Is it just me or is the build up to the county final surprisingly quiet? Maybe, its the thread full of nonsense comments and relevant ones few and far between.

Some great 2 pointers from salthill, point up at half time.

As an aside it would be an idea to maybe have a kid free zone at some of these games.
Its hard to enjoy a game when theres hordes of youngsters running around everywhere shouting and roaring not paying a blind bit of notice to the match.

Damo off injured is a big disappointment. Showed glimpses of class today again. Hopefully not too serious. Anyone have an update?

Salthill-Knocknacarra fall over the line in the other semi-final. Best team won Salthill-Knocknacarra with the better work rate especially Magic Thompson.

Ballinamore were more or less in complete control until keeper injury but replacing him with McKeon was a baffling tactical decision, seeing as he is not a goalkeeper as was proven fairly rapidly, his distribution wasn't particularly good and you're removing the option of bringing him on out the field to close out the game which he surely would have. Dean McGovern was extremely good in the first half around the middle, and would make ya think it would be nice to have him back in the county setup. But he was playing more or less as a fullback in the second half before Fenagh went three up which was also very odd. And Honeyman very profligate with the shooting. Fenagh should have closed it out and drove on well when they got a sniff in the second half, but also got two very soft goals to stay in it. Both team left it behind them in different ways, but can't wait for the replay. Serious attendance but as Eslin says slightly quiet atmosphere. Maybe the two teams are too civil to each other, which is understandable.

I was at both games today, and after that hammering, it's hard to believe Annaghdown are one of the top four teams in Galway. But that's the reality of the growing gap between the top teams and the rest, and that gap seems to be getting bigger every year. It also says a lot about the standard of the teams Annaghdown beat to reach the semi-finals. How poor were they.

Moycullen were absolutely phenomenal. Their work rate, creativity, accuracy, movement and overall style of play were a joy to watch. They were utterly ruthless from start to finish, and the quality they have throughout the team is frightening.

Salthill-Knocknacarra against Corofin, on the other hand, was a fairly average game to watch. Corofin have gone backwards considerably over the last two years, particularly in how they play their football. Today, they seemed obsessed with taking the safe, conservative option. They had numerous opportunities in both halves to take on two-pointers, but instead kept recycling it back and forth across the pitch and achieving very little.

I'm genuinely surprised to see Corofin playing this brand of football. By their own high standards, they've been very poorly coached over the last two seasons. I don't know who's responsible for the coaching since Gary came in, but whoever is overseeing it needs to have a serious re-think. The football they're playing is shockingly average to watch by Corofin standards, and it's a million miles away from the positive, attacking football that made them such a brilliant team for so many years.

Today was the first time this championship that Corofin came up against opposition of a similar standard, and they lost. And probably just as well, because playing the way they currently do, Moycullen would have absolutely torn them apart.

That safe, boring, conservative football just isn't the Corofin way, and I find it hard to understand why they've gone down that road. For a club with their tradition, standards and resources, what we've seen this year and last simply isn't good enough. In my opinion, they badly need a change in their coaching setup.

As for Moycullen, it's very hard to see past them after today. They've class all over the pitch, tremendous work rate, a brilliant attacking style and serious depth coming off the bench.

Moycullen to win it out.
