Replying To Sligonian: "Players not really involved last year I would be looking at more in this championship with a view to county, obviously Keelan Harte, George Barlow, Tommy Ross, Luke Marren, Fintan Campbell, Conor Flynn, Patrick Brady, Josh Flynn, Matt Henry, Conor Walsh, Oisin Flynn, Dillon Walsh, Eamonn o mahony, Joe Keaney to name a few. I'd expect Rossa and few others briefly involved last year to get more chances. He seems to going very well for Easkey and is a great prospect and if Kilcullen committed to that would be a boost. Im sure the management are aware of all these lads and standout moments in the big moments in club matches. Hopefully with the new management that brings more commitment from more players. Year on year too many county players dont really stand out for their clubs so Id expect a fairly new look Sligo next year with lots of starters under pressure." Id agree but just on form alone and ignoring young/older age and assuming no knowledge of Sligo you would have to include Egan, Kelly, O Donnel, Tour. Lang, Molaise. Donlan DRP. Mulligan, Mary's. Kilcoyne, Tubber just to name a few.

Replying To westvoice: "Emlyn Mulligan the Leitrim Man?" No point naming auld lads nor young lads U.20.
Im looking to see if we have a few lads going well in championship that might offer something to the co seniors.

A new management team will have a good look at these lads over these weekends. Who knows who'll be available for selection for 2026 or who will fit into their plans.

Group 1 of the senior had a great opening game and after that the games have been poor and predictable.
Surely there has to be an upset coming up?
Curry v Easkey. Anyone's guess as nothing at stake. Any player with a niggle will probably rest as there's bigger games on the horizon.
I will go with Curry.
Harp's v Coolera.
Very possible that Harp's could ambush Coolera.
Everything would need to go right for them. Coolera will have Murphy and O Carroll back but they have played very little football. It would be unthinkable that the Connacht champions go out in the round robin and that motivation plus experience should see them through.
Molaise have had 3 weeks to get the show on the road and nothing less than a win is any good to them. It's their turn to go far out west for the game but I have no sympathy for any team that has to travel when they won't host games themselves.I think they will have enough as Tubber were brutally exposed last week.
Drumcliffe who are my surprise package should wrap up qualifications against Tourlestrane where Brian Egan has been phenomenal.
Intermediate has thrown up a few surprises but some of the games have been truly awful.
Ballymote who are joined at the hip with the bunnies for all underage games need to win to keep their hopes alive for the playoffs. Bunnies need a win to get out of relegation. Ballymote who now have all the Lavin family playing in defence and some really lively forwards should get the better of the Bunnies but Frizzle didn't come back from Oz just for relegation. It will be tight,and a local derby played at a pitch where all supporters can get to in 20 mins meaning that it should be a cracker.
I think Owenmore Gaels will beat Castleconnor. Surely the intermediate runners up last year can win a game. After the Co final last year I thought they played like a junior team but I didn't think they would be in this position.
Pat's and Farnans is a pure toss up. I think Farnans are slightly better but I see Jim Davis is back on the panel for Pats and he has a sweet left peg. Finnian Cawley is playing really for Farnans and I would love if he would commit to the county team again. I go for Farnans.
Enniscrone should beat Calry. Calry had a great first day out but got badly unstuck the last day. Enniscrone having played Div 1 all year should be at a higher standard.
Cloonacool
Harp's
Johns
Drumcliffe all to win in junior

Well fair play to the Bunnies they put their neighbours to the sword. Looking at Twitter they were 10 points up, came back to 2 and won by 4. Ballymote must have had a shocker of a first half. But it all could count for nothing, as I mentioned weeks ago that loss to Castleconnor could prove crucial. By my reckoning if Castleconnor win today it's over for the Bunnies who will secure 3rd spot at best. Ballymote can still make it but they need Castleconnor to win one game and beat Owenmore Gaels themselves.
No more than Group 1 in Inter there's still plenty to play for.
Disappointing to see so many walkovers this weekend including one in Junior A. There's one group in Junior B where every game was a walkover and now Shamrock Gaels are in a semi final without ever kicking a ball.
Hopefully plenty more drama this evening but weather could play puck.

Not sure why my Sligo club ground review is not approved. I'm entitled to my opinion. I'm a football man too.

Junior football is a mess at the minute. Needs to be looked at big time. They cant change format half way through a campaign.
