Search Results for 'Nicky Joyce'

We will start this week back at last weeks column. I cannot believe a story written in my column last week got so much national attention. It was liked by almost one thousand people on hoganstand.com, it has been discussed on Newstalk I am told, and has been retweeted by several players including Colm Parkinson, the former Laois star. Lots of footballers were tagged to the article on Facebook as it reminded so many of players who would not take no for an answer when told they were not part of a panel. I did not see that coming.

Salthill-Knocknacarra v Micheal Breathnach

Killererin will face Mícheál Breathnach’s in a quarter-final championship replay next Saturday in Pearse Stadium (6.15pm) and the 2010 county final winners are fortunate to have another crack at reaching the last four.

St James joined Salthill in the Galway Senior Football Championship quarter-finals with a hard earned 1-10 to 0-8 victory over Caltra on Saturday evening in Tuam Stadium.

2010 county champions Killererin will fancy their chances on Sunday when they take on Leitir Mór (3.45pm) in Pearse Stadium. When they are all available, Stephen Flaherty’s side has got a fair bit of fire power up front, with the likes of Padraic Joyce, Micheal Boyle and Nicky Joyce. They can also call on Galway panellists Tomás Fahy and Colin Forde to shore things up at the back, alongside men like Declan Kelly and Daniel Mannion.

Galway announced their arrival once again as a formidable force on the inter-county football scene with a significant victory over, albeit a very lethargic looking, Roscommon side. I have met Alan Mulholland on quite a few occasions throughout the winter months through my involvement with NUI Galway and I always came away with the impression that this young manager knows what he is about.

Corofin got their county championship defence off to a winning start last Saturday evening when they defeated Tuam on a score-line of 0-14 to 1-6 at Tuam Stadium.

There was some surprise in Galway football circles yesterday with the news that Killererin star Nicky Joyce is not on the panel for the upcoming Connacht football championship.
