Heard him last week where he was very complimentary of the Roscommon intermediate champions. Great to hear him putting the boot in to those mayo cunts.

Farewell to the hay shed.
THE old stand in Tuam Stadium hosts its final ever game this Sunday (1:30pm) when
Monivea/Abbey meet Mayoâs Kilmeena in the Connacht Club IFC semi-final.
This is comes ahead of the refurbishment and re-roofing of the stand.
The upgrade has been made possible by the generous donation of âŹ350,000 from the late Joe and Helen OâToole of OâTooleâs Tuam, who committed to supporting the refurbishment in 2018.

Ballindeereen will have a 20 metre free to level it deep into injury time
Tooreen on a great run against the Galway intermediate champs. Think the last crowd to beat them were Oranmore Maree.
Not to be. FT Tooreen 0-21 Ballinderreen 0-19
Thats 5 out of the last 6 provincial titles at this level for Tooreen.
Amout of All Irelands in that time?

Itâs some achievement for Tooreen to be able do the little bit of competitive hurling they do in Mayo all summer and turn over the Galway champions every November - I donât think anyone could appreciate how difficult that is to do unless they played in a non-hurling area themselves. As well as it reflects on Tooreen, it equally highlights a lack of quality at that level in Galway.

The last bit isnât necessarily true.
Too many senior clubs in Galway but Tooreen are no mugs in fairness. As we saw in the intermediate final last January. They were the better team in the final for most of the game. Just ran out of gas in the last 7 or 8 minutes.

Theyâd be a good bet to win it out this year. Look to have the bit between their teeth after last year. Hope they do
They wonât keep it pucked out to Thomastown.
A different beast at this level this year.
Division 3 in Galway v Mayo Senior.
Yesterday Division 5 Ballinasloe went down to Sligo Seniors Easkey.
Itâs the level of hurling in Connacht
Itâs the fact Tooreen get so few competitive games though. Iâd a look there, they had 3 group games and a final. They won their group games 3.19-1.10, 10.21-1.4, 2.31-0.6. For them to go from that to taking on Galway intermediate champions who have been hurling in a competitive championship all season is some effort by them. I donât even know where Tooreen would get their challenge games from, it would take a bit of effort on their part anyway as Iâm sure there are very few clubs willing to head to Mayo for a challenge match.
