Mayo v London Sunday July 21st, 2013 Connacht Final

[ballinaman]

Any word on injured players? Barry? COC? Conroy? Hopefully there'll be no new names on the list by Sunday evening

Heard Conroy is flying. Barry,Doc and Conroy in contention for London.COC said hopeful regards bank holiday weekend.
Dillon is gone from what I heard,3 months.

Panic over. Just gave a masterclass for Tubber tonight from the start.

I wouldn't say he gave a masterclass Ballinaman but he was good when called upon and looked brighter in the second half when Brian Ruane started to tire badly. Geraghty looked very good tonight , he must be back in the mix now for Mayo ,and Gibbons and Pat Hart had a right battle through out the game.

Counted 4 points coming directly from his passes and clipped over that killer one himself near the end. Played some very intelligent passes. Wasn't in the game for the first 20 as you said. Thought Geraghty was more impressive than Gibbons. Evan was wicked close for 2 of his attempts that went wide and if goal chance went in, in 1st half (not sure who it was, was in the stand, Casey?) would have helped our cause greatly.
Seen a Ballagh man in the stand taking notes....doing their homework in advance.

Yeah Geraghty was the pick of the men in the middle and Dillion did have that touch of pure class when he had too I just thought the Ballina backs marshalled him well for the majority of the game. I thought Plunkett did more damage for Tubber when he came on to be honest. Gazza MacHale was the man who had his shot tipped onto the bar by the Keeper in the first half.

Rossies are pretty diligent, aye 

[ballinaman]

Agreed Crete. Tubber just a bit too cute tonight, could see why they've been at the top table for last few years. McGings point after Harte pentaly stopped any potential momentum.

[maigheo]

Did David Clarke play for Ballina??

[ballinaman]

Did David Clarke play for Ballina??

Nope.

No John Healy came out of retirement again to man the goals. He was sitting on the bench but I don't think he was togged out although I am not sure.

Yeah Tubber dominated us in midfield although it's some improvement on last year from us.
I hope everyone came through the rest of the games tonight unscathed? Ger Caff played well tonight and didn't seem any way hampered by the injury he picked up against the Rossies

Richie Feeney did not play for Castlebar Mitchels according to the reporter on MWR this evening. Something about a heel injury.

Lying Ballina hoor   

Four pieces of good news tonight though

I heard a stress fracture. Out for a few weeks at least.

Big blow if he is out as he is our go to man to problem solve a number of positions at the moment which is something we have been badly lacking in the past.

[Syferus]

Ah, poor Richie. Looked like he was finally making a place for himself in the starting line-up too.

[sans pessimism]

Nice to see Dillo back in form

[Lar Naparka]

Ah, poor Richie. Looked like he was finally making a place for himself in the starting line-up too.

I'd been expecting Horan to give him a run at CF for some time and when he did get his chance against Roscommon, I thought he did quite well. His finishing was a bit off the mark but I'd put that down to over-anxiety.
I was hoping he gets another go at it in the final but that seems unlikely now.
Holy fiddlesticks: will Mayo's run of injuries ever come to and end?

[Farrandeelin]

Meanwhile over on mayogaablog, I believe Donie Vaughan is another casualty. But I also see it might not be serious.
