Time for one final poll on this year’s Senior club Championship, this time confined to the final two contenders. Ballina Stephenites have proved popular in the earlier polls run here on this topic. They were the third most popular choice when there were sixteen contenders in the field, they were the second most popular choice before the knockout stage began […]
Like last year, this year’s Moclair Cup decider will be a contest between the club that’s won the Senior county title more often than any other and a club that has yet to win it at all. Last year that meant a showdown between Ballina Stephenites and Westport and, while the Stephenites have made it back to a second successive […]
A feast of women’s football is scheduled for the Connacht GAA Centre of Excellence this coming Saturday. The Junior, Intermediate and Senior finals are all fixed for the East Mayo venue that day. The action gets underway at 12pm when Claremorris takes on St Brigid’s in the Junior A final. That’s followed by the Intermediate decider between MacHale Rovers and […]
The polls run here on the blog about the likely winners of this year’s Senior football Championship have been good fun. Castlebar Mitchels were the people’s choice in the first poll run before the action got underway but then in the second poll run after the group stages it was Westport who were favoured to go all the way and […]
The club Championships move to the knockout stage this coming weekend so in advance of the quarter-finals it’s an appropriate time, I reckon, to re-run the poll on who you think will end up with possession of the Moclair Cup at the end of next month. The last poll on this topic was undertaken when all sixteen clubs were in […]
The opening round fixtures in this year’s club Championships take place this coming weekend (full details and related info here) and so, ahead of the big throw-in, I thought it would be fun to have a quick poll. It makes sense to focus on the Senior Championship to gauge what the sentiment is like relating to thesixteen contestants at this […]
Right, it’s time to bring the voting on this one to an end and to declare the result. Which is that, with 33% of all votes cast, Jordan Flynn has been selected by you as our Player of the Year for 2023. Diarmuid O’Connor came second in the poll with 25%, followed closely by Aidan O’Shea on 23% and Ryan […]
As the 2023 inter-county year recedes into the past, there are a few housekeeping jobs here on the blog that remain to be done. One of them is the purpose of this post, which is to open the poll on our Player of the Year for 2023. It was, of course, a season of spring highs followed by bitter summer […]
So, despite both of them being pushed hard by Ulster opposition this weekend, it’s going to be a Kerry/Dublin final this year. Monaghan and, in particular, Derry made it hard going for their vaunted opponents but in both cases the favourites won out. This means that, for the first time since 2019, it’s a meeting of the game’s two biggest […]
We know all about the heady mixture of excitement and nervousness that comes with being one of the final four in the Championship but this year, for the second season in a row and for only the third time since 2010, the All-Ireland SFC semi-finals don’t feature us. If we were involved, we would, of course, have been fully focused […]
