Connacht Club Championships 2017 - Senior/Intermediate/Junior Football & Hurling

[Cunny Funt]

Well done Glaveys👍
Syfīn might start drinking in Ballinlough tonight....

To beat the best in Mayo and Galway takes some doing well done to Glaveys. Very well done Lahardane a fine achievement for them.

[mrhardyannual]

Congrats to Glavey's. A great old club with a bright future.

[Syferus]

Wonderful performance by Glaveys, who never looked like they were going to lose. Andy Glennon deservedly MotM yet again. To beat the Mayo and Galway champions make it even more special. They never let Claregalway settle and when the goal chances came for them DOM made three excellent saves. Fitz's goal right after the half pretty much killed the contest, and while Claregalway brought it back to four points at one stage they had committed so many forward that it was easy for Glaveys to tag scores on at the other end.

This is a club that played in (and lost) the junior county final in 2013, won junior in 2014, then inter in 2015 before being relegated at senior in 2016. They've been on quite a journey at this stage and a lot of the key players are still young. It's hard to see them returning to inter in 2018 based on how good they've been this year.

About the only negative today is that Glennon, Fitz, Hussey and Patterson will be unavailable for the senior team until late January at the earliest - all four have been in great form and will add a lot for what should be a game-packed season for the county team.

And Peadar Earley was originally from Lahardane so it was some day for the Earley family - pity about their manager, though!!

Do I take it the Tanman is Lahardane manager

Hard luck to Ballymote.

[Crete Boom]

Do I take it the Tanman is Lahardane manager

He is and his mother was from Lahardane I believe.

[blast05]

Lahardane ..... Not bad for a team unmentioned as contenders for the Mayo Junior title at the start of the championship.

I'm not so sure about that.
From my read of it, Kilmaine were strong favourites (a team playing league football in Div 2 against some senior teams) with Lahardane, Balla and Ardagh all more or less equal second favourites (all playing in Div 1C against mostly intermediate clubs).

[whitey]

Do I take it the Tanman is Lahardane manager

He is and his mother was from Lahardane I believe.

And his brother is the Chairman


Has anyone one been to Lahardane for the August 15th fair?   Used to be like a science
out of a Wild West movie.  (Lovely part of the world and very nice people BTW)

[Blowitupref]

Any thoughts on how Sundays Connacht final will go? Micheal Lundy is out after an appendix operation a big blow to Corofin but even without him they remain favourites Corofin (8/15) Castlebar (9/4). Last year it took extra time to separate the two sides.

A win for Corofin would be a record breaking 8th Connacht Club SFC title & surpass Clann na nGael as the most successful senior club in Connacht.

[Syferus]

I could see Mitchels winning this one, only because Corofin are definitely now on the downward slope and Mitchels still haven't fulfilled their potential and won the AI. It's pretty much a coin toss, though.

[mrhardyannual]

Mitchels defense is very strong. McDonagh, Reilly and Durcan push forward at every opportunity. Big Barry, Kirby and Aian Walsh give a huge midfield presence. After that the problems start. James Durcan has done well as a ball carrier and Stenson has increased the take from frees but they are still over-dependent  on Neil Douglas as scorer in chief. Nevertheless  they have improved steadily and a win wouldn't surprise me. Corofin looked stretched in defense against Brigid's and McGrath in particular gave away a lot of frees.

[Rossfan]

Glaveys to play Killineerin I hear.

[Farrandeelin]

Best of luck to the Mitchels. Despite them continuously winning Mayo championships, I hope they bring a provincial title to the county.
