County Club championships 2011

Saw the Vincents - Plunketts match on Saturday.

The match itself looked to be a mouth watering fixture but the quality of football was dour to say the least.Connolly and Mossy the standout players for Vincents with Ruairi Traynor turning in a decent performance.

Plunketts midfield won it for them.McConnell got the better of the exchanges against Fennell while Bernard had a quiet day by his standards.Jayo and Bernard acted more to setup the scores.

Vincents defense was cack.The second goal was farcical.Something you wouldn't expect at this level.Time for Vincents to re-jig their defense.

Final score 2-09 to 1-09

In fairness, they've lost Paul Conlon to emigration and both Ger Brennan and Hugh Gill were out injured. Ger in particular makes a massive difference, especially at club level.

Galway hurling semi between Clarinbridge and Craughwell was abandoned due to the rain and will now be played on saturday. Winner meets Gort in the final the following Sunday.

Football final is in Tuam on Sunday. Corofin vs Tuam Stars. Neither will make any great impact in the Provincial/All-Ireland series. Galway club football is poor enough at the moment.

Clare hurling final sounds like it was a bit of a farce.

The Kilkenny senior county hurling final replay was won today by James Stephens, beating Ballyhale Shamrocks. The score was 1-20 to 0-15.

Eoin Larkin scored the goal. Jackie Tyrell and Colin Fennelly were sent off from either side during the match. It was a great match despite the poor-ish conditions. James Stephens got some fantastic long range scores in the 2nd half and deserved the victory. They also defended very strongly and kept Henry Shefflin very quiet.

Eoin Larkin was MOTM in my opinion, closely followed by Tomás Keogh and Philly Larkin.

G'wan the Village!

Corofin won the SFC final today against Tuam Stars on a scorline of 0-16 to 1-06

Also, the All-Ireland club champions, Clarinbridge, are in to the SHC final next Sunday against Gort after beating Craughwell by 0-18 to 0-13.

Good to see hurling on the up in the west of the county (which is a predominatly football area) as Moycullen won the Intermediate hurling final by 3 points over Killimorday. Scorline: Moycullen 2-10 Killimorday 0-13

Ballyboden St. Enda won the Dublin final against O'Toole's 3-12 to 0-9.

'Boden were by far the stronger and more skillful team, O'Toole's forwards were a bit sloppy with the accuracy, and their defence was all over the shop, particularly the full back line.

Great to see a bit of a mix up in the championship this year though, teams like St.Brigids and O'Toole's and Lucan Sarsfields providing a different style and excitement to the usual teams every year. A great year altogether for Dublin hurling.

Big boost for Kerry hurling yesterday,County Champions Ballyduff beat Courcey Rovers of Cork in the Munster Intermediate Club Championship,first time ever that a Kerry senior club has won a game in Munster.

Ballyboden v O'Tooles was a very poor game. On the evidence of that Dublin hurling has a bit to go yet. Neither team would have a hope in the Galway championship.

A fully fit Ballyboden would give anyone a good contest. they are streets ahead of anything else in Dublin buit to say that they wouldn't stand 'a hope' in Galway shows how little you know.

I agree Boden would be competitive in the Galway championship, so I was a bit harsh on them. But O'Tooles and most of the other teams woud be only be decent intermediate standard in Galway, or poor senior teams at best. That's the reality. Of course the fact our club championship is strong doesn't count for much at intercounty level when we keep promising alot and delivering nothing. But let's see how Ballyboden get on against James Stephens in the Leinster Final (I'm guessing that will probably be the final).

I wouldn't rule out Oulart the Ballagh just yet. Remember, James Stephens will have played 3 weekends in a row and they will also be without the suspended Jackie Tyrell. It could be as good a time as any to catch them on the hop and to stop them winning Leinster.

novel pairing in the Tipp senior football final as kingpins Moyle Rovers take on the combo side of Thomas McDonaghs.

Moyle Rovers missing Declan Browne for the final but would have Tipp seniors like Peter Acheson, Sean Carey and Brian Mulvihill.

Thomas McDonaghs are a North Tipperary combination of 9 clubs (although only around 5 clubs are represented in this years panel). thev been around for about 5 years and this is there 1st time in the final. have 2 county seniors in the form of Philip Austin and George Hannigan.

its great to see a north tipp team making the final as there is generally very little interest in football in north tipp. wouldnt be one bit suprised if McDonaghs win it and are great value at 9/4.

Effin beat Aherlow in the Munster Intermediate hurling semi-final with a last-minute goal. Great stuff for them.




And Monaleen have brought UCC to extra-time in the football...losing by a point at the moment, it's fairly tense.

Deserved win by Gort, can they go all the way?

All Ireland club football finalists St. Brigids (Roscommon) into the Connacht club final once again, beat Sligo champs Tourlestrane by 6 points.

They look a very good outfit, and play Corofin in the decider.

Corofin (Galway) pipped Mayo champs Balintubber by a point.

Wouldn't be surprised if they did, Galway teams have an excellent record in this competition.

I was at that match, Brigids had a very slow start and missed a couple of good chances. Tourlestrane are a handy enough outfit and played well for some parts of the match.

Brigids were weak at the back and took a while to wake up in midfield, if they play like that against Corofin they will lose. The final is on in a fortnight at Brigids home ground Kiltoom. Its supposed to be an advantage though some will tell you they play better away!

How can UCC play in AI club and not the likes of Kerry divisional teams?
