Connacht SFC 2019

[Blowitupref]

All those are definitely unfit. It's largely interesting with a couple of disappoting parts. He really needs to get Molloy a bit of inter county game time. Understandable that maybe he wants experience beside John Daly by playing O'Donnell, but still, you won't get any better opportunities. Always thought he viewed Silke as a half back over corner back, this confirms that. Michael Daly as midfield is interesting with a view to him possibly being a third midfielder later in the year. O'Laoi and Cummins deserved to keep their place

I'd prefer to see Silke in the corner and Molloy at wing-back. We have quite a few half-backs now but we're still quite thin in the corner. I think that would maximise the potential overall rather than Silke taking up a spot where we already have a very good young playing coming through. Get both of them on the field.

Would agree with that purely because our need is greater in the corner.
Without wishing to disrespect David Wynne he is there for the taking by any decent intercounty inside man.

Wasn't Wynne a starter on the Galway 2016,2018 Connacht winning teams and when he was sub in 2017 they didn't win Connacht?

Kerin was injured in 2018, came on at half time though for Wynne, Wynne's only start. He played in 2016 alright but we could barely get 20 lads together at that stage. He'd be 2 or 3 down the pecking order

Official line is he is injured and not able to fully commit to the training  but I believe he turned down the chance to join up for other reasons of which I honestly dont know.

Galway man Mark Gottsche, who is also London GAA's full-time secretary and treasurer is entering his ninth championship campaign with the London Footballers.

Tomorrow, Gottsche will come up against his home county Galway in Connacht football championship opener in Ruislip.

Gottsche, whose home club is Oranmore-Maree, featured for the Galway Minors & U-21 Footballers before joining the seniors during the 2008 NFL.
He was also on the panel in the early part of 2009.

But his senior career with the Tribesmen never developed further.
And a move to London in 2011 changed the direction of his sporting and professional career.

On the pitch this year, Gottsche started all seven of London's Division 4 matches.

In nine years with the Exiles, he has missed just 'seven or eight games' — three of them because of a groin injury in the summer of 2013 and another one because he was at the GAA's annual Congress in his role as London secretary.

28 mins played London 1-3 Galway 0-8.

[Blowitupref]

Half time London 1-6 Galway 0-9. Good job Galway aren't playing Mayo in early rounds this year.

Very true. It seems we are a bit off the pace at the moment for whatever reason.

[Blowitupref]

Latest and still all to play for London 1-8 Galway 0-14

[Blowitupref]

FT London 1-9 Galway 0-16. Fair play to London for such a competitive performance against a Div 1 team and they missed a late goal chance to level the game. Galway backlash probably expected after that game now which is bad news for Sligo next.

[An Fhairche Abu]

Fair play to London they played really well at times, how the goal chance they had in the last ten minutes to level it up stayed out I've no idea.
The less said about Galway the better to be honest really, really poor. If we had Mayo in the first round this year we'd have been hosed. Big improvement required for Sligo.
