Replying To galway19: "Well done to Oranmore Maree. Another Div 1 Feile title for Galway after Turlough and Clarinbridge winning it the last few years. The Lohan stock from Clare in that team is strong. Frank involved and captained by nephew Gus Lohan who is a savage hurler." The Lohan stock is from Galway originally. Frank and Brian's father Gus was a Cappy man. WanPintWin (Galway) - Posts: 2210 - 22/06/2024 23:32:18 2553863 Link
One very tough group to call in the club championship with Castlegar, Oranmore, Ardrahan and Sarsfields in it. Any of the four could win that one. The others look a bit more straightforward. Turlough and Thomas' should top their groups fairly easily and I'd fancy Clarinbridge to win Group 2 ahead of Loughrea. galway19 (Galway) - Posts: 799 - 24/06/2024 21:50:01 2554571 Link

Tough to call. Trump2020 (Galway) - Posts: 2274 - 25/06/2024 09:43:14 2554644 Link

Some performance by the footballers yesterday Jack L (None) - Posts: 3141 - 30/06/2024 15:34:21 2555960 Link
Replying To Jack L: "Some performance by the footballers yesterday" Yeah. It helps fill the void a little bit since the hurlers are done for the year. Hon Galway. Trump2020 (Galway) - Posts: 2274 - 30/06/2024 16:15:10 2555976 Link
From the 2020 u20 football team that won the all ireland 13 of them have played senior football for Galway. The fullback line started v dublin. The hurlers could learn a thing or two about bringing through young guys and putting trust in them unlike dropping young hurlers after slogging through the winter Galway456 (Galway) - Posts: 120 - 01/07/2024 15:36:10 2556296 Link

I'm sure if we did, as many as 13 of them would be given their chance to nail down a place on the senior hurling team too. PoolSturgeon (Galway) - Posts: 1963 - 01/07/2024 20:30:16 2556371 Link

Going by your logic only if a u20 all ireland is won then these guys deserve to be brought through? There has been 5 or 6 minor teams beaming with talent and potential and even the 2018 u20 team that got bet by tipp in limerick and would have won only for 2 red cards and a ton of wides.

If those minor teams were truly 'beaming' with talent, they never lit it up at u20/u21 level. Combine that horribly lacklustre under20 form, with a young 2017 senior allireland winning squad that very few were in a rush to retire from, and you have a scenario that no new talent of note emerges for 6 or 7or more? seasons.

Davy stepped down as Waterfords Manager. Could he be Galways next Manager if/when Shefflin steps down? Interesting timing as Waterford played well in a tough Munster group. Trump2020 (Galway) - Posts: 2274 - 02/07/2024 23:38:12 2556631 Link

You beat me to it. i thought the same. Surely it's not going to happen, Five years too late for both sides. SixtiesKid (Galway) - Posts: 327 - 03/07/2024 10:51:42 2556684 Link
Replying To SixtiesKid: "You beat me to it. i thought the same. Surely it's not going to happen, Five years too late for both sides." Very quiet Whispers of MOD and crew will be back next year Galway456 (Galway) - Posts: 120 - 03/07/2024 11:43:59 2556695 Link
Replying To SixtiesKid: "You beat me to it. i thought the same. Surely it's not going to happen, Five years too late for both sides." While you're probably right and I do agree with you I just have this nagging feeling that he might be next in line either this year or next. I often wonder if Anthony Cunningham would ever come back if asked. Trump2020 (Galway) - Posts: 2274 - 03/07/2024 13:20:01 2556720 Link
I won't be surprised if Michael is back in charge with ye again..if that happened it would open the Dublin job to Davy.. CTGAA10 (Limerick) - Posts: 2404 - 03/07/2024 14:55:19 2556757 Link

No surprise to see Henry gone. Anyone at the Match v Dublin could see a lot wrong with the setup and a team not exactly giving everything for the cause, conordee (Galway) - Posts: 450 - 03/07/2024 16:43:48 2556780 Link
How ironic is it that davys steps away last night and henry is gone today, i still think MOD will be back Galway456 (Galway) - Posts: 120 - 03/07/2024 16:47:28 2556781 Link
