2015 Connacht Senior Championship.

[Shrewdness]

Where will the Galway/Leitrim match be played, Salthill or Carrick? Assuming that Galway win that game, they will have an advantage over Mayo in the semi final, from having had two championship games to fine tune everything, whereas Mayo will be coming in after just a few challenge games. Some people very impressed it seems, by Galway performance in New York. Galway's true worth as a team will be measured in Salthill in June, unless Leitrim have anything to say about it.

Carrick.

Anyone impressed by how anyone plays against New York needs to be committed to the loony bin.

Question for Seafoid or any of the other Galway lads. How many different goalkeepers have Galway used so far this year? It seems to change very often....They have named a strong team there with also plenty of talent on the bench. Nobody should dismiss their chances in Connacht this year.

That would be 4 Shrewdness, Magnus Breathnach, Brian O'Donoghue, Tom Healy and TJ Forde. Realistically its between Breathnach and Healy I think, Breathnach would probably be starting against NY but picked up a hand injury which required surgery so that ruled him out for this game.

GK is a problem area for Galway. Forwards less so.

100% it has no relevance at all for future games.
Leitrim beat NY by 24 points two years ago sure before succumbing to London subsequently.
It's all about getting the win and not picking up injuries.
We have the makings of a decent front 8 but from 1-7 we are nowhere near good enough unfortunately.

And then there were 6 left in a five county province.

What dates are the other games.

London v Ros ? Leitrim v Galway? Sligo v lon/Ros ?

That's my worry too Shrewdness. And to top it all off, the Mayo players have one competitive club game in the run-up to the Galway game between now and then. I know there's risks of injuries, but there's taking the biscuit as well.

That's a great song, really catchy , listened to it twice . Hope ye have booked the city west for sept .

[Shrewdness]

There will be a full programme of Club Championship action in Roscommon next weekend, just 2 weeks before the London match in Ruislip. No doubt. John Evans will be dreading the sound of the phone all weekend, in case it's news of injuries.

Betting for the 2015 Connacht senior championship has been the liveliest by far .

Mayo starting at 8/13 when the odds first came out , went 8/11, 5/6 and are now into evens . Of course most of us know why this is and it has nothing to do with league form . If they don't sort out the infighting soon it could become very public what is going on and it is going to be embarrassing .

My genuine advice is to lump on laying Mayo , we do not have a hope of retaining Nestor at this stage bar some sort of a miracle from Knock type thing.

A lot of rumours about infighting in the Mayo camp, but nobody prepared to put any flesh on the bones and give even one example of what the problem. So it's safer to take these rumours with a pinch of salt, and assume that Mayo are a united unit in the drive for five.
