Think I have that at home somewhere actually.
Kilmacud finished strongly to beat Corofin while Crossmaglen hammered Drom/Broadford
I thought Cross had it easy, Drom had a very poor hand passing game, they were awful. Cross are a class act.
Fair play to Kilmacud, and credit to Mark Vaughan. Brilliant scores and he proved the class act that he can be. Showed all the attributes to be a top class player. I haven’t liked him from day one, but he was top class today. Thought Kilmacud were better, but Corofin could have won if they kept the head, some dreadful passing undone them.
Only saw the last 10 minutes of the Kilmacud/Corofin game and bits and pieces of the cross game but both of them both looked the classier teams…Drom looked very poor, Kilmurry Ilbricane would have given them a much beter game

Crokes looked seriously strong in the tackle…the amount of times they either stopped a corofin player in full flight or dispossessed him entirely was very impressive…Vaughan looks like he can’t even solo the ball at times but when he’s on form like today he really looks good…he has some boot of a ball off either foot…great individual goal even if he took about 8 steps…crossmaglen will be a different proposition though on paddys day…I fear it could be real puke football…hopefully I’m wrong…
Twould suit me down to the ground;)
Havent Cross some kind of record that they haven’t lost 20 odd finals on the trot…Ony times they have been betaen in the last 15 years is Ulster Quarter/Semi finals and All Ireland semi Finals…Some going
Agreed, the style Drom played was awful, and even though i was up for them, thank god Cross won. And Cross don’t exactly blow you away with their great football either, even though they are a good team.
I must say i think Kilmacud were top class. Corofin gave it everything, but Kilmacud stayed with them and then the Dubs showed their class.
Your bang on about their tackling, and in fairness credit must go to their coach for that. I saw them maybe 2-3 years ago and they couldn’t tackle a paper bag, but your right, they dispossed several times. I also thought Corofin made alot of simple mistakes though.
Cracking start to the hurling!
Ridiculous scoring. 2-5 1-5 after 17 mins
Portumna denied a stone wall penalty there with the foul on Hayes.
May have been just outside though.
Smashing save there!
3-6 to 1-6
Smashing finish from Canning.
fifth goal just gone in for Portumna, they’re cutting them open at will
Good shout sledge. A 1-13 a piece draw.
Is that the final score Runt?
I think so. De La Salle free in the last minute to level it. The nordies were down to 14 men as well.
I think they’re playing extra time.
I backed both outsiders on the handicaps, after I had the bets done though, I was told that I should have backed Portumna to win the game outright. Didn’t back that though unfortunately.
DLS are three up 1-19 to 1-16
De La Salle 2 up in extra time now.
