Connacht SFC Q/Final London v Mayo 29.5.11 in Ruislip

[Sligopatriot]

This will be a very close game in my opinion. Mayo much like Sligo will have big heads going into the game. Both sets of players have inflated opinions of their talents. While its very competitive, teams in Connacht are very poor and all teams are on a similar level. With that in mind I think London will win this by one.

Mayo should be more than capable of skating by London using the second 15,provided of course that they do not think they just need to turn up and even then they should be far too strong. Mayo by 10 points or I"ll buy jedwards new album.

People said much the same about Leitrim last weekend. Connacht while poor is very unpredictable and who knows what will happen until the final whistle.

[Tatler Jack]

Id say even if there is a problem with travel Mayo will find 15 or so Mayo fellows over in England capable of winning this one handy enough!! No comparison with last Sunday - Leitrim are a cut above London. Mayo by at least 10 and maybe a lot more if the London lads lose interest.

London's tactics these days are to keep the score down so the Mayo folks have no worries ahead of this exhibition game.

Mayo team due to be picked tonight. I've heard one or two surprises but won't say until I hear the full team.

Anthony Hennigan in the 'Western' is speculating on a selection based on an a v b match at the weekend. It looked something like this. Hennelly, Cuniffe, Feeney, Geraghty, Feeney, Vaughan, Keegan, O Sé, Kilcullen, Campbell, Dillon, Moran, Doherty, Freeman, Howley. we ll see how close that is?

We know about the injuries to a few. If that is the team there is little surprising apart from the absense of Kevin McLoughlin. Mark Ronaldson and Cathal Freeman took part in this match also. Great to see the panel flexible like this, compared to the crap we had. It has to be anyway with the rate of attrition with injuries.

You must be joking about Doherty, drop him? For what, lack of scoring threat? It's not like we have another like him.

Not a bad team although there are a few eyebrow raisers.

I heard that Jason Gibbons played himself onto it in the past couple of weeks. O Shea might be unlucky not to be starting in the half forward line. A stronger line might be Dillon, AOS, Moran with AOS floating around the middle for kickouts and Moran and Dillon attacking the wings.

Im not sure has Vaughan done much to be starting, let alone be playing centre back after being so long out but we will soon find out. I guess they wont risk Cafferkey, there any longer. Howley will play the sweeping role which suits him down to the ground.

Barrett has it all to do to keep McGloughlin off the team so he is playing to keep his place.


Who exactly is injured?

Who exactly is injured?

According to WJ over at Green and Red; McGarrity, Higgins and S O'Sé.

Have to say I think they team isn't bad at all given the players that are out. I like the 2 Feeneys in there and Cunniffe at CB. McLoughlin could consider himself unlucky against Barrett and A O'Sé would be in with a shout around midfield - although I suspect we'll see him at some stage.

Judging by subs bench below is Douglas also still out? And is Ronaldson really back on the panel no sign of him on the bench?

Subs Bench:
16) David Clarke - Ballina Stephenites
17) Dermot Geraghty - Shrule-Glencorrib
18) Peadar Gardiner - Crossmolina
19) Aidan O'Shea - Breaffy
20) Eoghan O'Reilly - Castlebar Mitchels
21) Lee Keegan - Westport
22) Trevor Mortimer - Shrule-Glencorrib
23) Kevin McLoughlin - Knockmore
24) Cillian O'Connor - Ballintubber
25) James Burke - Ballymun Kickhams
26) Enda Varley - Garrymore

I think the panel is down to 30-31 players travelling with only 26 allowed to be named on the program for Championship. I dont know anything about Ronaldson or Douglas but Rochford and Dolan might be gone. Im just going on rumours though.
