Maybe they could send the old roof up to Casement

Had it's final match last Saturday with the Intermediate Connacht final. Tuam "hayshed" stand getting a upgrade this week.

Tuam is a lovely ground with such a fascinating football history when Mayo, Galway and Ros all won all Irelands. Tuam is really in the heartland of Galway football.

Junior Connacht final result Lahardane McHales 3-10 Owenmore Gaels 1-12

Corofin over rated. Greatest ever club team years ago but Brigids well set up to stop them. Bit like cross a few weeks ago.. football has changed

[Blowitupref]

Half time St Brigids 1-6 Corofin 1-2. Brigids much the better side in that half. Real lifeline and possible turning point with that Corofin goal with the last action of the half.

Very harsh man.
Anyone can have an off day.  He's some footballer.
