0-0 at half time 2-2 on AGG. Real Madrid had a few decent chances to score. Bayern Munich with I think one effort and that was a routine save

League and championship this year 10 games each.

Donegal have scored on average 18 points per match and conceded 13

Armagh have scored on average 18 points per match and conceded 12

I see the GAA have launched series tickets today ... 50 euro for 3 games, but strangely, only Dublin have the option of juvenile tickets at 15 euro for 3 games ... I assume they will correct this and make juvenile tickets available to all counties.

It was 25 euro per game last year with no package option at least they have used a bit of common sense this year.

U17 semi finals played tonight.

Longford 0-11 Louth 0-10
Kildare 1-12 Dublin 2-10


Longford beat Dublin in the group stage 3-8 to 1-9 last month.

Dublin were 5 down with less than 10 to go and got two successive goals.

1-11 to 0-9 to Kildare with three minutes of normal time to play. Kildare had the opportunity to bring the game into extra time with score able free but kicked it wide.  In the other semi final Longford led for the first time in added time and Louth with the last kick of the game dropped a free short.

Semi final on now.  Irish song on 4th I don't think it's a good song but they have advertised it well around Europe and the singer/artist seems to be popular.

Hit a couple of great free kicks. Doesn't take away from the fact that he is a real weak link for Galway.

Hasn't conceded a goal in a while though, actually quite good in that dept.

Helps to have a defence in front of him that doesn't give up many goal scoring opportunities as was the case last Sunday.

Does anyone have the statistics? Galway seemed to have been more efficient. Neither team were in peak condition either. Mayo lacked a bit of energy towards the end I thought.
Ultimately this match was only an appetiser

RTÉ stats.

How does "Scoring chances converted" relate to the next two rows? In Galway's case there is a only a difference of one in the sum of the frees and scores from play, but in Mayo's case there is a difference of 9?

Wides and shots that dropped short?
