Connacht senior football championship 2025

[galwayman]

Ros made Galway favourites for the AI in 2012 by an inept display, lack of game plan, lack of fitness etc.
We did the same last Sunday.

Was at that game in 2012.Conroy played full forward that day from memory.
We were far from All Ireland favourites after it though. We weren't at that level at the time.

Post 2008 for a decade was a bad time for Galway football.

Good portion of the covered stand are season ticket holders.

Be interesting to see what sort of challenge Mayo bring to Machale park on Sunday. The Connacht Final was decided on fine margins last year in Salthill and the odds on Mayo to win this time means they need no extra motivation.

I am afraid odds are one thing, reality of having a very unsettled line out and a potentially weaker squad at the moment is a totally different kettle of fish.
I am heading to it, but I am very concerned it could be 6pts or more loss. I am hoping I will be so wrong on this call.
If Joyce decides not to risk Walsh and Comer, then that equals things up considerably.

Even if they start I can't imagine Comer, Walsh will be up to speed after their injury lay off.

If McStay and his management gets the team to break even on kick-outs and get match ups right it should be another fine margin contest.

During the league there were glimpses of what I thought was steady improvement for what we might bring to championship (2nd half Armagh, most of the Kerry game ) but I'm afraid it's just been wishful thinking , two games in and we've shown nothing to resemble a plan/tactic to match Galway . It is with hope rather than expectation one will travel to this one with and a niggling fear it could be a thumping , we simply don't have the quality Galway do at the moment . Only hope is we can develop some of our exciting 20s players in the next window of players coming through , 2027 we could have a team to compete again .

In saying all that it's a poor mayo man that won't raise his game at the sight of the maroon jersey in castlebar giving it all their notions of grandeur.

Ye're in the perfect place for an ambush.
Only thing is Galway probably gone past being ambushed these days.

No Comer or Shane Walsh named on the Galway 26 for this Sunday's Connacht final. Peter Cooke back and among the subs.

Hard to win any championship game without your two best forwards. Especially a local derby. Although it shows the hard work that's been put into the squad in recent years that it still looks a strong squad even without them. But that's some serious quality that will be missing.

[galwayman]

It's never easy to beat Mayo at the best of times.
Harder again without your two best forwards.
In a tight game we could struggle to get enough scores without the two lads.
Hope I'm wrong but I have a bad feeling about this one.

[Wildweasel74]

Small enough Galway forward line lol.

13 of that Galway published team started in last years All Ireland final.  Sean Kelly and Matt Thompson in for Comer, Walsh.  Had Galway someone other than a half fit Shane Walsh was on frees that day Galway could well be defending All Ireland champions right now.

True but Comer nearly beat Mayo by himself in last year's Connacht final. Walsh nearly beat Mayo by himself in this year's league. Those lads are difference makers when they are fit and available. Which is increasingly rare unfortunately.
