Replying To WonTon5: "What a performance from young Timmy Madden in the intermediate final yesterday, finished with 0-7 and MoM award. A minor last year, this is his first year playing adult football and to do that for your parish is the stuff dreams are made of. I think Caherlistrane will have enough to stay senior next year, good influx of young players, Richard McGrath and Evan Cunningham at the back look like county prospects. Still a sprinkle of the old heads there and a solid management team. Give them a couple of years and I think they could make a similar impact that Dunmore did a few years back. As for Spideal, you would feel sorry for them because their spine is aging and not much churn of youth coming in a part from Farthing who has stood out as we all hoped he would. An Spideal will be there abouts again next year but Oranmore are another year older and wiser, we all know they are coming. Litir Mor will want to bounce back quickly. MB will have all these Minor lads now eligible but they might need a couple of seasons in the dog fight to adjust. Well done Caherlistrane, a very difficult championship to win." Well done Caherlistrane. Delighted to see a rural team not making the same mistake so many others have made as a result of the sharp decline in numbers, in that they gave the youth priority over the great servants who were getting on a bit. They should indeed be able to hold their own in senior now. Happy to for Salthill who are probably the most "kick the ball" team in it. However, I think the Galway senior club championship was not that strong this year.

Replying To Claretandblue: "Shandonagh's performances just vary too much. Last year they were annihilated by Tubberclair in group stage and while it wasn't a knockout game it didn't look good for their prospects. This year they scraped over Multy when they should easily be beating Multy, they also lost to Malachy's before then hammering Milltownpass and Ballinagore. Today was mystifying as they never got to the pitch of the game. The breeze was worth 5-6 points and yet they trailed by 6 midway through first half. They performed far better in last year's final, size wise they had a light team and today's conditions were suited to strong physical players." Don't think my last message posted. I'd have to disagree about Shandonagh being light and that the conditions suited Milltown more . Milltown won because they had far more desire and determination. From the minute the ball was thrown in Milltown were far hungrier and wanted it way more. They were relentless for the full game and never took their foot off the pedal. Shandonagh looked very lacklustre and disinterested at times. Milltown were tackling and running off the ball in packs all the time whereas Shandonagh lads were looking for someone else to step up. I hope Milltown go on a run in Leinster now because they have a strong team. Playing Offaly finalists first in a game I would expect them to win as long as the celebrations aren't prolonged.

Replying To Beolive92: "scotstown are the obvious favourites for the championship but who could be potential banana skins. Could edendork get over the line this weekend after their celebrations and get to a quarter final? How good are this magherafelt side, they have lots of star quality there. Always a good championship and hopefully lots of entertaining games." Crossmaglen are back, though obviously not the team of old. Clonduff were in good form all year, unbeaten in Championship. St Eunans likewise. The Square Bar is no doubt still packed tonight!!!!
Still hard to see past Scotstown.
