Connacht senior football championship 2017

[Syferus]

Sligo team named.

Aidan Devaney

Ross Donovan, Charlie Harrison, Eoin McHugh

Keelan Cawley, Brendan Egan, John Kelly

Cian Breheny, Adrian McIntyre

Neil Ewing, Mark Breheny, Kyle Cawley

Stephen Coen, Pat Hughes, Adrian Marren


In Donovan,Harrison,Egan,McIntyre,M Breheny,Marren Sligo should be enough experience in that team not to get caught cold and looking at that forward line they should have too much firepower for New York.

This is a very strong Sligo side. It wont be the team that starts IMO but close to it. I am concerned as the NY side is as strong as Ive seen it but i do think Sligo will squeeze through

You have a short memory ck.

What changes do you expect to the Sligo team? New York lacking scorers in their team this year. Darren Freeman,Luke Loughlin are gone back to Ireland and Brian Connor of Offaly who scored 3 or 4 points against Roscommon last May did his ACL recently.

I think Sligo will win comfortably but i am not sure which margin of victory is the best to place money on?


Sligo 1-3 pts
11/4

   
Sligo 4-6 pts

Sligo 7-9 pts

Sligo 10-12 pts
10/1

   
Sligo 13-15 pts

Sligo 16 pts or more
20/1

Blowitupref - have you seen much of Sligo recently? 4 of the 6 you name shouldn't be on the team any more if you ask me so I wouldn't be relying on them to pull us out of the fire.

Ewing has played at 6 all year and I'd say he'll start there. Patrick O'Connor must start if he's fit, probably not named to avoid debut hullabaloo in the media. Not sure who will partner McIntyre (is he over his injury) at midfield.....Cian, for all his good attacking attributes would be a big risk. Other options in short supply so maybe a risk worth taking. Not sure who'll drop out of the forwards if O'Connor comes in....MB or Marren for me....John Kelly will push up to HF line.

is that the same Ewing that cost Sligo the 2010 final by constantly fouling lads?

Mano - in my book Eoin Flanagan is a very good man marker and if the lads they have starting are better than him our forwards will struggle.

I wouldn't blame Ewing for that debacle but his tendency to give away a lot of frees has been curbed. He has matured into one of our better defenders with an outrageous appetite for work. Did well at 6 all League but was even better (in my opinion) as a defensive half back at 10 in previous years. He's a good lad.

This is an acid test of Trump's pledge to make America great again.If Sligo win,will Trump ban all Irish GAA county teams from entering the states in future.
