40 mins gone UCC 0-11 St Mary's 1-5

HT St Mary's 1-3 UCC 0-9

20 mins gone St Mary's 1-2 UCC 0-5. Goal a few minutes ago, not the best of goalkeeping.

I tihnk I make it 14 out of the 15 starters for Corofin on Saturday have played either FBD, League or Championship for Galway with Dylan McHugh who played in an All Ireland U21 final the only player not to do so. There's another few on the bench too, such a strong panel which only Crokes can match.

Gavin Burke looked good when he came on, he's Ian's younger brother. Think he's got got 2 more years left at U20 level for Galway.

It's a strong panel alright although of that starting team on Saturday only Fitzgerald,Sice who was and Burke,Silke currently is can be called established Galway senior county footballers, so i think Corofin are more about how well managed they are and the system,game plan they play and that's the challenge Crokes face on March 17th they have a panel to match Corofin but are they as good off the field as on it? 

No matter how much hurling and football is played in 12 months it's always 4 familiar names on 17th march
Fair play -  on paper it should be 2 cracking games
The football final has the potential of making us believe in the big ball game once more !!

Club is much more open than county

Teams from Carlow, Antrim, Roscommon and Wicklow have won the football

Teams from Antrim and Dublin have won the hurling

A side from Carlow never won the football All Ireland although Eire Og in the 90s was one of the best club sides never to win it.

John Fogarty from the Irish examiner tweeted this tonight.

St Mary's-UCD Sigerson Cup semi-final result could be in doubt: question of an illegitimate St Mary's player.

Any update on this? Have UCD objected?

John Fogarty tweeted a few hours ago

UCD now unlikely to object. St Mary's have stated it was a clerical error.

Full time in the 2nd semi final. UCC 4-9 NUIG 1-15

St Mary's-UCD Sigerson Cup semi-final result could be in doubt: question of an illegitimate St Mary's player.

Full time Dr Crokes 0-18 Mullinalaghta 2-7. The top two sides fare off in the final. Mullinalaghta fairy tale over but what a fantastic season they had.

There were a number of live games streamed on youtube during the Sigerson but the actual semi-final today is only available on delayed coverage. Seems bizarre. Is it because it clashes with the club semi-finals?

The clash it think alright but i don't know why this semi final wasn't moved to Sunday like the other one?

0-7 to 0-3 the latest score.

Because UCD for player welfare reasons decided not to force Liam Silke to play twice in 24 hours.
It's quite a stance as he's been outstanding for them in Sigerson this year.

Didn't know that. Yes Silke was one of their stand out players and probably one of Corofins best players today also.

The underdogs hanging in there and almost scored a goal a few minutes ago. Mullinalaghta 2-6 Dr Crokes 0-16. 47 mins played.

FT St Marys 0-10 UCD 0-7. Some result for Marys against the Sigerson cup favorites.

Half time Dr. Crokes 0-11 Mullinalaghta 2-3. 14 man Crokes strong finish to the half to lead by 2.

A bit of shock half time score in the first of the two semi finals. St Marys 0-7 UCD 0-0

Wtf is going on there, strong wind?

Apparently so and UCD have lost a few players to black cards.
