But as much as every club desperately tries to hold their spot in Galway’s top competition, sometimes a reboot proves to be a blessing in disguise when circumstances are accepted and new ambitions are created.
Starting with An Spidéal, they were intermediate champions as recently as 2018 and did contest last year’s final, going down 1-18 to 1-16 to Caltra.
And even though wins over Clifden and Glenamaddy were coupled with a loss to Menlough in the group stages, they’ve been in devastating form since.
Oileáin Árann fell (2-22 to 1-9) in the preliminary play-offs; they dumped out favourites St. Michael’s (1-14 to 1-11) in the quarter-finals; and avenged that one blemish when moving up the gears in the last 15 minutes of their semi-final against Menlough (2-15 to 0-11).

On form, Micheál Ó Duinn’s side are peaking at the right time as they attempt to go one better than last year and have plenty of strength and experience throughout the team.
Maghnus Breathnach in goal has contributed five points and knows all about big occasions, having led An Cheathrú Rua to All-Ireland junior glory last year. Captain Liam Ó Ceallaigh and Dara Mac An Rí are a defensive spine to match any senior team.
2022 All-Ireland winning minor Tomás Farthing’s return has re-energised the squad with Seamus Ó Droighneáin, Andy Ó Finneadha and Liam Ó Fátharta other reliable hands.
Cillian Ó Laoi and Galway senior Liam Ó Conghaile are a powerful midfield unit while Finnian Ó Laoi is central to a formidable half forward line that includes Diarmuid Ó Duinn and Antaine Ó Laoi. Cillian and Antaine shared 2-9 in the victory over Menlough.
Inside duo Eanna Ó Curraoin and Cormac Ó Laoi were joined the last day by Padraic Eoin Ó Curraoin, while Cian Ó Fearachair and Fionnán Ó Conchubhair are other possibles. Diarmuid Ó Droighneáin, Micheál Ó Curraoin and Cian Ó Flatharta are their main impact options.
But as An Spidéal’s form continues to rise, Caherlistrane’s toughness has improved following two tight contests to reach a first county final in 21 years.
The 2005 champions have seven changes from their 2025 starting team that were stopped in extra-time in their quarter-final defeat to St. Brendan’s.
Under-19 B winners last season Evan Cunningham and Timmy Madden have stepped up along with Kieran McDonagh, Kyne, Cian Molloy, Oisin O’Brien and Ciaran Donnellan. And they’ve been on a roll, also winning the Division 3A League.
McDonagh in goal has kicked four two-pointers throughout a campaign that saw them triumph over St. Brendan’s, An Cheathru Rua and Kilconly in the group stages.
Caherlistrane were made work harder in beating Glenamaddy (2-12 to 0-14) in the quarter-final. And Shane Greaney’s injury time winner was needed to survive their semi-final tussle with Oranmore-Maree (1-12 to 2-8).
Greaney, another under-19 winner, has scored 1-25 and leads an attack that includes Donnellan (3-7), Adam McGreal, Madden, O’Brien and joint captain Alan Morris. The other armband holder Steven Lawless and Kevin Nally are the middle duo tasked with supplying them possession.
Their half back line includes Galway’s Johnny McGrath, a goal scorer the last day, his brother Richard and Molloy. Shane Bohan anchors the full back sector with Kyne and Cuningham outside him.

Kilkenny: Ominously for Tullaroan, TJ Reid has got in on the act now. It took him 12 minutes to even get the ball into his hand but he’s just iced a free and that’s an eight-point lead for the champions. Brian Cody follows up with another from play. This could be over already. Ballyhale 1-6 Tullaroan 0-0

Kilkenny: Ballyhale have settled much the better in Nowlan Park. Cody (2) and Mullen have tacked on points to push them six ahead inside the first seven minutes.
