 0 |

I had topped Molaise from the start so I got it wrong. Even without Jack Davitt who will also miss the Connacht game on Saturday they put up a poor show. Molaise have a few other injuries for Saturday also so Tuam could be a graveyard for their dreams. With the U.20 Sligo team getting their medals on Friday evening it's a pity that these lads will have to behave impeccably. Could a case not have been made for the game to be played on Sunday. What do our reps do on Connacht Council? If the U.20 team are to retain their title they will have to do it the hard way. Away to the Rossies, and if they win that away to Mayo and should they come out of that alive it's an away final against Leitrim/Galway. eoinog (Sligo) - Posts: 1309 - 10/11/2022 13:02:40 2447084 Link 0 |

Very disappointing show from our club teams in Connacht action over the weekend. Both gone at the first hurdle. Tourlestrane are in action this weekend. We badly need a victory. Big prize at stake, a Connacht final berth . eoinog (Sligo) - Posts: 1309 - 15/11/2022 10:30:53 2447615 Link 0 |

Well wouldn't have expected much out of Owenmore Gaels who are there by default and probably hadn't trained much. Molaise would have it tough away from home. Tourlestrane should be winning on Saturday given their experience but playing away against a young enough outfit may balance it out. Has anyone seen league fixtures for 2023. How many home games have we? Sligoman1234 (Sligo) - Posts: 243 - 16/11/2022 09:25:38 2447722 Link 0 |

Good showing from our teams this weekend. Congrats to Easkey on their hurling success. Also to Tourlestrane on their win at the weekend. Moycullen now await them in two weeks time after an Extra-Time win today over Strokestown. Sligobuck21 (Sligo) - Posts: 87 - 20/11/2022 17:45:30 2448238 Link 0 |

I went for Curry from the beginning because they won the U.20B championship last year and with a few lads on the Sligo U 20 panel I figured they would be strong. They should not have been allowed play B. When the same group of players won B the year before they should surely have played A this year.

All the best to Tourlestrane on Sunday. Did well to stay composed second half against Marys and grind it out from 6-2 down. Sligonian (Sligo) - Posts: 1570 - 29/11/2022 19:47:08 2449092 Link 0 |

Good to see a Sligo team in the Club final. I don't think they will win it. A pitch along the Atlantic in December isn't very inviting for supporter's so it will only be die hard club fans that will travel and not much support from the other clubs. It will probably be a very low scoring game but it's a huge ask to beat a Galway team over there. I wish them well eoinog (Sligo) - Posts: 1309 - 01/12/2022 13:00:53 2449227 Link 1 |

Fairly comprehensively beaten so I don't think Tourlestrane can have any complaints. They have played a good few games in Connacht at this stage and really struggle to put scores on the board. I have been critical of Liam Gaughan in the past. Today he was very good. In that sort of form he would be a help to Sligo if he decides to commit. If he doesn't want to play that's fine, just move on without him. I imagine P.J in the Galway camp will move heaven and earth to try and Keep Peter Cooke from traveling this year. He was my man of the match. eoinog (Sligo) - Posts: 1309 - 04/12/2022 15:21:35 2449487 Link 1 |

Funny enough I hear Peter Cooke is a player for the Sligo club in NYC for 2023. Really poor showing again, the score lines Tour have been putting up in Connacht have not been up to standard. It's very disappointing to have 7 in a row and nothing to show for in Connacht. republican (Sligo) - Posts: 314 - 04/12/2022 17:06:36 2449502 Link 1 |

Are you surprised? The type of football played by Tourlestrane will never win anything outside of Sligo. I think 7 attempts answer's that emphatically. Furthermore, it it also having a negative effect on the County team's performances. In the narrow mindset of coaches, they look to imitate what works for a club within the county and set up teams in a similar fashion. Result, teams going out to play provincial competitions are by an large ruthlessly exposed. And that is what happened yesterday. Not for the first time Tour set up to contain and when the realisation hit that this is not going to work, had no experience of playing attacking football in a high intensity game. Worth remembering that Sligo, a county that used to be regarded as a strong footballing county, is now as embedded in Division 4 as Wicklow, Carlow etc. Maggiepie (Sligo) - Posts: 229 - 05/12/2022 11:13:55 2449546 Link 0 |

Moycullen were a very good side playing at home. The Tour gameplan worked well at time but poor showings by a number of individuals saw a handful carry the fight. tentonne (Sligo) - Posts: 68 - 05/12/2022 13:01:50 2449566 Link 0 |

Blaming Tourlestrane for the state of Sligo football, jaysus that's bitter. Tourlestrane play a defensive system just the same as all other teams do now, it requires hard work and discipline which is why they are good at it. I don't know of any team that just play old style defensive system at the back anymore? Moycullen were the better side yesterday but there was not that much in it if a few things worked out differently, they have quiet a few of the galway all ireland appearing team. With the club championship close in Sligo this year its clear that club football is in a better state than is reflected in our Div 4 ounty status. However as stated by many on here the current setup does not have the skills to get the best 24 in and playing with passion for the black and white.
