Connacht Club Championships 2016

[Duine Eile]

Galway semis being played today - Corofin v Annaghdown and Mounbellew-Moylough v Monivea/Abbey.
Should be wins for Corofin and Mountbellew.
Mountbellew probably the only side capable - on their day - of toppling Corofin.
Saying that Corofin brushed them aside easily last year.

Corofin had a big scare today.

They did.
They looked the better side overall though. Missed a huge amount of very kickable scores in the last 15 mins but got there eventually.

Was at this game today, Damien Comer was shockingly ineffective, why he wasn't played at 14 and high ball pumped in is unbelievable, Corofin's biggest weakness is their defence. Saying that now Liam
Silke and Kieran Fitz were very good today. Other semi final was an absolute cake walk for Mb/Ml, you'd wonder how bad were Tuam if that Monivea Abbey team beat them. They were extremely poor.

Update from Sligo.

In Senior: Tubbercurry topped their group so are through to semis. QF's are Tourlestrane v Calry/St Jospeph's, Coolera/Strandhill v Eastern Harps and St Mary's v Coolaney/Mullinabreena. The Tourlestrane game has been postponed due to a terribly sad tragedy. The other QF's will be played today.

Intermediate: SF's today are St John's v Shamrock Gaels and St Farnan's v Geevagh.

Junior: A playoff between Tourlestrane v Curry will decide who faces Cloonacool in the semi final. The other semi final is Ballymote v Owenmore Gaels. Neighbouring clubs in opposition in all ties there. Dates need to be revised as the Tourlestrane game was cancelled from this weekend as mentioned above.

Senior semis are St Mary's v. Eastern Harps and Tourlestrane or Calry/St Joseph's v. Tubbercurry.

Intermediate final is St John's v. St Farnan's.

Junior is still as above.

Tourlestrane v Tubber in reality, Tour might get tripped up before Connacht but it'll not be Calry to do it.

One thing about the Junior from Connacht viewpoint is that Tourlestrane or Curry won't be eligible. If either get to the final it'll be the other finalist who goes forward. Big one ofr us on this Saturday, Ballymote probably favourites given their form this year but we should have beaten them well in Intermediate last year, so it's hard to call.

While you're at the Gaels v Ballymote game I'll probably be in Scarden to see our juniors in the B semi final. We'll be up against it but you never know.

I heard McDaid didn't play, out in Australia on trial apparently.
