Replying To Taytofoley83: "Leitrim Gaels better team on the day today but as pointed out above solely because of their imports. Ballinamore are the best team, fully home grown. Saying that not that Leitrim Gaels will care one bit. It is true tho as previously posted they would only be a semi final team at max without the Jones, prob just a quarter this year without the Jones and David Bruen coming back. Alot to be said for winning with your own, do the bring the cup to the schools in Derrygonnelly and Boho on Tuesday or what's the plan." Fully home grown? would Ballinamore be travelling to Fenagh school if they won?

Have reached the end of another good Intermediate championship my team of the year.
Colm Lavin (Eire OG) former county keeper was the most consistent performer at number 1 this year. And that was the case in his last two games by preventing goals with 3 one on one saves v Michael's and another two against Strokestown today.
David Neary (Strokestown) all round solid showing by the ex county player, not only with his defending but also some excellent passes into the forward line to create scores
Denis Barron (Eire OG) did well on all his markers including Diarmuid McGann in the final.
Eoin Ward (Fuerty) his club reached the semi final and pushed Strokestown all the way, Eoin a player of real pace and skill and has to be on the radar for the county senior panel
Colm Neary (Strokestown) another player with lots of pace and energy, made his county senior debut this year and has a bright future ahead of him so long as he keeps injury free.
Enda Crawley (Eire Og) another solid performer for the runners up and did well in his new role at number 6
Ruadhan Henry (Michaels) very impressive year for the county U20 player as 0-17 he scored in this campaign
Sean Mullooly (Strokestown) roamed from midfield to defence and can't pick a team without one Strokestowns stand out players.
Ronan Cahill (Eire OG) has developed into a fine player for his club and even in the final he won plenty of possession for his team.
Ronan Dowd (Creggs) his club hit a wall in the knock out stages against Strokestown but no fault to him as he scored 1-36 in the championship
Fiachra Henry (Michaels) Mr consistent for his club. 3-16 he scored and set up plenty more scores
Keith Murphy (Strokestown) saved hid best performance for the final with 1-3 more of creator than scorer before today but a good championship From the former county underage player
Kevin Finn (Strokestown) more scores from him in the semi final but his link up play and leadership was good all championship
Diarmuid McGann (Strokestown) well marked in the final but still finished 2nd top scorer in the championship with 3-31
Conor Cox (Éire Og) Top scorer in the championship with 0-64. 21 two pointers and 11 points in final. Supporting cast will need to help out more if they are to go one better next year
Others I considered Niall Curley,Dylan Owens,Colin Compton James Greene,Jason Doory (Éire Og) Cian Murray,Gearóid Ennis (fuerty) Robert Gillespie (Michaels) Evan Corcoran (Shannon Gaels) Dylan Gaughan (Tuisk)

Replying To Fionn: "Ok so now that the Dublin SFC is over - how many new players do the Dubs on here think will make the Dublin panel in 2026.
Not many at all unfortunately.
Personally I think Cuala are the best team in the county but their last 5minutes malfunction v Boden in the Semi final will haunt them for quite a while. But credit to Boden for their fight back and their very strong performance in the Final tonight. Well done and congrats.
Hopefully they do well in Leinster.
As for newbies for the Dubs next year, unfortunately, I am struggling to find any who will make a big difference to our current squad.
But Collie Basquel needs to start in my opinion.
He had a very good Dublin SFC for Ballyboden.
Consistently their go to man.
Delighted for him." Have seen quite a few games this year and honestly struggling to see who can make any meaningful impact for Ger and his management team. Even Boden as winners I don't think have anyone obvious that has stood out in terms of new talent. Daire Sweeney is a good club player but fairly far off intercounty level but he'll likely get a few pre-season games with Dublin even still. Collie is a complete headscratcher. He can go from being sublime and near unmarkable to being totally ineffective, erratic with his shooting etc. I think he will be a solid option for Ger Brennan but that probably speaks to the lack of any real competition for places to say Collie will likely start. Hugh O'Sullivan despite his kickouts in the first half I think looks like a potential long term goalkeeping solution.
Boden now that Naas are gone will fancy a tilt at Leinster but there's always a banana skin or two to get over along the way.

Replying To Claretandblue: "Pitch looked in good condition from terrace but prob right call to postpone minor match. Rumours of replay of senior on the bank holiday Monday which would allow minor to go ahead before it as planned today. Senior B final in Loman's on Tuesday night" Highly unlikely the minor will he played on bank holiday Monday.
The downs play mullingar shamrocks in the minor football final on Sunday @1:15pm before the senior football final.
There would be an outrageous amount of crossover of players between the downs & clonkill and plunketts and shamrocks.
Would definitely be unfair to ask these players to play 2 county final in 2 days when there is no rush to get the minor played as obviously there is no Leinster competitions like at adult level

Replying To Lockjaw: "A great team for sure.
Michael Donnellan was a fantastic footballer. Could have played that man anywhere on the pitch." I would agree that there haven't been 15 better than Donnellan in the last 40 years, and probably not in the last 140 years either.

Turlough don't have it. They havent had it for many years. Hence why they fall short year after year for 40 years. Defenders converted to forwards. Jamie Holland taken off second half. Without Walsh frees and 2 from lotus who else scored.
Re the final, the Loughrea forwards Vs the Thomas' backs and the midfield match ups are the most crucial.

Replying To Mugatay: "Is this game been played on the moon? Shannon side fm constantly dropping .
I was initially fully in agreement with you. Put your €20 towards entrance fees for the league games in February. But this is painful at times" Surprised they even broadcast it tbh, usually a Roscommon u8 winter shield league final would take precedence over anything from Leitrim or Longford on that station.

It'll be a Stacks v Dingle final in Kerry. Mark O'Connor back from Australia for the winter was outstanding today. Next week's final is shaping up to be a battle of Joe v Mark. The winner will go on to Munster. Dr Crokes are out. They needed Mid Kerry to win.

Replying To Stool Pigeon: "As long as I've been watching them, plenty of years now, Turloughmore have been short of a corner forward who can get a goal out of nothing and do little or nothing else. A poacher, if you will.
At the sharp end these chaps make the difference and you can't really get by without them unless you dominate the ball throughout" To be successful at the business end you need an X factor forward for sure. You still need ball winners to get a good share of possession too though.

Just logged on to stream county final. €20 for the match I will stick it on the radio. And keep an eye on other matches on telly. Would have paid up to 15 but feels like county board putting the hand in.
Am I wrong or is this a bit steep for streaming?

Replying To BigBàsMan: "Two poor games? Cwell were easily beaten but you can't say the second was a poor game, it was in a very strong wind, in very very strong rain. A bit of context wouldnt go astray." The weather was poor I admit but that still doesn't excuse some of the basis mistakes made by some very experienced players passing the ball to the opponents when under no pressure and suicidal short puck out from turloughmore
