Replying To finishedplayin: "Would agree with all except Dunlavin,too hit and miss this year again and dont have a settled side for some reason very lucky to get out of group stages i have watched them this year and dont seem to have any plan for the games huge gaps at the back as everyone attacks at the same time and if they did get over Donard i couldnt see them up to beating anyone else left in the championship." Senior: St Pats Inter : Hollywood Jun A : Valleymount Jun B : Rathnew Jun C : Tinahely Would not give Dunlavin much of a chance after poor group stage. But some teams do get better as the semi finals go on. hurlingnut (Wicklow) - Posts: 311 - 07/09/2017 20:37:35 2043972 Link
Expect wins for AGB Balto today. AGB by 7 points Alto by 4 points hurlingnut (Wicklow) - Posts: 311 - 09/09/2017 16:26:46 2044413 Link
Two brilliant games on show yesterday, everybody thought AGB would beat Avondale but Avondale were better on every position on the pitch, the scoreline doesn't show that but Avondale definitely deserved the win. Eire Og shocked Balto by playing some absolutely beautiful football and looked like they were going to win the game, unfortunately for them Billy Norman got sent off and that made things hard on them but they kept up their performances and every player worked twice as hard, I knew Balto would push on in the 2nd half and the game, in some way deserved to be a draw. fakehandpass (Wicklow) - Posts: 15 - 10/09/2017 11:57:12 2044588 Link
Would loved to have been at the games yesterday but went to U21 Final. Seems like I missed an entertaining day. hurlingnut (Wicklow) - Posts: 311 - 10/09/2017 13:15:35 2044608 Link
Big result for Blesso yesterday, hungier team, wanted it more! is this the monkey off their back in beating one of the big teams in knockout stages in Aughrim? Interesting draw for the semi final, they must see this as their best chance to get to county final since 88! ww14 (Wicklow) - Posts: 18 - 11/09/2017 13:09:56 2044913 Link
Brilliant exhibition of football throughout all of the Senior Championship games this weekend. Avondale beating AGB will be a huge boost for the Avondale men and are possibly the dark horses for the championship. Baltinglass started poorly but some what deserved a draw. Avondale play Blessington in the Semi-Finals, and Rathnew play the winners of Eire Og or Baltinglass. Its an open championship and is there for anyone to take. Its great to see the senior championship so competitive this year, which will benefit the players themselves and make John Evans' job harder when selecting a panel of players to represent the County fakehandpass (Wicklow) - Posts: 15 - 11/09/2017 13:27:03 2044920 Link
Blesso's to lose now hardybuck28 (Wicklow) - Posts: 123 - 11/09/2017 14:35:14 2044942 Link
Replying To hardybuck28: "Blesso's to lose now" Strange team Blessington. Years of failure does not suggest they will finally get over the line but there is something about a team that struggles and yet are still in the championship. Lets face it they were poor in group stage. Maybe this will be their year but I doubt it. hurlingnut (Wicklow) - Posts: 311 - 12/09/2017 21:49:40 2045405 Link
Can anyone shed any light on how relegation from the senior championship works ? nmsmithy96 (Meath) - Posts: 108 - 17/09/2017 14:57:21 2046670 Link
Replying To nmsmithy96: "Can anyone shed any light on how relegation from the senior championship works ?" Relegation is a group of 5. Each team plays one another with the top 2 qualifying for the Keating cup final. 3rd place team survives for another year and the bottom 2 are relegated kodak13 (Wicklow) - Posts: 83 - 17/09/2017 18:17:29 2046845 Link

County Board making Eire Og play their first ever Senior Hurling Semi Final on Saturday and then their QF Football match less than 24 hours later ??? Absolutely disgraceful way to treat players and a club doing their best to be a strong dual club. How can either team prepare properly for their respective games this week? ogra (Wicklow) - Posts: 142 - 18/09/2017 21:09:37 2047706 Link

Eire og have so many players on county teams and then to be treated like this. Player welfare hah.

Can see good wins for Blesso in the senior and Dunlavin in the intermediate this weekend. Is it the year both clubs can get the monkey off their back and triumph in their respective grades? underdoglad (Wicklow) - Posts: 69 - 21/09/2017 15:28:18 2049053 Link
I see eir og winning the hurling. dunlavin by 4pts baltinglass by 5pts. valleymount by 2 to 3. who is the ref in the eir og v balto game. Namstap (Wicklow) - Posts: 25 - 21/09/2017 15:54:18 2049063 Link
Is the Balto v Eire Og game going ahead on Sunday? ww14 (Wicklow) - Posts: 18 - 22/09/2017 08:52:43 2049235 Link
Not as much hype and expectation about Blessington this year which has suited them, they coasted in under the radar and pulled off a big shock in my opinion the last day by beating St Pats. They will surely put Avondale away on Sunday to reach the final, if they don't do it this year will they ever do it? Eire Og did well the last day but left the game behind them. I don't expect Balto to give them a second chance and think they will win this one by 2-3 points. Dunlavin Rathnew is an interesting one. On paper Dunlavin have the better team but it will probably go down to the wire. I fancy Rathnew if it's close towards the end. In the Junior A I don't think there will be anything between Laragh and Valleymount in the semi final either. Valleymount came out on top in a very close game between them in the group stage but I think Laragh have built up a lot of momentum since then and I fancy them to nick it. hardybuck28 (Wicklow) - Posts: 123 - 22/09/2017 11:19:38 2049278 Link
