THE CLAREGALWAY FOOTBALLERS enjoyed a madcap weekend as they secured two massive wins in the space of 24 hours.
Paul Kilgannon’s side lifted the Galway intermediate title on Saturday, defeating Williamstown by 1-12 to 0-12 at Pearse Stadium.
The county final was delayed for a number of weeks after two separate objections by Oileáin Árann about the eligibility of one of the Williamstown players following their semi-final clash.
Last weekend the Connacht Council’s Hearings Committee threw Oileáin Árann’s appeal out, but they could have opted to appeal that decision. As late as last Thursday night, it was still unclear whether the Aran Islanders would take the case further. On Friday, they decided against another appeal, which meant the Galway IFC final could go ahead the following day.
Claregalway were forced into action the day after their county final success, and they backed it up with a 1-12 to 1-10 Connacht semi-final victory over St John’s Sligo in Markievicz Park.
They’ll face Roscommon’s Michael Glavey’s in the Connacht decider, which takes place on Sunday 19 November, giving them almost two weeks to prepare.

Good jayus!!!
United are crying out for a right sided attacking midfielder. Bring a bit of balance. He’s on the payroll. Playing well. Makes sense.
I miss him purely because utd don’t have enough natural hate figures playing for them
Hopefully we see granny back at womanchester divided
Im calling you out the fake les
So everything with man in the name becomes woman….. We are in the presence of a genius. Usually trolls are just out there spitting bike whereas you are here tearing up the comment section!
Stfu your names spoddgy like
Good grief its the first sign of the apocalypse!
I wouldn’t if I was Nani-United only have a chance of winning the fa cup whilst Lisbon have the Portuguese league Portuguese cup and the champions/Europa league!!
You think that Sporting have a chance of the Champions league?
They have a Sporting chance.
Yes.
Foxyfonz you just win at life…!
Please tell me this is an elaborate joke? Nani is terrible.
Christ … LvG has lost it!
Rather him than Ashley young at the moment….
Never got why Nani didnt play as much as he did for club or country. Seemed to always play well when on dont see Valencia being miles ahead of him
He plays the whole time for Portugal.
You obviously didn’t watch too many games. Never consistent enough
LVG has brought the best out of young and fellaini in recent times, maybe he can do it with nani too. It was never a question of nanis ability, just his consistency. 5 or 6 good performances a season just wasn’t enough.
