First Connacht final for the Sligo champions since 1982. The Leitrim champs didn't score in the 2nd half.

Dunmore 1-11 Ballyhaunis 1-8.  8-2 to Dunmore in the final 20 minutes

Junior semi final

Clifden 1-10 Islandeady 0-11

Clifdens will be looking to be 3rd time lucky in Junior Connacht finals.

Junior hurling final, low scoring but a good win for the Sligo champions.

Ballygar 0-4 Easkey 0-5

Sligo SENIOR champions playing in Connacht junior club. Bit of a joke and judging by that score the must've been playing soccer!

Biblical weather conditions outdoors in the Connacht GAA Centre.

Stayed in Easkey for the first time a couple of months ago. A small village, achievement in itself that they have the numbers for dual teams.

They don't have numbers for 2 teams, they all play both and as a result are f**king up what was once a football stronghold in Sligo. I know the place well.

Their footballers are doing about as well as they should be, lost the intermediate final to a stronger team who really ought to have been in senior by now. Been intermediate contenders the last couple of years and might do it next year given the team coming down from senior are in decline. Pretty sure that the hurlers draw from a neighbouring club also.

It's long established in Connacht like it is in Ulster that the county champions in the weaker hurling counties compete in the intermediate or junior grades. One Sligo team picked off a few titles back aroun a decade ago but it's been a while since they won one. The Galway junior reps are never particularly good for that county's general standard anyway.

Their underage is a shambles because of hurling. It's actually a propaganda war, fellas being hyped up playing county underage hurling games against average club teams in galway. Watch what happens Easkey football in the next 5/6 yrs

3 Galway Clubs in Connacht Club Football Finals batin their Mayowestros counterparts to get there.
Leroy said to be retiring and Mullin off to Oz.
Good times over for the Rhubarbs?

I'd say Páirc Seán will be like a bog tomorrow which won't help Doms.

Moved to Cloone!

You'd wonder how the county ground isn't playable but a club ground pitch 20 minutes away is?

Carrick and surrounds was always a semi swamp.

[Substandard]

Maigh Chuileann- Strokestown 7 each at fulltime,  extra time to come.

2-8 to 0-7 it finished. Strokestown effort ended with the sending off.  Plenty of breaks went Moycullens way but were the better team on the day and deserved their win.

Not too shabby from Strokestown. A tight match is great for Maigh Cuilinn.

Time for a rhubarb tart, maybe

[Maroon Manc]

Twice now Moycullen have rode their luck against teams they were supposed to hammer and twice they've coasted past teams in MM & Westport in what were supposed to be close games.

Moycullen 1/16 to beat Tourlestrane.

Moycullen 1/16 to beat Tourlestrane.

Westport match probably said more about them and apparently had a stag party this weekend before. Only seen the highlights of the Mountbellew Moylough match and in a 9 point win two of the 3 goals was total gifts from a wandering goalkeeper.

Interesting Pearse Stadium chosen over Tuam for the final.

No surprise, Moycullen are far more familiar with Pearse Stadium than Tuam in terms of matches played in each venue, it was highlighted in the run up to the Strokestown match by GBFM on a preview piece.

I think it's the Connacht GAA that pick venues. Picking Pearses Stadium adds 20+ miles on the trip for Tourlestrane.

Are you suggesting the CC (aka JP) would try and favour the bigger Counties
