- 0:28SPEAKER_01: But more importantly, for now, we've got merch.
- 0:31SPEAKER_01: So we got ye to decide to help us pick the design.
- 0:34SPEAKER_01: We went to Goa Sports there out in O'Connery.
- 0:37SPEAKER_01: We have all our lovely sponsors on the back.

- 0:57SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 0:57SPEAKER_01: Joined as always by Darren Kearnsy here.
- 1:00SPEAKER_01: Junior A final.
- 1:01SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:02SPEAKER_01: Turned into a match that not everyone thought was going to be that way.
- 1:06SPEAKER_01: Again, obviously congrats to Owmore Gales.
- 1:08SPEAKER_01: They they dug it out in the 68th minute, eighth minutes of injury time.
- 1:12SPEAKER_01: So congrats to them.
- 1:13SPEAKER_01: But this was a game I think that everyone will tell you.
- 1:15SPEAKER_01: Well, maybe in fairness to Own Moore, they said to me after this that we always thought it'd be a tough battle.
- 1:19SPEAKER_01: Whether they genuinely believed that we don't know.
- 1:21SPEAKER_00: But from the out from the outside, there was an awful lot of people who had St.
- 1:24SPEAKER_00: Michaels wrote off from the get-go.
- 1:26SPEAKER_00: And St.
- 1:27SPEAKER_00: Michaels to their credit, like commiserations to them.
- 1:31SPEAKER_01: Just a quick thanks to our sponsors, EJ Menswear and EJ Menswear.com here in Sligo Town.
- 1:35SPEAKER_01: And also to RebootFitness in Turbo Curry, Troyesran, and now in Charlestown.
- 1:40SPEAKER_01: Check out rebootfitness, trubercurry.com, check them out on social media and download their app to sign up.
- 1:46SPEAKER_00: They really, really, really went at it from the get-go and to be pipped at the death in the fashion that they were is just it's it's very unlucky.
- 1:55SPEAKER_00: But that is sport, unfortunately.
- 1:57SPEAKER_01: That is sport, and as you said, it was eight minutes of injury time.
- 1:59SPEAKER_01: And you know, there was a moment there where the hero of the day, Kyle Davy, if anyone hasn't seen it, like six two pointers in the game, five and twenty minutes in the first half.
- 2:06SPEAKER_01: Like I was watching the first half online, and then I came into the stadium in the second half, but like the commentators like I've never seen anything like it, and every time he got it, like it was unbelievable kicking by Kyle Davy.
- 2:16SPEAKER_01: And then, like, obviously, it was the sixth minute of injury time at the end where he had another chance.
- 2:19SPEAKER_01: Now, in fairness, it was a much tougher chance.
- 2:21SPEAKER_00: Tougher chance uh into into the breeze late on because like he was up and down the field having to do them that little doggy running, and then he had a couple of excellent saves throughout the game catches and saves and he handled loads of ball underneath.
- 2:36SPEAKER_00: I think the mighty mean one of them was over the crossbar as he caught it.
- 2:38SPEAKER_00: That's right, and he was just he was superb throughout.
- 2:42SPEAKER_01: And it's not often a player from the losing team gets mad in the match, but the whole stadium was like in agreement with a match.
- 2:47SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 2:47SPEAKER_01: So it was unbelievable.
- 2:48SPEAKER_01: But like, and I suppose if you were the neutral there, it was so exhilarating to watch going, my god, there and they were still eight points up halfway through the second half, I think, if not mistaken.
- 2:56SPEAKER_01: And they like a lot of people said, Oh, well, maybe after his miss there, if it had gone wide, but like no one would have given out if it ended then, like you know, no, exactly.
- 3:04SPEAKER_00: Yeah, if it was run up there, it was it was just one of these games, but like they like say Michael's like in the first half, you know, they obviously had the the elements behind their back playing into the town goals, and obviously Kyle Davy as is better known as Beans, maybe to people out there.
- 3:22SPEAKER_00: But his kicking was it was on point, it really was.
- 3:25SPEAKER_00: And Omer Gates probably were caught a little bit shell-shocked.
- 3:28SPEAKER_00: I thought I I watched it back.
- 3:29SPEAKER_00: I wasn't at it myself, but I watched it back, and they seemed to be um doing stuff that they hadn't been doing in other games.
- 3:37SPEAKER_00: But that was probably down to St.
- 3:38SPEAKER_00: Michael's as well.
- 3:38SPEAKER_01: I thought St.
- 3:39SPEAKER_00: Michaels defensively they must have been looking a bit of St.
- 3:41SPEAKER_01: Mary's.
- 3:42SPEAKER_01: Like they both those defenses in the games I watched, and obviously this was my first time seeing them in the flesh, uh St.
- 3:47SPEAKER_01: Michaels, this year, but like they really had a dogged tenacious defence there, and they had the setup so well.
- 3:52SPEAKER_00: And like maybe and the lot and I mentioned it on the on the show here last week that there are two midfielders, Gavin McGowan and Jack Haran, are all action midfielders and they're up and down.
- 4:02SPEAKER_00: And like they had a superb out of the game.
- 4:03SPEAKER_00: Unbelievable game.
- 4:04SPEAKER_00: They were unbelievable.
- 4:05SPEAKER_00: They really did.
- 4:05SPEAKER_00: Like Jack brought the fight to them.
- 4:07SPEAKER_00: And I think at one stage the co-commentator um on the day when he Gorley mentioned that he was like an out-half and rugby because he was on every little free or free kick that had to be taken, whether it was holding possession or uh getting he got a free kick himself that he kicked over the bar.
- 4:22SPEAKER_00: But there was a couple of occasions there that he just really controlled the game, and like he was up against you know, big guys there in midfield for Omer Gales, who have had you know, they've had their measure of most of the midfielders that they came up with throughout the championship.
- 4:34SPEAKER_00: But Omer Gales, I'd say, to their credit, they stuck at their task.
- 4:38SPEAKER_00: Like that game was getting away from them, and it would have been very easy to you know throw the toys out here and say, look, it's just not working out for us.
- 4:46SPEAKER_00: But they kept added, they kept adding the grinding.
- 4:49SPEAKER_00: Dylan, Dylan Walsh and Darrell, Darek Allen.
- 4:51SPEAKER_01: Dark Allen was just like when they were when the things weren't going well, they were kind of just clipping in.
- 4:55SPEAKER_01: And I even though Dylan Walsh went out on midfield, they're probably going and I'm going to start hitting the middle ball.
- 4:59SPEAKER_00: He got some great scores throughout the game, and at crucial, crucial times, he got one just before half time that was badly needed, and he gave the fist up to the crowd because he knew that was a big score at that time, you know.
- 5:09SPEAKER_00: And again in the second half, when it when they needed a score, he came up with it with his left foot, and like he's predominantly right footed, and he's predominantly uh, or more so, usually plays in the back line or it's a halfback.
- 5:21SPEAKER_00: All right, and he's obviously wearing number 14, but he's playing in that little kind of middle third, but you know, he's he's he's a top quality footballer, he really is.
- 5:28SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and again, even after 48 minutes, there was eight points in it, and then Connor Davy gets his goal.
- 5:33SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it starts to claw back and claw back.
- 5:35SPEAKER_01: Is it 56 minutes?
- 5:36SPEAKER_01: There was a point in it, and then the 64th minute or Corinne had a goal chance.
- 5:40SPEAKER_01: Yeah, while Davy 66th had that chance to to well, it probably possibly would have been to win it, I'm sure.
- 5:46SPEAKER_01: Uh, and then it's just Gary Anderson, the super, yeah.
- 5:48SPEAKER_01: He got two points, if not mistaken.
- 5:50SPEAKER_01: I think did he go too?
- 5:51SPEAKER_01: Do you know what?
- 5:51SPEAKER_01: When you watch some of these games, you get so enthralled with it.
- 5:54SPEAKER_00: He got a free as well, and he got two from play.
- 5:56SPEAKER_00: Well, if you check the papers tomorrow and Thursday, uh Lee Maloney and Scarry will definitely have all the details of the code.
- 6:01SPEAKER_00: Fair introduction now off the bench.
- 6:03SPEAKER_00: Um, but again, it's it's it's something that was needed, you know, that they needed a little bit of something different, and and he got on the ball and like that score at the end, he clipped it over, he put it up into the breeze with his left foot and it curled over the bar.
- 6:14SPEAKER_00: You mentioned Connor Davies' goal.
- 6:15SPEAKER_00: Connor Davies' a good man for a goal, he really is.
- 6:18SPEAKER_00: Um, he's always nipping in and out.
- 6:19SPEAKER_00: I I've I I've I've had to pick it out of the net on him a couple of occasions down through the year.
- 6:23SPEAKER_00: First hand.
- 6:24SPEAKER_00: But like it was just it was one of them St.
- 6:26SPEAKER_00: Michaels had the ball.
- 6:27SPEAKER_00: Uh Kyle Davy caught a free from Darek Allen that came short.
- 6:31SPEAKER_00: He fisted it out to one of the St.
- 6:33SPEAKER_00: Michaels guys who turned, fisted it back, and then the age-old saying is don't try and fist the ball over anybody's head, it gets cut out more often than it doesn't, and in that situation the ball breaks to Connor Davy then, and he puts it into the bottom corner.
- 6:47SPEAKER_00: And that was the lifeline that Omer Gales needed.
- 6:50SPEAKER_00: Because I think without them hitting the onion bag, I don't think they were coming back into the game.
- 6:53SPEAKER_00: And in them games, when you do get that lifeline, it's up to you to kick on, and they did, and they didn't look back after that.
- 7:00SPEAKER_00: And but like St.
- 7:01SPEAKER_00: Michaels, yeah, I know that people are giving them credit, and I suppose there was probably an awful lot of people around the county that didn't give them the credit that they deserve because getting to uh getting to a county final is it's it's tough going, you know, especially after that they'd lost a couple of games throughout the group, and you know, they had a great win over St.
- 7:19SPEAKER_00: Milash Gales in the semi-final to bring their best foot forward for the final and to just get pipped at the post.
- 7:25SPEAKER_01: Yeah, no, real, real tricky day out there, and and as I said, uh it will give them no solace, you know.
- 7:31SPEAKER_01: Listen to us too today.
- 7:32SPEAKER_01: And I met one, I met Sabrina actually afterwards.
- 7:34SPEAKER_01: They just say, Look, I don't know what to say to you other than like what a battle, unbelievable.
- 7:39SPEAKER_01: It made no sense, no diff no difference to them.
- 7:41SPEAKER_01: Like, but uh like they really turned the forum book upside down on that day.
- 7:45SPEAKER_01: Like, and I think a lot of people in the stadium were shocked.
- 7:47SPEAKER_01: And in fairness, to credit to O'Mor, they'll be like, and I talked to Nile Hodgins afterwards, and I was like, Yeah, well, they've learnt now from that as well.
- 7:52SPEAKER_01: And they go, We we knew this wouldn't be as easy as everyone was saying, like, and local rivalry as well, yeah, which can bring its own element into it, and like anyone on a final day, like there can be just nerves creep in, and first Ryan Phillips and the guys there came through as well with a few scores.
- 8:04SPEAKER_01: But uh, no, it was absolutely uh amazing game.
- 8:08SPEAKER_01: And I mean, like, when have I ever gone through junior?
- 8:09SPEAKER_01: A final and like this year, just seeing games like that and seeing the players coming through, and a fairness home gales are division one as well.
- 8:15SPEAKER_01: Like, so they've had a fair connuct now as well.
- 8:18SPEAKER_01: Uh, I'm sure they're not worried about connoct tonight or last night, no, but definitely not.
- 8:21SPEAKER_01: But like it would just be interesting to see now where they grow from that game and and like you know, will will the team measure up against them differently, or will they now kick on again from that?
- 8:28SPEAKER_01: But uh yeah, no, look at congrats to both teams in the reason game and commiserations to St.
- 8:33SPEAKER_01: Michaels.
- 8:33SPEAKER_01: But look at best of luck to Omar Gales in Connoct.
- 8:35SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and then we move on to the second game.
- 8:37SPEAKER_01: We had Ballymote and Curry again.
- 8:39SPEAKER_01: First half kind of took a while to get going.
- 8:41SPEAKER_01: What was it?
- 8:42SPEAKER_01: It was like five, six to Curry at halftime.
- 8:44SPEAKER_01: Slow starter, slow burner, yeah.
- 8:46SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and this was after the enthralling nature we had at the end of the first game.
- 8:48SPEAKER_01: Everyone's like, Oh, it's gone I know, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 8:50SPEAKER_01: It's gone down a bit.
- 8:51SPEAKER_01: But like again, uh at one stage, if I'm not mistaken, there was nine points in it in the 42nd minute, and Ballymot kept coming back.
- 9:00SPEAKER_00: I was down to three definitely two or three, yeah, towards towards towards the end of the game.
- 9:04SPEAKER_00: And again, no more than anything else, it's it's we'll we'll call it the championship quarter.
- 9:09SPEAKER_00: I think uh Stephen Henry was on CoComs, and that'll championship quarter between just before halftime and just after halftime, and that's when Curry kind of flexed her muscles and like the guy that we've mentioned on this pod on numerous occasions, the age-old statesman uh Adrian Marin, outside the right boot, two-pointer for 55 yards.
- 9:28SPEAKER_00: Now, look at he knows Mark Fitch Park inside out, he knows the breeze, he knows where the goals don't move, as the man says, like you know, but it was it was a super score, and then Ben Durkin, who was introduced early in the first half after about 20 minutes, he comes on the pitch and he gets a goal.
- 9:44SPEAKER_00: You know, anybody that hasn't seen it on social media it is worth watching.
- 9:48SPEAKER_00: Serious athlete.
- 9:49SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we were up in the press box with loads of that man can fairly go.
- 9:52SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he did, and it was just like it was.
- 9:54SPEAKER_00: And if you're looking at it, it was you know, cuteness again by Tommy Henry and Adrian Myron in the full forward line who left the space for him and he ghosted into the space and then just absolutely gives King Kilcoin no chance with the finish into the top corner.
- 10:07SPEAKER_00: Super goal, and again, no more than anything else, it looked like Ballimoto were going to be dead and buried, and to their credit, they came back and they kicked a few two-pointers.
- 10:16SPEAKER_00: Michael Raff there, midfield, kicked an excellent two-pointer.
- 10:18SPEAKER_00: Jack Lavin got up the field, kicked another boomer from distance, and Iron Brennan kicked him with the outside of the left foot.
- 10:24SPEAKER_00: And like with these new rules, and we've said it all through the time that we've been doing this pod, is teams are never out of games, you know, because a couple of two-pointers here or there, and it brings you right back into a game.
- 10:36SPEAKER_00: And they made a right game of it, and I and another guy that we've mentioned who's the wrong side of 40, Dermot McTiernan, came on for Ballymote and he caused havoc in that full forward line.
- 10:45SPEAKER_00: Yeah, lumping it in then.
- 10:47SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he got two points, one with the right foot, and another that he fisted over the bar, and he is obviously he's left footed, as we mentioned as well.
- 10:53SPEAKER_00: But it was just if that had nestled into the top corner, you know, would that have given Ballymote, you know, the oxygen to go on and win it, or would Curry have, you know, what would they have taken from?
- 11:05SPEAKER_01: As you said, like it was 6-5 after about 20 minutes the first half.
- 11:07SPEAKER_01: Yeah, then between that and like the 32nd minute, which is two minutes into the second half, it was one one nine to five.
- 11:12SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and it went up to nine.
- 11:13SPEAKER_01: And we could kind of again up in the press going, this looks like it's just going one way, like you know, there's nothing clicking.
- 11:18SPEAKER_01: But fairness uh to to Balymore, now they are a young team by all accounts, and from listening to people more know more than I do now, yeah.
- 11:25SPEAKER_01: It's like, okay, I'm sure they wanted to win it, of course, but maybe that's a team building, yeah, and a good man.
- 11:30SPEAKER_00: And Bob's like I suppose both keepers were excellent as well, like uh Sean Marn for Curry and Keynes Coyne.
- 11:36SPEAKER_00: A couple of big, big saves.
- 11:37SPEAKER_00: Sean Marn in the first half, he kept out one from uh one of the Brennan's, and I think broke to his brother who volleyed it over the bar for a point.
- 11:44SPEAKER_00: But a goal at that time in the game would have been absolutely crucial for Ballymote because it was against the elements, it would have been against the run of play, also.
- 11:52SPEAKER_00: And you know, you need your keeper coming up with big moments like that, and hat tip to him for doing that.
- 11:56SPEAKER_00: And obviously, then Alan Riley was immense in the middle of the field.
- 11:59SPEAKER_00: Like, and he had a good battle throughout with the Ballymote guys, but himself and his brother Liam got some great scores, like they really did.
- 12:06SPEAKER_00: Like Alan and Alan got a yellow card in the first half, and in them game situations where where you know there's no quarter being asked or given, you know, you're you're dicing, and when you're on a yellow, it's tricky to get your game going right if you're gonna have a yellow here for one little sleep, yeah.
- 12:21SPEAKER_00: Of course, because uh you know, a second yellow off the pitch, you know, but he got two two great points back to back, a two-pointer and one with his left foot then that he absolutely knows.
- 12:31SPEAKER_00: After the yellow, yeah, it was it was, yeah, yeah.
- 12:34SPEAKER_00: And uh and his brother Liam got up and got a got a great score, and then Adrian then clips in with a couple of like he didn't get like he got five points, don't get me wrong, that's good clipping in a county final, but he got on a lot of ball that he just didn't lose and managed the game well, and that was in the second half, like there was one there was on two or three occasions in just in front of the dugouts, he handled about four or five balls in a row and gave none of them away, just kept possession.
- 12:59SPEAKER_00: It was kind of like the cool head, the experienced head at the time that it was badly needed.
- 13:03SPEAKER_00: And even at the death then as well, I suppose Ballymote had uh chance for a two-pointer that they went, and then of course Michael Lavin went off injured.
- 13:12SPEAKER_00: Like that was a huge blow to them because he's a huge player.
- 13:16SPEAKER_00: Like you could see the poor man wasn't right.
- 13:18SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he wasn't, he wasn't, and I and I I hope he doesn't have too severe damage done.
- 13:22SPEAKER_00: It looked like a knee, and you know, with them ligaments that's going around in the knee, I hope it's I hope it's nothing too serious, and he bounces back from that.
- 13:29SPEAKER_00: But losing him, you know, uh he did try and come back on, and you know, that was a blow to Ballymote, but obviously they they kept going and they fought right to the end, they really did, and they were just unlucky in the end.
- 13:42SPEAKER_00: And Curry probably and Curry have done this a lot in the in the championship, they're kind of they've done enough in games without being overly clinical, like they've they've kind of played in patches, even throughout the group stages, you know, or even against Bud Nadden, sure, they were 9-4 up on Bud Nadden at halftime as well, and then they take their foot off the gas.
- 13:59SPEAKER_00: So if Curry were playing like that, I know it doesn't happen all the time, but if they were playing like that for more than 15-20 minutes, they probably would win a lot more comfortably.
- 14:08SPEAKER_00: But credit to Ballymote, no more than St.
- 14:10SPEAKER_00: Michaels, they died with their boots on and they just came up short in the end.
- 14:13SPEAKER_01: And the fair of saying I was very impressed.
- 14:15SPEAKER_01: Aaron Brennan, Jack Heaver, they were very busy up front, they were running balls and Thomas Sweeney as well.
- 14:20SPEAKER_01: Wing back, yeah.
- 14:20SPEAKER_00: Zacho Dowd had a had a great opening uh few minutes and was causing a lot of hassle for the curry full back line.
- 14:26SPEAKER_00: And Dylan Mac, Dylan McLaughlin there joined captain with with Curry.
- 14:30SPEAKER_00: He is a ball.
- 14:32SPEAKER_01: He's like my he's like the to me, the curry uh Connor Davy, just a real natural classy footballer.
- 14:37SPEAKER_00: Just see him on the ball as something else.
- 14:38SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he is, and he but he he kind of said, right, we need to block this guy's space, and whether he was doing it or whether he was getting somebody else to do it, he was making sure that the likes of Zach Codowd or even Jack Everett there in the full forward line, if they were going to get the ball, then they had two curry men to go around or try and cut out the pass that was going into them.
- 14:56SPEAKER_00: And that's smart play as well.
- 14:57SPEAKER_00: And you need that, you need leaders on the pitch when it gets the county final stage doing that for you, like you know.
- 15:02SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
- 15:02SPEAKER_01: And again, uh it was Alan Riley got man of the match there again.
- 15:05SPEAKER_01: I mean, he came up with that last point to just kind of a sweet.
- 15:07SPEAKER_01: Sweet, sweet score outside the right boot.
- 15:09SPEAKER_01: So it was just like he he just epitomised uh a man of the match performance, but everything did again.
- 15:13SPEAKER_00: That was that was the that was the fight and on the cake, it really was against the elements, put her into them, dressing room goals, and you know, the minute that I left his boot, it was going no place else.
- 15:22SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah, that was it.
- 15:23SPEAKER_00: But it's a lovely score.
- 15:23SPEAKER_01: Look, it was the end of 215 to 17.
- 15:25SPEAKER_01: We didn't say that anyway.
- 15:26SPEAKER_01: And the junior the junior A one is sorry, it was obviously uh 114 to 16 points to Omo Gales.
- 15:31SPEAKER_01: But look, two great games, two great finals.
- 15:33SPEAKER_01: I mean, like the senior ones come up this day, this weekend, but like just watching the football in the championship in all levels this season, there's been some absolute ding-dong great days out of it.
- 15:43SPEAKER_01: If you love your GEA, like I would say to anyone, even if you're a blow-in like me, like go out and start watching the club championship.
- 15:49SPEAKER_01: Like, and I like I have to say, like, that's the end of those championships, but like we've been very lucky getting to commentate, and and we haven't commented with intermediate or junior, but like it was a it was a real showcase day of what's up and coming, yeah.
- 16:00SPEAKER_01: And I've no doubt some of these obviously are in the county panel and underage and whatnot.
- 16:04SPEAKER_01: So I think from watching it so far, the talent is there, and hopefully it it you know progresses.
- 16:09SPEAKER_00: Yeah, like and and you'd be hoping that some of them guys can make the step up to intercounty football because, like we mentioned before, that with with with Sligo at Intercounty at the moment, they're not where they want to be or where they need to be.
- 16:19SPEAKER_00: And I'm sure Desi Sloin and his backroom team is going to be looking at them a couple of players in the last two finals there on Sunday, and hopefully you'll be lifting the phone to them and hopefully them guys answer the call and go in and put their shoulder to the wheel for Sligo.
- 16:33SPEAKER_01: Well, before we wrap up this show, as we said, if you're still watching, uh we have our preview of the senior final coming up later in the week.
- 16:39SPEAKER_01: And uh the the top score of the week, uh, unless there was any different information now, thanks.
- 16:44SPEAKER_01: Mr.
- 16:44SPEAKER_01: Kyle Davy for St.
- 16:45SPEAKER_01: Michaels.
- 16:46SPEAKER_00: Six two pointers.
- 16:47SPEAKER_00: Yeah, some kickers.
- 16:48SPEAKER_01: So he'll get his he'll get to recuperate.
- 16:50SPEAKER_01: I'd say there'll be a few players after the Sunday now will need a bit of recuperation, and he'll get his session out and sweat happens in Tubber Curry there.
- 16:56SPEAKER_01: And uh we uh the judges picked the top three players of the week.
- 16:59SPEAKER_01: We went for Alan Riley, correct, Jack Haran, yes, from St.
- 17:02SPEAKER_01: Michael's from Michael, sorry, yeah, Arnold Riley from Curry, and Dylan Walsh from O'More Gales.
- 17:06SPEAKER_01: And like Dylan uh you know might have got loads of scores, but like there was times there when the game was going against him, and he just won some good balls counting scores.
- 17:13SPEAKER_01: So we were kind of with our judging panel trying to go who's the top two side.
- 17:16SPEAKER_00: Jack Haran was all action from the get-go, and he's had a great championship, he really has.
- 17:20SPEAKER_00: And he's uh he's another guy, I think a few years ago, he was in around the Sligo setup and he stepped away.
- 17:25SPEAKER_00: And he'd be a guy that I'm sure they'll be looking at after his action and display last summer.
- 17:30SPEAKER_01: He's getting Sligo management in now during the winter and we grill them and all this.
