The feeling entering Pearse Stadium for the round two football championship clash between St James and St Michael’s last weekend was that the Jimmies would be too strong for an injury-shorn St Michael’s outfit. And so it came to pass, with Seamus Burke’s charges winning easily enough on a score-line of 1-13 to 2-05.

This is a very attractive championship fixture and the city rivalry between the two sides should get a good crowd into the stadium on Saturday evening.

This was a heartbreaking defeat for St James. To lose an All-Ireland final in Croke Park is never easy, but to lose one you could and should have won is devastating. The James lads will know this is one that got away.

People are invited to participate in one of two free public information sessions on human rights in Ireland taking place at the Galway People’s Resource Centre, St Claire’s Walk, Merchants Road.

You cannot buy experience, and it is one of the most valuable commodities a team can have going into an All-Ireland final, and St James’ captain on Saturday evening is a man with oodles of it.

The chance to win an All-Ireland final in Croke Park only comes to most clubs very infrequently, if at all.

Last Sunday in Mallow St James’ footballers did what many Galway teams have failed to do in the past - they got one over their Kerry opponents in an enthralling All-Ireland intermediate semi-final.

St James have enjoyed a glorious 2010. Intermediate champions in Galway, promoted to senior, crowned Connacht champions, and awarded the club of the year for their efforts.
