Connacht senior football championship 2025

[twohands!!!]

True but Comer nearly beat Mayo by himself in last year's Connacht final. Walsh nearly beat Mayo by himself in this year's league. Those lads are difference makers when they are fit and available. Which is increasingly rare unfortunately.

Both in their 30s with a lot of football played. REally only a matter of time before both depart the intercounty stage.

I think it says a lot about the strength of the Galway squad that despite neither being named in the 26, and especially where Mayo are at currently, that Galway are 4/9 favourites with PaddyPower at the moment.

Given all the injuries they've carried + Covid, they've been 'lightly raced' for a number of seasons now. Not so easy or quick to recover though as they get older.

Mayo have named the same team from the unconvincing win and performance against Leitrim so will probably be changes to the team come throw in.  Big boost to get Paddy Durcan back who did his ACL last year.

They're 8/15 on Boylesports who actually pay attention to GAA.

GAA markets betting wise are weak as piss, you could wreak havoc on them for a laugh with a few hundred euro. The amount of talk and media attention they receive is ridiculous. It's literally one lads opinion who is also doing 50 other jobs

8/15 with Paddy Power now also.

10 euro on Galway to win will win you €5.33.  The same money on Mayo if they win would be €20.00.   Usually close matches between the two and draw could collect winnings of €90.00

[LarryStiles]

Mayo a great bet at 7/2. Walsh will be a major loss for Galway. Will hope Paddy Neilan will be looking out Ryan O'Donoghue antics after the league final hit on Paul Geaney. Also prone to going easily to get handy frees.

[Blowitupref]

Galway start as selected. Mayo two changes Rory Brickenden,Diarmuid O'Connor coming in for Sam Callinan,Dylan Thornton.

Goal  for Mayo, OG?  1-2 to 0-2 after 7 minutes.

Same score after 15 minutes, Mayo much the better team so far.

Galway 0-7 Mayo 1-2
