Great win for Largy College today. All Ireland Champions super sub Matthew McCaughey (Clones) made all the difference for the clones school today. I felt like the injury of James Rooney ( Eire Og) would have stopped Largy today as he is a big player for them.

How Do We Take Hurling On From Here - 1 Like(s)
Replying To legendzxix: "The first three editions of the Tier 2 - Christy Ring Cup had 2 groups of 5. Top 2 from each group into semi finals. Bottom teams into relegation final. They had it too good. A Kilkenny GAA President had to ruin it all.
The Tier 2 - Joe Mac should be something like that. 2 groups of 5. 2nd at home v 3rd in quarter finals. 1st at home v QF winners in semi finals. Joe Mac final as curtain raiser to All Ireland semi final.
Example groups:
A - Antrim, Westmeath, Down, Derry, Wicklow.
B - Carlow, Laois, London, Kerry, Meath.
QFs:
Westmeath v Kerry (pip London to 3rd!)
Laois v Down
SFs:
Antrim v Laois
Carlow v Kerry (shock QF win!)" The current system is fine. There is too much of an imbalance in those groups that you have up. Maybe that gives kerry a better chance of winning or something I dont know but the hurling pyramid is almost entirely merit based. That is a good thing. I get that you dont like that but it is.

Replying To Beelzedub: "Great first half from Niall Scully
Top performance from him
Keep it going, Dubs were hungry there
More of the same needed in the second half" How Jarly Og got black carded for the half time incident and Scully got nothing was a bit baffling.

Replying To Magpie2: "Why say " come on France"
As you well know if England had held out in those last few seconds we would be champions.
Do you hate the English that much that you would prefer France to win. Even at our cost?
I, like the majority of right thinking people was cheering and hoping that England would win and land the big prize for Ireland.
To think otherwise is silly in the extreme." No right minded Irishman cheers on England, if they beat France so be it but don't cheer them on.

To think otherwise is silly in the extreme." Would your opinion of the English be the same if you lived in the six counties all your life?

Regardless of today, we probably will need a result v dublin. A win today gives us a slighly better chance of survival but doesnt guarantee it. And i am concerned that we might not get the win today too. We are a decent team currently with great heart which means we can compete with anyone, but most teams can be competitive with us too. League results to date ,-3,-1,+1 and 2 draws.

Replying To Canuck: "Hurling unique skills are something that requires learning like ice hockey from when you start walking. If you are not right and left handed you are not going to to excel at it. In football it is helpful to be right and left footed but not as detrimental. There are some contributory to why it does not grow outside the top counties. The biggest is public interest in the secondary competitions. The GAA do z lot of talking but little action. These secondary competition games should be played before the premier ones at the same grounds. Only give tv rights if both games are showed. Have entry tickets at a reduced cost before the so called big game. When the kids can see their team on the big stage interest will change. I know there are many other considerations but interest is where it has to start. Gaelic football has the same issues but maybe not to the same degree." No offence meant to the poster here but if you want to grow hurling we need to get away from this thinking.
This idea that its unique, can't be learned unless you have a hurl from birth, its not possible unless you've done this or that by whatever age etc etc.
Its the same elitist message hurljng has a tendency to preach which hinders the very development of the game. Clubs hear this and say sure why bother? No point, its too late.
The message should be yes, you can hurl, anyone can hurl, you can start hurling whenever you want, its isnt this mystical achievement beset by rules of engagement, just get them playing the game and jt will grow.
Hurling loves nothing more than putting up barriers of greatness to people and wonder why we can't grow the game.

Bit of pressure on now with Armagh beating Dublin and Roscommon beating Donegal.
