Mike O'Donoghue is an excellent footballer. He scored Kerry's two goals in the u21 final against Kildare down in Thurles a few years ago. I was surprised he wasn't involved in their senior setup this summer.

MacGearailt was playing in Cork for a few years. He must be back playing with An Ghaeltacht now. I'd say Páidí still regrets taking him off in that Munster Final when he was giving Ó hÁilpín a roasting.

I didn't realise that An Ghaeltacht had gone down to intermediate. Maybe blanketattack can explain Kerry's selection system. You seemed to indicate that ye didn't pick lads from senior clubs but ye have two lads from Spa starting and one captaining and Spa are a senior club aren't they? Funnily enough there are actually more senior clubs in Sligo (12) than Kerry (11) because of your club system. Most of your intermediate clubs would be strong enough for SFC in Sligo and that seems to be where most of your team is drawn from. I've no doubt this will be a very strong Kerry team.

Have to say im happy with that selection. Excited to see how mcinytyre gets on and glad to see Egan back in the Black & white. Good to see Eoin starting aswell as he was outstanding against harps. I seen McGoldrick in a cast a few weeks ago so he must of made miraclous recovery, but after his connacht final performance im glad hes back. Its a strong FB line aswell so I cant see that team being easily beat.

Best of luck again.

The Kerry No. 7 Brendan Guiney wasn't he the fella who Sean Boylan drafted into the International Rules panel a few years ago.

[jpw1984ciarrai]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that because the Spa lads were playing intermediate last year they can still play for the juniors this year but not next year. Was pretty sure it worked like that

[Onlooker]

According to Aertel Sligo won the All Ireland Junior Football beating Kerry by 2-10 to 1-7.  Well done to them and to Sligonian and their other supporters on this forum.  It may not be the most important title but it is nice to win it at the same time and beating Kerry in the final makes it that bit better.

Is that the Egan who played centre back for the seniors a few years ago? I thought he was outstanding but haven't heard of him in a while. Oh and congratulations on winning the All Ireland, the junior isn't an easy one to win.

Thats him. He's a good player. Ex DCU.

[ross4life]

Well Done Sligo a nice way to finish 2010 season, i wonder how long it will take Sligonian to put All Ireland Champions under his name 

[Shrewdness]

Congratulations to Sligo on winning the All Ireland Junior Title.

Some people (usually from the so called elitist counties) turn their noses up at even the mention of this competition.
I still remember the excitement in Roscommon when we beat Kerry in the 2000 Junior Final.

This title is the least that Sligo Gaa deserves this year, after the heartbreak of losing Connacht U-21 and Senior Finals.
They made a very positive contribution to the Gaa scene this year, and it's nice that they have something to put a smile on their faces.

It will be interesting to hear the views of Sligonian, Paddy, Seanie etc on how they think this win will be viewed in Sligo.
Will it be celebrated, or will it get a cool enough reception because of it's status in the greater scheme of things.

Anyway, well done Sligo.

[ross matt]

Delighted for Sligo. Important win. Positive note for Kevin Walsh to close out 2010.

[SLIGONIAN]

Just back, i think ross matt sums it up, it ends the season on a positive note, and as shrewdness says u21 and senior defeats still hurt deeply so much so i still cant bring myself to rewatch it but we mustnt live in the past and move on.

The junior title, its been beneficial to us as alot of lads in senior squad got games and showcase there talent. There is deadwood in the squad and there is clearly 4/5 lads on this that really havent got the chances they deserve this yr.

It was very good performance and we were comfortable most of the 2nd half and i'll go into in more detail tomorrow. I wont be celebrating it tonight for the record, tbh but i am happy no doubt.  Well done KW/selectors and all the players.

[Peter Solan the Great]

I must say say its a great little win for them. Well done Sligo.

[magpie seanie]

I'm very happy with the win. Its only our second All-Ireland ever and as was mentioned earlier beating Kerry in an All-Ireland final of any grade is not to be sniffed at (least of all by the previous poster). Ros won this in 2000 but more interestingly to me anyway, contested 3 of the last 4 finals before today. Its a decent level for bringing lads through and to my mind more relevant to senior championship that a NFL game in Feb or March. We've a few lads on this team that to be honest I wouldn't have rated as county material on their club form but they've shown enough at this level to be worth a further look. On top of that the return of Egan and addition of McIntyre are exciting propects for next year.

There won't be wild celebrations but its a good end to a season that promised a whole lot more.

the return of Egan

Was he injured or away?
