Good win for Kinvara. Sylane not too interested in hurling, few dirty late hits. 11 points probably flattered them, Whelan with a few bad wides in the first half and the Sylane keeper was excellent to keep them in it Kinvara (Galway) - Posts: 174 - 06/10/2024 18:17:16 2573293 Link

Replying To TanCanRan: "Always the excuses. Turloughmore not able to get the job done and got plenty of soft frees in the second half" Same old Turlough always find wanting when it comes to the crunch cant get over the line. Thomas`s just always find a way. Eire89 (Galway) - Posts: 294 - 07/10/2024 09:42:03 2573403 Link
Replying To Eire89: "Same old Turlough always find wanting when it comes to the crunch cant get over the line. Thomas`s just always find a way." I suppose going a man down didn't help much. They fought well. Fair play to them. Trump2020 (Galway) - Posts: 2235 - 07/10/2024 11:13:52 2573431 Link

TBF when the chips were down the attitude was very good but they'll need to bring it from the throw in next time Stool Pigeon (Galway) - Posts: 894 - 07/10/2024 20:49:29 2573539 Link
Replying To TanCanRan: "And who's fault is that?" Honestly I didn't see the match as I was working but listened to quite a bit of it. I don't know how bad the offense was. I'm very happy for Thomas's but Turloughmore gave them quite a fright. Trump2020 (Galway) - Posts: 2235 - 08/10/2024 01:30:59 2573572 Link
Replying To Stool Pigeon: "If Kinvara put in a first half like that the next day they may as well tog in at halftime and head home. TBF when the chips were down the attitude was very good but they'll need to bring it from the throw in next time" Absolutely. Seemed to be a few nerves but after 10 mins it always seemed like they had a bit of control over the game. When Whelan came into it , it wasn't really a contest I'd say that could be as far as they go, but great promise in some of the young lads.

Replying To Alwaysencourage: "Wasn't a red card." It was a second yellow though, which it was. Not a straight red. TanCanRan (Galway) - Posts: 205 - 08/10/2024 09:19:40 2573600 Link

Who wins the senior B final. Athenry already beat portumna in the groups stage but hard to call. 2maroonjerseys (Galway) - Posts: 73 - 08/10/2024 09:34:15 2573606 Link
I have a feeling the Intermediate Semi Final Draw will be...... Tynagh/Abbey-Duniry v Kinvara Meelick-Eyrecourt v Killimor. katser (Galway) - Posts: 2454 - 08/10/2024 10:44:08 2573620 Link
Replying To TanCanRan: "It was a second yellow though, which it was. Not a straight red." Very very soft.Saw Thomas getting away with alot more. Alwaysencourage (Galway) - Posts: 358 - 08/10/2024 11:33:44 2573634 Link
Replying To Alwaysencourage: "Very very soft.Saw Thomas getting away with alot more." Refereeing not great in any of the 4 games. Both Thomas' and Loughrea got the breaks. Bizarre carry-on from the ref in the Sarsfiels Cappy game. SixtiesKid (Galway) - Posts: 325 - 08/10/2024 11:40:13 2573638 Link
Replying To Alwaysencourage: "Very very soft.Saw Thomas getting away with alot more." St Thomas got two frees late on in the game, both dives. Not impressed tbh. Crashingwaves (Galway) - Posts: 72 - 08/10/2024 11:52:29 2573640 Link
Replying To Alwaysencourage: "Very very soft.Saw Thomas getting away with alot more." I didn't see any Thomas lads belt an opposition player on the head while on a yellow. FYI, best look back on where all Turlough's second half points came from. Oh soft frees. TanCanRan (Galway) - Posts: 205 - 08/10/2024 12:18:14 2573643 Link
Replying To Crashingwaves: "St Thomas got two frees late on in the game, both dives. Not impressed tbh." Turlough got more than their share in the second half. Have a look at the free count. TanCanRan (Galway) - Posts: 205 - 08/10/2024 12:18:42 2573644 Link
hi all.. i was in athenry sunday and had a brill day.. brilliant too see such a great crowd which added to the atmosphere.. im delighted like so many others that both county finals are not in pearse stadium.. the atmosphere created in tuam/athenry/ballinasloe CANNOT BE CREATED IN PEARSE STADIUM at club level withen the county..i undertstand pearse stadium is the county ground well id leave it for the county teams then.. on another note does anyone no if duggan park will be getting a facelift.. it certainly needs it...new stand on either side of the pitch...its got the floodlights but the grounds needs a serious makeover and i hope this happens going forward and its a brill location and a great pitch like athenry.. hard luck to turlough..sending off was a massive turning point.. we are in for two very good semi finals are there both hard too call so looking forward to it.. gbay (Galway) - Posts: 264 - 08/10/2024 13:15:42 2573659 Link
