GAA 2022

[Cork Evertonian]

Nine different scorers sounds good, but five were one point and two were just two points. 8 from Rock from frees.

Lots of work to do ahead of Kerry or Mayo.

Cork has a young team that needs experience at top level. Maybe a bit in awe in the second half, or maybe just out of steam after a good first half performance albeit poor shooting

I think it was a combination of Corks poor fitness, and Dublin to be fair really lifted it in that second half as well. Cork need to go all out for promotion from division two next year imo.

Delighted for Jonny Cooper to get POTM - my style of defender, but he really showed the rest when they were so flat how to get the flipping lead out!

Watching the wimmin -Dubs v Mayo.

Some tough ladies out there as usual.

Dubs should have enough at this stage - 12 points ahead with 9 minutes to go.

I think it is has turned into a terrible sport, so boring, hurling as a spectacle far ahead of it and I would have played Gaelic football all my life growing up and even as an early adult. I will watch the Kerry v Mayo match today or some of it but it is just down to probably nothing else to watch.

I will watch both, and rooting for @Armaghtoffee !

Neutral enough in the other, but expect Kerry to win.

While we await today's football, this is a real heart warming story - the foundation of East Belfast GAA Club beginning in the middle of 2020. despite Covid, the club has gone from strength in men's football and hurling, and with ladies Camogie (ladies version of hurling) and Ladies Football

Absolutely wonderful story, seeing youngsters from all religious backgrounds coming together to proudly represent East Belfast. The President of the Club is a Protestant Unionist lady, who has also learned to speak Irish.

RTE viewers hail 'Le Chéile' doc charting formation of East Belfast GAA club

This was the first episode in a documentary that chronicles how the club was established and continues to grow

If you can get RTE Player the first episode is available.

@Sassy Colombian - you should enjoy this. Might even be at home in the Messymascot thread - a real good news story.

 

[Bluerover]

Armagh gone from a four point lead to now behind 1-9 to 0-8. Terrible 15 minutes either side of HT

 

[Bluerover]

Back to 2 points but then a stupid red card. Come on the Orchard!

 

[dublinbluenose]

If it was Dublin player did rhat they'd have been calling for a red straight away.

What a finish to the game

 

[blue to the bone]

Who ever wins will be down a few for the semi final anyway

 

[miami]

Jesus, that was reminiscent of the mayo/meath rumble back in the day. Whoever goes through might have 1/3 of their team missing through suspension.

 

[blue to the bone]

The gouging there was a disgrace

The gouging there was a disgrace

Agreed. Saying that, whoever did it seemed to get their comeuppance after getting floored soon after by a haymaker.
