Result Corofin 1-11 Moycullen 1-9 looks closer than it was, Moycullen scored 1-1 late on but too little too late. Liam Silke named MOTM now that he's back he'll be a big addition to Galway seniors. Moycullen chances today wasn't helped without Sean Kelly who was out due to injury.

None of the county 2022 senior county winners in Galway,Sligo,Roscommon,leitrim and Mayo was able to retain their titles which shows how competitive things currently are in Connacht club football.

Fair play to Corofin.
This current team isn't at the level of the 3 in a row crew though I think. Not sure they would be able for Kilmacud.
I honestly think the Ballina game will be 50-50.
Liam Silke showed today what a loss he was to us last year at county level.

Before 1998 no Connacht team had won the club all Ireland . I remember the mí ádh of Clann na nGael in the 80s. It was a glass ceiling but once Corofin broke the ice there was no stopping them. The first 3 senior teams on the list all won the ultimate club prize. Connacht abú.

Good win for Brigids against a very disappointing Coolera Strandhill. Brian Stack will be a big loss for St Brigids if he's out. Looked a serious injury but he limped off without a stretcher, hopefully a good sign. Hopefully Rory Fallon and Sean Trundle make quick recovery too.

22 minutes played Corofin 0-8 Ballina 0-1.  The tribesmen good value for that lead. Ballina won the toss and chose to play against the wind in this 1st half.

I read during the week that Tuam wasn't an option for this one.
Something to do with capacity restrictions (dunno why as these games aren't going to draw huge crowds in these conditions).
Stand is being redeveloped after the intermediate game tomorrow.
Corofin generally choose Tuam for their Connacht club games - they would prefer to play there.
Comfortable enough win in the end

Tuam is a lovely ground with such a fascinating football history when Mayo, Galway and Ros all won all Irelands. Tuam is really in the heartland of Galway football.

Back to back Connacht Junior hurling titles for Easkey.  Ballinasloe 2-12 Easkey 1-18.
It''s funny to see the English word intermediate. It's always pronounced inthermeejit in Galway.

Corofin over rated. Greatest ever club team years ago but Brigids well set up to stop them. Bit like cross a few weeks ago.. football has changed

Half time St Brigids 1-6 Corofin 1-2. Brigids much the better side in that half. Real lifeline and possible turning point with that Corofin goal with the last action of the half.

"The hyde". St Brigids a good team who'll be hard beat and corofin not the team of old.

I wouldn't be too harsh on Gary sice after the last few years that poor fella has had.

I'd happily take an opportunity to give a dig at Galway teams, but I wouldn't say a word against Gary Sice today. To be still playing at his age and after all he's been through deserves nothing but respect.
Brigids were very good, O'Carroll is a top forward, Stack was outstanding, they look very hungry, hopefully they go another couple of steps.

Old cement benches in Dr Hyde park has been dug up and to be replaced by new seats. Long overdue work should look good when it's done.

Brigids deserving winners got off to flying start 1-2 to no score and were in control for the rest of the game. Goals was just keeping Corofin in it 14 scores to 7 shows the type of game it was.

As for Gary Síce he had 5 scoring opportunities today scoring 2 points. How many 39 year olds are top scorers for their senior clubs around the country? And had to go through the heartbreak of losing his wife at such a young age.

Great performance and win by Brigids.
As for Gary Sice he's the latest in a line of players who've had an off day his year when marked by Brian Stack!

Serious performance and victory for Brigids. They won't fear Dingle or Castlehaven so are in a strong position.
Jerome Stack has done a serious job there. Interestingly he coached Castlehaven a few years back and he would know Dingle well also I'm sure. Which gives Brigids another advantage.

Ben O'Carroll has the potential to be a top notch forward over next few years.

Eoin Sheehy unused sub today would be another one. I think McInerney is a doctor now and doesn't seem to have the time to play much football anymore.

You must have high standards but scoring 2-12 in 3 all Ireland finals and winning them isn't a bad record for Sice in the last 5 years.

6 years... 0-8 from frees. He missed them yesterday hence my point. He should have been taken off. Regardless of his past glory, his own life, you take each game in its merit and omit emotion
