Midfield gave Moycullen the platform to win as they won 25 of the 42 kick outs. It was the accuracy in front of the posts that won the game for Brigids and lost it for Moycullen. Moycullen 46% on their shooting and 60% for Brigids.

Carroll the forward is quality similar to savage as I heard this week

Hand was v good cant recall seeing him for rossies"
Very good game. Hand, Carroll and Stack very good for Bridget's. Moycullen goal should not have stood. Over reliance on Peter Cooke though dominating centre field without him.

We have to support Bridget's now.



If you have a player/players able to convert 2pts, it seems to me you have to move ball faster - accurate kick passes from half back line - to put those players in good position with a half second to set up shot. Instead this slow hand pass buildup virtually telegraphs your intention even if Clifford showed that no matter- a great player can avail of a half chance.

Think Cooke only got one shot off and he looked off balance taking it. Normally he scores 2 or 3 two pointers for Moycullen but Bridget's had him well covered around the arc. That said he also only played half the game. Without Cooke scoring, Moycullen need another scoring forward to step up and they don't have one really. If they still had Owen Gallagher they probably would have won that game. The tall Fionn McDonagh was a right handful for Bridget's but he's probably not going to swing over many points.

I see Kevin O'Brien, the former Corofin manager with Scotstown versus Newbrige today. I wonder would he be able to assist Galway.

I thought he had a fair few shots.

The 45 before half time was madness and terrible game management

Then in 2nd half with wind they do what they should have done in first half and go back when really dessie should have took it on.

Sure he is with the Galway u20s this season.

Very disappointing result for Maigh Cuillean today. Hard not to think Salthill or Corofin would have beaten Brigids.

Hard to think they would have beaten them as well, on all known recent form.
