Fairly pathetic scoring returns from all the big clubs today, even winning ones and hardly a goal scored between them all :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

It’s only a week since the races mate. Most Galways are still half asleep.

Watching Moycullen v Dunmore here and Moycullen seem to have gone to shite altogether. Down 1-7 to 0-1 after 26 minutes.

Dunmore a terrific young side.

1-8 to 0-2 at HT. Gleeson kicked a free over from about 60 yards out to end the half. Could maybe have been given a couple of those frees in the AI final.

@Diabhal called Moycullen right.

Who are they missing?

FT

Moycullen 3-7 Dunmore MacHales 1-12

Injury time goal for Moycullen after Conor Gleeson is yet again beaten by a high ball into the square. Moycullen forward got above him to punch the ball into the corner of the net. Gleeson wouldn’t jump over a Rizla paper.

Cracking game in fairness.

Serious wind there according to gbfm

@Diabhal s view of Moycullen is to be taken with a pinch of salt. Parish rivalry tends to distort his normally very accurate judgment!

Moycullen is a bit down-market for him.

My accuracy might not be world class but at least I’ll never have been known for backing Shefflin to succeed at intercounty in 2024 like Drom’s newest addition. I can die a happy man for that.

The search for Henry Shefflin’s successor is nearing a close as Galway are expected to appoint a new hurling manager at a county board meeting on Monday, September 2.

Shefflin departed at the end of the 2024 Leinster championship after three seasons with Galway. Micheál Donoghue’s decision to step down as Dublin manager earlier this month has paved the way for him to return and take charge of his native county with an announcement expected in two weeks’ time.

The deadline for potential candidates to confirm their interest was Friday. News that Donoghue was leaving Dublin after two years fuelled speculation that the All-Ireland-winning manager was set to return to the job he lost held in 2019. He had originally been appointed for three years with Dublin.

Donoghue is currently part of the backroom team with senior club Clarinbridge. His former team-mate David Forde is manager. They triumphed in their opening championship clash against Moycullen 2-21 to 0-15 with intercounty star Evan Niland hitting 1-15.

Roscommon goalkeeper Carroll not expected to play for his Galway club this season

While several outside candidates have been linked to the post in recent weeks, Galway chairperson Paul Bellew declared last month that their preference was to source a replacement from within the county.

Speaking on the Maroon and White Podcast, former All-Ireland winning manager Cyril Farrell said Donoghue is the leading contender as “he knows the scene inside out.”

“I think it is a done deal. There doesn’t seem to be anyone else applying for it, there is no one putting up their hand,” he said.

“Micheal had a year left on his contract with Franny (Forde) and Noel Larkin in Dublin. They’ve now opted out for the last year.

“They did a good job up there; Dublin were happy with them and I know they tried their best to hold onto them but he has made his break. I would say it is all roads lead to Galway. It is his if he wants it.”

A done deal so.

I’m only 5 minutes in, but yer man Brady is in BOX OFFICE form on this week’s Maroon and White Podcast :grinning:

To the untrained ear you’d think he gave a glowing review of Turlough’s acquisition of Dave Morris (of Corofin mastermind fame) but to us fans of the cynical stuff he’s thrown a super dig at Dave for what he’s charging to be in the backroom. Kev is not a man to spare timber.
