Replying To Dmoa95: ""Salthill-Knocknacarra would beat Castlebar pulling up if they got the opportunity to play them."
Castlebar are being completely underestimated here. They have a very strong record outside Mayo, and they and Salthill are probably two of the biggest clubs in Connacht in terms of population and playing resources. Both are stacked with current inter-county players, as well as an abundance of former inter-county players and players who have represented their counties at U20 and minor level.
I'd still have Brigids ahead of both, but if Salthill get through their next two games and Castlebar make the final, I think it would be a 50/50 contest. As far as I'm aware, the final would also be in Castlebar." We have one saying Salthill wouldn't trouble Castlebar and another saying Salthill would beat them pulling up. Overestimating and underestimating. The likelihood is it'd be a competitive game, but I'd have Salthill as favourites for that, if it happened.
There's no getting away from Mayo's poor record in Connacht in recent years. No Connacht title in over a decade and no team even in a final since 2021. That'll change this year, as Castlebar only have to beat the London winners to reach the final.
Either way, if it goes to form, the match-up won't happen as Brigid's are the favourites at this stage.
