Lavey or Crosskeys don’t have match lights. The only pitches with match lights are Templeport, Mullahoran or Cuchulainns I think.

Ah yes I forgot the evening's are fucked. Its down for Brefini but jesus I don't know, its down to rain until then.

Absolute farce in Breffni yesterday, how they thought it was a good idea to lump two masters games in there on Saturday on top of everything else with the weather we've had and what had been forecast over the weekend is beyond me. No effort was made to even try to have it ready either, it was only after the second inspection when they started to prong it with forks.

They also blocked a load of us from entering Breffni at 3:30pm - leaving us to stand outside in the rain, even though no decision had been made yet and there were already supporters in the ground.

I cannot see it being in any better condition on Tuesday given the rain that is coming today and tomorrow. If I was a betting man, I'd say it will be moved to Kingscourt. I hope they have some arrangements to reimburse people who bought tickets, mid week game may not suit people especially if it is moved to Kingscourt.

Gowna/Gaels on Saturday - Gaels were very wasteful, Gowna were ruthless. They are shaping up nicely for the semi finals.

You could see the pitch was starting to cut up during the Gaels Gowna game on Saturday evening, obviously with the heavy showers then the water started to pool on the pitch, that will get cleared for tomorrow but rain forecast at time of KO so won't take much for it to turn into a mess again. Clearly playing two Masters games on Saturday given the weather as everyone has alluded to was beyond stupid and now two more games to be played on it midweek before the junior and intermediate semi's in there this weekend.

Gaels were very poor on Saturday, was actually expecting them to make a game of it with Gowna but got destroyed on their own KO's and in the middle of the field, Gowna looked to be in 2nd gear for most of the second half.

Brandon Boylan has been solid for Crosserlough at half back. He has played in the forwards, but a good asset from half back with his pace. A player who would get starting for Cavan. Might not have the interest though.

Paul Fitz tweeted this yesterday at 4.30 after I had broken the story earlier that day about pointless Masters fixtures on our county ground yet we were told it couldn’t be used for juvenile finals…

Game going ahead.
But it has started to rain again...
Wisdom of playing two Masters finals on the pitch yesterday has to be questioned, especially when no U14 or U16 finals were permitted on it in recent weeks "to protect the pitch".

This was after he had previously “borrowed” my idea of the Senior championship being two groups of 4 and recommissioned my point re the juvenile finals not being in Breffni.

And that’s not even mentioning my world exclusive about our new county manager weeks back.

I should be getting referral fees here.

Cutting edge reports from Chris Kamara.

That was a poor game Ramor v Mullahoran..maybe cicumstamces of playing on a Tuesday had a part. 1- 11 by Ramor is low scoring with the new rules.

Mullahoran kicked that one away. So so many 2 point chances way wide, and then caught for the goal. Ultan O'Reilly looks a player though

rrs · 16-09-2025 09:56PM

Yeah Mullahoran were waseful. Ultan O Reilly was very impressive. County Minor last year.

Gowna have looked the best team from the quarter finals so far. Kingscourt have been going well and will be interesting to watch them tomorrow night.

piplip87 · 16-09-2025 10:46PM

Two very wasteful teams tonight. Ramor will need to find another gear and quickly.. Nothing I've seen in the Championship so far suggests that they could beat any of the other 3 (presuming Kingscourt win) in the next round.

Sacrificing Beanies running with the ball and general play around the middle worked well though. Cormac Rielly hardly had a sniff all night and frustration won over in the end..

There definitely is another gear or two though so all hope in not lost on Virgina

Akabusi · 17-09-2025 08:31AM

Poor enough game last night where defence was on top for both teams. Ramor will need to improve but in Enda Maguire and Conor Bradley they have too serious players. Mullahoran can be happy enough too, they have a young team and look to have a few players developing who can help Cormac O Reilly out.

Pitch held up well enough in the end but some rain last night. Is there any chance of tonight's game being moved?
