Upper church have more energy so far but not much between them in ET

Did the Toureen defender throw his hurl as the forward strikes for goal?

[Deerstalker]

Maybe not the best skill but great drama
Some ball on yer man to knock that over from that distance
Over the black spot too

It was some dig but was moved about 10 metres forward, linesman tried to move them back and then just gave up - really poor officiating for such an important free.

Half time in extra time FT Upperchurch-Drombane 3-17 Tooreen 0-22. The 3rd goal right before the break could be key on.

Yeah. Did he get a yellow card?

True.

Just fantastic effort and drame to the end. Credit to both teams.

Upperchurch just that week bit of a stronger bench, as to be expected.

Pity semi-finals can't be played in CP instead of Parnell Park for example. Pitch in excellent condition. Quality surface in Jan.

I understand why not as there'd be about an extra 20 games on it, between senior, intermediate and junior etc. in Dec and Jan. Be sore on the surface.

Think it costs something like 30k to open Croke Park so unlikely the decision makers will elect to play semis there. Shouldn't be about cost though, I think it's brilliant to see club football and hurling there. Players and supporters will never forget it.

Two great games this evening
Serious effort from all 4 sides
Both Connacht teams slightly unlucky

[Hoof Hearted]

Aye felt sorry for the connacht teams
Especially as they aren't from hurling stronghold counties

[Milltown Row2]

Was enjoyable and dramatic

The faces of the clubmen and clubwomen in the crowd celebrating in the final whistle in both games is something else..

The heartache and pain in the suffering of the losing teams is so hard to take

Club is King!!

Mayo and Sligo have put in a massive shift to beat their Galway 'masters' these past few years and unfortunately have come up short

Ah Jesus lads. What games there.

I'm explaining to the wife, who is a scouser, just the lay of the land about how big these places are and the travelling the have to do for training.

I took her to Croke Park when I was lucky my home club won an intermediate all Ireland  final

Everything good about the GAA was out there today.

[NAG1]

2 massive games and credit to all four clubs, some exceptional players across the 2 games too, would grace any stage.

Easkey maybe be kicking themselves taking their two best forwards off when they thought the game was gone. Tough to take being on the wrong side of either of those games.

Only got to see parts of the Toureen/Upper Church game and thought it was evenly matched the whole way with the goals in extra time being the difference.

If Toureen come out of Mayo next year are they still intermediate in Connaught?

Other Teams in Galway have won Intermediate Connaught, Toreen themselves but not sure they then made the step up to senior, I could be wrong, different provinces do different things
