I think the papers and then personnel built ballinamere up a lot, in fairness though on paper they should be doing better.

Going back to last year they drew with birr, first game so wouldn’t make too much of it, but a real 50:50 game that could have gone anyway. Not sure of the order but got across ...

I think the long year with colleges/ Offaly are having an effect on Ballinamere. Being without these players meant a poor league and are probably short 2-3 players to win a championship. This along with the fact that most are duel players with durrow is having an effect, now Durrow play rhode next ...

Can’t comment on the match but I really do think they should give promoted teams a 2 year stay, tullamore could be playing senior b this year but have instead driven on which from a neutral is fantastic. They have a good blend of youth and lads with a good few miles on the clock.

If kk weren’t in ...

Looking at one large bookmaker, kk are 1/4, coolderry are next favourites at 5/1 and then ballinamere, rynaghs and birr at 16/1.

Ballinamere at 16/1 looks too good a price to turn down, how are coolderry at 5/1 also.

Well done all today on winning. It wasn’t pretty and nerves and weather did have a major influence. The result is all that matters.

Enjoy the well earned break and the experience of this year should stand to all.

If he has left the panel then all I say is hopefully he joins it for 2026. Do I think we would have won the Joe Mcdonagh without him, I doubt it. When offaly were at the lowest kiely came back and gave everything to the jersey.

The level of time and commitment now given is crazy, add in ...

Providing how Wexford do in other matches, if we beat Wexford and Antrim beat us it will go to scoring difference providing all teams lose to kk, Galway and Dublin.

I was trying to look at how it went so wrong yesterday, was it just a case of we had a bad day or did Galway just click into gear.

I think management have to put their hands up, our back line was under serious pressure and getting absolutely roasted. Could a sweeper have been played, a sideline on ...

The two goals before half time changed the whole game and second half was easily managed by Galway.

Overall thought we were second best in a lot of areas, marking was poor and a Galway man in loads of spaces with no one around him multiple times.

On the positive note in 4-5 weeks time we should ...

Duggan has a capacity of 3k, got my ticket already just to be sure.

5-6 weeks before the knockout begins but topping that group, getting a direct route to the semi finals and being on opposite sides of the draw with winner of other group will be advantageous.

For such a small county we must be ...

Fantastic to get promotion, that was the objective and division 2 will be a step up but one that we shouldn’t feel out of place in. Are Louth, Meath, Kildare to be feared?

As for the game today it was all about getting a result, nothing else mattered. Clare were always going to throw everything at ...

Absolutely fabulous result, played as good as I have seen them and to have the massive crowd there to witness it made it even better.

Keith o Neill was injured and could barely run for a few minutes before coming off, I thought leavy did well when he came on and steadied the ship.

Cormac Egan was ...

Never forget being in the Upper Cusack when Padraig Kelly had the chance to win with the last kick of the game, we were all sure it was over but tailed off.

Leitrim have given Fermanagh a bye due to not having enough fit outfield players and an u20 match midweek.

I know it was head to head if 2 teams were joint and scoring difference if there were 3 or more. Will it go to score difference between only the teams affected now and basically scrap all ...

Opening round victory against Galway and a follow up against Laois means a direct entry to the semi final on the 14th of may, lose and we come second in group results in a QF on the 5th May and an extra match to worry about.

The biggest problem we have is if the u20s reach the Leinster final on ...
