2-16 v 0-17 was the final score in the intermediate game, well done Fr. O'Neills

ShamoBuc · 24-11-2019 4:00pm

Fine goal, draw now, game on!

conor05 · 24-11-2019 4:01pm

Ballygunner doing their very best to throw this game away.

20 stick passes up the field to get a score.

ShamoBuc · 24-11-2019 4:02pm

Great score by Maher, coming onto the ball like a train.

ShamoBuc · 24-11-2019 4:06pm

Absolutely no one marking him at all, awful defending.

elefant · 24-11-2019 4:18pm

Pearse's completely lost their heads in the Connacht football final. Terrible discipline.

ShamoBuc · 24-11-2019 4:19pm

Most enjoyable game, 9/2 was a nice price for the Tip lads.

100%, behaving like a minor team

Mantis Toboggan · 24-11-2019 4:22pm

Savage win for Borris.

Brendan Maher outstanding

castletownman · 24-11-2019 4:33pm

Very entertaining second half that. Maher really thundered into the game and showed the leadership he has carried all through all year. They totally switched off for the crossfield pass for Ballygunner's goal though, and would have rued that if they went on to lose. Number 7 played well for Borris. Mahony was anonymous for Ballygunner, and they really seem to be the Mayo of Munster club hurling. What's with the chicken during the trophy presentation?

It's mad how a game could be so entertaining in wet conditions. I have always been led to believe down in Wexford here that the game cannot be played in rainy conditions, on long grass or under floodlights

Their mascot. Linked to the rooster on their crest.

Just over a year since their grounds were nearly swallowed by a sinkhole, Magheracloone of Monaghan won the Ulster Intermediate Club Football championship by beating Galbally of Tyrone 1-15 to 0-13.

Look, the ideal format that suits everyone is a complete open draw.

However I just can't see that happening anytime soon

I'd say the one that suits everyone
...don't be existin' & never will. Open draw is better than most but nothing is simple in GAA not even the simplest things.

The weather is really ruining the Leinster final. Eire og scored 3 points in the space of a minute and that has been it with regards scoring for 22 minutes although Ballyboden have just scored their first point. Even the camera is blurry due to the wet on the lenses.

Bonniedog · 08-12-2019 3:38pm

If Éire Óg continue to concede frees this game could be over pretty quickly.

08-12-2019 3:40pm

I just hope it dries off a bit for the second half.

wirelessdude01 · 08-12-2019 4:07pm

Ballyboden number 4 is having a worker of a game.

Bonniedog · 08-12-2019 4:26pm

Good game to watch despite the conditions.

MDM redeemed himself at the end but losing the free and he back pass might have proven fatal! His habit of pushing lads in the chest is getting to be a bit tiresome at this stage.

blowitupref · 08-12-2019 4:38pm

That was a Late late rally that won it for the Dublin champions, from no score in 18 mins to 0-3 in the final 3 mins of the game. A heartbreak for the Carlow champions who died with their boots on.

08-12-2019 4:39pm

Was poacher there with Éire Óg?

He doesn’t have anything to do with them?

Ok?

I don’t know what he looks like but I heard a nordy fella interviewed and was wondering was it him.

Bonniedog · 08-12-2019 5:39pm

That was O'Neill the selector.

That's Gerry McGill, he is a selector. From Donegal originally, but works in Carlow. He played for Eire Og and Carlow a few years ago too. Poacher never had anything to do with Eire Og or any Carlow clubs.

The GAA needs to winterise a couple of provincial grounds if they want decent club games in December. Is it just Croke Park and Thurles that have sem synthetic playing surfaces? From experiences at both grounds, the likes of Portlaoise and Castlebar need it badly. Portlaoise playing surface looked in very poor condition on the television. Especially around both 20 metre areas.

What’s semi synthetic? Croker has state of the art drainage and heating but don’t think Senple even has those, wasn’t it in an awful state earlier this year. In fairness the conditions in Portlaoise were absolutely appalling, the pitch held up quite well in the circumstances.

recyclebin · 10-12-2019 2:39pm

Most modern soccer pitches have a blend of real grass and plastic grass, hence they look so green all year round. Ball travels and bounces a lot more consistently too. I thought croke park and somewhere else in Ireland had this too but maybe not.

Info on the Croke Park pitch https://crokepark.ie/stadium/technology/pitch

There are a number of all weather 4G pitches throughout the country, Pairc Ui Chaoimh and UL two that come to mind, every county will have at least one in the next 10 years I would imagine.

mountgomery burns · 05-01-2020 3:28pm

Some first half in Newry so far, very entertaining

funkey_monkey · 05-01-2020 3:30pm

Glad to see Slaughtneil putting in s fine performance here. They are some club. Hopefully they can keep with them to the end.

Itssoeasy · 05-01-2020 3:44pm

Russell rovers were 6 points up with ten minutes gone in the second and in stoppage time at the end of the game are now behind by two points. Four minutes of stoppage time left.

citykat · 05-01-2020 3:47pm

Did the nordies get lost at half time?

Mantis Toboggan · 05-01-2020 3:50pm

Ballyhale still in first gear here, in fairness to slaughtneil though they're decent enough.

Itssoeasy · 05-01-2020 3:52pm

Extra time in the Russell rovers game. Bud Hartnett was the levelling score.

RMAOK · 05-01-2020 3:57pm

Slaughtneil got away with one there.

Stacksofwacks · 05-01-2020 4:15pm

Goal c'mon Slaughneil

Mantis Toboggan · 05-01-2020 4:21pm

Jaysus great effort from slaughtneil on the day. Nearly caught Ballyhale on the hop.

Fennelly really stood up today when it mattered.

Joe_ Public · 05-01-2020 4:21pm

Cruel way to finish. Mighty effort that. Not sure horgan did slaught any favours but just lacked that small bit of craft and cuteness. Did themselves proud today.

enricoh · 05-01-2020 4:22pm

Good time to announce motm, fennelly gets a goal 10 seconds later!

RMAOK · 05-01-2020 4:23pm

Think 5 points slightly flatters ballyhale. They deserved to win, no doubt, but maybe about 3 points would have been more accurate a gap between the teams imo.

Slaughtneil gave away a few handy frees to ballyhale in the first half that didn't help their cause at all.

But by the same token Shamrocks got away with a couple of late/mistimed hits too.

big_drive · 05-01-2020 4:33pm

Great game, seriously high level of commitment there
Excellent ref too, bit of common sense is worth a lot

Jaysus! Good thing for you Fennelly missed those two sitters so.

RMAOK · 05-01-2020 5:10pm

Great goal by Thomas's

Good Hurlers but severely lacking pace. Second to every 50/50. It's the major weakness of the team

Just back from the match, He did miss 2 sitters, but my god if any slaughtneil players looked at himself or TJ Reid it was a free for Ballyhale.

Ballyhale the better team by 1 or 2 points is a fair reflection.

It would be a strange to in first gear in an all ireland semi final.

You mean you didn’t expect Slaughtneil to sow it into them.

A2LUE42 · 05-01-2020 5:42pm

Great catch, but he threw the ball for the pass.

Hopefully Borris can keep the scores coming. There isn't much in it.
