Replying To johncreilly:  "Tailteann is a good competition and we will no doubt go after it if we end up there, but if your league position got you into an All Ireland, or though perhaps unlikely, you turned over Mayo, would you not be more excited by testing yourself against the best in the country? Interested to know what people think?
Also, I agree with some of the above sentiments, that there is a fear we could get a dose of reality in 2025 and out upward trend could plummet. Here's hoping that won't happen."
Really hope we push on this year. Listened to Tony Mcentee on Ocean Fm this week. Still can't work him out. Getting excuses in about teams with new backroom teams are at a disadvantage like Sligo.who have new backroom team.. well why get in a new backroom team ?? I give him a lot of credit with sticking with Sligo project and do believe he is a good manager but he does say some bizzare things. In Tony I will trust for another season... Sligeach abu

Good fight from Coolera 2nd half but overall they will be disappointed with their shooting today just a like over 40% while in the Connacht final it was over 70%.

The Sligo team were brutal in the first half and the amount of back passes to the keeper turned into an embarrassment… Cuala got dragged down to their opponents level and therefore allowed them back in somewhat but were in absolute no danger of loosing

2 points from nine shots wasn't good from the Sligo champions in the 1st half. Cuala sat back and hit them on the counter for 6 points in the 1st half. And with the game finely balanced at 0-10 to 0-8 they returned to those same tactics for their final 4 points of the match.

Managers rarely make sense when interviewed in the off season. I remember a few years ago the Kerry lad that was manager of Roscommon,John Evans said that Roscommon were close to winning an All Ireland and would do so very soon. Paidi O Se, Davey Fitz are 2 All Ireland winning managers that often came out with rubbish. Things will settle when the ball gets thrown in.
