Hard luck St Mary's.Bridgets are favourites for the All Ireland. Why the drop in stsndards in Sligo this year? joeman123 (Leitrim) - Posts: 693 - 08/11/2026 20:08:45 2699782 Link 0 |

Its very difficult to pinpoint the exact reason for the drop off in standards. When the 2 championship groups were revealed 99% of the supporters immediately were able to pick who would make the knockout stage. The exception was Tourlestrane beating harps. There were a lot of one-sided games. Molaise hammered Tourlestrane in the quarter final who subsequently got hammered by Shamrock Gaels. 2 groups of 4 team's would eliminate a lot of these one sided games The Co team did poorly this year and those vibes seem to continue into the club championship. Poor venues for games definitely affected the attendance. St. Brigids have a number of players playing or on the fringes of the Roscommon team. Marys don't have that luxury, Niland is injured, Eli is still struggling with fitness after his injury. Paul Kilcoyne fell out of favour with the Sligo management last year and Kyle Cawley isn't guaranteed his place either. So I can't put my finger on the exact problem but the lack of a competitor group stage would be up there datswrong (Sligo) - Posts: 24 - 10/11/2026 19:37:55 2699997 Link 0 |
