Galway - quadruple travails part 2

Thereā€™s still enough runners there to cause goal-threats but Iā€™m not sold on Oā€™Conghaile tbh. I think heā€™s one of those Paul Kelly types that donā€™t really have the hunger, even at a very young age. Oā€™Curraoin I think will make a bigger impact in years to come.

Oā€™Curraoin did quite well during the league with a pile of players missing. Not sure why Oā€™Conghaile seems to have overtaken him since.

Iā€™d agree with that and as Iggy says i cant understand how hes overtaken both O Curraoin and Rory Cunningham.

He hit scores off his left and right in one of the early league games but Iā€™ve only seen him hit wides since so its a strange one. O Curraoin is also an excellent dead ball kicker.

Informative - what is the format this year? 16 teams? Or do those Senior B teams come into the picture.

I think Iā€™m going to have a bet on it.

Editing out the falsehoods. Iā€™m outta the loop on most teams only what I read in whatā€™s apps at this stage so others will have to give you tips. It doesnā€™t get going for a few months anyway so plenty time for research.

I know what Iā€™m doing.

I just need to know the draw and permutations.

Surprised the Senior B backdoor is still a thing.

No Bhyast or Finnerty. Will do well to beat this shower.

You need to look again re Finnertyā€¦

The minors are from a spread of clubs youā€™d not usually see.

I think the unusual thing is for 2 Ballygar lads to be starting against a plethora of lads from senior clubs, 1 of them captain. Thereā€™s usually been more whether it be for game promotion or player development I donā€™t know. It hasnā€™t worked so far anyhow.

As the hammer Mitchell said to me many moons ago in the casino in Melbourneā€¦ ā€œIā€™d die for Kinvaraā€

Be surprised if both kelly & Finnerty start.

Heaney is starting I heard. That could mean either McDaid to midfield or Walsh to corner forward. Iā€™d be shocked if either Kelly or Finnerty do more than a cameo off the bench.
