Deserved win for Boyle this afternoon or be it going 28 minutes without a score could have been costly for them. Learnt from their poor defensive showing against Roscommon Gaels to defend well today including marking the Murtagh's out of the game from play. Enda Smith good in midfield (playing him in defence should be over now) Daire Cregg their best forward kicking three fine scores from play and creating/assisting a few others. For Faithleachs I thought Glennon and Nerney was among their stand outs.

Took in last night's water polo game between Western Gales and Roscommon Gaels, really should have been switched to Hyde Park, Western Gaels will have mixed feelings, got the last score of the game to grab a draw but were into double figures on wides, shot selection and decision making is what cost them the win.

Watched the live stream there of Faithleach's and Boyle in Ballyleague. 2 point win for Boyle. Daire Cregg is a real talent. Two good feet. Think he'll be a big player for Roscommon in the future. Excellent coverage I thought. Raymond Lannon on commentary very good.

Good wins and impressive scoring by Brigids and Pearses in matches they were expected to win easy enough as the teams Doms,Glaveys are currently lining out with would struggle to win intermediate games never mind games against two teams that are contenders for the senior championship

Took in the game in Frenchpark for my 2nd game today, Castlerea with a good win and well deserved, Would have thought the weather conditions would have suited an older Elphin side better and they got off to a good start leading 2-0 in the opening ten mins but Castlerea took over after that thanks to a goal from Adam McDermott and led by 2 points at the break which would be extended to 5 by the end of the game. Jack Keane a county minor five years ago impressing at full back, Darren McDermott back in the starting line up was lively throughout and scored 0-3, Adam and Aaron with 1-4 between them. Showing well in league and championship they'll be contender for the intermediate championship but i think Fuerty will be the team to beat whom had another good win today.

From one point down at half time to winning by 12 a outstanding 2nd half display by Oran. That's them into the knock out stages again next step is winning a knock out game coming up short the last few years.

As for Strokestown and the highs of last years title success now has the lows of a group stage exit.

Very impressive by Oran and poor by Strokestown whom managed just one point in the 2nd half. Lack of a midfield their biggest issue this year and preparing for this senior championship playing in Div 2 wouldn't have been helpful and by not playing Mullooly pretty much highlighted he's the best defender they have.

Will be interesting to see how Oran do in the knock out stages now, lots of players that has played for Roscommon teams the last few years in Fitzpatick,Carthy,Walsh brothers,lawless so the quality is there but getting Tom Featherston back from injury is one big bonus for them.

Sad to near the news about Mick McCormack, the match day experience will be darker now without him, wonderful character and die rossie and talented photographer he was. Thoughts with family.

Thought Oran were impressive at the weekend, could be an outside bet for the championship if they can stay injury free and not be over awed if they meet Brigits or Pearses in the latter stages. Their game v Clann na Gael should show where exactly they are in the pecking order (even though both teams are through). Strokestown will be disappointed with their season but a big last game for them v Tulsk to see who goes up for relegation.

Group B looks pretty much decided, unless Dominics can produce a miraculous result against Pearses. St. Brigits look to be clicking together nicely. An easy victory for both sides in quarter finals against the divisional teams.

Group A is all left to play for. Felt Aaron Clogher had a very poor game (watching the game on the stream). Some very soft decisions and a certain black card not given. Boyle were the better team but might be wary that they still could have drawn or lost the game. They should have too much for Western Gaels and may top the group, but will have to improve vastly to make semi finals. St. Faithleachs and Roscommon Gaels should be the game of the weekend in 2 weeks time, with the winner guaranteed in basically a knock out game. Might just shade Roscommon Gaels in this one by 2 or 3 points.
