Replying To ValPadden: "brayballer - you might want to go back and look at. the games and the stats. Cillian O'C is top scorer of all time with most of his scores coming vs Dublin, Kerry and Galway. Plenty from play and plenty from placed balls. Similar to the other forwards you referenced, except he scored a lot more vs the top teams" He was a good player but my piint was most of his scores came from placed balls.
Championship revord from play is
Cillian O Connor (played 75 games) and scored 22-73
David Clifford (played 53 games) and scored 26-173 from play.
Yoing Clifford has played 22 less games and has scored 4-100 more than O Connor from play.

Tiered Leinster SHC - 1 Like(s)
Replying To Pikeman96: "But going back to basics, and the notion (whether you agree with it or not) that second-tier counties need to regularly play first-tier ones in order to raise their standards:
- The proposal on the table doesn't allow for that. Each year, just one of the sides who've been up and down from the McDonagh Cup to date will get a crack against a top four side at all, and they might never get a crack against one of the top two.
- My proposal does allow for it. Also gives them appropriate other chances to avoid bottom spot and relegation danger.
- Yours may allow for it too. But I still prefer mine to yours. :)
By the way, not sure what your point is re. the Rugby World Cup. Australia were in Pot 2 (7th in the rankings). They had to be drawn against one of the top six. It just happened to be New Zealand. Could have been any of the others instead." He was talking about the Rugby League World Cup. There are plenty of Rugby people never heard of it either ;-)

"There is a genuine desire on both sides to continue strengthening the relationship, particularly around supporting Irish players pursuing opportunities in Australia, and we're excited about what further collaboration between our two organisations could look like."
Sounds like the gaa will be working with the AFL to put in structures for players moving.

Replying To RoyalStalwart24: "The GAA will be under pressure with all this AFL rubbish. What a superb talent, going down under.
Unfortunately, there's virtually nothing to be done if we want to keep the amateur nature of our game intact" How's it rubbish? Getting paid well in a sunny country with lots to do is better than living in rural Donegal or Ireland as a whole. Most only go away for a few years anyway. He could very well be back within 2-3 years.
Best of luck to him. Donegal got off lightly compared to other counties down the years. Could have lost Gallen too if memory serves me

Did a bit of research before junior final. What is the story with Drumhowan. Not a good sign winning so many junior championships
Won junior Double in 2006. Relegated in 07.
Won Junior in 08 & Ulster
Won intermediate league & lost championship final in 09
Relegated from senior then intermediate in 10 and 11
Won junior in 2012 Relegated the following year
Won in 2014. Relegated the following year
Won in 2024. Relegated last year
Won league and probably championship this year.
For the last 20 years they have won 10 cups. Yet haven't remained in senior or intermediate for two consecutive years. Poor from them

Does anyone think Pearses will do it? 8-39 in two extra time games and only two wides is incredible efficiency. Part of me feels that it's being billed as a county final for the ages but Brigids will pull away and win more comfortably than expected. Hopefully it doesn't transpire like that and we get a game as gripping as the semi final. I think it was Ian Cooney that said, more has to go right for Pearses to win than Brigids and I tend to agree. Weather looks ideal. Shame about the ticket pricing, a lot more neutrals would go if they had the good sense to to knock a fiver off the main price and 15 euro tickets for students and OAPs.
