About the Comórtas Peile na Gaeltachta na bhFear Sinsear (Senior Men) 2022

The Comórtas Peile na Gaeltachta was inaugurated in 1969 as the Gaelic Football Championship for the winners of each of the seven Gaeltacht Area Championships in Ireland. There are two grades in each of the Men’s and Women’s competitions: Sinsear (Senior – literally Ancestors) and Sóisear (Junior) representing two tiers of Adult Football (rather like Major and Minor in American Sports) rather than age grades. It is hosted over a weekend in a different location in the Gaeltacht Areas each year. The Host GAA Club and the Holders also gain entry along with the Champions of the seven Gaeltacht Area Championships.

ABOUT Ulster GAA FOOTBALL SENIOR CHAMPIONSHIP

The GAA (Gaelic Athletic Association) has its own brand of Football: Gaelic Football or simply GAA Football, in Ireland, played with 15 players per team, and goals worth three points and over-the-bar (points) worth one point (The goals are similar to Rugby but there is a Goalkeeper to prevent goals). It is like a cross between Soccer and Rugby, with players allowed handle the ball, but may not pick it up off the ground without the aid of their feet, and limited running with the ball [References 5-6].

The GAA All-Ireland Senior Football Championship is the pinnacle to the Inter-County and GAA Football seasons, the Elite players representing their Counties as well as Clubs. It usually takes places in the second half of the GAA Inter-County season, from early April until the September when the All-Ireland finals are played. The format is increasingly complex each year, with the traditional four Provincial Championships preceeding the All-Ireland Championship. [References: 5-8]

FORMAT

There is since 2001 a “Back Door” or Double Elimination system in place whereby Counties defeated prior to the Provincial Finals can re-enter the draw via the All-Ireland Qualifiers, from which four Qualifiers meet the Four Provincial Champions in the All-Ireland Quarter-Finals. From the All-Ireland Quarter-Finals onwards there is Single Elimination (Straight Knockout) in place to decide the All-Ireland Champions and the winners of the Sam McGuire Cup. [References: 4, 8]

From 2022 the Tailteann Cup has been introduced, whereby Counties from Roinn’s 3 and 4 exclusively in the GAA National Football Leagues (Divisions 3 and 4) can compete for a “Division 2” Championship and have the realistic chance of winning an All-Ireland Championship. Counties which reach their Provincial Final are excluded from the Tailteann Cup. [References: 4, 8]

Round by Round Reports

Quarter-Finals

Leitrim were made to battle all the way by London after twice going five points ahead, early in the first half through a goal from Ryan O’Rourke and then again early in the second half through. Even though London had fought back to within a point at halftime, the visitors went eight points up early in the second after Donal Wrynn scored Letrim’s third goal. The game looked dead and buried for London at the time, but a gallant comeback was on the cards after two quick goals in succession from Seán Hickey and Fearghal McMahon. The Exiles were just a point down going into injury time with Even Sweeney’s black card compunding the visitiors woes. London were frustrated in the run-in however, with few chances and Leitrim had the last word when O’Rourke got his second goal as Leitrim won by four points in the end. [References: 4]

Sligo won 1-16 to 0-15 points versus New York, but were made to battle all the way. Galway defeated Mayo by a single point (1-14 to 0-16) [References: 2-3]

Semi-Finals

Roscommon defeated Sligo with ease 0-23 to 0-12 and Galway had an even easier victory over Leitrim by 4-20 to 0-9. [References: 2-3]

Final

Galway gained revenge for defeat to Roscommon in the Allianz Football League Division 2 Final, by triumphing over the Rossies by 2-19 to 2-16 in the Connacht GAA Football Senior Championship Final. The margin over victory and total points scored being identical (25 to 22) in both finals. [References: 2-3]

From the All-Ireland Quarter-Finals onwards there is Single Elimination (Straight Knockout) in place to decide the All-Ireland Champions and the winners of the Sam McGuire Cup. [References: 4, 8]

From 2022 the Tailteann Cup has been introduced, whereby Counties from Roinn’s 3 and 4 exclusively in the GAA National Football Leagues (Divisions 3 and 4) can compete for a “Division 2” Championship and have the realistic chance of winning an All-Ireland Championship. Counties which reach their Provincial Final are excluded from the Tailteann Cup. [References: 4, 8]

Rounds 1-4 Recap

After four Rounds Cavan held the advantage with three wins from three games played (their round 3 fixture was postponed). London were also on six points having won their first three games, including an historic first win over Connacht Championship rivals Leitrim, but lost their fourth round game to Wexford. Sligo and Leitrim led the rest of the pack with four points each, Sligo with a game in hand. Tipperary were on three points, Wexford and Carlow on two points and Waterford on one point at the foot of the table. [Reference: Websites 2-3]

Round 3 Rescheduled Recap

Cavan took over sole leadership of Roinn 4 with a 1-13 to 0-10 defeat of Sligo. The Breffni were now on four wins from four games, while the Yeats County remained on four points following their second loss. Tipperary had a narrow 16 points to 15 victory over Wexford, who were unlucky lo lose despite scoring fifteen points to the Premier County’s four, as Tipperary notched up four goals. The Yellowbellies gained their first win of the year and in the process handed Tipperary their first loss. Reference: [2-3]

Round 5 Recap

Cavan suffered their first defeat of the season as the Breffni lost 1-7 to 1-11 at home to Tipperary, the Premier County moving a point behind the leaders on seven points. Sligo and Leitrim both joined London on six points as the Connacht counties won – Sligo by 3-19 to 0-10 versus London, bringing the Exiles back down to earth after their historic win over Leitrim – while Leitrim defeated Carlow by 2-14 to 1-10. Carlow remained second last after Wexford defeated Waterford in a South East clash, a single point the difference between the counties (0-15 to 0-14) as Waterford stayed in last place. Reference: [2-3]

Round 6 Recap

Wins for the top four counties in meant it was no change in Roinn 4 as Cavan maintained first place with a single point victory over London who remained fifth. Tipperary remained second and Carlow second last after Tipp’s double-points tally victory over the Barrowsiders. Sligo and Leitrim remained two points behind leaders Cavan after victories over last placed Waterford and sixth placed Wexford respectively. London’s loss to Cavan put the exiles out of the running for promotion and a spot in the Roinn 4 Final. [References: 2-3]

Round 7 Recap

Cavan took the Roinn 4 league stage title and qualified for the Roinn 4 Final after a 3-21 to 0-10 defeat of Waterford, while Tipperary joined the Breffni County in the Final with a 1-14 to 0-12 defeat of London. In the battle for third place Sligo beat Leitrim 2-16 to 2-10 in the North Connacht rivalry to finish on 10 points with Leitrim finishing on 8 points in fourth. Carlow and Wexford drew meaning Wexford finished sixth on 5 points, one behind London, and Carlow finished seventh on three points, two above South East rivals Waterford. [References: 2-3]

Final Recap

Cavan took home the GAA Allianz Football League Roinn 4 title after defeating the Premier County by a single point in the Final. Tipperary scored 15 points to Cavan’s 10, but Cavan’s two goals were enough to see them squeeze by Tipp. [Results and Fixtures References: 2-3]

ABOUT GAA ALLIANZ FOOTBALL LEAGUE

The GAA (Gaelic Athletic Association) has its own brand of Football: Gaelic Football or simply GAA Football, in Ireland, played with 15 players per team, and goals worth three points and over-the-bar (points) worth one point (The goals are similar to Rugby but there is a Goalkeeper to prevent goals). It is like a cross between Soccer and Rugby, with players allowed handle the ball, but may not pick it up off the ground without the aid of their feet, and limited running with the ball [4-5].

The GAA Allianz Football League is the curtain-raiser to the Inter-County season, the Elite players representing their Counties as well as Clubs. It usually takes places in the first half of the GAA Inter-County season, from late January until the beginning of April when the Division finals are played. There are four Divisions, with promotion and relegation between the Divisions as in Soccer.

Limerick and Westmeath gained their second wins of the campaign with victories over Antrim (2-9 to 0-11) and Laois (2-11 to 0-11) respectively leaving Antrim and Laois in third and fourth on two points each. The remaing four counties all drew, Longford (0-9) and Louth (1-6) in a low-scoring affair and Wicklow (1-10) and Fermanagh (2-7) also gaining their first points of the season. References: 2-4]

Round 3 Recap

With two games postponed (Fermanagh v Laois and Westmeath v Longford) Antrim took the opportunity to join Westmeath and Limerick on four points at the top of the table with a 2-10 to 1-7 defeat of Wicklow. Limerick’s loss to Louth by two points (1-12 to 1-14) meant they missed the opportunity to go two points clear at the top, and meant Louth got in touch with the leaders on three points. Reference: [2-4]

Round 4 Recap

Limerick took over sole possession of first place with a 1-13 to 1-9 defeat of Wicklow, leaving Wicklow in last place on one point. Antrim could only draw with Laois (1-8 each) as they fell a point behind Limerick on five points. Louth moved into joint second on points with Antrim after a 1-15 to 1-13 victory over Westmeath, which left the Leinster Midland county on four points, one above both Laois and Fermanagh, with the Ulster county gaining a seven point (3-11 to 0-13) win over Longford, who like Wicklow were fighting relegation on one point. Reference: [2-4]

Round 3 Rescheduled Recap

In two rescheduled games from Round 3, Longford shocked Westmeath, gaining their first win of the season against their fellow North Leinstermen, by a score of 0-14 to 0-10. The win put them level on points with Laois after the Portlaoise-based county lost by six points to Fermanagh, who moved up to five points, just a point behind Roinn 3 leaders Limerick. Reference: [2-4]

Round 5 Recap

Six counties were still in contention after round 5, with Antrim leading the way on seven points following a 1-19 to 0-12 defeat of Longford, who were now all but out of the running on three points. Louth joined Antrim on seven points with a 2-12 to 0-14 win at Fermanagh who remained on five points. Westmeath and Limerick were both on six points following Westmeath’s six point win (1-12 to 1-6) over the Treaty County and fellow Shannonsiders. Laois also got into contention with a 1-17 to 0-8 win at Wicklow who remained last on one point. Reference: [2-4]

Round 6 Recap

Roinn 3 was still very open after Round 6 with Louth in first place after a 1-15 to 1-11 defeat of Antrim in a clash of the top two counties. The other three games were extremely close with one point wins for Limerick and Wicklow over Laois and Longford respectively. Limerick’s victory put them in second place on eight points while Wicklow’s victory over Longford saw them move above the midlanders into seventh, with both counties on three points. Laois’s loss dropped them from contention. Meanwhile a draw between Fermanagh and Westmeath left the two counties in mid-table with an outside shot going into the Final Round. [References: 2-4]

Round 7 Recap

Louth defeated Wicklow by seven points to finish top of the league stage in Roinn 3, with Limerick joining the wee county in the Final after a five point win over Fermanagh. Westmeath took third ahead of Antrim after defeating the men from the Glens by five points to finish on nine points, one behind Limerick and two ahead of Antrim. In an important relegation battle Longford defeated Laois by the seven points to finish above the Queen’s County on head-to-head. Wicklow finished last and were relegated [References: 2-4]

Final Recap

Louth won the GAA Allianz Football League Roinn 3 Final with a 1-14 to 0-12 defeat of Limerick. [Results and Fixtures References: 2-4]

ABOUT GAA ALLIANZ FOOTBALL LEAGUE

The GAA (Gaelic Athletic Association) has its own brand of Football: Gaelic Football or simply GAA Football, in Ireland, played with 15 players per team, and goals worth three points and over-the-bar (points) worth one point (The goals are similar to Rugby but there is a Goalkeeper to prevent goals). It is like a cross between Soccer and Rugby, with players allowed handle the ball, but may not pick it up off the ground without the aid of their feet, and limited running with the ball [4-5].

The GAA Allianz Football League is the curtain-raiser to the Inter-County season, the Elite players representing their Counties as well as Clubs. It usually takes places in the first half of the GAA Inter-County season, from late January until the beginning of April when the Division finals are played. There are four Divisions, with promotion and relegation between the Divisions as in Soccer.

Round 1 Recap

All all-Ulster match-up between Derry and Down opened the GAA Allianz Football League Roinn 2 on Saturday the 29th of January 2022. With the welcome return of the spectators following the lifting of restrictions to gatherings, Derry fared better winning 1-10 (13 Points) to Down’s 0-6 (6 Points). The Sunday after saw all six counties in action, with wins for both Connacht counties – Roscommon defeating Cork by 6 points (1-13 to 0-10) and Galway breezing by Meath by 1-14 (17 Points) to 0-6 (6 Points). In the fourth game Clare also won by a wide margin, triumphing 1-13 to 0-7 versus Offaly [2-4].

Round 2 Recap

The two Connacht counties in Roinn 2, Roscommon and Galway both achieved their second win in a row to start the 2022 campaign with defeats of Meath (1-15 to 1-11) and Down (1-12 to 0-9). Joining them on 4 Points, also with their second victory were Derry who had a big win over Offaly (2-13 to 0-7). The losses left Meath, Down and Offaly pointless. In the other game, played on Saturday the 5th of February Cork and Clare battled to a 1-13 each draw. The draw left Cork struggling with one point and Clare in touch with the leaders on 3 points [References: 2-4]

Reference: [2-4]

Round 4 Recap

Derry and Galway contiuned with 100% records, Derry defeating Clare 2-13 to 0-10, handing Clare their first loss, while Galway triumphed 3-22 to 2-17 over Cork, who remained on one point. While Clare were not entirely out of the running yet, the top two spots at this stage look likely to be filled by either Derry, Galway or Roscommon who moved to second on seven points with an eleven point victory (1-18 to 0-10) over Down, who like Cork were still on one point. The fourth game of the weekend was a 1-10 all draw between Offaly and Meath which gave Offaly their first point of the season and moved Meath into fifth on two points. Reference: [2-4]

Round 3 Rescheduled Recap

Round 5 Recap

Galway continued to set the pace with a 2-8 to 1-5 victory over Clare, leaving Clare still on four points, and giving Galway their fifth win in a row to start the season. Connacht neighbours and rivals Roscommon did the Westerners a big favour by holding Derry to a 0-12 each draw, leaving Derry on nine points after dropping their first point of the season. Roscommon remained a point behind the Ulstermen on eight points. In the bottom half of the table Meath eased their relegation worries with a 1-18 to 1-10 defeat of Cork, as the Royal county moved to four points and the Leesiders remained bottom on one point. Offaly defeated Down by a single point (0-15 to 0-14) to move on to three points and off the bottom two as Down remained on one point with Cork. Reference: [2-4]

Round 6 Recap

Galway maintained their 100% record with a four-goal demolishing on Derry, winning by 4-11 to 0-12, handing Derry their first loss of the campaign. Connacht and nearest rivals Roscommon also had a big win, 2-18 to 0-14 versus Offaly. Meath moved clear in fourth ahead of Clare, winning by a single point in a low-scoring game, 0-10 to 0-9, while the battle of the two counties in the relegation zone, saw a win for Cork over Down (1-16 to 1-12), moving the Rebel County out of the dropzone in the process. [References: [2-4]

Round 7 Recap

Roscommon ended Galway’s 100% record on the last day of the league stage with a 1-20 to 1-15 victory. The two counties were to meet again in the Final after both finished on 12 points. Derry ran them both close finishing on 11 points after a 1-16 to 2-11 defeat of Meath who finished on six points along with Clare who won 2-14 to 1-9 at Down. Down’s defeat left them finishing last on one point, and they were joined in Roinn 3 for 2023 by Offaly who lost to Cork by one point in the crucial relegation battle, both Counties on three points coming into the match. [References: 2-4]

Round by Round Recaps

Round 1 Recap

With the start of the GAA Allianz Football League in 2022 coinciding with the lifting of restrictions on gatherings, the return of spectators to GAA games was welcome. Armagh scored a shock 2-15 (21 Points) to 1-13 (16 Points) victory over Dublin on Saturday the 29th of January in the opening fixture. Sunday’s fixtures saw three draws with Kerry scoring the only goal in atrocious weather: Kildare 0-13 Kerry 1-10; Mayo 0-11 Donegal 0-11 and Tyrone 0-9 Monaghan 0-9. The Results left Armagh in top position after Round 1 with Dublin surprisingly being the only team left pointless [Round 1 References: 2-4].

Round 2 Recap

Armagh moved to the top of Roinn 1 with a 2-14 to 0-14 (20 points to 14) defeat of Ulster rivals Tyrone on Sunday the 6th of February. Kerry consigned Dublin to their second loss in two games with a 1-15 (18 points) to 0-11 (11 points) win which put Kerry in second place behind Armagh on 3 points. Joining the Kingdom on 3 points were Donegal (2-11 to 1-9 winners over Kildare) and Mayo (2-10 to 1-11 victors against Monaghan). The losses left Kildare, Monaghan and Tyrone on 1 point each [Round 2 References: 2-4].

Round 3 Recap

Kerry went top of the table on points difference after defeating Donegal 1-13 to 0-7, and were joined on five points by Armagh who drew with Monaghan (1-7 to 0-10) and Mayo who had an excellent win against struggling Dublin (2-11 to 0-12). The loss left Dublin rooted to the bottom of the table on no points, having lost all three games so far. The fourth game saw Tyrone win 2-7 to 0-12 against Kildare, leaving Kildare in second last on one point and moving Tyrone up to fifth, level on three points with fourth placed Donegal. [Reference: 2-4]

Round 4 Recap

Dublin suffered their fourth defeat in four games when going down 0-12 to 1-12 to Kildare, which put Kildare back in the reckoning on three points. Kerry stayed top with a big win over Monaghan (3-14 to 1-12), putting them on seven points, along with Mayo, who had a narrow two point victory over Armagh (0-15 to 1-12), who suffered their first loss of the campaign. Joining Armagh on five points were Donegal who had a 2-10 to 0-12 victory over Tyrone, who remained on three points alongside Kildare, one above Ulster rivals Monaghan. Reference: 2-4]

Round 5 Recap

Dublin finally got off the mark with a 0-13 to 0-8 defeat of Tyrone, although the Dubs are still in last place in Roinn 1 despite the win, with Tyrone one place and one point above them. Kerry took top spot with a 1-12 to 0-14 defeat of Mayo, a single point victory enough to move the Kingdom to nine points, two above second placed Mayo. Armagh joined Mayo on seven points with a 1-12 to 0-10 win, leaving the Lillywhites on three points and in relegation trouble. Monaghan moved above both Tyrone and Kildare to four points with a 1-12 to 0-10 win at fellow Ulstermen and North West rivals Donegal. The loss left Donegal on five points. Reference: [2-4]

Round 6 Recap

Kerry were unassailable at the top of Roinn 1 on 11 points, four ahead of nearest challengers Mayo and Armagh, after a close win over Armagh with a single goal the difference between the counties. Mayo’s loss to Tyrone in a low-scoring encounter (0-9 to 0-11) brought Tryone out of the relegation places on five points, one ahead of a resurgent Dublin, who defeated Donegal by 2-15 to 2-11. Kildare also climbed to five points to level with Ulster counties Tyrone and Donegal with a big 0-24 to 1-12 win over Monaghan, consigning the North West county to the bottom spot with one round to go. [References: 2-4]

Round 7 Recap

Kerry and Mayo were due to meet in the GAA Allianz Football League Roinn 1 Final after Kerry finished top on 13 points with a win over Tyrone and Mayo defeated Kildare by eight points to finish second on nine points. Mayo’s closest rivals for second, Armagh, lost by a single point away to Donegal in an Ulster match-up as both counties finished on seven points. Monaghan defeated Dublin by a single point also, 3-13 to 1-18, as the Metropolitans were relegated in last place on four points. Kildare joined them in being relegated to Roinn 2 in a bad day for Leinster counties, as they lost out on head-to-head versus Tyrone after both finished on five points. Monaghan’s victory saw the Ulster county leapfrog over all three other counties in the bottom half of the table to finish on six points. References: [2-4]

Final Recap

Mayo lost yet another Final, and Kerry won yet another, by 3-19 to 0-13, more than doubling Mayo’s tally, as the Kingdom took the GAA Allianz Football League Roinn 1 title for 2022. [Results and Tables References: 4]

About GAA Allianz Football League

The GAA (Gaelic Athletic Association) has its own brand of Football: Gaelic Football or simply GAA Football, in Ireland, played with 15 players per team, and goals worth three points and over-the-bar (points) worth one point (The goals are similar to Rugby but there is a Goalkeeper to prevent goals). It is like a cross between Soccer and Rugby, with players allowed handle the ball, but may not pick it up off the ground without the aid of their feet, and limited running with the ball [4-5].

The GAA Allianz Football League is the curtain-raiser to the Inter-County season, the Elite players representing their Counties as well as Clubs. It usually takes places in the first half of the GAA Inter-County season, from late January until the beginning of April when the Division finals are played. There are four Divisions, with promotion and relegation between the Divisions as in Soccer.
