Great to have quality hurling games to go and watch at this time of year isn't it!

There's no doubt that Na Fianna and Sarsfields deserved their wins but the losers can feel aggrieved over two goals they conceded. Currie seemed to take 7 or 8 steps before scoring his goal last night, and O'Regan surpassed that by taking about 10 steps for his first goal today. The fact that both referees pulled players for "steps" at other stages of the game just makes it more frustrating. As I said, the better team won in both games but we have seen other instances where games were decided by vital scores taken by players who have blatantly overcarried. midlands (Westmeath) - Posts: 588 - 01/12/2024 20:20:32 2581934 Link 0 |

Slaughtneils fitness really showed in the two games in Ulster. Probably first time Slaughtneil won't be playing a real heavyweight all Ireland favorite like Cuala, Ballyhale, Ballygunner and Na Piarsiagh the last times they've came out of Ulster. Genuinely very difficult to call an all Ireland winner. All 4 be feeling very confident.

Only busting Katser's chops. He probably thinks Loughrea are not wristy enough. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3187 - 01/12/2024 20:30:52 2581936 Link 2 |

Kilcormac on other day might have shipped 3 nailed on red cards. Steps!

The standard of club hurling is really improving in some counties. Past hurler (None) - Posts: 823 - 01/12/2024 22:45:44 2581958 Link 4 |

Barney, my post was about overcarrying, and how the rule is not being implemented. Red cards or "nailed on red cards" is a different topic entirely.

Ulster club championship has improved ever since the emergence of Slaughtneil, its great to see… even if my club suffered this year. Instead of it being loughgeil, Dunloy or Cushendall being ulster champions nearly every year, the odd victory by the County Down champions was usually because of complacency. I do honestly think there isn't much between the provinces in club level, even though Ulster County teams have a long way to go. It would be a great shot in the arm if Slaughtneil were to get to the final and maybe even win, that would give Derry, Down and Antrim hurling a massive boost.

It would for sure. Best of luck to them.

It is great competition. Big enough crowd too o Saturday, guts of 10,000 so well more than club's own people. Be much better atmosphere at semis. I reckon maybe Tullamore or Portlaoise? Double header would get 15,000 and more.

A double header in Thurles would have made as much sense surely? Must have to boost Newbridge after the renovation. Hardly handy for either Sars or Slaughtneill.

Yes I would agree with you. They ref don't try to beat anyone but just can't get consistency. Ballygunner were well beaten but did not fair too good on decisions in last two games. On the other hand Coughlan should probable have received greater censorship for pulling back a break away. Neither would I be writing the epitaph for Ballygunner with talent at their disposal. Intercounty players who can't get in the team and a string of minors on the way. They will make them fit seamlessly because they mold them all the same. Some of the old guard will make way. Coughlan though a solid full back has lost the legs and now relies on cunning. Expecting Patrick Fitzgerald to have a break out year for Waterford and his names sake Padraig from Kilrossanty has been lights out this year. A year older for both and hopefully stronger. Padraig's twin Seamus is no slouch either.

Newbridge is around the same travel time for both and mostly motorway or fast A road for Slaughtneil and all motorway for Sars? Thurles would be a terrible journey for Slaughtneil.

I think St. Clonleth's is an excellent choice and might even head down myself.

Some result in the Munster final. I wasn't expecting that. The Ulster final was a good game as well. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 8326 - 03/12/2024 10:35:41 2582160 Link 0 |
