Limerick Senior Hurling 2026 - 3 Like(s)
Can I send on huge congratulations to management and players with minors today..if I'm being honest tipp were probably the better team but the effort and work rate was top notch from limerick..they never gave up even when it looked like game was moving away from them.
For me if a team gives their all with huge effort they will never be far away.they are a very balanced team with no real superstars in it..some outstanding displays from them..great to win a minor title after such a long gap..hopefully down the line possibly 3/4 of them will step up and make their way at senior level..

Replying To cluichethar: "I might be wrong but didn't Galway lose to one of the teams that Mayo lost to. The other team is taking it to Kerry right now. Of course Galways track to this quarter final was as easy as you could get" Who's talking about Galway?
Why is that your first thought when im just stating facts about Mayos run..

Replying To Seniorleague: "Ive always thought hes an immense player. When i think of the 6 in a row team hes one of the first players who comes to mind.Does he get a bit overlooked in Dublin?" IMO yes.
He doesn't get the plaudits he has deserved.
And he never seeks them tbf.
Hopefully he has another good game tomorrow.
Just heard the double header tomorrow is a Sell Out.
Full House signs will be up…!

Replying To endgame: "Really sickening to see Mayo into an All Ireland semi final a couple of weeks after Roscommon exited the championship. I hope our players and management learn from what happened this year and that whatever about the Connacht championship, we see Croke Park next year and that Roscommon's focus next year is on peaking for the All Ireland series. Best of luck to Galway tomorrow. It's now or never for that Galway team to win Sam." I recall you posting two years ago on here after Roscommon played in Croke Park In All-Ireland quarter-final that you would swap that for winning a Connacht title.
Connacht was won this year and now in hindsight won by beating probably two All-Ireland semi-finalists making it arguably one of the hardest Connacht titles won.
Roscommon weren't that far off v Tyrone real fine margin stuff and but for debatable calls late on Tyrone could easily have beaten All-Ireland champions and favourites Kerry today.
Main thing Roscommon players and management need to find out is why they were so flat against Monaghan it went totally against the form and level of Roscommon performances coming into that game.

Terrible call to give Kerry that 45 late in the 2nd half. Without it , the game probably goes to extra time.

Replying To Square_B: "You be sick if you supported Roscommon, watching a poor Mayo team headed for a All Ireland Semi Final." Roscommon won their all Ireland though this year. Connacht is the limit of their capabilities. Fair play to them they gave it a good go but were found out by a superior yet very limited team in the all Ireland series. Galway and Mayo as is tradition flying the Connacht flag. For the rest of us three it is dreaming of a minor trophy

Replying To Belclare98: "Mayo in a semi final having lost two games and played two div 2 teams and a team bet to bits in been relegated from div 1 ( Monaghan)" Mayo didn't bother about the League. They are not responsible for the AI Series format.
Your not a big Mayo fan?

Replying To Seniorleague: "When did i ever say that there are no top hurlers or clubs in Joe McDonagh counties?" "I don't doubt that their commitment is admirable but their inferior skill and fitness levels compared to their McCarthy counterparts would indicate that they don't work just as hard."
This is what you said- inferior skill?!!!
And they dont work as hard?!!!

Hurling Championship 2026 - 1 Like(s)
Replying To Frontier1000: "Hurling is much bigger than football as can be seen in the attendances supporting the games (even allowing for the obvious bandwagon support). The prestige and opportunities which come from being a Cork hurler aren't really there for the footballers which results in promising footballers such as Hugh O Connor and a young Brian Hayes who are better footballers than hurlers at 20/21 choosing to develop as hurlers over playing with the footballers.
Like many counties (Galway/Clare/Tipp etc) hurling and football is split geographically. The city is somewhat neutral and contributes a fairly equal amount of hurlers and footballers. East Cork is Cork's main hurling region. Cork city (10) and east cork (14) contribute 24 of the 36 players on the Cork hurling team. That's not even counting anyone from Sarsfields who are the best club side in Cork and one of the best in Munster. Outside of that the pocket of North Cork by the Limerick border containing Charleville (Darragh Fitzgibbon), Newtownshandrum (Tim O'Mahony, Cormac O Brien and manager Ben O Connor) Ballyhea, Dromina and Milford would be a good contributor of Cork hurlers.
South East of the city, the Carrigdhoun region is home to a good few Senior A and Premier Int clubs such as Ballinhassig (Pa Collins and Darragh O Sullivan). In the immediate suburbs of Cork, Blarney (Mark Coleman, Shane Barrett, Padraig Power), Ballincollig (Brian Keating), Inniscarra (Sean O Donoghue), Eire Og and Cloughduv are part of Muskerry division which the further west you go is predominantly football. Also important to note towns such as Mallow, Bandon and Fermoy are generally slightly better at football but still complete at a decent enough level in hurling.
Anywhere west of Bandon and the N20 Cork-Limerick road is a really good producer of Cork footballers. This is a sizable enough region containing the Carbery, Duhallow and Bears divisions, nearly all of Muskerry and contains large towns such as Clonakilty, Skibbereen, Rosscarbery and Bantry. There are still some clubs playing at a really high level in hurling such as Kanturk (Alan Walsh, Brian O Sullivan and former hurlers Anthony Nash, Aidan Walsh and Lorcan McLoughlin) and Newcestown (former hurler Luke Meade's club) who play at premier Senior level. Hugh O Connor (Newmarket) is another west cork player and it's great to see players such as him come from small west Cork junior a clubs. The opposite is true with the footballers where apart from Aghada and Glanmire (Premier Intermediate), Cobh and Glenville (Premier Junior) nearly all of East Cork is junior football. This is why this years Cork minor footballers are so promising as they contain 10 or 11 players from predominantly hurling clubs who would never have contributed to the Cork footballers at any level
Hope this answers some questions, apologies for hijacking the thread." Thanks.

Replying To Fionn: "Just going back to the performance of Ciaran Kilkenny yesterday.
It was the topic of conversation of quite a few fans leaving the Hill after the win.
8 All Ireland medals
12 Leinster medals
5 League medals
6 All Stars.
And him still scrapping for the ball like a man trying to prove himself….! What a performance by him.
Like many other fans, I would have him in my all time top 15 Dublin players.
He also won a Leinster Minor Football and Leinster Minor Hurling medals in 2011.
And then Leinster and All Ireland u21 Football medals the following year.
CK made his Senior debut with the Dubs in 2012.
He will be 33 next month - what a career he has had.
Definitely an unsung hero for the Boys in Blue." Ive always thought hes an immense player. When i think of the 6 in a row team hes one of the first players who comes to mind.Does he get a bit overlooked in Dublin?

Kerry 2022-Current Team Better Than 04-09 Team? - 1 Like(s)
Replying To BarneyGrant: "I don't think current Kerry team would have beaten their 2010 - 2019 team, never mind the 2004 - 09 outfit.
Nor would they have beaten Tyrone 2005 - 8, nor of course Dublin 2011 - 20, a shadow of which team spanked them just three years ago, and which could still do on a going day. As could 3/4 of other teams still left. Truth." In fairness ye didn't spank them 3 years ago. Ye won narrowly after being gifted a goal by a very careless mistake from a kerry defender. Their natural fear of a dublin jersey post 2011 kicked into gear then.
Agree generally with your point though. Barring a couple of generational players this kerry team is a tad overrated.

Westmeath Football thread - 1 Like(s)
I'd imagine Westmeath will get one All Star, as they are provincial champions when nobody would have expected it at the start of the championship, but definitely not any more than that. Over the last 10 years there has been max 1 or 2 players that didn't reach a semi final that got one. And in a lot of those years the semi finalists accounted for all 15. I can't remember any team that didn't reach a semi final getting more than one in recent times.
It will probably be Whittaker or Wallace. Kelly was excellent but there's a lot of top forwards that got through to the quarter finals, and with the new rules and high scores, they're likely to stand out more over the rest of the championship. Connellan and Drumm might get nominated but my money would be on one of Wallace and Whittaker winning one.
