1:02
SPEAKER_00: Don't you worry.
1:02
SPEAKER_00: Of course, yeah.
1:03
SPEAKER_00: Okay, Darren, anyway, so you obviously you were away yourself, you didn't get to see them in the flesh.
1:07
SPEAKER_00: I'm sure no doubt no better man than you, keeping a track in the ball and writing away.
1:10
SPEAKER_00: So, look, we'll we'll go straight into the senior results very quickly.
1:14
SPEAKER_00: Uh, in group one, we had Tupper Curry 111, Torlestran 422.
1:19
SPEAKER_00: Not a major shock, I suppose.
1:20
SPEAKER_00: You know, it's another big score by Torlestran, though.
1:22
SPEAKER_00: They're keeping the form going.
1:23
SPEAKER_00: And the other game in group one then was Eastern Harps 11 points, uh St.
1:27
SPEAKER_00: Mary's 110.
1:28
SPEAKER_00: Sorry, I know that Tuber Curry's 112 to 421.
1:30
SPEAKER_00: I think there's one little error on that one.
1:32
SPEAKER_00: So Eastern Harps and St.
1:33
SPEAKER_00: Mary's, another tight battle there Sunday.
1:34
SPEAKER_00: And I was commentating on that one myself in the wild wet Truber Curry on that day.
1:38
SPEAKER_00: And that left group one, of course, Shamrock Gales weren't playing at the weekend.
1:41
SPEAKER_00: They topped the group St.
1:42
SPEAKER_00: Mary's, ended up in second place.
1:43
SPEAKER_00: Torlesran in third place on five points.
1:46
SPEAKER_00: Sorry, Mary's and Shamarkales, six each.
1:48
SPEAKER_00: And Eastern Harps, uh, unfortunately, for their all their promises season, end up in a relegation battle.
1:52
SPEAKER_00: Someone had to lose somewhere.
1:53
SPEAKER_00: Uh, and then Truber Curry, of course, will go into the relegation semi-fan as well.
1:56
SPEAKER_00: So, again, from uh like let's let's I suppose this kickoff what you might class as the biggest game of the weekend there, Eastern Harps and St.
2:02
SPEAKER_00: Mary's.
2:03
SPEAKER_00: Real uh it took a while to get going, you know what I mean?
2:06
SPEAKER_00: There wasn't it wasn't it wasn't a high scoring game either.
2:08
SPEAKER_00: But again, is this Sean Mary's or growing into the championship?
2:11
SPEAKER_01: Look, it's it's a bit of both, really.
2:13
SPEAKER_01: I'd say um Eastern Harps were saying that you know they're gonna be very disappointed where they ended up after a super start to the championship, you know, by drawing with the champions in the opening game, and then you know, they had a huge win over Tubercurry then a couple of weeks later, and then they got brought right down dirt by Tor Lestran out in Bud Nadin a few weeks ago, and that just made it that it was going to be a crunch game with St.
2:37
SPEAKER_01: Mary's going into the last game.
2:38
SPEAKER_01: Now, obviously, St.
2:40
SPEAKER_01: Mary's were in a similar position going into last weekend's game that the knowing that if they were to lose, they were going to end up in the relegation.
2:47
SPEAKER_01: And Mark Brehenley and his management team changed up the team a little bit.
2:51
SPEAKER_00: A bit.
2:51
SPEAKER_00: I was trying to commentate.
2:52
SPEAKER_00: We didn't know any of the changes for the game.
2:54
SPEAKER_00: There must have been about five different players, it seemed it felt like that, anyways, and they were all 20-something, so it really made it hard in a way to get it.
2:59
SPEAKER_00: I can imagine, yeah, and trying to figure it out from a few years.
3:01
SPEAKER_00: Your man, you've talked about enough in this podcast.
3:03
SPEAKER_00: You know, again, for a first game back in is it a couple of years I heard someone say no, it's not, no.
3:07
SPEAKER_01: He um because he had been playing a bit of football at the start of the year and then he went to America to play a bit of football during the summer, got injured in America, had to come back.
3:15
SPEAKER_01: So was it his first club since a club championship game, maybe in a while?
3:18
SPEAKER_00: Someone said something to me about that.
3:19
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, could it could be something, but he look at he's a top player, top player.
3:24
SPEAKER_01: And for anybody that hasn't seen or watched or heard about the pass that he gave in for the goal for Kyle Cawley in the first half, could do it looking it up, it's on all the socials.
3:32
SPEAKER_01: It's uh it's a gem of a pass, it's like you know, and credit to him.
3:37
SPEAKER_01: He coming back and going into the white heated championship battle and not looking out of place, you know.
3:42
SPEAKER_01: He's obviously doing plenty of work off the field, but like when you go into a game like that and you have to hit the ground running, and I suppose Sam Aries were pretty happy where the word they were one four to three.
3:54
SPEAKER_01: One four to three at halftime now.
3:55
SPEAKER_00: Kyle Cawley, I mean like nearly the last kick of the half.
3:58
SPEAKER_00: Uh so like it could have been a point in it at halftime, and like and and that would have been look, I said it to Scott Lynch afterwards at a good chat with him afterwards, and you know, he said they kind of probably knew where they were going, but yeah, they they were kind of kind of seemed to feel like they were calm enough, I'd say.
4:11
SPEAKER_01: But and I suppose there's the flip side of that also is that they had loads of wides, and they had loads was it like 11, 12, the whole game and plenty into the keepers' hands as well.
4:21
SPEAKER_01: Now I know conditions would play a part in that for the game, but if you touch back to the game that you were commentating out in Button Adden when Sam Mary's were playing, was it against Tupper Curry?
4:31
SPEAKER_00: Well, I actually attended that one, that was the one came in as well.
4:35
SPEAKER_01: But again, they had plenty of wides in that that evening as well.
4:38
SPEAKER_01: So they're creating the chances, and for whatever reason it is, they're not getting the ball over the bar because they probably should have had a more comfortable position going into the last 10 minutes than they had against Eastern Harps.
4:48
SPEAKER_01: But Eastern Harpshire, their credit came back, and there was a bit of a uh I don't know what you'd call it at the end of the game.
4:56
SPEAKER_00: Well, our old pal from here, um Emlen.
4:58
SPEAKER_00: I mean, look, it was a complete innocent mistake in one sense.
5:01
SPEAKER_00: Um, we were discussing it before we came on air.
5:03
SPEAKER_00: So anyone that didn't see it, like uh and it was like So he thought the game was over, he thought the game was over with the ball, it was a free out to Eastern Harps, but the ball happened to dribble after the foul or whatever happened into his hands.
5:12
SPEAKER_00: And he's seen the refloy swiss and now the two minutes of injury time were definitely up, and he just got the ball and kicked over the sideline as you do now to end a game.
5:19
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
5:20
SPEAKER_00: But uh as it turned out, it was a free, and then everyone there was like panic everywhere going if this now they needed a goal.
5:26
SPEAKER_01: If but if they draw the two-pointer because it brought the ball right up into a scorable position for a free, but but I and it just shows that the chaotic scenes there was that with Muggsley doing that, and then Alan Davy was coming up because Eastern Harps had filled the box with all their players as Sun True.
5:42
SPEAKER_01: Everyone was in there, yeah.
5:43
SPEAKER_01: He landed up and he brought the tea with him.
5:46
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I was like, I was like, I'm not a goalie, it's kind of pretty darn wasn't here.
5:50
SPEAKER_01: You're definitely not.
5:51
SPEAKER_01: I'm definitely not allowed.
5:52
SPEAKER_01: So he brought the tea with him, like his head was all over the place as well, and he put it on the deck and he rattled it into the box.
5:59
SPEAKER_01: But St.
6:00
SPEAKER_01: Mary's came up with the ball, and I think somebody caught the ball, caught it cleanly in that possession, like, and it's to kick it out over the sideline or end line.
6:07
SPEAKER_01: End line, yeah, yeah, yeah.
6:07
SPEAKER_01: For the game to be over anywhere, like if if a goal had come from that, like you know.
6:11
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but we were just saying that maybe maybe there bec in in games where there's no hooter, maybe there needs to be some kind of a symbol by the refers.
6:18
SPEAKER_00: You said maybe three clear whistles to go.
6:19
SPEAKER_00: That is definitely it.
6:20
SPEAKER_00: And I mean, I know it's it might never happen again all championship, but that could have been absolutely detrimental.
6:25
SPEAKER_00: It could have been scenario.
6:26
SPEAKER_01: Look, there were some good performances on both on both teams.
6:28
SPEAKER_01: Like Nathan Rooney obviously kicked a few good scores again, but he's doing that all championship, he really is.
6:33
SPEAKER_01: Kyle Cawley came up with the goal again, he's a goal machine.
6:36
SPEAKER_01: You know, there's not many games that he plays that he doesn't get a goal in.
6:40
SPEAKER_01: And again, like they had good performers throughout, and Scottie Lynch there in the half back line, like he was captured the team, he was dogged, he was internally in the right place at the right time.
6:50
SPEAKER_00: And and again, we're chatting to him afterwards.
6:52
SPEAKER_00: It was kind of complimenting him and he goes, Oh, all I am is the next ball, the next ball.
6:54
SPEAKER_00: Well, he's exemplified that on the day, like yeah, and even Fionn No Hare, uh fullback, like to keep Matt Henry uh scoreless, yeah, and like Matt Henry was in the game in ways, he was out in front a lot, but like it was very much like in the modern game.
7:05
SPEAKER_00: I always say as a defender is like the forward time will get the ball, but then you have to go up and don't let him in.
7:11
SPEAKER_00: And he definitely didn't, like it was real tigris, and he's not the tallest of fullbacks either, you know.
7:14
SPEAKER_00: So it was a real tigris defence.
7:16
SPEAKER_00: They're all on Mary's defence, and I said it during commentary, just really well set up and drilled, you know.
7:21
SPEAKER_00: Eastern Harps would take off and they go, Oh, hold on, there's a wall here to try and get it.
7:24
SPEAKER_01: I I would say an awful lot of that comes from uh marking the Mary's forwards in the training situations or training games, because a lot of them Mary's forwards take a good bit of watching, and if you're able to watch them or mark them in a training game, it gives you a uh a head start when you're good in playing other forwards from other clubs, you know.
7:41
SPEAKER_01: But uh in Eastern Herps on their flip side of it, like Rona Mulligan, who is one of their standout performers, was was very good again from six, and Alan Davy and goals again.
7:50
SPEAKER_01: You know, he had some super kick outs throughout the game.
7:52
SPEAKER_01: If you're watching it, like you know, he was he was getting great distance on them kicks, both with and against the wind, like you know.
7:57
SPEAKER_00: Jim Malloy, James Kiernan.
7:59
SPEAKER_00: Every game I've watched and I've commented upon coincidence.
8:01
SPEAKER_01: James Kiernan got up and got it got a super score there.
8:04
SPEAKER_00: Um and I don't know the name escapes me.
8:06
SPEAKER_00: There was number 21 who named the goal.
8:07
SPEAKER_00: Um can't think of his name off the top of my head.
8:09
SPEAKER_00: Oh uh Michael Clark.
8:11
SPEAKER_00: Yes, you know, and like it's like I say if you look back and it would like it's easy to talk from the sideline.
8:15
SPEAKER_00: I know just took maybe another solo and allowed the goal to come.
8:17
SPEAKER_01: So it's probably it was probably uh the wrong man in the right position.
8:21
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, well, basically I was saying it was me as well, it would have been possibly worse.
8:24
SPEAKER_01: You know, because he wouldn't be known for his goal score and or that.
8:26
SPEAKER_01: But look at Michael Clark's a big player for Eastern Herbs.
8:29
SPEAKER_01: He missed the last game, he came back in that day.
8:32
SPEAKER_01: So, you know, if they had him against Torestrand, they might not have been in the position where they were, you know.
8:37
SPEAKER_01: But where Sam Mary's are now, they're after getting through, and at the end of the day, like it was a results business at the weekend, and they got the result.
8:45
SPEAKER_01: And whether it was pretty or not, they don't care.
8:48
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah, and again, a lot of youth they're coming through again.
8:50
SPEAKER_00: It was like Finn Young came on and gave them a late point to give them a bit of uh breathing space as well.
8:54
SPEAKER_00: Uh like they're chomping at the bit had said, we'll talk about Kalira and Mary's we'll preview that in the next show, uh, which will be out later this week, as I said.
9:00
SPEAKER_00: But like in Nathan Rooney, Nathan Rooney came up with seven points.
9:03
SPEAKER_00: It was just it was a tricky day for Forrest from scoring from play, really.
9:05
SPEAKER_00: Like, you know, even on if I'm not mistaken, Eastern Harps, uh like there wasn't any major big screen, it was lots of players.
9:10
SPEAKER_00: Spreads, and I don't think anyone got more than maybe two.
9:13
SPEAKER_00: Two or three points, yeah.
9:14
SPEAKER_00: You know what I mean?
9:14
SPEAKER_00: So but it was, uh but again, it was probably a mix of the conditions, plus Mary's defence definitely was it was Tigrish in the probably a murder win for St.
9:22
SPEAKER_01: Mary's, like they they kind of had had them at arm's length throughout the game, and if Harps had nicked it at the end, it might have been a little bit unjust.
9:29
SPEAKER_01: But these are the joys, this is what football is about, it goes down to the wire, doesn't it?
9:32
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah, no, absolutely, and it could have completely changed at the end, like you know.
9:36
SPEAKER_00: So look at uh hard luck to Harps.
9:38
SPEAKER_00: I mean they're going to the relegation uh playoffs, and and and as we said, Mary's will play this weekend.
9:42
SPEAKER_00: Uh, just to the other match in that group, again, like going from what we expected, uh Turistran 421.
9:49
SPEAKER_00: Sorry if I have that run wrong, and Trupper Curry won 10.
9:51
SPEAKER_00: Uh but again it was like a what 20 points win.
9:54
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, um again like okay, I I know Triple Curry we said you know that they are the underdogs, they've had a few injuries as well, but like Turestran, like not everyone bet Trupper Curry when that score.
10:05
SPEAKER_00: No, Harps give them a good beat, yeah.
10:06
SPEAKER_01: And Samaria said bet them by four points, yeah.
10:08
SPEAKER_01: Um but that was at the start of the championship and they've gone back, they have gone back, but and I said that they were probably taking their eye off the ball for the group stage, but Torestran flexed their muscles, they really did, and they're gonna take a bit of reckoning with come quarter final stage, and it's Torlestran are one of these teams that when they get on a run, when they get on a roll, they're very hard stop because momentum is a huge thing in all sports, but especially for a team like Torlestrand, who have not been where they wanted to be over the last few seasons, and have come back into the groove now this year, and they obviously drew with Shamrack Gales in the group stages in a game that they probably should have won.
10:44
SPEAKER_01: Then the turn round the Bed Eastern Harps up up in Budden Adden in a game that they definitely deserve to win, like you know, yeah, and the turnaround then and that to do that to Tuber Curry, like it'd be very easy just to rest on your laurels against Tober Curry in the last group game, knowing that you're more than likely in a quarter final anyway.
11:00
SPEAKER_01: But give them a small bit of credit there, and I says, right, tourist ran off at your peril.
11:05
SPEAKER_01: You know, they had a good spread of scores there.
11:07
SPEAKER_01: Col Henry, who was they got two-two, is he?
11:10
SPEAKER_00: Re Bailey.
11:11
SPEAKER_00: Ryan Bailey, yeah.
11:11
SPEAKER_01: He got six points.
11:13
SPEAKER_01: Um and he's you know, he's been he's had a couple of bad injuries.
11:16
SPEAKER_01: He got a bad injury during the league, I think it was his shoulder or collarbone, and he's come back injury, doesn't always start for them, but he started the last day and he ends up with six points.
11:24
SPEAKER_01: So, you know, put on a super performance from all accounts on that side of things.
11:28
SPEAKER_01: And Tupper Curry probably were just eyeing up, just get the group stage over and done with it.
11:33
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
11:34
SPEAKER_00: Well, you did say that this weekend.
11:35
SPEAKER_00: I mean, I'm sure that's not what they want it to be, but they're right.
11:37
SPEAKER_00: That's just where we're at, and that's what we have to roll with, like you know.
11:40
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so yeah, so so as we said, uh St.
11:42
SPEAKER_00: Mary's will go on to play Kaliras Strandhill, and we'll just go to uh group not group one, group two, uh Kaliras Stranthill, as we said, 11 points apiece with St.
11:51
SPEAKER_00: Miloche Gales, and then in the other match in that group it was Eastern Harps a little sorry, I'm reading the wrong one.
11:56
SPEAKER_00: Kalani Mullabrina won twelve, Easy 211.
11:58
SPEAKER_00: Uh just to give you the table again.
11:59
SPEAKER_00: Drumcliffe, of course, had topped that group with 100% record on eight points.
12:03
SPEAKER_00: Uh St.
12:03
SPEAKER_00: Miloche Gales finished up second at the end with five points, Kalera third on four points, Easy on three, and Kalani Mulabrina uh no points in this unfortunately this championship.
12:13
SPEAKER_00: But again, uh look Kolera and Malash was was a kind of a nothing-ish game.
12:19
SPEAKER_00: You know, we said Baron a miracle, uh, but an 11 points apiece draw.
12:23
SPEAKER_00: Again, I don't know, was the conditions bad or what was the conditions?
12:25
SPEAKER_01: I think uh Kolera had a big breeze in the first half favouring them.
12:29
SPEAKER_01: But also we had said that um the jeopardy of finishing either second or third was of no benefit to them because they didn't know what the results was going to be on Sunday.
12:39
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
12:40
SPEAKER_01: So it was probably they probably would have gone more out for the game or going for the win, either team, if they knew that okay, well, they could pick and choose who they were gonna face, whether they were gonna face St.
12:50
SPEAKER_01: Mary's or they were going to face Torres Strana or they're gonna face Eastern Harps.
12:54
SPEAKER_01: If they'd known that, then you can go into that game.
12:56
SPEAKER_01: It's a completely different mindset, it really is.
12:58
SPEAKER_01: So I had said last week that I thought it was going to be a very tight affair, and I thought that Kulera's firepower might nick it, and I had expected Nile Murphy to start.
13:08
SPEAKER_01: He didn't start, and they obviously had Fola was suspended for that game.
13:11
SPEAKER_01: That's right, so they have two top forwards were missing on the night.
13:14
SPEAKER_01: Now I know Murphy came on before, obviously didn't play at all, but they went 11-2 up.
13:20
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I was reading something about there was lots of uh space in Jurgen, there's no scores on there, and then as you said, a huge and then Mulash just kept clipping.
13:27
SPEAKER_00: I think they went up to nine points in the second half and then it didn't score again after it.
13:30
SPEAKER_01: And just kept clipping points over, and Paul Flynn stood up big time for uh Malash Gales, and obviously we had mentioned Aaron Lang on the show before, and loads of people in the Sligo always mentioned Ireland because he's a great ball winner, but he kicked a couple of points, and then Luke Castle, who was playing in probably the full backline, gets up right at the end and nails a point to get a share of the spoils.
13:52
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and Alam McLaughlin injury time had another chance to run.
13:54
SPEAKER_00: He did, yeah.
13:55
SPEAKER_00: And again, it's it's we're only just saying the detail, it probably is you said it didn't really be a good one.
13:58
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, like it yeah, as well psychologically for them to go right, if maybe if we'd won, it might have just lifted up.
14:02
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and Keelan Hart then in goals for Kalera, like he got up and he got he nailed a two-pointer in the start of the second half against the breeze.
14:09
SPEAKER_01: Lovely strike, but he pulled off two or three super saves as well, and his kick outs throughout the night were excellent.
14:15
SPEAKER_01: So, you know, he's a top-top keeper, he really is.
14:18
SPEAKER_01: And he pulled off a super save on Joe Brady late on in the game.
14:22
SPEAKER_01: And it looked to me that Samiloche Gales were probably going for more so than Kalera.
14:27
SPEAKER_01: Now I could be wrong on that, but just from the outside looking in or looking back at the outside, yeah.
14:32
SPEAKER_01: But obviously Kevin Banks not playing, who's a huge player for Kolera, Strand Hill, and again, I'm not sure what his injury is, but he doesn't miss too many games through injury, and now he's after missing two in a row.
14:42
SPEAKER_01: But Sean Taylor got back on the field.
14:44
SPEAKER_00: That's a big, a big addition.
14:45
SPEAKER_00: I mean, this might be on the All-Stars Club All-Star two years ago.
14:49
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, no, and he like he's gone through a horrific time with his knee injury, but he's back there, and I'm sure he's been knocking down the door to get onto that team.
14:56
SPEAKER_01: He's on it now, and regardless who comes back into the fold for next weekend's quarterfinal, he's going to be looking to keep his place in the certainty.
15:03
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
15:03
SPEAKER_00: And a hat tip to Barry O'Mahani.
15:04
SPEAKER_00: I mean, if you keep an eye on the scores, he's always coming in with seems to be a very reliable breed taker.
15:08
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
15:09
SPEAKER_01: And like he's he's probably taken over the the mantle there from uh Nile Murphy been injured.
15:28
SPEAKER_01: And Baz has stood up to the plate in every game that he plays, he all he's he's always scored, he's always a good man for a score.
15:34
SPEAKER_01: But when you're taking the freeze, and especially nowadays with the two point free, when you get them, you need to be scoring them.
15:40
SPEAKER_01: And to be fair to him, he has done it in every game so far this year.
15:43
SPEAKER_00: And then just to finish off on the senior uh with uh Esky, as we said, 2-11, Kalani 1-12.
15:48
SPEAKER_00: Again, Barnaby, this was another game.
15:49
SPEAKER_00: Easy, I mean they won by two in the end, and they're both going into the relegation semi-finals.
15:54
SPEAKER_00: Uh Jonathan, just from the bits, I was reading Jonathan Conroy's early goal, helped Easky lead one four to six at halftime, and then Ryan McKenna came on and made an immediate impact, scoring one, one, putting Easky in a strong position here in the second half.
16:03
SPEAKER_00: But you were telling me about a Kalani Mulderbrina man, yeah, younger.
16:06
SPEAKER_00: What did you get then?
16:07
SPEAKER_00: 10 points.
16:07
SPEAKER_00: 10 points.
16:08
SPEAKER_00: Fair clipping.
16:09
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, fair clippen.
16:10
SPEAKER_00: What age is this guy?
16:11
SPEAKER_01: Uh he was under 20 last year.
16:13
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
16:14
SPEAKER_01: Um, but like again, it was a game that was didn't really matter in the grand scheme of things.
16:19
SPEAKER_01: I know that Eiskey had to win the game by a monumental uh score and hope that Kollera had lost.
16:25
SPEAKER_01: But regardless of the fact, Easy have really got their players back, and you know, that's two wins, or that's a win and a draw, like you know, to finish off the championship.
16:34
SPEAKER_01: And they're going to be a good win.
16:36
SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah, but they're going to be a good one.
16:37
SPEAKER_00: Mikey Gordon committed a point.
16:38
SPEAKER_00: We've been in the middle.
16:39
SPEAKER_00: Exactly, yeah.
16:39
SPEAKER_01: And that Ross is loin back in the field, and Joe McHugh clipped over six points, top, top player, and obviously they have his brother Rory playing there.
16:46
SPEAKER_01: And I seen that Andy Kilculling come on as well, who, for anybody that doesn't know Andy, like he's one of the top hurlers.
16:52
SPEAKER_01: Oh, witnessed him in Markfitch Park at the final layer of this sensation.
16:55
SPEAKER_01: But he's been plagued with a knee injury over the last 12 months, and he's a super footballer as well.
17:01
SPEAKER_01: Super, super footballer.
17:02
SPEAKER_01: When the one intermediate a few years ago, he was their main man at full forward, he really was, and he was, you know, you'd be one of these players that you'd be hoping might drop the hurley and end up playing for Slide of Zeno.
17:13
SPEAKER_01: No, I'm hoping for that.
17:14
SPEAKER_01: You know, but these things happen.
17:15
SPEAKER_01: And good luck to East Key, where they are.
17:17
SPEAKER_00: I know Killani Burley, Mullabrino would be disappointed where they are losing four games in championship and group stages, but for the likes of them, teams that are in relegation now goes into a mini championship, and they probably know what uh you're deflated after going out of the main competition as come, but you're kind of now going, right, Les, don't lose the focus here and don't drop off on training and that like so.
17:36
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
17:37
SPEAKER_00: And again, uh I know I'm pretty sure it's at most intermediate and senior uh quarterfinals, the relegation starts this weekend.
17:44
SPEAKER_00: Junior A, again, uh we'll get to it in a minute, but I know that's delayed by a week.
17:47
SPEAKER_00: So again, there's a lot of people.
17:49
SPEAKER_01: I think the senior relegation uh semi-finals are pushed back to next weekend as well, they're not on this weekend.
17:55
SPEAKER_00: Oh, sorry, okay.
17:56
SPEAKER_00: Well again, we'll we'll have our other show where we preview the weekend.
17:58
SPEAKER_00: Uh but again, just if you are watching, uh, me and Darren are going to be commentating on Sunday evening.
18:02
SPEAKER_00: It's uh Tula Strand versus St.
18:03
SPEAKER_00: Miloche Gales at 5 o'clock in Bunanadden.
18:05
SPEAKER_00: Yep.
18:06
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, live on SligoGATV.e.
18:07
SPEAKER_00: It'll be live on Ocean FM as well, and St.
18:09
SPEAKER_00: Mary's Play Calera in Caluny at 2 o'clock on Sunday, also live streamed and on Ocean FM as well.
18:14
SPEAKER_00: So wherever you need to watch for that, and if you want to tune into uh us two at 5 o'clock, you can.
18:19
SPEAKER_00: Uh okay, so we'll just jump into uh Intermediate, which I say this is more your kind of space here.
18:24
SPEAKER_00: Correct.
18:24
SPEAKER_00: And the on Saturday, uh St.
18:26
SPEAKER_00: Pat's 4.16, Bonan Adden 421, and then on Sunday, Collery uh beat Enniscron 112 to 1-6.
18:33
SPEAKER_00: Uh Giva played out a draw with Castle Connor and Ballymore, Ballymote 116, Clunacool 1-8.
18:38
SPEAKER_00: And that left the groups with group one.
18:39
SPEAKER_00: Of course, Curry were flying all the way to the championship.
18:41
SPEAKER_00: Uh they obviously had a weekend off.
18:43
SPEAKER_00: Um they were on eight points, Ballimote on six, Castle Conner and Giva on three, and Clunakul no points.
18:48
SPEAKER_00: Bonon Adden topped the other group with eight points, Collery on six, and then Farnans Patz, and then a scron uh on two.
18:54
SPEAKER_00: So is that what we said last year?
18:55
SPEAKER_00: Farnans got through without playing.
18:57
SPEAKER_00: So they're gonna get through.
18:58
SPEAKER_00: Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
18:58
SPEAKER_01: Uh as expected in that group too, I had expected Brazil went the way and I expected Colliery both to get their respective wins.
19:06
SPEAKER_01: Um, but Nadden a little bit more difficult than I thought it would be.
19:09
SPEAKER_01: And St.
19:09
SPEAKER_01: Pat's to their credit have put up some massive scores over the last few weeks for a team that had a very bad league and a very bad start to the championship.
19:18
SPEAKER_00: They're joint top scorers in that group, too, as they look at the table, actually.
19:20
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you know what I mean?
19:21
SPEAKER_01: So they have massive firepower up there, and that's after losing a few key forwards over the last couple of seasons.
19:27
SPEAKER_01: Um, and then Colery betting a scron, you know, that's was a potential banana skin.
19:33
SPEAKER_01: I know in a scron were maybe five points up at halftime, but there was outrageous wind and rain blowing against, and Colery then flexor muscles in the second half.
19:41
SPEAKER_01: And like Colery are one of these teams that they're probably one of the only teams that I can see are going to challenge Curry for that intermediate championship because they have good players from right to their goalkeeper right up to the corner forward, and like you can name them all over the pitch with Devani with Cox, they've got Connor Griffin back on the pitch the last last weekend, who's a top player as well, you know, and Gavin Lynch up in the top corner, you have Callahan half forward line, you know, like they've just players all over the pitch.
20:08
SPEAKER_01: And I would say it's a bit of a headache for Amy Kelly and George Each trying to be picking that team, but they'd sooner have that headache heading into a quarterfinal than be looking at looking in at a relegation semi-final, like you know.
20:21
SPEAKER_00: Well we'll tell people the fixtures just so they know, but whether we'll talk more about them in the next show.
20:24
SPEAKER_00: Uh Callway versus Castle Connor, that's Kilcoyne Park at half five on Saturday, and then on Sunday, Ballymoat plays St.
20:30
SPEAKER_00: Farnans at uh that's in Clunacool at one o'clock on Sunday.
20:33
SPEAKER_00: So again, we'll we'll detail a bit more of them in the next part of our show.
20:36
SPEAKER_00: Uh but yeah, so so again, uh we're we're out of the group stages now.
20:40
SPEAKER_00: Uh we'll have a quick uh just a quick summary of the Junior A championship last weekend uh in Group 1 and Saturday evening, St.
20:47
SPEAKER_00: Mary's 113, St.
20:48
SPEAKER_00: Michael's 118, and then on Sunday, Torles Strand, seven points, Ownmore Gale 6.15.
20:54
SPEAKER_00: So Ownmore again, they're just I mean, from from all I'm hearing all season, they are red hot favourites.
21:00
SPEAKER_00: They won Division 2 and they're playing in a junior A.
21:02
SPEAKER_00: So they're obviously stamping their authority in quite a number of games, and again, a lot of big scoring going on there again in that game.
21:07
SPEAKER_00: I I know you were telling me some of the names of the lads that were just stepping up, so they're they're really kind of flying through us.
21:12
SPEAKER_00: So it's oh and this, of course, is only the top two.
21:14
SPEAKER_00: So Ownmore Gales topped on eight, St.
21:16
SPEAKER_00: Michael's finished up in second there.
21:18
SPEAKER_00: Uh, but they were level at four points with Kalera themselves in Mary.
21:21
SPEAKER_00: So there's that mini-league, and they came out on top of that.
21:23
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, Kalera were third, so they're kind of they're their season ends as far as I'm aware.
21:26
SPEAKER_00: And then Mary's and Torres Trying to go into the relegation.
21:29
SPEAKER_00: That's correct.
21:29
SPEAKER_00: And then in group two, Eastern Harps 3-8, St.
21:32
SPEAKER_00: John's 2-14.
21:33
SPEAKER_00: That was out in Knoxville Park on Saturday evening.
21:34
SPEAKER_00: And Sunday, then Melosh Gales, 17 points, Shamrock Gold's Shamrock Gales, sorry, eight points.
21:39
SPEAKER_00: That meant that group then ended with Malosh Gales topping on seven points.
21:42
SPEAKER_00: Well, joint top with St.
21:43
SPEAKER_00: John's, who also seven Eastern Harps again, their season ends now, uh, four points, and then Shamrock Gales and Drumcliffe a point apiece.
21:49
SPEAKER_00: Now, I was obviously at the Eastern Harps and St.
21:51
SPEAKER_00: John's game on the sideline.
21:53
SPEAKER_00: Uh, it was again, you know, it was a real ding-dong battle.
21:56
SPEAKER_00: Uh, St.
21:57
SPEAKER_00: John's went ahead a couple of times, they got dragged back a couple of times.
22:00
SPEAKER_00: Um, the Eastern Harps, you know, there was a goal taken off them for there was a third man and off the ball incident.
22:06
SPEAKER_00: The linesman came in and that was struck off.
22:08
SPEAKER_00: They missed a two-pointer, so it was a real nip and tuck affair.
22:12
SPEAKER_00: But again, uh just from watching St.
22:13
SPEAKER_00: John's, there's a lot of young, good talent there.
22:15
SPEAKER_00: Whether that's enough to, you know, the youth versus the experience.
22:18
SPEAKER_00: And again, I don't know an awful lot about O'Mor Gales.
22:20
SPEAKER_00: I know, yeah.
22:21
SPEAKER_00: So I'm only going it on like they did win Division Two, so you'd be kind of thinking I talked to it goes, Well, that's that's kind of like it's probably should go.
22:28
SPEAKER_01: Like no more than current intervention.
22:29
SPEAKER_01: Immediate level over Gail should be without Jr.
22:31
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
22:32
SPEAKER_01: And that's no disrespect to this playing St.
22:34
SPEAKER_01: John's in the semi-final or the other two teams, St.
22:37
SPEAKER_01: Miloche and St.
22:38
SPEAKER_01: Michaels in the other semi-final.
22:39
SPEAKER_01: Like it's just they're that little bit stronger than everybody else.
22:42
SPEAKER_01: So that like for somebody to catch them, they have to have an off day, and your team then has to have a super day.
22:48
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
22:48
SPEAKER_01: And everything has to go right for them.
22:50
SPEAKER_01: So that's just where they're at at the moment.
22:53
SPEAKER_01: But in the other game, then St.
22:55
SPEAKER_01: Mary's against St.
22:55
SPEAKER_01: Michaels.
22:56
SPEAKER_01: St.
22:56
SPEAKER_01: Michaels a few weeks ago thought their season was over after they had lost to Kalera Stranthill in the group stage.
23:00
SPEAKER_01: It was a game that they should be they should have been winning.
23:03
SPEAKER_01: They got caught, but they've regrouped and they've come back to the fold.
23:06
SPEAKER_01: And you know, they got to win over St.
23:08
SPEAKER_01: Mary's on Saturday evening.
23:09
SPEAKER_01: A game that you know they probably always had them at arm's length, they really did.
23:13
SPEAKER_01: And Pork McGoldrick, one of their elder statesmen up there at corner forward, ends up with 1-6 on the night, which is good clipping, no matter who you are, no matter what age you are.
23:22
SPEAKER_01: And they've got themselves into a semi-final against St.
23:25
SPEAKER_01: Mulash Gales, which is their second team, who you know finished top of that group along with St.
23:30
SPEAKER_01: John's.
23:30
SPEAKER_01: You know, it's it's it's good going for them, they deserve their credit of where they are.
23:34
SPEAKER_01: And Umber Gales against St.
23:36
SPEAKER_01: John's and Mulash against St.
23:37
SPEAKER_01: Michael, so it's up for debate.
23:40
SPEAKER_00: Those games are actually the semi-finals, they're actually on Saturday, the 19th of September.
23:43
SPEAKER_00: Now it might be the Sunday as well, but it's not for this weekend.
23:45
SPEAKER_00: So following weekend there.
23:47
SPEAKER_00: And and again, I just think was there just before we before we head off into the sunset, the we were just having a quick check.
23:53
SPEAKER_00: The Junior B at the weekend there.
23:55
SPEAKER_00: If you give me a moment here, play play with bear with me.
23:57
SPEAKER_00: We go to Junior C last weekend, uh Friday.
24:00
SPEAKER_00: It was a draw between Easky and Castle Connor.
24:02
SPEAKER_00: And as we've all now learned, that not every I think quarterfinals are replays, semi-finals are extra time and end on the day, and finals can be a replay.
24:11
SPEAKER_00: So Easky and Castleconnor, and again, you probably wouldn't be thinking I'll go and play with a junior C.
24:15
SPEAKER_00: No, we have to play another game.
24:16
SPEAKER_00: So that was David replay on.
24:17
SPEAKER_00: Uh, and then it was Tuber Curry 227 to Colerie 11.
24:21
SPEAKER_00: I seen a picture there with a few uh Tubbercurry legends in the picture as well.
24:24
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, quite possibly, yeah, quite possibly.
24:26
SPEAKER_00: So, and yeah, so the fixtures just to let people know, uh, this Friday it's Castle Connor versus Easky.
24:31
SPEAKER_00: That's in St.
24:31
SPEAKER_00: Brendan's Park at half seven Friday night.
24:34
SPEAKER_00: That's the replay, yeah.
24:34
SPEAKER_00: That's the replay, yeah.
24:35
SPEAKER_00: And just very quickly, the junior B will just tell everyone what was going on there.
24:38
SPEAKER_00: Friday night there, St.
24:40
SPEAKER_00: Farn is 2-4, Ballymot 2.13, and Olmore Gales 2-7, Kalani Mullabrina 2-8, a one-point win, and that leads that on to the final, which is on this Friday, and that's Ballymote Round Towers versus Calani.
24:52
SPEAKER_00: That's Friday night at 7 o'clock out in Triple Curry under lights.
24:56
SPEAKER_00: So there you go.
24:56
SPEAKER_00: So Friday night lights for the Junior B final.
24:58
SPEAKER_00: So I suppose that's kind of that's us wrapped up on the group stage.
25:02
SPEAKER_00: As me, you thought when we started this Sligo Club podcast, we'd have done the first one and now we'd be back.
25:06
SPEAKER_00: I know.
25:06
SPEAKER_00: But it's been a great role coaster, it's been great interest.
25:08
SPEAKER_00: Thanks to everyone by the way, that's been listening, watching, tuning in, talking to us about different things.
25:12
SPEAKER_00: And again, if you're loving what we're doing, we love what we're doing.
25:14
SPEAKER_00: The links are in our bio on our socials for our Patreon, or there's other ways to just donate and support us if you can.
25:20
SPEAKER_00: If you can't, it's okay.
25:21
SPEAKER_00: We're not putting anything behind the paywall.
25:22
SPEAKER_00: No, this is just like a hat tip to us.
25:24
SPEAKER_00: Everything'll still be there free for everyone.
25:26
SPEAKER_00: So the Patreon is just a means of giving us a hat tip.
25:28
SPEAKER_01: And just for our top scorers, yeah, the top score.
25:30
SPEAKER_00: Now we we only cover this in the senior, it can be hard enough getting information from matches.
25:33
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
25:34
SPEAKER_00: So top scorer, and we're open to correction is Darek Callahan from Omar Gales.
25:37
SPEAKER_01: Dark Allen ended up with 2-5 at the weekend, which is 11 points, obviously.
25:41
SPEAKER_01: Um, he's a super young footballer.
25:44
SPEAKER_01: He was in Canada for the summer, he's come back, and I know Ryan Phillips, who got top scorer in one of the other weeks.
25:51
SPEAKER_01: One of the other weeks that we were doing it, he wasn't playing at the weekend, so Darek Allahan obviously picked up the mantle from where he left off and rattled in two five.
25:58
SPEAKER_01: So it's fair clipping.
26:00
SPEAKER_01: And we're open to correction on that.
26:01
SPEAKER_01: But from what the reports that we have, we obviously mentioned Kieran Gorman with 10 points.
26:05
SPEAKER_01: That's right.
26:05
SPEAKER_01: Um, I think there was Usher Gorman from Bud Nadin, got one six or one seven.
26:10
SPEAKER_00: And so if anyone has any newer and more detail than that, so that's the top score.
26:14
SPEAKER_00: And the name again is uh Darek Allen.
26:16
SPEAKER_00: Dark Allen.
26:17
SPEAKER_00: And so that's of course today, he will get a lovely session out in Sweat Happens, uh reboot, a reset and recovery, I should say.
26:23
SPEAKER_00: I was get that wrong.
26:24
SPEAKER_00: Uh reboot is our other sponsors.
26:25
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, uh, so I actually visited the lads there uh over a week ago and we put out a little video during the week.
26:31
SPEAKER_00: Go and check it out.
26:32
SPEAKER_00: It's a lovely space from the from the recovery booths and then out down to the back there's this lovely sauna, uh jacuzzi, and and plunge boots.
26:39
SPEAKER_00: Good setup, yeah.
26:40
SPEAKER_00: So that's really good setup, and I said, look, we can book in groups and all that, but no, it was really good.
26:44
SPEAKER_00: So well done.
26:44
SPEAKER_00: So that's that's what that man will win.
26:46
SPEAKER_00: And then our player of the week.
26:47
SPEAKER_00: Now we did this before, we'll get you at home.
26:49
SPEAKER_00: We'll put it on our Instagram, maybe tonight, and whoever votes, whoever gets the most votes wins.
26:54
SPEAKER_00: So who did you pick out over the week?
26:55
SPEAKER_00: And I I kind of had to call in Scotty Lynch, anyways, from that play.
26:59
SPEAKER_01: Scotty Lynch, Scotty Lynch from St.
27:00
SPEAKER_01: Mary's.
27:01
SPEAKER_01: Um, we had Keelan Hart from Kulera Strand Hill, who, you know, he's had super performances throughout the championship.
27:07
SPEAKER_01: And Ryan Bailey from Tour de Strand, six points, good clipping against your neighbours there as well.
27:12
SPEAKER_01: And for a man that's coming back from injury and doesn't always start for them.
27:16
SPEAKER_01: It's you know, he deserves his nomination there this week.
27:18
SPEAKER_00: Okay, so we'll put them up on our Instagram and then we'll let you vote for a couple of days and we'll probably announce that on Friday.
27:23
SPEAKER_00: So that's that brings to a close our first pod of the week, first of two.
27:28
SPEAKER_00: So if you're watching this, we will have another one which will preview the weekend.
27:31
SPEAKER_00: Uh and that'll be coming out whatever day this comes out.
27:33
SPEAKER_00: Hopefully it's what day is now Wednesday.
27:34
SPEAKER_00: We'll hopefully get it out tonight, but probably Friday morning we'll put out the second one.
27:38
SPEAKER_00: So thanks for watching.
27:39
SPEAKER_00: Thanks to EJ's Men's Rare and Reboot Fitness for being our main sponsors of the podcast.
27:43
SPEAKER_00: And of course, uh Sherlock's Butchers, I meant to say, of course, whoever ends up being player of the week will get the Sherlock's Butchers uh protein pack.
27:48
SPEAKER_00: So thanks to Sherlock's Butchers, and of course, to Sweat Happens out in Turbo Curry.
27:52
SPEAKER_00: We'll see you all in a couple of days with the next episode.
