That's great you attend or live stream U20 or U17 games, the actual attendance figures and lack of discussion on this or any other Connacht county thread on here speaks for itself but blame me for it?

For the record this is the only forum I'm on and on it for over a decade with this one and only username. I suggest whatever issues you are having elsewhere you need address it directly.

As a neutral looking in that is bottom of the barrel stuff to be attacking one of your own and one of our most informed posters on here and dedicated supporters.

Not sure why you are so uptight after all his point on Connacht Underage group games isn't wrong, mainly famiily members of the players that attend. At 12€ a match to watch I wouldn't say the interest is high but credit to the Connnacht GAA for streaming every game, remember some big senior Division 1 games wasn't streamed this spring.

If things get worse or a solution is not found soon then playing or watching sports will be the least of our worries.

If your off it on a given day, the tier below can beat the tier above - no one is jumping 2 tiers though."
Meath are Tier 3 unless they win Leinster.
If you are using the League form they just about beat Cork and are certainly not 2 Tier's apart.

Replying To nadunta2025:  "What does progress look like from Westmeath, win Tailteann ? beating longford, step 1 anyway it will be difficult i think for 40- 50 mins but i expect westmeath to pull away. Play Meath if beat Meath it would be huge and a huge step forward cannot see it as Meath in top 6 teams in the country now. So we have to win Tailteann which means we have stayed stagnant since we last won tailteann or probably regressed?
We celebrated that cup and rightly so but for what ? we never kicked on."
Must win against Longford. Anything after that in Leinster is a free hit. Meath are levels above us at the moment but be great to have a one off game in O Connor park in 2 weeks.

Tailteann Cup is also a must win. If no shocks in the provinces we will be up against Offaly, Laois, Clare, Sligo and Wexford as favourites. No great shakes.

Only 4 lads remaining from the team that started 2022 Tailteann cup final. This is a completely new team and anything other than a win in this competition should be marked as a failure.

Jack Savage has been named in the New York panel ahead of their Connacht SFC quarter-final clash against Roscommon this Sunday night.

He won an All-Ireland medal with his native county Kerry in 2022.

Wicklow GAA thread - 1 Like(s)
The Minor match tonight was very entertaining and the epitome of a game of 2 halves. Wicklow were phenomenal in the 1st half and led 3-10 to 0-4 at the break. Carlow started the second half well but still a comeback didn't look on. They plugged away though and Wicklow just couldn't get hold of the ball. Carlow were now in total control and reeled off 2 pointers for fun. In fact were it not for Lucas Reid's two late points Wicklow were in serious trouble. Entering injury time Wicklow led by 5, 3-15 to 0-19. Carlow then scored a wonderful goal straight to the roof of the Wicklow net and had a brilliant chance to equalise. Alas for them the ball struck the outside of the post and their chance was gone. Worryingly for Wicklow, we were outscored 1-15 to 0-5 in that second half. Hard to know where we stand.

A good addition. Panel includes most that started against Galway last year and were competitive for 55 minutes then Galways fitness allowed them to win pulling up.

Listened to half of it so far. It's a very hard listen with Spillane constantly just repeating his same old rants, stories and regularly interrupting Michael Verney and Dick Clerkin. They had started the preview of the Connacht Championship and of course Spillane has to butt in and go off topic for nearly a good 10 minutes about his love of the provincial championships and the local rivalry.

Verney is an excellent host/presenter and Clerkin is very good also, but sorry I find Spillane hard to stomach anymore. Same old stories, opinions, rants the whole time and constantly talking over people. Brings nothing to the table and I honestly still to day can't understand why Indo Sport got him a pundit. The day of him drawing viewership is long over.

Does Anyone See Past Limerick Winning The Hurling All Ireland? - 1 Like(s)

Replying To bloodandbandage:  "I don't know if this will be the case TBH.

Two years ago they lost in a semi final, last year it was a QF. That's a downward trend that becomes very hard to reverse. I think as they go deeper into the competition the older legs with so much mileage may struggle, and no amount of mental prep can change that.

I don't see any reason why Tipp couldn't do back to back. I would have them as my favorites."
Limerick are bringing through good younger lads now though. I think realistically only 4 counties might win it at this stage and Id rank them as-
1- Limerick
2- Cork
3- Clare , but only if mostly fully fit.
4- Tipp

At the same time if some of the other counties can go on a run like Tipp did last year, which isnt as likely, they might see momentum carry them through. Its unlikely though.
