2016 Club Championships

Not good from an Ulster Championship perspective for the Tyrone clubs. Final next weekend and knockout weekend after that.

Can’t understand why the game wasn’t fixed for yesterday evening in any case.

Tyrone final re-fixed for Friday evening.

Kilcoo 0-5 Scotstown 0-4 HT

Kilcoo 1-7 Scotstown 0-8.

Scotstown throwing this away with wides.

1-8 to 0-8 down with 2 minutes left.

Absolute monster free from Nicky O’Connell for Clonlara.

Very low-scoring so far.

1 minute of 5 additional minutes gone.

Kilcoo lead by 2.

Francis Caulfield and Brian McGinnitty SENT OFF.

Scotstown down to 13 men and all but beaten.

Kilcoo win.

Scotstown hit 11 wides to Kilcoo’s 2.

Kilcoo have great chance to win Ulster now.

Ulster is wide open since Cross gone. Even though Cross are on the wane you could see only a few teams in Ulster with the bottle to beat them in a close game.

The Tyrone, Donegal, Derry, Monaghan, Down, Armagh and Antrim champs won’t have a great deal between them and they won’t have the sort of inferiority complex in games that they would have had against Cross.

I don’t think any of the Ulster clubs will be challenging for a senior All Ireland this year. They would probably beat the Munster side but I wouldn’t expect them to overturn the Connacht or Dublin champs.

Ground too heavy for a good game.

Terrible stuff from Flanagan for Galvin’s goal. Turning into the centre and leaving them completely open if he was blocked.

Cargin are destroying St. Gall’s.

At this stage I would would have Kilcoo favourites for Ulster with Slaughtneil, Kilcar, Cargin and Killyclogher their closest challengers in that order. But I agree that it’s hard to see the Ulster winners win out, especially with the Leinster winners awaiting in the semi-finals.

The Dublin champions will be All-Ireland favourites, irrespective of who they are.

After that it’s the usual suspects of Castlebar, Corofin, Portlaoise and maybe Clonmel who are the only other teams with All-Ireland prospects.

Portlaois two points down at half time

1/7 favourites Kilcar are four points down to Michael Murphy’s Glenswilly at half-time.

Ballyhale now a point down to Clara. Going to fuck up my big bet of the weekend. :sob:

Portlaoise BEATEN by a last second Stradbally goal.

Stradbally 2-10 Portlaoise 1-12

bloodbath in Carlow. Mount Leinster Rangers been utterly blackguarded by worst ref I’ve see in years. Down to 12 men. St Mullins have just had a man put off. This will get very nasty:
