Corofin in their pomp drew 2 finals against MM and Tuam and neither team were a patch on this MM team. TheBishop (Galway) - Posts: 289 - 17/11/2021 09:30:32 2389726 Link 1 |

Great wins by Mountbellew and Naomh Anna Leitir Moir. Mountbellew will go on to win Connaught, couple of good displays on Naomh Anna side also. Potential for players from both teams to be included in intercounty panel next year. Galway_1972 (Galway) - Posts: 13 - 17/11/2021 17:34:50 2389784 Link 0 |

You would have to expect something from Claregalway in the next few years. Seems to be a conveyor belt of talent in recent years. Winning both minor A and B this year is an unbelievable achievement. Am I correct in saying that they have never won a senior county title? fearruanua (Galway) - Posts: 367 - 18/11/2021 08:46:58 2389807 Link 0 |

Potential , yes. However you have to review this in the context of the gap from club senior to inter county not to mention the gap from club intermediate to inter county which is a completely different story. A case could be made for most of the players on Mountbellew team to be drafted in , and I would expect that they would not be out of place but in reality the important thing is that the ones that the ones that will add real value at inter county level are brought in from ALL clubs. In Mtbellew's case I would contend that the MUST HAVEs are Eoin Finnerty . Michael Daly, Patrick Kelly and John Daly.

Correct, but it's not that surprising. They weren't a very big club until fairly recently. With the movement of people to the 'satellite' villages surrounding Galway over the last couple of decades, the effects can be seen in recent underage results. Claregalway and Moycullen in football, Oranmore/Maree now in hurling. Other villages close to Galway competing well also.

How many hurling clubs are Claregalway pulling from?

Most people care about the small clubs. Yourself and myself benefit from our clubs having growing populations. Be grateful no need dismiss the small clubs as surplus to requirements.

They'd always have been getting a contingent of Carnmore players. I'd say they get some from Turlough too. Someone more local to that side might be able to give some more detail.

It was a great achievement but it will be very interesting to see how many continue to play football they have lads from carnmore turloughmore and castlegar who will almost certainly concentrate on hurling this has been their problem over the last few years

Apologies Belclare No CB don't care but I don't think they care much about any of the clubs. Corofins success was generated from a healthy population but mainly massive input and commitment from people within the club . CB deserve no credit for them galwayfball (Galway) - Posts: 1704 - 18/11/2021 12:38:56 2389857 Link 0 |

I thought MM goal in the final was exceptional. What stood out was the strength of MM players working it up the sideline. Not a hope of pushing them out over the line. And Michael Daly laying it on a plate for Finnerty. Very composed play which in the past I would have expected him to blast it himself.

They pull from Carnmore, Turlough and even Castlegar to a lesser extent. This was never an issue to others until their population boom and now they have the potential to turn into a mega club. To be fair, most Turlough and Cashel lads that play with Claregalway wont be seen after minor, and I think that is fair to say for most of their top minors as well. They have other interests. But they seem to be retaining a lot more recently and best of luck to them. Their underage structures and admin are excellently ran. You can have all the population/players you want but what Claregalway are doing behind the scenes is seriously credible.

He is from Cregmore, so should be playing with Claregalway really but obviously Turlough is a hurling club so they can pick who they play football for. And his father/uncle/cousins play with Corofin. His sister plays with Claregalway.

It is proving difficult to keep track of the plethora of mistakes from this poster. Safe to assume everything is a mistake going forward.
