Normal service has resumed was never going to be any other outcome, only for Noel Conaty we would have won by 20 points. Morgan Gavigan holding David Williams scoreless from play is a fair achievement. Fair play to the Gaels tho they have definitely closed the gap somewhat. Some very nice hurlers eoin Daly played excellently today likewise Shane Williams,

Expect a bumper crowd with free admission"
Accurate prediction but Castletown by 7.
They had a potent forward line that hit 1-27 for this time of the year which is good going, could have had even more only for exceptional goalkeeping from Noel Conaty. Hard on the Gaels losing two finals in a row, they've done great work and have improved massively over the last couple of years.

Fair play to Ctown, they pulled away in the 2nd half, it means one of the big 3 have won every year since Pollard in 2005, 20 years ago next year. It would surely give hope to everyone else to see another team win it.

Better team won
It'll be another 20 years before anyone outside of the 3 will win a senior title
Other clubs just don't have the numbers required to challenge consistently

Agree about numbers. And CTG are covering a huge area to keep their squad up.

I wouldnt be so pessimistic.Na Piarsaig and Clann Na Gael amalgamations are going well and senior b final was the best quality I have seen outside the A.

David O'Reilly is some talent, probably the best forward in the county at present. Ably assisted by Niall O'Brien, Conor Murphy, Aonghus Clarke, Liam Varley and Peter Murphy.

All of those will be needed by the Bulfin/O Brien team. Shane Williams is another key new player for us.
