Tuam

So I'm so looking forward to seeing you again.

But it's, it's a long way, isn't it, Leo, from, from the pubs of Tuam to Electric Picnic, isn't it?

Yes.

We had a, we had a lot of steps along the way and, and a lot of interesting steps, and a lot of, a lot of good luck along the way as well.

At six months I'd say it might've been our furthest kind of, uh, plan at the time.

So-

How, how did it all start in Tuam?

Well, we'd just started writing songs together.

It was thousands years ago now [laughs] on this stage.

Well, we just started writing songs together.

That game, um, a double header with the Senior Relegation final.

Just on the Premier Junior fixtures, Silon play Sultan at the Cara in Tuam Stadium at 2:00 on Saturday, followed by Ballinasloe and Annaghdown at 3:45 in Tuam as well, a double header there.

And a double header then on Sunday, Killbacontee play Meelbraids at 12:00, and Spiddal play Avineak Moy at 1:45.

The big thing I suppose with this Premier Junior competition then, then David, is a lot of these clubs are getting to go later into the year than they usually would

We're putting in a new platform and doubling the size of the car park.

North to Tuam and Carmaris, that will start next year, and it will be open for passengers in 2030, 2031.

So this is not a 30-year project.

There's nothing stopping when we get to Clare Morris to continue on to Sligo.

Like, so when lads are out, six, seven months, a year, two years, like, it's going to take a full league campaign, really, to get to probably the level you need to be at.

And, like, then the fact, they probably mustered it from just, from muscle memory to beat Tuam, like that emotionally probably took a lot out of them you know getting back to where they see and where they probably should be at You know, that probably took a lot out of them in terms of like, they're probably not ready to train right till Wednesday, Thursday down a big midfielder, which against my colon, you barely need as many lads over six foot as possible.

You know, that's going to have, especially when you're playing into the wind, that's going to make life a lot, lot difficult, a lot more difficult on you.

So like you're talking probably Thursday is their first proper training, but with injury profile, a lot of their players, can you really push that hard? you know, following Tuesday, can't do a huge point, so you're probably talking like, yeah, you're not going to hold my work done, in two key weeks, whereas like, Mike Cullen probably played, two, three challenge matches, they're probably getting good, hard training, and seeing, like Neil Walsh, wasn't even probably talked, I don't know, wasn't, injured, like, but to be able to go without, someone like that, like, like my belly button, going to go without someone, unless they're actually proper, proper injured, like so, you know, it was going to be difficult, for them to, to reproduce, what they did against
