Mayo GAA Discussion Part 2

eastmayo

Westport should be leading at halftime. Need to get lee keegan more involved in 2nd half.

seligehgit

Westport shooting has been less than optimum.

seligehgit

Westport have levelled it up
6 points a piece.

8-6 to Kenmare now.

9-6 kenmare now. Less than 10 minutes left.

seligehgit

Kenmare 9-6 up,Westport's inexperience has been telling today.

seligehgit

Great goal chance spurned.

Penalty to westport!

seligehgit

Great call by the umpire.. Penalty for Westport.

Level! 1-6 to 0-9!!

seligehgit

We're going to extra time.

Just a sidenote: localstreaming.club have a note on their facebook page saying that the website has gone down hence the alternative youtube link:

Kenmare do look the more likely winners. Westport lads appear to be running on empty.

seligehgit

What a score!

Ahead by a point are Westport!

seligehgit

Perfect time to hit the front.

3 mins of extra time in a 10 min half???

2 up now though!

EDIT: Over! Westport 1-10 Kenmare 0-11.

seligehgit

Fantastic win for Westport!

eastmayo

Absolutely delighted for westport....really deserved to win....now go on and win the all ireland.

Fowler87

Great score to seal the win. They did ride their luck a bit in the 2nd half of ET with the double hop and stone wall free that was given for Kenmare. Deserved win though in awful conditions.

seligehgit

There'll be no Leeroy and Kevin Keane available until after St. Patrick's day.

Incredible that Leeroy is oldest player on that Westport team at 27 years of age!

Final is Feb 19th.

Shambolic refereeing throughout for both sides.

Westport looked by far the stronger team, but Kenmare had it all but wrapped up before the "typical GAA comback penalty" decision.

2 yellow cards for barging, a black card for a shoulder, no free for a shoulder to the chest and 3 minutes aditional time announced and only 2 played!

Neither side deserved to lose that game with Wesport spurning loads of chances, and Kenmare having not been behind all game up to the last 3 minutes of injury time.

Will be playing St Colmcilles of Meath in the final. They beat Pomeroy Plunketts by 3-11 to 2-13.

Thanks Yoda :P

Great win for Westport. They're good defensively, but lacking a bit up front, imo. They should have won the game by more really, given the chances they had. February 19th will be another good day out though.

Unreal. I knew they were young but there is no one better to look up to. I hope they do the business now as it would only be right that a player like Keegan who will always do what is necessary, gets an all Ireland medal.

Aidan O'Shea will miss the start of Mayo's national league campaign because of an ankle injury picked up playing basketball.

Mayo manager Stephen Rochford has confirmed the former All-Star will miss Saturday's clash against Monaghan in Castlebar.

But he is hopeful the 26-year old,who linked up with the EJ's Sligo All-Stars during the winter will recover in time for the trip to play Kerry the following week.

O'Shea wore a moon boot to protect his injured ankle when attending EJ's Sligo All-Stars Division One final loss to Neptune on Saturday night at the National Arena.

Mayo players can't stop losing finals can they, regardless of the sport. (I know he as not playing but you get the point)

Hopefully Westport win next month, a few Mayo teams have been to the junior or intermediate finals over the years but never won if I recall, so a win would be nice.

seligehgit

Yes Kiltimagh,Ardnaree and Hollymount Carramore as far as I can recall have all chalked up losses in recent years.

Here's hoping the covies can do the business.:D

Throw Davitts into that list while we are at it.

Forgot about them..It was on the back of that campaign Colm Boyle got his big breakthrough onto the senior team.

martyos121

Didn't Kiltane lose a final as well a few years back?

MayoAreMagic

How many of those losses were against Kerry clubs?

The system Kerry implement make it very unfair on teams from other counties as regards the All Ireland club series for junior and intermediate levels.

They basically have Senior standard clubs competing at Intermediate and Intermediate level clubs at Junior.

No harm if he was on the side line till may

I'd like to see him left out for an extended period, just to see how we would operate without him. I know Keegan is missing too but if we were to field near strength sides, I'd like to see what we would be like without Aidan involved.

A town the size of Westport really should be operating at senior level though, I hope they can keep this group of players together and achieve that.

Mitchels dropping to intermediate was just the kick in the arse they needed to get their act together, hopefully this is the start of something similar for Westport.

I think they lost a SF rather than a Final.

Kilmeena lost an all ireland junior v nobber of meath in 03 by 3 points I think.

I'd be expecting great things not too long in to the future from this Westport team including a senior county title if they can keep the current group of players on board.

I've double checked and they did indeed lose the 2014 Intermediate final to Truagh from Monaghan. Back when Tommy Goals was on top form, he's been absolutely cursed with injuries since unfortunately.

They sure know how to hype a game up... Connacht giants:) sounds like something from the times of Fionn MacCumhaill!So what does that make Monaghan?God knows what levels of hyperbole they'll come up with when it comes to the All Ireland champion's first televised game!

Any replay of the game post Saturday?
