All Ireland Club Championships 2024

[Silver hill]

Another Ulster sweep on the way?...

Fair play Errigal. Thought they were fairly disciplined throughout and, yes, a good few decisions didn't go their way but that happens sometimes and they didn't let it knock their focus. Radio Kerry were anticipating a UFC team coming down from the North. I love those guys.

EC are a slick outfit. Solid at the back, powerful midfield, and Harte and the Canavans in the forward unit. Should be a brilliant final

Sorry, would strongly disagree with that. Harte was anonymous again yesterday. Goes awol for long periods and really should be offering his club more at that level.
The two Canavans were exceptional yesterday, precocious talent, they are the errigal forward line. Best thing the other 4 can do is stay out of their way!

What were your thoughts on the Ulster final out of interest? Canavans barely got a sniff and the others were capable of standing up. It's definitely not just the Canavans

Kilcoo did well to limit the two boys but I think Dara still managed to have a hand in 1-1 out of a final tally of 1-8 was it? Have seen errigal a couple of times in Tyrone and then a few more in Ulster and my opinion is still unchanged, Petey Harte doesn't do anywhere near enough for them. I think they are confused about his best position and where exactly to play him. He's due a big one, maybe saving it for Croke Park!

Errigal Ciaran scorers: Joe Oguz 1-0, Thomas Canavan 0-3 (0-3f), Peter Og McCartan 0-2, Darragh Canavan 0-1, Ciaran Quinn 0-1, Peter Harte 0-1.

Tommy C 3 point from frees, rest of the scores from, corner,half back and mid field, apart from 1 from Peter Harte.

1-13 out of 2-18 from the 2 boys is also an unreal return from just 2 players. Cuala will believe that if they curtail the Canavans they've a great chance. Easier said than done though.

Pete Harte is calmness personified on the ball, might not be haring around like a young one but plenty goes through him, finds his moments to support defence and link the middle third to attack, has played nearly every position now for Errigal and Tyrone in big championship games, I don't think anyone knows his best position any more than they ever did, it's probably been different over the years depending on his aerobic capacity and what the various teams needed from him, capable of a score and a big moment too, was his crossfield ball that set the move for the equalising score going, would be some cherry on top of a glittering career to bag this next Sunday

He might not be there in the final third as much as people have come to expect but I'd say this has been his best year in terms of the defensive side. The amount of turnovers he's won this year and intensity in the tackle is something that was probably missing for a few years. Still able to pick out the right option as we seen against Killyclogher with the last point, last 10 minutes of Eunans game he also stood up and yesterday kept his head and played it to McCartan. Still due a big performance but he's done his part

Is there any refixed date for the Crossmolina v Ballinderry game? (Awful circumstances RIP)

You'd imagine they'll put it along with the Junior Final on the 25th.

We were hearing potentially Sunday 26th January, was talk of 25th but derry and mayo actually play their opening league games that evening so that may rule that out. There's also talk of this Saturday but I would personally feel that's far too soon for Crossmolina.

Because both teams get equal rest I don't think that will move

Lads a week off is plenty if their S&C has any focus on the C. That includes resting and managing it.
I think that in the GAA we over-egg this 2 games in a week when the managers had them training and slogging 5+ days a week for years.

It'll be a good game hopefully, but I fancy Cuala. V Naas the focus was on CON and his briother stepped up. Plus they have some great lads around half-back and half-forward that will fly on the good ground in Croker.

Not saying EC are slouches btw! Just there are some lads I would not have been familiar with who can really run. On the flip EC have two amazing talents that can destroy teams and Cuala only have 1 Mick Fitz to mind them.

Cuala's speed on the break was impressive against strandhill.

Even to enjoy the build up and stuff I think 2 weeks would be better, I know they've had a lot of big days out already but an All Ireland final is a different level of anticipation. Not the end of the world obviously.

2 very good sides at a similar level so should be a cracker of a final.

It was suppose to be a 2 week break. The semis were pushed back a week because of the weather.  .
