QuoteMitchels were a point ahead after 43 minutes        ....Whitey, you must know that Indiana is the resident expert on all things gaelic football around here so if he says the game was over after 2 min. then it was over and never let the facts get in the way of any thing he posts.Shur hasn't he won numerous all ireland medals  and is the only one on here to play in front of 80,000 people and his best mate is Diarmuid Connolly so he really should know.

My memory from being at the game was that Vins were always going to win it after Feeney got the line -it was the second half when they pulled away but they always looked to be that bit better than Castlebar - However having seen BBSE a couple of times this year I think Castlebar are probably slight favourites for Thursday

Hence my statement that they were still in with a shout at the 3/4 mark.(given that they were leading by a point at that stage of the game)

Fancy CM to win it. In fairness, I didn't fancy BBSE to make it this far at all and they have proved me wrong all along.

For some reason, the mantle of favouritism hangs heavy on the shoulders of Connacht teams in big games  but I think CM will win and easily enough in the end although will be hoping both city teams win on the day.

I know Barry Moran plays with Castlebar. What other county lads do they have?

Tom Cunniffe would be the only other regular...
Expect to see Patrick Durcan start in Mayo half back line for the foreseeable future...

Douglas and Kirby yet to get and sustained run in the county team....

Was he?

AFAIK 4 of the backs, 1 midfielder and 3 of the forwards have lined out for Mayo since James Horan began his reign.

Best of Luck to the Mitchels today. The buzz around Castlebar the last week has been amazing. There is more an expectation than hope that they will do it. Anyway hope the Red and Yellow ribbons are on Andy this evening.

I think the experience of losing in 2014 and coming back strongly against us will stand them in good stead. I think they are a better team than BBSE and will win it out.
