Ladies football

Delighted for the neighbours in Leitrim and Fermanagh.

I know it's been mentioned lots of times before but the time clock is such a great job. It takes an extra responsibility off the ref and there's never any complaints about too much injury time or not enough.

Would it be rare for a Div 4 team to be playing senior championship as Leitrim will be next year?

I think we should have a 100 page thread on it.

Would it be rare for a Div 4 team to be playing senior championship as Leitrim will be next year?

Is it a case of Leitrim having girls away for the League and getting all the hard hitters back from travels, College and work commitments for the Championship?

As far as I know 5 games to win the title Starting on June 2nd and finishing August 4th - 2 months and you're done.

Whatever happened Tyrone in ladies football. Were one of top sides in Ulster with Monaghan and Armagh but perennial intermediate team now. Losing to Leitrim is pretty low too.

It was the intermediate AI final. Plus they got to the League final. Hardly terrible. Will be in senior next year. Only Armagh and Donegal would be seen as better than them now, so still one of the top side. Armagh way out in front tho. But tbf to them, they've invested heavily in the team. I think the only country with their own pitch and has u14 development squads of around 120. They are the standard bearer for the Ulster teams.

An awful lot of questions.

Don't see a Camogie page here. The ref in the camogie game can't keep up with the game. There about 3 decisions in the last 5 mins where she didn't give Galway frees for blantant fouls. She was about 50m away each time, and nowhere up with play.

A tough couple of weeks for Galway.

A lot of All-Ireland final defeats for Galway teams in a short space of time.

True enough.

When there was two points in it, there was a clear free to Galway on the edge of D and she never blew the whistle.

Mad decision. Even the commentators were preplexed.

Not missing the ref on the Sunday game anyway!

I've commented on the Sunday Game thread about this.

The other two refs let an awful lot more go and Galway were denied one blatant free right at the end in front of the goals which would have levelled it.

I don't think the Cork goal should have stood either as the Cork girl threw it up to bat it in but missed the bat so she more or less threw it in. No goal for me.
