My senior club team of the year

Conor Carroll (Brigids) a bit of transfer business that took two years to complete and worth the wait as he played a huge role in Brigids regaining the title with two good final appearances.


David Murray (Pearses) a model consistent performer, his clubs best defender and offers leadership to keep them going in sticky patches which was plenty during this championship

Brian Stack (Brigids) great drive and leadership a true captains role for his team.

Mark Richardson (Pearses) solid campaign where he marked top fowards out of the game worth a recall to the senior county panel

Paddy Gavin (Clann) good marker with bag of pace will hopefully see more game time under Mark Dowd

Ruaidhri Fallon (Brigids) very good around the middle eight for winning possession cleanly or via breaking ball, good link man out of defence

Robbie Dolan (Brigids) really came to the fore in the two finals, not the tallest but a warrior.

Shane Cunnane (Brigids) such and clam and composed footballer, his quality of kick passing is as good as any player in the county

Conor Ryan (Pearses) his clubs most consistent player this year. Certainly put his hand up to be included on the senior county panel next year

Declan Kenny (Pearses) not as good today as previous games but another solid club championship from him and certainly puts his hands up for more county game time.


Dylan Ruane (Michael Glaveys) his club will be disappointed not to reach back to back semi-finals but no fault of his. Great work rate and team play by the county man

Paul McGrath (Brigids) unsung hero in his side, who regularly produces big plays both defensively and offensively for his team.

Diarmuid Murtagh (Faithleachs) his club reached back to back semi-finals in no small part to Diarmuids form and scored 2-31

Paul Carey (Pearses) well marked in the finals but Pearses wouldn't have reached the final but for his high scoring against Boyle,Oran. Finished up with overall score of 1-34

Ciaran Lennon (Clann) championship top scorer with 3-31. Worth trying as a target man under Mark Dowd to see can he bring his club scoring to county level.
C Lennon


Among others I considered Paul Whelan Conor Lohan, C Keogh (Pearses) Eddie Nolan Bobby Nugent (Brigids)Pat Gaynor (Western Gaels) C Kennelly (faithleach's) C Heneghan,N Heneghan (Glaveys) John Finnerty (Elphin) Tom Lennon,Ultan Harney (Clann) Cathal Feeley,Donie Smith (Boyle)

Congrats Loughrea... I thought when ye spurned all those goal chances in the first half it might come back to bite ye. Glad it didnt. Fully deserved win. Enjoy the celebrations.

Who would you have on it from Pollard? Name the player he missed? Likewise Fr. Dalton's? Clonkill's best player of an average bunch was Peadar Scally but he was sent off twice so hardly team of the year material.

Well done to Magheracloone on the win today, very good first season back in senior for them winning the league and a championship semi final appearance. Hopefully sets them up for an even better run next year.

It's been said multiple times but delaying the league finals until after championship is a disaster. Scotstown understandably resting starters takes away from the competition as a whole. Would be so much better playing it before the start of the championship.

Hopefully Loughrea go on and win the all Ireland now, had the hard route to the final and were the outstanding team in the championship and again tonight, should have won by alot bigger margin, was disappointing to see some Thomas players at the end with Liam Gordon. It wasn't a 65, the right call was got there in the end.

Brigid's champions again 1-16 1-12. Not as good as last weekend replays rarely are. Pearses 4 missed goal chances proved very costly.

Conor Carroll transfer proved to be a very good one with a man of the match display

I See a lot of loi fans telling GAA fans they can't complain about losing GAA players to the AFL because lads go and play soccer. This is completely different, as soccer clubs have developed the player who has played it in Ireland.

These people who hate the GAA know if we keep losing the best players interest will decline in GAA over time. What if Clifford had went to Australia? Rian O'Neill? The GAA need to wake up between losing the best players and the merging with the ladies the future is looking financially troubling.

Maybe give your own opinion on Team of the year. Its only one persons opinion to generate a bit of conversation. Nothing to be gained by targeting the poster in fairness. Id imagine Raharney probably do deserve a mention, but who comes out?

Replying To Seanfan:  "Good luck to him.
I have to laugh at the view the AFL are taking players because of the International games.

They haven't been played in 9 or 10 years and of course the lads being poached are all underage lads."
Does the more access to view club games and minor u20 championships assist with AFL scouting

Replying To jm25:  "I'm pretty sure football final last year from tuam was live on TG4"
Possibly the case. My comment was in relation to hurling which I believe generates more income on the livestream than the football.

Looking Forward To 2026 - 1 Like(s)

Replying To legendzxix:  "Provisional National Football League fixtures are currently being circulated among counties. Kerry are to start the defence of their Division 1 title against Roscommon in Fitzgerald Stadium on Sunday, January 25. A trip to Donegal is scheduled for the following weekend before a return to Austin Stack Park to face Galway in Round 3."
Great to hear that the proposed National League fixtures are being circulated a little earlier than usual as it should be. Do not want to miss any of the Roscommon matches as I personally like to plan well it advance in order to have a better choice of accommodation and at better value. It also means less chance of being double booked. (family/other sports events/concerts etc, etc)
Hopefully the dates will be confirmed and released to all supporters as soon as possible.
