Hoping Nemo win it. Tomas O'Se was a great player for Kerry. Nemo are a fantastic Club that continue to produce very good players. Luke Connolly Stephen Cronin Paul Kerrigan Barry O'Driscoll and Alan O'Donovan will be on the Cork panel. Miceal Martin and Kevin Fuliganti will have to be close.
Tomas O'Se joined Nemo because he lives in Cork simple as that. His son plays underage with Nemo. It makes sense for him to do that. His life is in Cork. He gave Kerry and An Ghaeltacht great service while he lived in Cork. Nobody on this or any forum should begrudge him any success in Gaelic Football of in Life in general.
They are scumbags if they do after what he has done for Kerry.

I just hope he won't be as good as his father when he grows up and makes fools out of Kerry. If he does I would respect him for it, but I hope it doesn't happen. I won't be supporting nemo though. Nemo are not a popular club in Cork either. I like the underdog and nemo are definitely not underdogs. My girlfriend is related to one of the Nemo players, but doesn't really know him that well, and she has little interest in football anyway. I've stayed in the Corofin area quite a lot and the success of the club is very important for that area. They are a great club in a rural area and I hope they can go all the way.

Let's just celebrate that Tomas is still playing at such a high level at 40 years of age. So what if he is playing with Nemo or if the next generation play with Cork.

I'm behind Tomás on this and enjoy watching him play and still having such a huge impact. I'm genuinely delighted for him. But I won't cheer for Nemo. It's McManus and Monaghan; I love to see Mcmanus play, probably the most influential footballer in Ireland at the moment, but doI want Monaghan to win Sam? Not really. Corofin have been flying this year and for a rural community it is very important to win games. They are finding it hard to keep players, much harder than a huge city club like Nemo, and have been successful regardless of that. That is my reasoning for supporting Corofin. My girlfriend asked me can I not be neutral in this, but what's the fun in that?

“Corofin have been flying this year and for a rural community it is very important to win games. They are finding it hard to keep players,
At least put up something with a touch of fact about it !! “ they are finding it hard to keep players “ !!! Corofin , as pointed out , covers a large area and I would wager has more schools in its catchment area than most in Kerry. Looking at their notes from the middle of last year they have county championship fixtures for their senior team , Junior A team and also Junior B team— not to mind Minor A and B teams . Can any club in Kerry manage this ?... indeed, are they actually smaller than Nemo at all ?? Best of luck to them but there is a huge difference between them and Slaughtneil for example in terms of size !!!

Can any club in Kerry manage this ?... indeed, are they actually smaller than Nemo at all ?? Best of luck to them but there is a huge difference between them and Slaughtneil for example in terms of size !!! Yes, I get that. The catchment area is huge by Kerry standards. From near to Tuam to almost in Galway city and as far east as almost Athenry and Mountbellew. Underage they have little problems as there are lots of schools and being close enough to Galway city students can study in Galway and stay with the club. There is little industry around there though and like most rural parts more and more people have moved away looking for work. By contrast Nemo have lots of clubs around them so probably the same number of players to choose from at underage level as Corofin. Memo are in Cork city though, a city that has seen continuous growth and attracts businesses and workers. Corofin rule Galway and Connacht and are a huge club, but just look at the age profile of both clubs and you see how many young players are in the Corofin team. Slaughtneil are indeed remarkably successful and a true rural club, but have yet to win a national club title, bar their camogie title. That would be a huge achievement for such a small club, especially since they excel in hurling, football, ladies football and camogie.

Great achievement, can you break it down regarding W/D/L and competitions? 10 senior final (replay '00), 2 u21 finals, 1 minor final, I club final & 1 club final coming up. Some achievement alright when also you consider he was on the training panel in '97 and just missed out in 2014.

By my count Darragh played in 13 (9 senior, 1 club and 3 u-21) so Tomás is just keeping up with tradition.

Really impressive by Corofin in that half. Won't be surprised if Tomás doesn't re-emerge.

Some battle between Cuala and Na Piarsaigh. A draw after extra time.

Club Finals can go like that, one can be so one sided and the other a real contest. Corofin's win will rise the boats a bit more out west. Difficult to predict a winner in the replay.

Cuala played Darragh OConnell as a wingback the last day rather than at midfield as usual.
Con OCallaghan has thrived all year on delivers by Darragh but he was very subdued in the drawn game. I suspect Darragh being at wing back has something to do with it.
Con didnt impress in the Sigerson final though. Maybe he is human after all and is spun out.
This has the makings of another great contest at 5.30 tomorrow on TG4

King Con marches on. It will be interesting to see if he is brought into the fold for the NFL final.

Darragh O'Connell made some critical plays towards the end, as did O'Callaghan. The 2 goals in a minute was a sucker punch for Na Piarsaigh but they still came back. Great stuff from both clubs.

Cuala tried several backs on na Piarsaighs corner forward but he got the better of them all. Eventually they put Darragh oConnell back on him and Darragh got on top of him. Darraghs first half point was the score of the game. Con kept the good wine till last and he nudged Cuala over the line. Awful hard on the Limerick lads. Wexford put on a great display and deserved to beat Galway. Galway have plenty of dirty diesel this year like Tipp had in 2017. Can't see them retaining the all Ireland.

Wexford are noticeably alot more physical in their play. If they could use the ball a bit better they'd be a major threat.

CUALA became just the fifth club to win back-to-back All-Ireland club hurling titles in Portlaoise today with a three point win over Na Piarsaigh in an epic replay that will go down as one of classic finals.
Level going into injury-time after extra-time failed to separate the sides in Croke Park last Saturday, a brace of David Treacy frees and a final score from the excellent Mark Schutte secured a victory for Mattie Kenny’s side.
Na Piarsiagh, the 2016 champions, collapsed exhausted and dejected at the final whistle as the O’Moore Park was invaded by a swarm of jubilant red and white clad Cuala supporters.
The teams took up where they left off last week.
The closeness of the exchanges were almost a mirror of last Saturday’s instant-classic in Croke Park.
And Adrian Breen was the first half’s most prominent forward.
He took Oisín Gough for three points in the first 24 minutes before Paul Schutte was switched on.
Breen promptly scored another off the Cuala captain, who then injured his hamstring and was replaced.
Mattie Kenny was forced to sacrifice Darragh O’Connell – who scored the best point in the first half after a brilliant run along the sideline – from his midfield in a bid to halt Breen’s scoring.
Cuala led by 0-10 to 0-9 at half-time but there was nothing to separate the performances of the teams to that point.
Notably, neither had threatened a goal either and though the second half started along identical lines, that all changed in the 39th minute of the match.
First, Tommy Grimes flicked a hand pass straight to Cuala sub Nicky Kenny, who went along the end line and angled a shot past Podge Kennedy.
Then, from the next play, Mark Schutte took possession in a similar position, embarked on the same journey and applied a similar finish.
In a tie where daylight hadn’t appeared between the teams, Cuala now had a six point lead.
Remarkably then, Na Piarsaigh scored the next 1-2 of the match.
Their goal came from David Breen but owed everything to Shane Dowling’s catch, run and pass.
Na Piarsaigh then inched ahead thanks to Dowling’s fourth free of the match but Con O’Callaghan equalised and in injury-time, Mark Schutte won a free that Treacy converted for the lead.
A further Treacy free, after a contentious foul on Con O’Callaghan, put them further ahead before Schutte – who finished with 1-2 – got the clincher.
SCORERS – Cuala: D Treacy 0-9 (7f, 1 ’65), M Schutte 1-2, N Kenny 1-0, Con O’Callaghan 0-2, D O’Connell, S Moran (f), J Sheanon, J Malone 0-1 each. Na Piarsaigh: A Breen, S Dowling (4f) 0-5 each, K Downes, P Casey 0-2 each. J Boylan, D Dempsey, G Brown 0-1 each.
CUALA: S Brennan; O Gough, Cian O’Callaghan, S Timlin; P Schutte, S Moran, J Sheanon; S Treacy, D O’Connell; C Cronin, D Treacy, J Malone; M Schutte, Con O’Callaghan, C Sheanon. Subs: N Kenny for C Sheanon (26 inj), S Stapleton for P Schutte (29 inj),
NA PIARSAIGH: P Kennedy; A Dempsey, M Casey, N Buckley; J Boylan, C King, K Kennedy; W O’Donoghue, D Dempsey; S Dowling, P Casey, D Breen; K Downes, A Breen, R Lynch. Subs: T Grimes for M Casey (32 inj), C Boylan for Lynch (40), G Brown for Buckley (41), M Foley for Boylan (59).
