Do Kerry still operate the model that you must not be from a Senior Club, and also that you must not have played Junior County last year? I remember when they won it, I think in 2007(?) that the brother in law wasn't allowed play with them the next year.

Does the Sligo team include players from Senior clubs?

Of course. There are 24 clubs in Sligo, 12 of them are senior. As it happens there are a fair few players from non senior clubs on this panel though.

McGoldrick was on crutches at the weekend and his club mate McTiernan came off after 2 minutes of their championship game. Apparently he pulled his hammer at training last Thursday.

So essentially it's the Sligo 'B' team.
Anyone know what counties use 'B' teams and what counties use players from non-Senior clubs?

Kildare use the B team model, working quite well for us...

Galway were mainly 50% junior and 50% intermediate this year.

Usually not happy to go to Salthill but I'll take it here. Better than Ennis or Thurles like most thought it would be. Would imagine Kerry must be strong favourites for this one?

SLIGONIAN

The have Aodhan Macgearait who was fine footballer in his prime and im sure we'll have our work cut out with him. Could be Kevin Walshs last game for Sligo aswell, ironic that its in Galway.

Mike O'Donoghue is an excellent footballer. He scored Kerry's two goals in the u21 final against Kildare down in Thurles a few years ago. I was surprised he wasn't involved in their senior setup this summer.

MacGearailt was playing in Cork for a few years. He must be back playing with An Ghaeltacht now. I'd say Páidí still regrets taking him off in that Munster Final when he was giving Ó hÁilpín a roasting.
There's Seán Brady going in, what dya think Seán?

Shocked that Kerry didn't get a Munster venue for this... but a law of averages it was bound to happened  :P

We played Cork in Portloaise last year so Salthill should be less of a drive for ye
The key to success is to be consistently competitive -- if you bang on the door often it will open

Mark Quinn St Molaise Gaels man will be captain if he comes through the Harps game unscathed fingers crossed, Sligos one and only All Ireland is 1935 Junior title.

Wouldnt say there'll be a big crowd as Kerry will bring probably just family members, it would be nice to see a couple of hundred from Sligo but doubtful. Was disappointed with the club contingent the last day but cavan as a venue may have been to painful to revisit a week later.

Backboned by Coolera men (4 on the team) and captained by one. Would be a nice way to mark the 75th anniversary (cos I'd guess there'll be nothing else done this late in the year).

Best wishes to our only nice neighbours as they try to win their second ever All Ireland against Kerry trying to win their SEVENTY SECOND !!!
Hope the Sligos can do the business.
Play the game and play it fairly
Play the game like Dermot Earley.

SLIGONIAN

Unfortunetly Mark Quinn did not come through the harps game unscathed and is out of the final but Eoin McHugh has been drafted in, hopefully mcintyre and egan will tog out aswell. This game for me wont make or break our season but will be happy to take the cup. Im one of the few who think this has been a year of unachivement and missed opportunity, its been an ok yr not a good or great yr imo as when it really mattered too many old patterns of Sligo football repeated once again.

The wind is to pick up tomorrow for weekend aswell according to the forecast.

Best of luck lads.
