Replying To CARPS: "Mullins don't have a lot coming up, and my concern is that our two and a half team championship could soon become a one-team and two halves championship. Bagenalstown have a lot of young talent, but they find it hard to transition their better underage players to being consistent adult performers.
It'll be interesting to see how MLR get on in Leinster now without the excuse of the two months off, and football in between." I would agree, could see Rangers turning into a ballygunner esc side…

MLR were definitely the sharper side in the SHC final which was a good game but SM will rue getting so close and level and then missing that great chance when a bit of composure was needed. Interesting to see how MLR do now in Leinster. Tough draw but they're in great physical condition and when Chris is in the kind of form he was the other night they could beat anyone on their day. They'd need at least 3 good days to win another Leinster though but the timing of the finish to this years championship should suit them.
Very good second half performance for CTHC and a fully deserved win in the IHC. I think BR definitely need at least another year in intermediate and the notion of both teams being promoted to senior to even it up at 8 teams can be put to bed I think. They will get there as they are young enough and more young players are coming but next year is too soon for senior. If they can improve more they should win the IHC next year but likes of MLR second team will still be a good test for them. Going into senior now would set them back more I think. CTHC will have their work cut out but can target a couple of games next year for wins and even one win, like NB this year, would be progress. Again the young players are coming for CTHC but they just need to hang in there now for a few years at senior and they can be back as contenders by the end of the decade.
I was out in Fenagh this evening for the Minor Div 1 semi final. Brilliant game between Btown and Eire Og. The YIs are highly rated this year at minor but they were second best tonight with the town the better team over the whole team. Eire Og still won of course :( with a typical goal with the very last kick of the game. Fierce hard on Bagenalstown. Fair play to both teams though there's a lot of talent there and both teams served up as high a standard of minor football as I've seen in a while. Pal with Mark Buggy still minor will take all the beating in the final though. A big win in their semi tonight v last years champions St Martins. That minor final in a few weeks EO v Pal will be worth watching.
