Connacht Senior Football Club Championship 2012

[ross4life]

Hard to look beyond Glencar in Leitrim.

Have a slight fancy for Mevlin Gaels they walked their semi final while Glencar were lucky to beat St. Mary's. The form of Emlyn Mulligan could be the difference between the sides.

They might be without Andy Moran,O'Connor but Ballintubber,Ballaghadereen march on to the Mayo final. Curry are Sligo champs after beating St Mary's 1-16 to 1-10 & last but not least my tip for Mervin Gaels was right as beat Glencar/Manorhamilton by 6pts

An all-Ros Connacht final on the cards?

Curry will be hard to stop lads. Play a great brand of attacking football

The Galway,Roscommon senior finals on tomorrow,Gary Cox is part of Salthill/Knocknacarra team so a Roscommon interest in both finals. I'm going to stick with the favourites Tuam,St. Brigids.

Wasn't great but a tightly contested Roscommon final, a late Frankie Dolan goal put a end to the spirited Pearses fightback on a scoreline of 2-8 to 0-9 Pearses has the makings of a fine team & should win a Roscommon title within the next few years. Next up for Brigids is Mervin Gaels at home in two weeks.

Well done to Gary Cox on winning a Galway senior title with Salthill-Knocknacarra, worth noting the last time they won the Galway title they went on to win Connacht beating St Brigids in the final.

I thought Gary had retired 
As for our final - poor enough but Brigid's just have more than enough as usual.
Will need to up it to retain Connacht though.
I bet they're glad Frankie was back .
Good Minor game ended level.

Retired from inter county level less pain in his ankle with less training i guess. Minor final was a good game Enda Smith scored a superb late goal & Diarmuid McGann stood out with 1-6 he should be part of Roscommon's minor team next year. (we could have done with him this year aswell)

[Rossfan]

Pity the minor set up couldn't be organised that the Club Championships be played and completed before the Inter County.
That way lads who show up best in the Club competition would get on the County team on merit rather than from meaningless trials in mid Winter
There's no reason at all to be putting Minor on with Senior in Inter County.

Thought Shane Filan for Strokestown had an impressive day as well, if not for a strong wind dropping a few shots short he'd have even more. Has to be in the mix at minor next season.

I've put together analysis of the Galway final here for anyone interested http://action81.com/blog/?p=6316

Not a great Galway county final yesterday although conditions were dreadful. First half was not bad but second half was a real slog in a deluge of rain. Salthill were just too big and physical for the Stars who probably needed a dry track to have a chance.

The other two times that Salthill won the county title they went all the way to the All-Ireland final but not sure the current bunch will be able to match that.

Hmmmmm. Mayo football at a low ebb. Where did it all go wrong?

Ballina Stephenites on the verge of relegation etc.

Our county final live on TG4.  At least that is something.
