HT Tourlestrane 1-05 Glencar/Manorhamilton 1-05 sounds like a good game. In the Intermediate championship Coolaney shipped a bad beating to Melvin Gaels today.

FT Tourlestrane 1-15 Glencar/Manorhamilton 2-07 & another draw in Galway championship today how many is that now?

[Mano]

Brilliant win for Tourlestrane. Couldn't make it down as the better half is due any day now, had to make do with the radio.
Our forwards were on fire today - we relied on Brian Egan a lot in the Sligo championship but we must have got 7/8 players on the scoreboard.

Sounds like we let in 2 sloppy goals - they will have to rectify that for the next day.
Brigids in the next game and thats a different proposition altogether.

Yet another draw in Galway to slow things down even more.

Salthill 1-5 Tuam Stars 0-8

Yep Galway are in danger again of not completing the championship on time. In fairness this time it was different than other years given all the various cases/objections etc taken out bu Mountbellew.

Galway champs due to play the Mayo champs in 3 weeks time. That means the semi replay has to be played next weekend and final the weekend after. Another draw in semi or final and it won't be completed in time.
Another complication is that Finian Hanley is due to fly to Oz with the Irish Compromise Rules team next week.

Do I recall Bernard Brogan missing out on the Compromise Rules in Oz a few years back due to his club still being involved in the Dublin championship?
Regardless I don't think any one of the 3 Galway clubs left will win Connacht.Corofin will probably win in the end but lose out in Connacht

Betting:

St Brigids evens
Corofin 9/4
Ballintubber 6/1
Castlebar 15/2
Salthill 11/1
Tourlestrane 12/1
Tuam Stars 20/1

Only two years ago more or less the same Corofin team hammered the Mayo Champions in the Connacht final & last year Killererin looked like they had Connacht title won only for a last minute goal by St. Brigid's

For me whoever beats the Galway Champions will win Connacht.

[ross4life]

Ballintubber back to back Mayo County champs but can they beat the Galway champions?

Ballintubber back to back Mayo County champs but can they beat the Galway champions?

Hopefully. They deserve the support of all Mayo people.

Salthill 0-9 Tuam Stars 1-8

The Stars in their first county final since 1995. Real local derby too against Corofin who beat them in 95.

[ross4life]

Low scoring games in Galway this year, so i take it the final will be next weekend.

[galwayman]

Yeah I think the final is next Sunday. Neither Tuam nor Corofin are any great shakes though I think myself

Corofin never seem overly impressive but they always tend to grind out wins regardless. Not sure how much life the current team has left in them though. They've been on the go a long while now.

[ross4life]

So as i expected Corofin win the Galway senior championship

Connacht semi finals next Sunday Nov 6th
Ballintubber v Corofin McHale park
Tourlestrane v St. Brigid's Markievicz Park

P.S well done to Padraig Pearses for progressing into the intermediate Connacht final today.
