Although the county teams campaign has ended - as a previous poster has said its hard to know if clubs will have their full compliment of county players available given the grueling nature of last weeks games and as some may be gone on holidays etc. benbulbingael (Sligo) - Posts: 8 - 28/06/2024 17:31:02 2555441 Link 0 |
I would imagine the vast majority of players. Paul Towey played for charlestown the day after going out to Derry as well as Aidan OShea I believe. Our players have a week to recover, power on!

Good man, I had forgotten that some games are on this evening. There's a few lads from last Sunday's panel over in America by now, meaning that all they will play is maybe 4 or 5 games for the club for the whole year. I'm not against lads going over but surely fellas should be allowed play for their club alongside the Co team. Shamrock Gaels to beat Coolera. Molaise to beat Tubber Mary's to beat Coolaney Harps to beat Curry Tourlestrane to beat Calry. Div 2 Drumcliffe to beat Farnans Bunnies to beat Castleconnor Geevagh to beat Owenmore Gaels Enniscrone to beat Pat's Easkey to beat Ballymote . eoinog (Sligo) - Posts: 1861 - 28/06/2024 18:39:34 2555453 Link 0 |
One or two surprises the weekend. Drumcliffe and enniscrone favs for div 2 final. The relegation battle is heating up with 3 points separating 6 teams. Easkey and ballymote was postponed and could have a big bearing in a few weeks time.

From what I've heard, a number of players have departed their clubs to America for the summer. Does anyone have a full list? johncreilly (Sligo) - Posts: 69 - 02/07/2024 08:59:51 2556426 Link 0 |
Transfer deadline was end of June I think so it should appear on the gaa website in next few days. Jack Lavin, Cian Lally and Eoghan Smith are 3 I've heard so far.

Nice to see your ego get put its in place. Great reply from Sean Stagg. As said by many, county players from smaller clubs can be a catalyst for greater days ahead and can inspire more commitment and it hopefully goes that way for Balymote. I presume the Lavin playing for the minors is his younger brother, he impressed me this year too so they have plenty to build on. You call yourself no snowflake but you get very sensitive on any construction criticism of McEntee. It is interesting that you say you could take the easy and popular option and slate McEntee, so you are saying you are in the minority? I believe my own analysis has been fair on him. You've never debated any of the key constructive measurables of a intercounty manager. You can say you are not but you are close to McEntee. You give yourself self congratulations for predicting the u20s demise this year, they drew with Roscommon and beat Mayo in Castlebar. Your attitude of screw anyone who has misplaced belief in that group this year, is that really something to flex about? No Sligo person should be mocked or derided for having belief in a Sligo team on here or anywhere. People are allowed to dream. Nothing about your post on Balymote or Keelan Cawley (who has been a warrior for Sligo in over 100 matches and put his body on the line) was fun, banter or craic. You said the other week anyone who analyses the Down game was a yob. Totally uncalled for. Of course you'd like to shutdown any mistakes management made on the match up on Havern which by the way most Sligo people know Cummins is not a man marker but even after Tierney last year management hadn't learned. Cummins plays ahead of the ball and rarely provides cover which he why he looks so good on the attack. Not hindsight. The other mistake is the role of Kilcoyne as a extra defender. He was late to nearly every press on Down scorers right through the middle. He needs to improve his timing of the press, positioning and reading of the game. I think we could mould better players in those positions on the defensive side. I believe that would be constructive for the team. Your last flex of predicting club games, let me get you a trophy for that lol. Sligonian (Sligo) - Posts: 1693 - 02/07/2024 20:48:36 2556607 Link 1 |
At this stage it's probably easier to name the clubs that haven't players gone to the States. One lad was very unfortunate to pick up a bad injury in his first week and I think he is home again. It's unlikely that all the players will be back in time for the start of the championship so some players who were on the Sligo panel may only play 3 or 4 games this year for their club. If they were on the extended panel it's worse as they weren't playing league games with their club. This is very concerning and needs to be addressed . I'm all for lads going to America but the Co Board need to sit down with the management and find a solution

Hi, There are players from Curry, St.Marys,Eastern Harps, Ballymote, Shamrock Gaels and Drumcliffe gone travelling. That's all that I am aware of .

You can add Tourlestrane to the list.

I don't see a definitive list anywhere. As far as I remember, there used to be a live one, or am I wrong on that? That is a huge blow for Drumcliffe considering their Championship draw. Will they even make it back for round one? Any other moves as high profile as Lally? Lavin going obviously a big blow to Ballymote but I'd imagine he would be back for the business end of a junior championship.

Who is gone out of interest? The thing with Tour is that in other years they could get away with it as they likely had bigger panels and less talented opposition but as with Drumcliffes situation, it's a quite strong group. At least the North Sligo men have a bye in round 1 which is a help for lads away.

O Donnell is abroad on an internship.. not too sure the exact date that he will return. Smith and Lally were denied transfers. There's a few from Mary's not on that list that's also gone.

Wins this evening for eoinog (Sligo) - Posts: 1861 - 06/07/2024 16:58:32 2557235 Link 0 |
A decent attempt in fairness Eoinog. League taking shape as players start to return. Molaise are becoming so consistent and seem destined for yet another league final (if it's not already confirmed). Harps seem to be the only ones who could stop Tourlestrane joining them as they play this weekend. C/M beating Tubbercurry means it's likely Tubber will finally drop into divsion 2. They face Mary's on the second last day and will need a victory to stand any chance. Calry barring a miracle are gone. It looks to be the same for St. Farnans in the Division 2. Their loss to Castleconnor means they realistically need to win all remaining games to survive. Seems unlikely with no win to their name. The second relegation spot is now open and seems to be between Ballymote, Castleconnor, St. Pats and Bunninadden. Really could go any way at this point. At the top, it seems Drumcliffe and Enniscrone have all but sealed their places in the league final. Credit to Ennsicrone. It's been some time since they played Division 1 football so I'd imagine this big step for that group. Division 3 is interesting in that Cloonacool and Molaise are likely to be promoted but would Molaise come up or request to stay down there as they did after promotion last year? If Ballymote or another ended up in the second relegation spot from division 2, could they feel aggrieved? Anyway, plenty to play for over the next couple of weeks. johncreilly (Sligo) - Posts: 69 - 08/07/2024 12:50:43 2557681 Link 0 |
Terrible sad news from Easkey with the passing of Brendan Mc Grath. Heartbreaking for his wife, children and their extended families. R.I.P. eoinog (Sligo) - Posts: 1861 - 10/07/2024 11:58:48 2558188 Link 2 |
Echo this, terribly sad to hear the news of Brendan McGrath. What a legacy he leaves in Easkey as such a stalwart on and off the field. We were so lucky to have him in Sligo GAA. Deepest condolences to all his family and to the Easkey GAA community. republican (Sligo) - Posts: 338 - 10/07/2024 14:09:20 2558214 Link 1 |
RIP Brendan and sincerest condolences to his family, friends, and Easkey teammates on his tragic passing. By all accounts, a true gael, and a real club man. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
