So that proves what I just said. It doesn't guarantee success. Roscommon had a good run of minor teams over the years and they didn't make a massive progression.

Minor level is even harder to make the step up. U-21 success helps however you need the right management team and systems in place to make progress at senior level, Mayo are doing that Galway are not.

O'Connor won't be back for the Connacht final anyhow. No real surprise there I suppose - http://www.irishexaminer.com/breakingnews/sport/mayos-oconnor-unlikely-to-be-back-for-connacht-final-599187.html

Bit early to be making those pronositcations when the average age of our panel is 23. We were starting from a far lower point than Horan was or Galway were at in 2002-05 during their first spate of U21 AIs.

In farness around 7 of those All Ireland winners was part of 2010 Connacht team and ran Mayo within two points the following year. They were improving under Fergal O'Donnell and have gone down hill since he left.

Last round of the group stages of the club championship is this weekend!

Already qualified and into the quarter finals are:

Group A: Castlebar Mitchels.
Group B: Ballintubber & Ballina Stephenites.
Group C: Charlestown.
Group No places decided yet!

The big games this weekend are:

Group A
Breaffy v Davitts (will decide if Breaffy go through ahead of Crossmolina, while defeat for Davitts will put them in the relegation playoffs.)
Verdict: BREAFFY

Group B
Shrule/Glencorrib v Claremorris (the loser of this will enter the relegation playoffs)
Verdict: SHRULE/GLENCORRIB (home advantage to make the difference, just.)

Group C
Westport v Knockmore (winner will go through to the quarter finals, game of the weekend)
Verdict: WESTPORT (Knockmore dont seem to be the force they once were, Westport unlucky not to be already through)

Group D - All 4 places still to be decided
Ballaghaderreen v Ballinrobe
Verdict: BALLAGH' (hard to see past the champions here, Ballinrobe have some injury worries and it looks bleak for them)

Garrymore v Aghamore
Verdict: DRAW (very very hard to pick a winner here)

Anything could happen in this group.

It stands currently:
Ballagh 3pts
Garrymore 2 pts
Ballinrobe 2pts
Aghamore 1 pt

Just seen a comment on green and red that Dillon is out for the rest of the campaign due to a groin injury . Anyone know if its true ? He certainly did not look right against Ross and did not play club championship after that I think. Would be a big big blow for our hopes it's almost as if we are cursed 😱

I was talking to a few locals in Ballintubber last weekend and they were saying that they're was no way he was fit, it was a longer term niggling injury and they were very pessimistic about his future for 2013, so I would not be surprised if he was out for the year

Big blow if he is out,he was well below par thus far,certainly had the appearance of been injured.

Totally agree he never looked right in both matches and possibly had his worst game in a long time against Ross, It will be a massive loss for the season

Possible half forward line of Carolan Feeney Mcloughlin, or would Horan think about dropping Seamy O Shea into centre forward when and if Barry Moran returns

It's a blow alright if true. Dillion is a big player for us especially when we enter Croke Park, we will miss him in that playmaker role that he provides.
Andy Moran is the obvious replacement. Our season will hinge on whether Andy and Cillian O'Connor can get back to a level of fitness that can help us next next Month. Also need to get Conroy and B.Moran fully fit.

naughto

i dont think he out for the rest of the champship but he is def struggling with an injury that he picked up in a club game,awhile back you could see it in the ross game that he was no way fit

Conroy played tonight going by his twitter.

I'd put Andy Moran in there with Feeny and McLoughlin for the London game at least and for the QF depending on the opposition, Andy could do with the game time and feeney should be ok against poorer opposition, however if your QF opposition are
going to be tough then they have a real problem in the middle.
But saying that I'm sure they have had time to consider what they would do if Dillon was not going to be 100%

SomethingElse

Did Dillon not play for the club? I had heard he had a great game but maybe they were mistaken?!

Always_Running

I think Dillion played rumours untrue.

MaroonAndGreen

Davitts and Tourmakeady are the first teams to enter the relegation playoff.

davitts played breaffy in davitts Conroy was a class ahead of any one that was on the field.breaffy still won tho

Rest easy lads, the Dillon rumours are untrue he had a good game yesterday with 2 points to boot. And if you need further proof, here you go http://www.ballintubbergaa.com/index.php/news/results

So its Castlebar, Breaffy, Ballina, Ballintubber, Charlestown, Westport, Garrymore and Ballaghaderreen through to the quarter finals.

While Davitts, Shrule/Glencorrib, Tourmakeady and Aghamore will battle relegation.

Things were very close in Group B at the bottom, with Shrule/Glencorrib finishing behind Claremorris on points difference only after they drew this evening!

While in Group D Aghamore can count themselves unlucky, as can Ballinrobe who would have progressed if they had beaten Ballaghaderreen, but their 20 points were somehow only enough for a draw!
