Yes, I blushed when I saw that the game was played yesterday evening. I thought it was on this evening. In my defense I had it posted much earlier but it just wasn't posted until long after the game was over. My prediction for today's game was good if I may say so myself. Harp's a lot of young players gave it a good shot but the experience of Marys came through in the end. eoinog (Sligo) - Posts: 2513 - 18/07/2026 19:08:29 2686195 Link 0 |

Times and venues out for round 1 & 2 of championship which is welcome. Some of the choices of venues though are very strange to say the least. benbulbingael (Sligo) - Posts: 13 - 20/07/2026 20:59:33 2686424 Link 0 |

Unfortunately this is all too common for championship due to some clubs being well looked after and others almost punished. Coolera and Drumcliffe in Keash is ridiculous. Equally watch you'll see Castleconnor and Enniscrone won't have to travel too far across the Ox Mountains anytime and the one time Enniscrone do it's to play Farnans in Curry! Surely that was a game for Easkey or Castleconnor. The powers that be must be very jealous of the World Cup organisers where they could drag teams across three countries.

I think the idea some clubs are being looked after doesn't hold water. Farnans and Pats going to cloonacool to play each other is a bit mad. Castleconnor are going to Tour to play Curry in round 2. Lets see what the rest of the fixtures turn out to be before we pass judgement.

I have seen worse fixtures other years. Some clubs not making their pitch available certainly doesn't make it easy. Good to see Collooney getting a game. The bunnies have a bit of a spin for their game but bringing Coolera and Drumcliffe to Keash is just madness. Drumcliffe have to go through Sligo town on a Friday evening. eoinog (Sligo) - Posts: 2513 - 21/07/2026 12:49:12 2686483 Link 0 |

There are clubs given games for the sake of having a game in their venue, and yes I know not all clubs give up their pitch but it still could be handled better. Keash is a great spot fair play to the club for doing up their facilities but it's only good for a game that makes sense, the opening game is one that makes none whatsoever . Castleconnor playing Curry in Tourlestrane is a sensible venue, but why do Bunninadden have to play Enniscrone in Castleconnor…last year Calry were dragged out west for several games which made no sense at all. I think you'll see those two clubs won't stray too far either side of the Ox mountains. As for Farnans and Pats Cloonacool isn't totally ludicrous as it's a similar journey for both. If Easkey isn't available there's not much choice. Tourlestrane going Sligo to play Shamrock Gaels, Drumcliffe playing Easkey in Tubber two other examples of places getting games that don't make much sense Perhaps if those who make the shots see these posts they might make amends but it's been going on for years.

What clubs are not making their pitches available? Obviously a small number do not have sufficient boundary fences etc. - and they would not have hosted games in recent years in any case.
