I saw most of it. McLaughlin very good when he came on, lovely score with his left and then a monster point with his right. Daniel O'Flaherty was good as well, remember he started most games for Galway early this year. Cathal Sweeney seemed to be one of the best, seems to be improving all the time. Ryan Monaghan another one who slipped into the Galway set up under the radar last year. He carried well last night smallfrank (Galway) - Posts: 404 - 30/11/2023 11:18:58 2515063 Link 0 |

There are clubs who have been going outside for years and nothing to show for it. They would have been better off developing their club facilities. If you have the right set up and facilities at club level you will get better people involved. Just my view smallfrank (Galway) - Posts: 404 - 30/11/2023 11:25:10 2515064 Link 0 |

They should win the Sigerson with that squad. Very strong forward line with O'Curraoin, O'Donoghue, Conroy, O'Conghaile.

Mannion was in for the minor job but he went full Mayo by releasing his backroom team to the said podcast. It surely cost him. Such a silly move.

Every successful NUIG team has been Galway dominated. Tradition of success in Galway that is not there in Mayo is bound to be a factor.

Actually only 4 Mayo lads on the panel although two of them are big names in Conroy and O'Donoghue. Galway lads who started last night are Colin Murray, Cian Monaghan, Diarmuid Kilcommins, Paul Kelly, Liam O'Conghaile, Ryan Monaghan and Cathal Sweeney. James McLaughlin and Cillian O'Curraoin also played last night. Not sure did Daniel O'Flaherty play but he's involved anyway. Few other Galway lads on the panel.

Great to have the mix of counties in there in the college game. The lads love it. You can soldier together and have the craic and form lifelong friendships with your other times arch rivals. County jerseys get superseded by the College one when stepping into a Sigerson game. They're seriously high quality battles a lot of the time and county rivalries are well and truly parked for Sigerson and HE League. Up UCG! Or whatever we're supposed to call it this week! UG ain't the same.

I saw some great games down through the years. There was a brilliant game around 2000 between NUIG and UCD in Dangan. NUIG had Dessie Dolan, Maurice Sheridan, Karl Donlon from Tuam, Micheal O'Callarain, and Brian Considine from Clare Centre back(brilliant player) Midfield was Ciaran McManus(Offaly) and Nigel Crawford(Meath) for UCD vs David O'Shaughnessy(Westmeath) and Darren Rooney(Laois) for NUIG, some battle smallfrank (Galway) - Posts: 404 - 01/12/2023 16:36:41 2515232 Link 0 |

I used to like Sigerson but post grad students spoiled it. Only undergraduates should be permitted.

He's pure class! That goal at the end took some doing, theres not many players could do that. We're lucky to have him playing in Dublin, he's really lit up the championship, seems like a nice fella too!

He's in flying form again. Can't wait to see him back in the maroon and white, especially if he can bring this rich vein of form into 2024, and I think he fully intends to. Everyone that knows anything about football knows he has outrageous talent, now he's bringing the drive and hunger with it again too. And yes, he's one of the nicest fellas you could meet.

Four points up in injury time, zero pressure on him, nice chip flick aside it was hardly Matt Connor in his prime Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 1664 - 02/12/2023 19:55:05 2515282 Link 4 |

He's some player, always said it's going to cost some team dear with all these goalies now roaming out the field, didn't make a difference today as the game was already won but I can see it costing some team in a big game sometime. Crokes will be hard to stop with Walsh in this form. Tirchonaill1 (Donegal) - Posts: 2897 - 02/12/2023 20:04:59 2515283 Link 0 |

You might have missed the eight points before the goal

Might be in flying form now but dont think elite players can keep it going for 12 months of the year without a proper break -- which is basically what is required if playing with a very successful club and playing county as well.

He scored 1-8, my friend. In a Leinster senior final, that's some haul, and that's 1-8 out of 1-14.
