Was in Lisnamult last night for flattering 6 point win for Boyle. Roscommon Gaels better team 1st half with a deserved half time lead. The Michael Gillooly before the break was game changer and in ten minute period Boyle scored 2-4 without reply. Donie Smith to the fore again and Daire Cregg looked more like himself after an extra two of training. Enda Smith had a late cameo his first appearance for 11 weeks.
Senan Lambe,Rory Carthy good for the Gaels they play North Roscommon next and with players coming back from injury the extra game should be helpful.
Was also in O'Rourke Park this evening and it was for excellent match between Castlerea and Oran.
Castlerea have really improved a lot with the introduction of their back to back county minor winners. They led by 4 at half time and were 8 ahead with 15 minutes to play and full value for that lead, then Oran had scoring patch with some outstanding scores to go one point in front but Adam McDermott got the last say to earn a draw.
Ciaran Lawless,Charlie Carthy,James Fitzpatrick,Kevin Hester,Liam Finneran had some impressive moments but the stand out player on show was the youngest player on the field Darragh Curran and his ceiling is high if he can avoid injuries in the years ahead.
Lastly well done to Elphin most myself included didn't see them avoiding a relegation play off.
The fact Clann and Faithleachs two of last year's semi Finalists are now in a relegation play off highlights once more that our senior championship in among the most competitive in the country

Replying To GreenandRed: "100% otherwise it's not worth your while going self employed if you go back to the same employer contracted to do the same job. Depends on the employer too and what incentives they offer you. Could be a pension plan, health insurance, bonuses etc. You might have more job security as an employee whereas an employer could lay off a contractor easier, depending on terms of the employment contract. Each case is different." All true from both yourself and Viking, and the example of going back to your previous employer to continue to do 40 hours a week for them is not a great example, but the key point in answering the other person's question is that there's nothing to actually prevent it from happening if both sides agree to the new arrangement.

Replying To Kew: "That's interesting. Its pretty much a independent competition from the GAA? So GAA deal with AI semi final onwards?" Counties manage their own championships, the provincial club championships are organised by the provincial councils and the GAA are responsible for the All-Ireland series.

Replying To Kew: "People aren't happy and many players are getting injured after a long county season, American competition,club competition." And getting injured from playing club games 6/7 weeks consecutively. Even more if you're a dual player

Replying To Kew: "People aren't happy and many players are getting injured after a long county season, American competition,club competition." The players are happy with the new fixtures calendar. "People" are entitled to say otherwise but while the players like it, it's not changing.

Replying To TheFlaker: "I spend less time on here than I used to for many reasons. One of the main reasons is the repetitive debates on topics that have been discussed to death.
The vast, vast majority of players and coaches in every county, club and inter county players included, are more than happy with the split season as it is. It's never going to be perfect but armchair supporters and old school people are the only ones who keep picking holes in it. And extra month would be class to have final a little later but it's also not the end of the world." In fairness some in Ulster have 14 months every year. Maybe their opinions could help. January, February, March, March, March!
