Mayo senior final: Ballina v Knockmore Sat 7pm Inter final: Crossmolina v Moy Davitts Sun 2:30pm I've a sneaky feeling Knockmore will upset the odds again. Crossmolina for the intermediate just about. Both games live on Mayo GAA tv. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11409 - 24/10/2024 08:36:27 2576643 Link
I see Daingean are favourites, marginally, to beat Crokes in Kerry final. I had thought they'd be odds against after club championship? Hope they do it. I reckon they'd give All Ireland a rattle. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3120 - 24/10/2024 12:33:20 2576694 Link
Replying To BarneyGrant: "I see Daingean are favourites, marginally, to beat Crokes in Kerry final. I had thought they'd be odds against after club championship? Hope they do it. I reckon they'd give All Ireland a rattle." Probably off the back of their win over East Kerry who were storing favourites. I'd have Crokes as slight favourites. The weight of history will be heavy enough for Daingean, but I'd love to see them do it. WanPintWin (Galway) - Posts: 2187 - 24/10/2024 13:57:47 2576713 Link

The weight of history will be heavy enough for Daingean, but I'd love to see them do it." Crokes beat them relatively comfortably. They were flying last year but were ultimately caught out by playing something like 11 games in three months. Have seen them a few times when down and hopefully things come together for them this time. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3120 - 24/10/2024 15:18:59 2576730 Link

Dingle seem to be the slight favourites. Having knocked out East Kerry and represented Kerry last year, it's a big opportunity for them to deliver. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 8287 - 26/10/2024 11:34:51 2576995 Link
Replying To Saynothing: "A different winner every year is part of the problem. When a team can win up to 10 county finals in a row it gives them a winning mentality. Celebrating is more important when it's a rare thing." Celebrating right ok, Surely if there not county winners every year all the more reason to knuckle down and give Ulster a good go dont you think germac (Down) - Posts: 555 - 26/10/2024 19:27:00 2577069 Link
Replying To germac: "Celebrating right ok, Surely if there not county winners every year all the more reason to knuckle down and give Ulster a good go dont you think" I get what your saying,but tyrone teams seem to put in so much effort to win the championship,they celebrate and get hungover for ulster. Suppose it's because God knows when they could win another one TalkToFahy (Tyrone) - Posts: 26 - 27/10/2024 15:37:58 2577154 Link
Replying To germac: "Celebrating right ok, Surely if there not county winners every year all the more reason to knuckle down and give Ulster a good go dont you think" It's called the joy of winning a final and honestly I would prefer to see lads delighted at winning it once in a blue moon than become robots about winning Ulster,Connacht,Munster or Leinster.Look at Cuala and Na Fianna and Pearses in Roscommon.That is what GAA is about.The joy you bring your community and the wider GAA community in the county.Cappataggle and Loughrea and hurling final and will do Galway hurling the world of good rather than Thomas winning another All Ireland.And don't get me wrong the likes of St Thomas and Corofin are brilliant but nothing is more exciting than seeing new teams coming through.

Dr Crokes beat Dingle in today's Kerry Senior County final. 3 goals by Crokes turned the game around in the second half. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 8287 - 27/10/2024 15:59:04 2577162 Link
Replying To TalkToFahy: "I get what your saying,but tyrone teams seem to put in so much effort to win the championship,they celebrate and get hungover for ulster.

I Dont think i would call them robots , these are lads who just want to be the best they can be, Surely it has to be a great thing for any club to go and win a province or an All Ireland , would that not give the community and the wider GAA in that county an even bigger lift , and in your words once in a blue moon germac (Down) - Posts: 555 - 27/10/2024 20:10:14 2577252 Link
Replying To germac: "I would say Errigals focus has just gone up a notch now that Glen are out and an Ulster final apperance could well be on the cards" Yeah I agree. Glen getting beat will raise alot of eyebrows for errigal and the rest of the clubs left TalkToFahy (Tyrone) - Posts: 26 - 27/10/2024 20:30:37 2577258 Link
Only the Limerick SFC winner to be confirmed in Munster. November 10 quarter-finals Éire Óg v Fr Casey's or Adare Dr Crokes v Castlehaven November 24 semi-finals Loughmore-Castleiney v Éire Óg or Fr Casey's or Adare Rathgormack v Dr Crokes or Castlehaven Loughmore-Castleiney are double football and hurling champions in Tipperary. Something they've achieved 3 times in the last 11 years. Some going in fairness! legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 8287 - 27/10/2024 20:45:29 2577260 Link

It's a quick turnaround for Errigal Ciaran following their Tyrone triumph. The profile of this weekend's provincial club action seems low enough. Would have thought with the split season that the profile of these games might increase. They are more of a Champions championship than the Champions League! UEFA's Champions League music would be more appropriate for the GAA's club champions championships! :-D If the GAA did Champions League!: https://youtu.be/7CgIP41dxjY?si=mBjt1YE6NOxmdLg5 legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 8287 - 02/11/2024 12:09:51 2577937 Link
SATURDAY 2 NOVEMBER Ulster Club SFC first round Errigal Ciaran (Tyrone) 0-12 St Eunans (Donegal) 0-10, O'Neills Healy Park. Good win for Errigal live on RTE. They march on to take on Erin's Own, Cargin of Antrim in the quarter-finals next weekend. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 8287 - 02/11/2024 21:36:53 2578018 Link
SUNDAY 3 NOVEMBER Leinster Club SFC first round Dunshaughlin (MH) 2-4 St Lomans (WH) 2-16, Pairc Tailteann St Mary's Ardee (LH) 3-14 Abbeylara (LD) 2-8, DEFY Pairc Mhuire, Ardee Portarlington (LS) 0-10 Tinahely (WW) 2-5, Laois Hire O'Moore Park Limerick SFC Final Adare 1-10 Fr. Casey's 0-8, Mick Neville Park Sligo SFC Final replay Coolera-Strandhill 0-8 St. Molaise Gaels 0-7, Markievicz Park Today's results. Big win for St Lomans in Leinster. Tinahely pulled off a shock in Laois. Ardee are through to the quarter-finals as well. Limerick don't give their county champions much opportunity to prepare for Munster. Just like Doon, Adare off the back of their county success today will be in Munster action next week. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 8287 - 03/11/2024 17:35:42 2578166 Link

Dr. Crokes will be looking at making home advantage count against the defending champions. The Limerick county board have unkindly only given Adare a week to prepare for the Munster quarter-final. Doon were in the same boat in hurling. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 8287 - 08/11/2024 18:25:38 2578980 Link
