Salthill

No.

And then from my point of view, Galway is the closest one in a place called Mortons of Galway, which I'd never actually heard of before, but they're in Salthill.

So yeah, that's my new favorite Irish company.

Obviously completely Irish.

Mm-hmm.

Looking then at the other semifinals, Salthill, Annacarra, Currin, it's a repeat of last year.

Um, Currin's record, Gerard, coming into this, it's impressive, um, when they play Salthill.

They've beaten them nine out of the last 10 times, and they played in championship.

The defeat coming last year, and I get, I get the sense even Currin will probably have regrets that they nearly didn't even steal that one last year at the death.

Yeah, that, that was a f- that was a fascinating game last year in, uh, Pearse Game.

Again, it was a terrible evening.

Uh, the weather, the wind was very strong, and, uh, Salthill came out of the blocks, and I think they went 12 points up.

Shane Begley here from Athenry AC with your update from the west.

On Saturday, October 3rd, the annual Galway Bay Marathon, Half Marathon and 10K took place there in Salthill.

The 10K was won by Tadhg O'Sullivan with a time of 31:57.

Simon Farrow was in second place with a time of 33:07.

So there are so many similarities with that, because we understand that where it comes from, we all come from the same place, basically.

Um, I remember being with someone who could dance and was talking about dance on a beach on a, on a Sunday afternoon in Salthill in Galway.

And he said something really funny.

He said, "No, no, you see, in this dance, you travel." And I asked, "What do you mean travel?" Meaning that instead of being together as one, which they are sometimes, one of them sometimes just moves away, just swirls away-

Mm-hmm

... till we figured out what was happening, and then she got an Airbnb out in, out towards Salthill, I think.

But she said it was a lovely B- Airbnb, nothing at all wrong with it.

It was perfect till the weekend came.

Here's Jonathan Higgins.

It was a comfortable victory for Salt Hill Loughnacarra over Rook Dorard on a scoreline of 321 to 114 in the first of Sunday's doubleheader in Pearce Stadium.

Salt Hill and Loughnacarra were boosted by the All-Star nominations of John Marr and Robert Finnerty during the week and both were outstanding again today.

Marr was in his familiar all-action cover every blade of glass as self and Finnerty was in red-hot form finishing with a remarkable 3-5.

Despite playing against the elements, Saltilnaknacar dominated the opening quarter and should have been further in front.

Yeah, it took two to tango because Clare Galway were right with you all through that game.

We knew beforehand it was going to be evenly matched and it seemed to play out that way.

Ah yeah, should we be well familiar with each other? A lot of the lads, I would have taught some of them boys in school, so I'd know, and the young lads would be battling away up at all age groups, so yeah, local rivalry, I think it lent into that in the second half as well, with a bit of bite, first half as well, but we were a point up with a gale, probably going in at half time, we were under a bit of pressure, but we were the same against Uchtdraerden a month ago in Salt Hill, and we came out and got the result we needed, so it was familiar territory, we knew we had to dig deep, we didn't play well in the first half, so We had to come out and show a bit more in the second half, and thankfully we did.

Within two fights, like your next fight after that, you went and fought at the SSC Arena against Alexander Zeledon.

Then the next fight was back in Galway in Salt Hill in Leisureland.

So you did start to rack up the...

Two fights later, your US debut over in Dorchester, like where there's such a big, powerful Galway and Kunamara presence.

It's, it's a stage where they have been.

Will they have much of a fear coming up against Salthill-Knocknacarra really? Because since the, since that Tuam game, Barry, they've turned around their season.

Momentum's with them, and each performance just they're building, and you could see how much that meant to them at the weekend with getting the two black cards and everything that went on.

It seemed like everything was against them, and they weathered that storm.
