Connacht Club Championships 2016

[GalwayBayBoy]

Better last 10 minutes anyway once the ref stopped blowing his whistle every 5 seconds.

[Cunny Funt]

Game improved last five mins. Castlebar have to be the happier of the two sides going into extra time.

[Captain Obvious]

Hope there isn't extra time. I don t think I could suffer more of this. Awful crap sport when played like this.

Few good games at senior club or county nowadays, modern football for you.

[galwayman]

I dunno I think there's still a lot of good games at club level.
Less so county

It'd be one thing if I had an interest in either side playing, but am fed up with these two and Brigid's perennially being in the Connacht club. The wonderful novelty that the club championships often provide isn't happening out west at the minute, it's as predictable as the inter county scene.

[moysider]

Corofin more likely. They do fewer stupid things and far more patient and economical. Castlebar far too rash in defence and in possession.

[moysider]

The last free Castlebar gave up and butchering that goal chance after sums up Castlebar today for me.

In fairness this Castlebar side only "arrived" in 2013 when they won their first senior county and provincial titles for years and years.

[galwayman]

Corofin not putting them away though.
Some bad option taking in the red zone.

[GalwayBayBoy]

That was an awful soft free to bring it back to 2.

[An Fhairche Abu]

The ref has been the outstanding player for Mitchels here

Looks like they're going away.

What Brigids and Corofin have done, country clubs that have stayed at the top of the provincial for a decade or so, is incredible. The turnover of players in that period is what makes it special, there's only a few survivors of the 2006 Connacht final between the sides. Mitchels have so many advantages they're not really in the same conversation as the other two.

Hell of a game in store in Carrick in two weeks.

[Cunny Funt]

No question the better side won that game and its hard to see Corofin beaten in the final. Castlebar are a team with a lack of point scorers from play they rely on goals and when they fail to score any they rarely win.

[moysider]

Very tame exit from Mitchels. It's been a long couple of years for Castlebar and they looked flat and even disinterested. Might explain dreadful decision making a lot of the time.

It's not like either are tiny wee half-parish clubs though.
