Connacht FBD League 2011 Extravaganza - Official Thread Anseo

[RedandGreenSniper]

Shane McHale and Keith Rogers have plenty to offer too but they're young yet so will probably be with the Under 21s first and see how they get on.

Also, I forgot one obvious choice for a full-forward line place - Aidan Kilcoyne. Barry Moran looks like he is trying out for midfield rather than full-forward.

Muppet - that's him. Ballaghaderreen lad.

NUI, Galway: Nathan King, Ciaran McDonald, Shane McHale, Keith Rogers, Peadar Gardiner, Ciaran Conroy, Josh Moore, Stephen Gilmartin, Denis Corroon, Fiachra Deasmhunaigh, Greg Higgins, Mark McHugh, Neil Douglas, Aodhan Mullan, Jason Doherty.

Dillon was named on the bench but started. There was another scatter of Mayo lads in the subs. Don't ask me who the were

Hows Mullan getting on for NUIG, did anyone notice? Clubmate of mine up in Derry

if only the original was starting off his career again!
we weren't very impressive v roscommon today but sure its early days. Looking forward to the down game in 13 days. The flood lights will add to the excitement of the new beginning!

This Ciaran McDonald is potentially as good a back as the Mayo one was a forward

[RedandGreenSniper]

I must add that Cathal Freeman was a breath of fresh air today. Serious performer, a classy player and has loads to offer in the half-forward line.

A huge welcome back to the over the top early season infectious optimism.

We need it now more than ever.

& he's spot on with that report "The fact that Mayo went in only down by a point at half time, will be something that will have many Roscommon supporters and players scratching their heads about. The Connacht champions should have had the ball in the back of the net on at least three occasions."

What's over the top? That some players played well and that we have options?

About Ciaran McDonald? But he's from Tipp, are we at crossed wires?

I think so, it doesn't matter where he is from pronouncing him as good as CMcD is imho ott. But that is what sites like this, and being a Gaa supporter are all about.

He has played a few years for the Tipp seniors afaik. I though he was a full back though

And I still think we will win Sam.

How many times have you updated the MWWSI thing now??

[SLIGONIAN]

Sligonian, asking here from a Westmeath perspective. How did Gilmartins midfield partner Denis Corroon show up? Westmeath destroyed at midfield today.

I have good news, if this wasnt an one off he was immense, strong running, serious presence aorund the middle, won ball clean, scored, he impressed me and those around me, he also got a yellow for fighting costello so not afraid of the physical. He outplayed taylor for us but bear in mind taylor didnt try a leg today. If he was a Sligoman id definitly be optimistic about him.
