That's great you attend or live stream U20 or U17 games, the actual attendance figures and lack of discussion on this or any other Connacht county thread on here speaks for itself but blame me for it?

For the record this is the only forum I'm on and on it for over a decade with this one and only username. I suggest whatever issues you are having elsewhere you need address it directly.

Replying To BarneyGrant:  "That's grand. So at what point do Irish people get the right to suggest that 25% of population and rising steadily born overseas might not be an entirely good thing?

Doubt people in Philippines would think it was good for themselves. NOT the fault of anyone who comes here I stress."
That's a whole other discussion. I'm not saying I'm in favour of mass migration. I am making the point that humans are motivated by more things than money.

We need immigration to plug skills gaps. I believe this should be carefully controlled as it is in Canada, Australia etc.

Not all societies/cultures are compatible either.

As a neutral looking in that is bottom of the barrel stuff to be attacking one of your own and one of our most informed posters on here and dedicated supporters.

Not sure why you are so uptight after all his point on Connacht Underage group games isn't wrong, mainly famiily members of the players that attend. At 12€ a match to watch I wouldn't say the interest is high but credit to the Connnacht GAA for streaming every game, remember some big senior Division 1 games wasn't streamed this spring.

If things get worse or a solution is not found soon then playing or watching sports will be the least of our worries.

Meath are Tier 3 unless they win Leinster.
If you are using the League form they just about beat Cork and are certainly not 2 Tier's apart.

I wholeheartedly disagree . Meath and Louth have no fear of Dublin and I can see Meath being leinster champions

Just doing up the final scores now. But just to clarify, so that I don't have everyone hounding me about scores....

if you predicted a Down and Carlow win, no points are actually awarded because they were technically drawn games.
I think one or two did specify Carlow x 2 AET, in which case I awarded them 7 points...

So using my own score as an example for everyone to reference/check their own...

Donegal v Kerry - Donegal x 1 (Jason McGee) = 5 points
Meath v Cork - Meath by 2 (Jack Flynn) = 10 points
Down v Wexford - Down by 6 (Pat Havern) = 0 points
Carlow v Longford Carlow by 4 (Colm Hulton) = 0 points

Jack Savage has been named in the New York panel ahead of their Connacht SFC quarter-final clash against Roscommon this Sunday night.

He won an All-Ireland medal with his native county Kerry in 2022.

Wicklow GAA thread - 1 Like(s)
The Minor match tonight was very entertaining and the epitome of a game of 2 halves. Wicklow were phenomenal in the 1st half and led 3-10 to 0-4 at the break. Carlow started the second half well but still a comeback didn't look on. They plugged away though and Wicklow just couldn't get hold of the ball. Carlow were now in total control and reeled off 2 pointers for fun. In fact were it not for Lucas Reid's two late points Wicklow were in serious trouble. Entering injury time Wicklow led by 5, 3-15 to 0-19. Carlow then scored a wonderful goal straight to the roof of the Wicklow net and had a brilliant chance to equalise. Alas for them the ball struck the outside of the post and their chance was gone. Worryingly for Wicklow, we were outscored 1-15 to 0-5 in that second half. Hard to know where we stand.

A good addition. Panel includes most that started against Galway last year and were competitive for 55 minutes then Galways fitness allowed them to win pulling up.

Replying To nadunta2025:  "What does progress look like from Westmeath, win Tailteann ? beating longford, step 1 anyway it will be difficult i think for 40- 50 mins but i expect westmeath to pull away. Play Meath if beat Meath it would be huge and a huge step forward cannot see it as Meath in top 6 teams in the country now. So we have to win Tailteann which means we have stayed stagnant since we last won tailteann or probably regressed?
We celebrated that cup and rightly so but for what ? we never kicked on."
Must win against Longford. Anything after that in Leinster is a free hit. Meath are levels above us at the moment but be great to have a one off game in O Connor park in 2 weeks.

Tailteann Cup is also a must win. If no shocks in the provinces we will be up against Offaly, Laois, Clare, Sligo and Wexford as favourites. No great shakes.

Only 4 lads remaining from the team that started 2022 Tailteann cup final. This is a completely new team and anything other than a win in this competition should be marked as a failure.
