Hard luck to Elphin losing 1-7 to 1-6. They'll look back on that final with much regret. Wasn't easy to score into the scoreboard end today with that wind and the goal from a defensive error was very costly along with 4 wides in a row with the wind advantage 2nd half.

When Elphin get over today's disappointment they will be pleased with their years work and if they manage to stay up in senior level it will be another good year next year for Elphin.

Look back on today with regret?? They were fairly poor for 40 minutes today and even last week they looked average enough. Best team won today and elphin can't have any regrets let's be honest. Elphins big players have been poor the last couple of weeks and if Davy burke was there today he won't be bringing anyone in to county panel

Yes with regret. First the pure give away of goal which was totally unlike them in the championship this year. Key to beating Strokestown,Eire OG, Easten Harps in their last three games was conceding no goal and all those teams have as good or as dangerous forwards as Crossmolina have.

Elphin had 18 shots on goal to Crossmolina's 12 so their shooting efficiency on the day will be another regret and the last one was playing 10 minutes of the 2nd half with 14 men with needless black card. All adds up in a one point defeat.

Finally three Elphin players will be on the county panel in 2025 all selected by Davy and co before the Connacht campaign commenced.

Neutral view point on that Connacht Intermediate final.

Crossmolina the best team in opening 30 minutes as they led 0-6 to 0-1 and Elphin the best in the 2nd half as they out scored the Mayo champions 1-5 to 1-1.

Crossmolina only had one wide with the wind advantage to Elphin four wides with the wind 2nd half. In a one point loss the goal Crossmolina got can't be ignored either, if you are to concede a goal you at least make the opposition work hard for it, not only was it a misplaced pass by a Elphin defender but the goal scorer Niall Coggins left unmarked when turned over. I agree Elphin will have regrets but at the same time only themselves to blame for what was a very winnable Connacht final for them

Anyone know any word of Roscommons Allianz league fixtures and if there out yet, it's ridiculous nothing has come out.

But cavans and downs are out and from that we know we're playing Down first at home on the 26th of jan at 2pm then our 6th game is against cavan on the 15th or 16th of march.

Look they made mistakes all day but they were the same against harps the week before. Very sloppy and careless with the ball and when ya turn over the ball so easily ya don't deserve much. I said nobody on elphin team would have made an impression on burke but obviously Higgins will remain part of his plans and I do like Brady in goals.
