EOH managing Tourlestrane now, seems to be doing better than he did with Ballagh. Would they have been amongst the favourites at the start of the year?

Yes, tourlestrane are always among the favourites. Well done to EOH and Gerry Mcgowan on a demolition job on a very good Mary's team. No repeat champs in sligo since the 1980's.
Congrats also to Molaise gaels on the intermediate championship, they could be hard beaten in Connacht.
Ramor United are the 1st GAA club I've heard of that has United as part of their name, are there any others? Plenty of Rangers around the country, and I thing the odd Rovers.
Laois are in a bad way with Portlaoise's dominance, cannot be healthy. Kildare are not too far behind with the Newbridge teams but at least they are pushing standards up with their competition.

Hope he's using different tactics than he did in Ballagh when he famously asked the referee in a champonship game if there was anything preventing all his team lining up in their own half after the halftime break.

The snobbery of Mayo heads about a Sligoman taking over a
Roscommon Mayo team is telling.
Good win for O'Hara and Gerry, were fancied to win by many but still got it done with some ease, probably unlikely to make it too far in Connacht but they could be facing a weary Mayo side come the 30th.
Assuming He doesn't pull the required strings...Molaise Gaels won the intermediate handily as they ought to have, pretty emphatic about it too, outscored Geevagh 16-1 in the second half! They should end up in a final if they keep focused but (probably) Sean O'Heslin's would be tricky opposition all the same.

That's if there is a Mayo champion at that stage OMS. I have a sneaky feeling that there will, played the night before in MacHale Park.

Watchin TV and looking out for the English.and throw in the odd goat fair and salmon festival.
Same last year.Stradbally won the county title last year and were forced to play the Munster QF the next day against Nemo in their pyjamas while most carped on about the Munster delay being the annual club/region boll#x of Kerry.
Aherlow beat Drom 1-15 to 1-7 tonight.
Tipp 1/4 finals are
Commercial v Arravale
Kilsheelan v Ballyporeen
Loughmore v Galtee
Moyle rovers v Aherlow
Loughmore might be dangerous, given they are out of the hurling.
Mayo update: After today's final group games Breaffy, Ballintubber, Castlebar, Knockmore, Aghamore, Garrymore, Crossmolina and Ballaghaderreen are in the quarters.

Tinge of jealousy or regret maybe?. Boden could and maybe even should have been beaten twice or 3 times last year but they weren't and they won the whole thing. On each occasion they stuck at it and played the games out to the finish. Good luck to them. Such is the strength of Dublin football I think they were 4th or 5th favorites for the Dublin championship on 18th March - a day after they won the AI.
Yesterday was no real surprise - be interesting now to see who wins it. For me its hard to call between Vincents, Ballymun and crokes

Hopefully TwoMileHouse get the better of them but they are solid throughout and have some decent defenders so should scrape through. Chris Healy has the ability to win it on his own for TMH though so Towers need to stop the supply into him.

They beat everyone they had to beat and their all-Ireland was won the same way as any other year, by beating anyone who stood in their way. You're entitled to your opinion, but in my eyes there are no poor champions, just champions. And it's great to see first time winners too. Hopefully we will see it again next March.

The hurling I think. The football is going to be run off in a matter of days apparently.

Commercials were very comfortable against a disappointing Rovers , can easily up another gear and have a serious bench . Ballyporeen overdependent on Conor Sweeney who got nearly all their scores ! Kilsheelan have some decent players but missing some too through injury , if the rest of the Ballyporeen Forwards had a bit more composure they could have won it . Loughmore were 16 points up at half time , they are the only Team left that can put it up to Commercials !
Senior football is so overrated.
St Vincents are Junior B champions of Meath! Hon the Vinnie's!
Tyrone and Antrim county finals £10. Armagh final £13. Why?

Tyrone and Antrim county finals £10. Armagh final £13. Why?
Because in Armagh it's a rare occasion for someone other than Crossmaglen to win a title. There will be a huge crowd. So county Board see it as an opportunity to make hay?
Tyrone Final is reduced price due to number of replays in championship. Pitch inspections needed all over

Junior championship final AND senior final double header? Might have something to do with it
Tyrone replay postponed.
Armagh final was still going to be £13 with or without Cross/Junior replay.

Yesterday Maghery showed that commitment and fluency rather than individual brilliance can prove a cocktail for success.
In front of 6,390 fans, they put decades of frustration behind them to come up trumps and in the process several players gave watching orchard county team boss Kieran McKeever a nudge that their credentials might be worth considering when he comes to naming his 2017 panel.
Updates after a very busy day yesterday.
Leinster:
Louth - Sean O'Mahony's are champions

First time I'd watched Maghery in the flesh for over a year, looked like a totally different team, they used to be very hard on the eye imo, always overly defensive but Shane McConville seems to have added a new dimension, couple of the younger lads coming through really look top drawer as well. Armagh now have 4 good solid Senior Club sides in Cross, Maghery, Cullyhanna & Harps. Crossmaglen's years of cakewalking the County Championship are hopefully at an end, can only be good for the County as well.

Who beat the AI champions, Dublin a highly competitive championship. You'd expect Vincents or Ballymun, who are in the other quarter finals tonight, to win it though.
It was only a few years ago Castleknock were playing Junior football.
Correct. That's when Jack O'Shea got grief for calling Ciaran Kilkenny a Junior Footballer, when technically he was a Junior Footballer.

I would fancy Sarsfields to go well in the Leinster Club should reach the final but like the Inter County Championship one County is starting to dominate the club landscape as well - 7/9 it's like something happened in the last few years. Must be all those additional volunteers or something..
Killyclogher absolutely hammered Coalisland this evening in Tyrone'stars senior replay. Final score was 0-20 to 0-06 with Mark Bradley having a stormer.

The cynicism and thuggery on display was disgusting and a blight on the game, thankfully Coalisland and Killyclogher played a cracking game of football in the right manner when they got the live billing a few weeks back.
Jesus lads give it a rest. Every thread is a 'oh if it was tyrone'. Getting tiresome. Bomber you obviously weren't at the replay.

Seen Commercials beat Arravale handy last week and thought they had a lot more in them , that said I fancied Loughmore to give it a good go today . Delighted they are out , with all the underage success they have had in recent years I fear they might end up doing a Crossmaglen which is not going to be good for the County side !

Definite red. Seems to be no offence in hurling that gets a red these days.
Is it not a red for interfering with the helmet too? He ripped it straight off the man too. Was it not podge Collins that got a red for that a few years ago?
Hurley Refs! ;D ::)
Castlebar and Knockmore contest the Mayo SFC final next Saturday under lights at 7pm in MacHale Park.
Knockmore in with a good shout here. Very impressive today and if they were more clinical would have won with a good bit to spare. They should be going for those goal chances though. Two good chances fell today to lads well capable of hitting the net and only got 1 point from the 2.

Lomans will be strong assuming they come through Westmeath and Leinster 1/4 final. Sarsfields are a good young team too but probably a bit short on really top quality players, I'd expect them to make the Leinster final and be competitive.

I was at it. Huge crowd, but very little athmosphere. Big portion of the crowd were non-Dubs. Connolly was excellent. All his points were difficult kicks, and the first one was outrageous, one of the best scores I've ever witnessed. The red card was a big factor, and Whelan was moving well. But Davey Byrne's black card was maybe a bigger factor. Both were correct decisions from the ref, who I thought was very good. Ballymun missed two goal chances early on too.
Vincent's will be favourites for any game they play, but I think on a given day either Jude's or Loman's could beat them (should they meet them). But, they probably will win Leinster.
It was far from the Diarmuid Connolly show as for most of the game he was nowhere to be seen, especially in the first half. He kicked three great far out points going into the final 15 mins which showed the man's class.
I thought it lacked intensity to be honest between these two big rivals although there was the odd bit of niggle here and there. No atmosphere as Shark just said.
Did anyone see the punches being thrown over near the sideline in the 2nd half? I was amazed the ref didn't award more red cards for that as some of his cards seemed very soft.

Yep the Vinnies number 5 tried to hold onto the ball after it going over the line and the Ballymun lads tried to wrestle it back of him and in the process nearly threw him on top of us!! A few digs thrown alright and if the Ref was being consistent with his earlier beahviour in throwing out cards more lads would have got gate

Did Smyth come on Shark? I know Varley did alright. Judes have a huge task to get through tonight, missing two key players from their diamond and if they do get through one of them will be out for the final. Should be another tight game tonight regardless.

No he didn't see any gametime. Has been struggling with an achilles injury, but I'm not so sure he's settled in there all that well. He'd probably be playing in a Westmeath county final this weekend if he'd stayed where he was.
Varley did quite well on a limited amount of ball.
I think Indiana commented on here at the start of the year that the transfers didn't go down well with many in St.Vincent's. Breathnach didn't come on either.

Vincent's will be favourites for any game they play, but I think on a given day either Jude's or Loman's could beat them (should they meet them). But, they probably will win Leinster.
Did Smyth come on Shark? I know Varley did alright. Judes have a huge task to get through tonight, missing two key players from their diamond and if they do get through one of them will be out for the final. Should be another tight game tonight regardless.
No he didn't see any gametime. Has been struggling with an achilles injury, but I'm not so sure he's settled in there all that well. He'd probably be playing in a Westmeath county final this weekend if he'd stayed where he was.
Varley did quite well on a limited amount of ball.
I think Indiana commented on here at the start of the year that the transfers didn't go down well with many in St.Vincent's. Breathnach didn't come on either.
Yeah, it is certainly changed times there, Fennell seems to have opened the floodgates. To be fair it is the same in every club in Dublin now though.
Castleknock beat St Judes in other semi final tonight. 0-11 to 1-4. Poor game with both sides playing blanket defences. No coincidence that the county players all looked shattered playing over ast few nights. 10 months on the go now. Final is sat week

Hardly surprising they're bucked, they've had to cook their own meals these last few weeks!

Some rise by Castleknock from junior football a few years ago to now a senior final. 9 of their 11 scores apparently came from the boot of Dessie Carlos a non county footballer from Roscommon. 1-4 a poor return from St Judes.
Some highlights from Vincent's v Ballymun

He had a stormer. On the opposite end of the aesthetic scale to Connolly but worked up and down like a demon. Castleknock worked to their strengths and kept the ball moving and away from the bigger bodies of Judes. Very negative game, Castleknock had the full 15 inside their 45 at times, Judes needed to push up more when the game was getting away from them. Ref absolutely rode Judes in the second half after being very even in the first. You'd expect Vincents with their greater scoring threat to coast to the title now.
Castlebar beat Knockmore 3-13 to 0-10 in the Mayo county final last night.
Loughmore won the Tipp SFC . Loughmore 1-9 Moyle Rovers 1-6 . Rovers missed handy early chances and could have taken the game by the scruff of the neck . They lead briefly coming up to half time when they scored a well worked goal but Loughmore tore down the field straight away and scored one themselves and were well in control from then on despite the closeness of the score in the end ! Was disappointed with Rovers forwards Diarmuid Foley and Liam Boland in particular . They had an of day today , I would however like to see them called into the County Panel and see how they shape up as they have scored plenty in the Championship up to today .
Meath Final:
Simonstown 1-14
Donaghmore-Ashbourne 0-8
Off topic completely but would Castlenock not update their jersey design sometime, I find it strange for a club to stick to 2000 O'Neill's template as their standard design.
