Replying To WanPintWin:  "The trend continued in extra-time. Crokes got a lot of soft frees, which in reality kept them in the game for stretches.
What a fantastic game it was though and an exhibition from both Canavans. They were absolutely outstanding.
For a game in the middle of winter on a fairly soft pitch, it was a brilliantly entertaining."
Darragh's sliding catch and quick pass to Ruairi for him to dummy his man and stick ball over the bar is normal for these pair. Brains makes football very easy.

Errigal evens, Cuala 6/5. I suspect Errigal will start shades of odds on.

That 5/2 as advised wasn't bad! Cuala will need to stop fading out of games. Going to catch up with them I fear.

Two great finals to look foward to. Two fist time champions no matter what outcome.

Replying To Eddie the Exile:  "Crokes equaliser free at end 1st half ET was clearly a free out. Add that to the pile there."
The referee was woeful

No one would have predicted the 4 club finalists this year - SFC & SHC.

Great to see, and hopefully at least one Dublin club can prevail.

The Canavan's are a joy to watch and Con & Fitzy also.

Both games have the makings of crackers and hopefully both live up to expectations on that front.

Looking forward to heading in to Croker next Sunday.

A great game of football earlier. EC were worthy winners but made hard work of it. The Canavans are a joy to watch. Oguz was very good as well when the fat was in the fire.

Cuala need to improve, they made a bit of history today for their club, but for me, the winner was probably always coming from the other semifinal

I fancy Errigal by 3+

Replying To CorkLiamMcCarthy24:  "Will GAA give crokes a extra week to recover for final?"
They've definitely given them next weekend off anyway.

New year and you're already tipping anyone playing again a Dublin team.

Happy New Year Jimbo.

Yep, Cuala need to improve and put in a full 60mins+ performance.
Made hard work of it today but the Sligo men really put it up to them.

At least they now know they need to improve next weekend.

Errigal definitely favourites, brilliant display today almost undone today, especially in normal time by unbalanced referee, Mack Hansen should make a statement on behalf of Errigal LOL,

I've been talking these two boys up for a number of years now. When Darragh was still a minor and breaking on to the scene , Tyrone people were beginning to talk about Ruairi. The U20 semifinal in 2022 against Kerry then put Ruairi on the scene. I think I've said it on Hoganstand that Peter could finish the third best player in that house.
