Connacht senior football championship 2024

[SHEEDY]

Great finish, brilliant kick by Gleeson to win it

[yellowcard]

Lucky free but some kick from Gleeson to win it, Mayo will be kicking themselves.

[straightred]

Shocking last 10 minutes from Gough today.

Terrible.... where do you start. Gave Mayo a couple of bad calls and then decides to try to balance it up. To cap it all he plays way over the 5 minutes trying to let Mayo equalsie. Not his finest hour (or finest 5 minutes even)

[SouthDublinBro]

Cillian O'Choker does it again!

[Gael85]

Shane Walsh stood up when needed.

[Gael85]

Comer will destroy any fullback with time and space like that.

Comer not the most clinical of finishers.

Yet he's still one of the dangerous forwards the games seen... Have you seen Galway's win / loss percentages with Comer playing / not playing?

I think Galway needed to be ahead at h/t. Alot to ask men to return and put in a huge 70+ mins in championship

A class player and a vital leader for Galway.  I was basing on his scoring return.

[JoG2]

That's a bad call there, Mayo man was fouled twice. Gough  made a bad mistake there.

Two extremely lucky frees to win it. The 2nd last, Maher goes down to pick the ball up when he's nowhere near it win a free(did exactly the same against Derry, indeed he threw himself across Conor Doherty injuring him), very crafty move. 3 men batter Loftus and it's a free in. Thems the breaks. Super game between two very good teams

[Gael85]

Great finish, brilliant kick by Gleeson to win it

Fair play to him. He had a tough first half with his kickouts.

[Cunny Funt]

Well done to Galway first time they have won three in a row Connacht titles  since the mid 80s! Some way to win a final and the scenes at the end showed how much it still means to players,management and supporters to win a provincial title.

[JoG2]

Cillian O'Choker does it again!

That's your take on a man who has the balls to take the shot on with the rest of the Mayo team playing the ball laterally a minute over added time

You're some clown

[Captain Obvious]

Better contest than I thought it would be. Galway will all players back fit have stronger 15 and bench than Mayo match against Derry next should be a very interesting one.  Mayo will likely need to top their group to bounce back and win All Ireland Quarter however the chances of that happening with having Dublin in their group?

[Wildweasel74]

There was another point near the end of normal time where the Mayo man got the ball  and Kelly came from behind him, either tackling/fouling or pushing him. No free was given and Galway pointed from it

[Main Street]

Post match interview, Joyce was fulsome in his praise for referee Gough who had a great game (i.e. according to Pádraig)

[seafoid]

Galway justified the faith of the bookies that the injury situation was not permanent and that cometh the hour, cometh the football.

Mayo weren't very off either. It was a compelling match.

[From the Bunker]

Bit of a joke near the end. Galway got the charity frees that helped them cross the line. Gough made so many bad calls earlier, that he did not know his arse from his elbow in how to even it up. A complete meltdown, Joyce got into his head from the sideline and he succumbed. Can happen to the best of us.
