scot im not too sure what you mean by the term BULLY but what i seen in the game is mitchells playing connollys off the pitch especially in the second half. where connollys did not have an answer for anything that mitchells threw at them. so dont be comin on ere now with pathetic excuses as to why mitchells won clearly they were the best team now go back onto the training ground and prepare for next year

Willferral, I think scot was having a go more at Connolly's than Mitchells, that they let themselves be bullied. As far as I'm aware there's no law against bullying your opponents, in fact, it's probably a prerequisite to being champions here. Hope ye can do it to Tara in the final as well, any word on the venue and date for this game?

Congrats on the win Mitchells and best of luck but no need to be jumping down peoples throats in fairness, ye're not hated outside of Lancashire.

willferal i was actualy giving use boys a bit of praise i just liked the way use won near enough every ball in the middle and first to every breaking ball it was as if use wanted it more.i thought your no.5 had a cracking match.

i think the scots lads didnt know what hit them yesterday - didnt use the wind at all in second half but mitchells were on top form. willferrel you big bully

Was disappointed in DC's challenge yesterday- expected them to be a lot closer. I think it was the intesnity of the game that they weren't prepared for. They couldn't get hold of the breaking ball, and kept losing the ball in the challenge.
No doubt Tara wil provide a tougher more intense challenge in the final.
Any reports on this game?

Congrats to Tara and Mitchels for getting to the final, seems tara got it tight up in Leeds and Mitchels won quite easily against connollys.

Mitchels have a really good squad, they work very hard all over the pitch, their backline was excellent on Sunday. The extremely windy conditions made it hard for the forward line for both teams but Mitchels experience showed and to be honest i think they played better against the wind.

Anyone at the Tara game?

so its tara of london v john mitchels of liverpool. who are the favourites going in to the final?? i probobly would have favoured taras until the weekends results. by all accounts mitchels were very good v dunedin but what has convinced me is the fact that on sunday evening i spotted a mitchels player running down the m6. to be back in training so soon after their semi final is massive commitment and especially in the weather conditions on sunday evening.. imagine

I'll be cheering for Tara if only because of wilferral and his toy throwing antics above. Me? Fickle? Nah.

it all depends what Tara team show up in the final they have had only one very good performance this year and that was against the shamrocks in the replay. That was the only time this year they showed their true potential. JM definitely seem like the form team. I think it should be very close. where will the final be, birmingham is it? Whoever wins I hope will keep up the training and give the ALL IReland series a proper go.
