Disappointing to see Cian McConville not make the team after playing so much in the league. He’s clearly not one of their best 15 but thought he deserved to at least tog out. Is he injured?

Poor enough crowd in croke park for div 3 and 4 games

Can't see tomorrows attendance being great.
Bad date for finals with holidays, other events on plus with provincial championships starting soon the 'split season' and it's compactness makes supporters choose.

The league finals should be done away with. The attendances sadly back that up. The only reasons for keeping them as I can see, is to give the children a day out.
No one really cares who wins division 2 to 3 cups. There should be a cup for the winner of division 1 but no final. These finals are a distraction from championship.
Having said all that Ard mhachas' intention should go out tomorrow and hammer Donegal. Have the game wrapped up by half time and give game time to the subs in the 2nd half.
The division 1 final should be a good contest but only if both teams go for it and because it's a national title I think they will.

I disagree. The leagues are our best competitions. They need restructured in line with senior / intermediate / junior championships. Provincials to go and leave some space between leagues and championships. It should be a major achievement to win your national league and/or tiered championship.
Over to you Jarlath.

Thanks for the advice John. Your second paragraph would suggest you have very little belief in the leagues below division 1 but that's just what I picked up from it for a bit of debate - apologies.
Having re-read your 3rd paragraph - I regret replying at all.
