Time flies. I would have said 21.

Can I be the first to say, as a county who have won a two in a row in the last four decades, all in Limerick GAA would have savage respect for Joe Canning and all in Galway GAA.

Jake the Flake is some flat track bully
Commentators eye, at least the Laois masses get to hit the road early.

I hope @dodgy_keeper will be in Bruff to report for us all tonight.
Could have major ramifications for the Power Rankings.
We could send the minors down to beat that lot. All into Clarkeys after!

Just back from not-so-balmy Bruff.
Bon Secours Limerick senior county league final. Doon 3-19 Kilmallock 2-19.
Was late in due to work commitments at which point the @balbec were 0-05 to 0-00 ahead. Was just walking in the gate behind the goal when Big Robbie Egan drifted into space and had a blistering effort saved by Tomas Lynch but young Pierce Connery doubled on it first time to rattle the net. Eight points ahead and at that stage I was questioning my sanity at breaking my arse to attend this game.
But credit to Doon, they kept their nose in the fight. Almost straight away Ref Donners O’Callaghan awarded them a pen after Dean Coleman was pulled back. Cormac Bug Ryan stepped up and drilled it to the corner. Operating at 11, Ryan was excellent - from frees and play he was their best forward by a mile.
But Kilmallock steadied the ship and looked the better side for all the half. They fired over a plethora of scores from out the field, while BRE was getting the better of Tommy Hayes inside.
The game seemed to be almost petering out even at this early stage when the men from the East were thrown a lifeline, Coleman kicking a fine goal. Suddenly only three points in it at the break.
Doon really upped it on the resumption. Got a hold of the Kilmallock puck out and really took over the middle third. Mikey O’Brien and Jack Ryan particularly dominant. But with the lead down to a point and all the momentum with them, disaster struck. A surging run from Robbie Hanley created the opening for BRE and he finished emphatically. Gap back out to four.
Doon refused to panic though and chipped away at the lead before a good move led to no. 26 Sean Moloney (not sure if it was even him) firing in a ferocious shot which Barry Hennessy saved but trickled towards the line and the inrushing Kevin Maher bundled home. The sizeable Doon following found their voice as they sensed a morale boosting win following recent internal upheaval. The honest and game Coleman tapped over a point, when a goal was on, to push the gap out to three.
It being Doon, catastrophe is never far away and when Donners awarded the men from the South a late free on the 21 it seemed inevitable we’d be set for extra time. But Chanley’s well struck effort was blocked and cleared as the full time whistle went. Doon’s bench really delivered for them, Eddie Stokes got on a world of ball when he came in. Is this finally the year…?
Large crowd, Spike seemed happy with the turnout and another few quid in the County Board coffers. The club season ticket is great value for €100, a tenner in last week and again tonight. Anyone going to more than the odd game would be a mug not to get one.
FOL seems an excitable figure on the line. He was in on the ref a couple of times roaring for frees. Can see him getting into a few scrapes by the time the season is over. That young fella with the big square head who was with Davy’s Waterford this year also seems to be part of the set up. Almost certain it was him there anyway.
All in all an enjoyable contest and a nice way to pass a summer’s evening.

Senior Football Championship starting this weekend. Monaleen probably my pick for the year, bit of value at 4/1.

Galway teams have struggled of late but Clarinbridge and Sarsfields must be handy.
