Listening to the match and the lads on MWR were equally bemused by the penalty decision. Ah well

Ballina down to 14 men (David O'Mahony) , David Brady sounds to badly injured

2-6 ; 0-9

2-8 ; 0-9

Liam Brady kicking some vital frees, c'mon the Stephenites

8 minutes left - Frankie Dolan point reduces it to 4 points gap

McGarrity got MoM. I think though it is Clarke and the FB line that have won this for Ballina. Brigids had as many chnces but Stephenites showed their experience at vital times.

3 points in it - minutes of normal time left

Tatler Jack · November 25, 2007, 03:21:11 PM

2 pts now and 4 mins injury time. The missed frees in teh first half will haunt Brigids

O'Carrol hits cross bar when he should have scored. Just not Brigids day

Brigids just hit the bar

stephenite · November 25, 2007, 03:24:20 PM

Brigids hit the crossbar - 4 minutes into injury time, herself has come out from bed and asked me to stop shouting at the computer

David Brady is doing some play acting. No need for it

Brigid's hit bar with a shot that would have won it for them at the death.

LOL @ David Brady. Just did a Rivaldo. Brigid's player tries to punch ball from his hands and he goes down clutching his face.

Brigid's did a bit of a Killererin on it. Conceded some soft early goals and never really recovered from them.

Injury time in a Connacht final? Two points in it - course there's a need for it

Done and dusted - fantastic result and sounded like a dinger to watch. Congrats to all involved.

Up for work in 4 hours

Experince and possibly home venue they key and Brigids lost shape at a vital time in the second half Still think they were unlucky to lose as overall they looked the better footballing side but missed some vital chances. Clarkes two saves were the difference - Cake was a big loss for Brigids.

David Brady's a diving bollocks.
