Club Championships 2025/2026

Ballyboden will have to go and buy another few players, delighted for them

What a win for Dingle. That was just brilliant.

The county lads really tore Boden apart from the 2nd half. Class players

Why did Paul Geaney not start? He looked (very) sharp when he came on.

Great game of football.

In my opinion the decisions are subjective or can you define "prompt and respectful manner". Can you give an approximate time limit by which the ball should be returned?

Should any allowance be made for a payer being on the ground with opposition falling over him?

I see no consistency in it's application and it largely is dependent on how quickly the opposition can jump on a player after the whistle is blown.

Again I dont really mind all of the above, there is a lot of subjectivity around the application of GAA rules, but getting 2 points is way too excessive a punishment for being deemed to be milliseconds too late in presenting the ball. Treated the same as if a forward with a scoring opportunity was hacked down 40 yards from goal.

I would be very confident this will change in the next review.

They have tinkered with them already and will again.

New rules have largely been great, that's not my problem. This rule has a punishment disproportionate to the crime and should be and I think will be tweaked.

Kieran Hughes is like a bull in a China shop at times.

Anthony Cunningham got old looking

Better chance of a one-sided hurling final than the football - can see Dingle pressing up on kickouts, Brigids keeper didn't look like an intercounty one

Some fantastic defending by them, McGrath, Trundle, the Stacks, really good defenders. Two wonderful blocks on the goal line in the 2nd half. One in the first half too, although wasn't sure if that was a foot block.

And as you say, not giving away any cheap fouls.

It'll take a good team to beat Brigid's.

If anyone was watching over the last 15 years, they are never too far away. I think Senan Kilbride has won 6 Connacht titles, as well as playing in a couple of finals. In fact, many of their biggest problems in recent years has been getting out of the Roscommon championship

Bridget's biggest asset today was discipline, they didn't give Beggan chances from soft long range frees and Scotstown were reduced to low % pot shots from distance that are hit and miss at the best of times.

Could be a good final, both squads are strong: Daingean may have a few more superstars but it was the more unsung players that made huge interventions today, the likes of Nugent, Trundle (who struggled at times) and both Conor Hand (who wasn't County standard in 2025 apparently) and Paul McGrath were again consistently good. Kickout would be a worry, Carroll was all over the shop in the last 20 minutes,missed his targets several times and resorted to punting it out on top of Beggan and Hughes late on.
