All Ireland Club Championships 2024

What's the story with the video of the Cushendall flag being taken down from a local spar?

Just a bit of banter or was there bitter loyalists involved?

Wouldn't have thought there be much loyalists in that neck of the woods.

Result in the Leitrim senior final replay.  Mohill 0-15 Ballinamore 1-12.  Extra time to be played.   Just one score in the 1st half of extra time 0-16 to 1-12.

Result 0-17 to 1-14.  Match gone to penalties.    Mohill win on penalties, first time they have won back to back County titles.

Mouth O'Hara got a red for continuous abuse of officials.

While the pulling of county players from district board championships will cause some disquiet I think in a lot of cases it's badly needed. The Cliffords for one thing have been flogged these past 2 years. Not helped by Jack calling on them for Rd2 of the league in Clones last year either when they were meant to have half the league off.

I think/hope that it will be players who are still in County Senior Championship that get pulled or "decide" not to play. But it will cause trouble in certain cases as the district championships have big tradition and interest in them.

Regarding the district championships, would certain areas take them more seriously than others? I've always got the impression that the South Kerry is taken quite serious? Would this be the same in all districts?
Also, would a club like St Mary's Cahersiveen view winning the South Kerry as a bigger deal than an All county junior/intermediate championship?

North Kerry, South Kerry are really keenly contested always, North Kerry especially. I mean there's been 3/4k at finals in recent years even still. St Mary's would value a South Kerry but they've won so many recently that no, I'd say a county title or anything bigger would rank above it. They're struggling in county Intermediate though currently.

West Kerry has been dominated by Dingle and Gaeltacht. They've a serious rivalry so that's a big game but the other 3 clubs are well below them over last 10 years sadly.
East Kerry (O'Donoghue cup) has potential to be very good but not as keenly contested as others, mainly due to Crokes, Rathmore putting so much into county championships. If Crokes are fixed to play in it over next month they'll likely put out a shadow of a first team.
Mid Kerry should be good standard this year. Milltown-Castlemaine the highest ranked team but I don't think they'd beat Laune Rangers or Beaufort if they are at full pelt. Glenbeigh/Glencar lost an Intermediate semi final and even Keel are a very strong Prem Junior team. Cromane are the also rans.
Brendans Board (encompassing Tralee) bizarrely don't even run a championship half the time. Only district that doesn't.

[Captain Obvious]

Tyrone senior final off and in this weather all other finals should be off also however some county boards are daft enough to go ahead as planned.

[Saffron_sam20]

Cuala crokes cracking game here. Real intensity and both teams going for it. Some class hits, just real good football

[shark]

Cuala deserved it. Great win. Nice to see new teams win championships.

[Captain Scarlet]

In Croke Park last year for Leinster Club match and seeing Walsh running amok and making me feel bad for poor little Naas was bad. But then Crokes added more lads this year.

Happy for Cuala. What happened with Con? Will an appeal be a runner?

[The Trap]

Can't say that Sam......the game needs fixed into a new game apparently.
I totally agree with you. Super watch. Fitzsimmons is some defender and Con is some forward. Both real competitors and great leaders (don't know what Con did to get sent off?). They had other superb performances as well. Congratulations to them.
What a pass by Mannion too.

Leave the game alone lads. Its not about creating a score fest, needs intensity too and I think a lot of the players wanted to push that point in interviews after the game last night.

[Sheedy]

Brilliant win for Cuala, nothing wrong with a game like that especially the last quater

[From the Bunker]

The BIG money behind Cuala paying dividends. They should survive the Leinster first round with Con out.
