Senior schools final is Raphaels against Athenry again this year. Raphaels probably the favourites this time around.

National Football League 2026 - 1 Like(s)
Replying To legendzxix: "Division One:
Armagh v Galway
Mayo v Dublin
Donegal v Kerry
Roscommon v Monaghan
D1. Three top 7 clashes. Tough away day to Donegal. All four games could go either way.
Division Two:
Kildare v Offaly
Derry v Tyrone
Louth v Cork
Cavan v Meath
D2. Three top 14 clashes. Can Kildare follow up their draw away to Tyrone and break into the top 14? Offaly need to bounce back with a win, as do all who lost on the opening day. All four D2 games can also go either way." The League is definitely the best competition in Football.

Allianz protest - 1 Like(s)
Replying To zinny: "Look I don't have an issue with people protesting and it is genuine GAA people who are not happy rather than it being used as another stick to beat the GAA from distractors outside of it. I think the GAA has done the best they can here and there is enough distance between what happens and PIMCO and Allianz that continuing with them as sponsor is justified. If it was found that Musgraves continued to import goods from Israel to sell in their shops, I would take a very different view and yet I don't believe they have given that commitment. People may take the view that its an individuals responsibility to check if they are buying them or not - I would not take that stand. While I personally always check where good come from, a lot of people don't and it is at times well hidden.
However I think you may have missed one important point and I will use an example. Two major tech companies named in the report are big corporation tax payers in Ireland and for that matter another one is the biggest trading corporate with Israel who also pays a lot of corporation tax. We use their products daily as well. We personally or indirectly through our governments tax take and distribution of that tax are already morally compromised. Complaining then that the GAA is taking money from Allianz while not recognizing that we also do the same is where I have the issue. As I said if we were to recognize our own failings and understand the nature of what the complaint is against Allianz then I believe there is no issue." This continuous raising of other issues/companies in people's lives is a red herring. If I decide to donate to concern for example people don't say why concern, why no x,y and z.
Also surely people can genuinely see the difference between a sponsorship relationship which involves mutual endorsement and a customer client relationship which does not.

Replying To TopDrawer: "Any Wicklow players in the Sigerson?" Conor Fee and Joe Prendergast started for TUD the other night, Jack Hardy on the bench for Maynooth. That was it as far as I could see

Great to see Carrabine back in the squad. Hopefully he's fit in next couple of games. Harte back also and will surely start on Sunday. Need a big performance on Sunday to get the league up and running. Keaney didn't make the squad that's a pity as looks a very good player. Apart from that very strong squad.

Even though Gleason has improved aspects of his game unfortunately his kickouts have not and in reality his kicking in general is not good enough for county level Also they need stop brining him up taking frees he misses most of them , in my opinion unless they change keeper long term not just for a game every now and then Galway are going to be stuck where they are a top 6 team and no better

Kickouts are a team and system issue! Galway have struggled for years to consistently win clean primary ball, especially against top sides. Changing the keeper without fixing that doesn't suddenly solve the problem it just shifts the blame as we like to do.
On the frees, he's missing a high percentage, then fair enough, that's an easy fix. Don't bring him up. But that's a management call, not a reason to write him off as a county keeper.
Saying his general kicking "isn't good enough for county level" feels harsh when Galway often go long by design, movement for short kickouts is poor, midfield contests are regularly lost, opposition presses are reading Galway's patterns easily.
A new keeper won't change Galway being a "top 6 team" as you said unless their kickout structures improve and outfielders start winning more ball, Swap the keeper tomorrow and you'll still see the same problems if the system stays the same.
Blaming one player for Galway's ceiling ignores the bigger issues that have kept Galway GAA just short of the top for a while now.
