Shane O’Regan is the latest gripchanger in town:

What were we thinking with that 6 goal combo bet last Sunday, should’ve been laying the fucking thing?

That Cork U20 keeper has an awful habit of dropping one hand off the hurley while striking a puck out, drove a couple of balls out of play doing it.

5-20 from play and 14 different scorers

Moycullen have hurlers?

Fat_Pox · July 12, 2019, 10:28pm

Was surprised myself with that.

Ballygar wouldn’t have too many Galway reps either.

Halfpipe · July 12, 2019, 10:35pm

Ballygar had a lad on last years All-Ireland winning team, so too did Moycullen I think. Morgan D’Arcy was one of the trailblazers for Moycullen back in the day. There were a number of clubs more renowned for their football represented on last year’s starting 15. I thought Mounbellew-Moylough had joined with a neighbouring club too to make them one of the longest named clubs in Ireland?

gaillimhmick · July 12, 2019, 10:36pm

Always had and great handballers too. Morgan Darcy senior & junior are two that come to mind.

Halfpipe · July 12, 2019, 10:38pm

I’m not up to date with Galway senior clubs but I’d guess 7 of the 15 are from clubs that are not senior?

gaillimhmick · July 12, 2019, 10:44pm

About that.

Halfpipe · July 12, 2019, 10:48pm

Hard to know whether that means the smaller clubs need congratulating or the bigger clubs need a kick up the hole. I suppose as they are All-Ireland champions then it must be the former, but would be good to see representation from places like Castlegar, Oranmore and Gort.

Moycullen on fire tonight on TFK

gaillimhmick · July 12, 2019, 11:01pm

I played my last ever club game in Galway against them. It was an U21 B semi final in 1992, played in Clarinbridge. They went on to win it out. Always had a few handy hurlers.

flattythehurdler · July 12, 2019, 11:07pm

A moycullen hurling legend would know to hold the thin end

Fat_Pox · July 14, 2019, 10:23pm

Galway had a few smashing lads today on that minor team. 6, 11 and 15 all looked serious.

Kid_Curry · July 17, 2019, 6:51pm

Good response to the goal here from Wexford.

the_mixer_walsh · July 17, 2019, 6:54pm

A Shefflin and a Cody on the way…the future is bright

Kid_Curry · July 17, 2019, 6:59pm

Young Shefflin looks decent and Brassil very good on the frees.

cluaindiuic · July 17, 2019, 10:09pm

Any kind of win gleefully accepted there. Tough opposition away from home in challenging conditions without your best player. A little but too inclined to force a short pass rather than getting the ball out of danger but that can be worked on.
