Lettermore 4

I'm predicting either a Salthill or a Maigh Cuillin shock.

Oughterard could do it.

Mountbellow Moylough to dominate Maigh Cuillin midfield. Their goalie still not tested. Some of their influencial players injured. Will Dessie and cooke play?"
Corofin by 10+ I'm afraid. It could get ugly if they get an early goal or two.
Salthill by 6+
Claregalway to edge Annaghdown
Could improving Mountbellew shock Moycullen? Give them a greater chance if it was in Tuam. Hard to bet against the house in this case though.

Corofin 0-10 to 0-2 lead at half time and ended up winning 0-15 to 1-6.

Claregalway going to rue missing a great chance to reach the semis, maybe for the first time? Conor Flaherty was superb at full-forward for them, but dropped one short, wind-aided, when they led by 2 in the closing minutes. Later, they messed up when in possession coming out of defence; Annaghdown got the turnover and Comer - who else? - kicked a superb 2-pointer to level. Pressed up on the kickout, forced the turnover, and got the winner. Very harsh on Claregalway who made a lot of the running throughout. Goalkeeper McGrath will be no. 1 for Galway next season.

CG lost two of their starting half backs who were playing very well.

Has anyone the starting teams from today? The radio said Cillian McDaid didn't play for Monivea-Abbey.

Anyone know when the Galway minor trials are taking place for 2027 season? They typically happen the Oct/Nov time.

Moycullen showed what they are about today, 21 point winners v Mountbellew/Moylough. For me very much the team to beat in Galway and Connacht this autumn/winter.

The senior championship has gone more or less according to plan this weekend, with Salthill-Knocknacarra, Corofin and Moycullen all doing what most people expected them to do.

Claregalway on the other hand, have let a huge opportunity slip this weekend. They got arguably the most favourable draw of the four teams they could have faced, went into the game with almost everyone fit and available compared to previous years, and still could not get over the line.

You would have to wonder when a better opportunity to reach a senior semi-final is going to come around. We have heard plenty of "Claregalway is coming" over the last 10 years, but at some stage that has to be backed up when the big opportunity presents itself.

This weekend would leave you wondering whether they really have the mettle to make that breakthrough. Everything seemed to be in their favour, yet when the chances were there, and the pressure came on, they came up short again.

I think most on here saw it as 50/50 game beforehand and that's how it panned out. I didn't check the odds beforehand, but I'd say they were very tight. It was a great opportunity for both teams to make a semi-final, as they were avoiding the big 3.
I can't see Annaghdown or Claregalway if they had made it through, troubling Corofin, Salthill or Maigh Cuilinn.
Claregalway have a long way to go yet, so it's not really as if they let a shot at a county title slip by. Where they finished is about their level at the moment.
I haven't heard anyone saying they're coming. Anyone who follows Galway football will know the level of their squad at the moment. I wouldn't expect them to be much better next year either. The big 3 all have a good chunk of current and former county players. Annaghdown and Claregalway don't have that quality of player in those kind of numbers.
