I also want to see how Carlow perform after their big result vs Galway. I'd love to see another big result from them.

Same should be a cracking game. Limerick are the top team at the moment. A repeat of the All Ireland quarter-final from last year would do nicely.

This time last year I'd have taken promotion from 1B and a decent run in Munster as being a successful season. Never in a 100 years did I see us seriously challenging for the all ireland, let alone winning it. Expecting a really good game here.. skillet (Limerick) - Posts: 1106 - 15/02/2019 16:11:11 2165527 Link 0 |

It's hard to say who is the top team at the moment in that not all teams are putting out all their guys. Galway and Kilkenny are missing the St Thomas's and Ballyhale lads and I'm sure some teams are experimenting with younger guys and fringe players, etc.

I think it 'll be a good game. Limerick did alot of heavy lifting and training this week but they 'll perform against the cats. It's very hard to win in Nowlan Park but it would be a scalp that would prove they are in with a great chance at holding onto the All Ireland. I think Kilkenny feel they are close to winning an All Ireland too, could have beaten us in that quarter although their goalie won an All Star from that performance.

just an opinion here...the way the leagues are top 4 from 1a and top 4 from 1b play in the quarter finals I think is a bit unfair on the 2a winners....surely a 2a winner is more merit than 4th place in 1b.....so really I think it should be just 3 teams coming out of 1 b and giving the 2a winner a crack at the quarter final and giving them incentive and meaning to winning a 2a title preddan (Kildare) - Posts: 803 - 22/02/2019 22:14:30 2167041 Link 1 |

Excellent point Preddan. There's not much difference in quality between the 'bottom 3' in 1B and the top couple of teams in 2A so I agree it would be a great opportunity for them. Hopefully Westmeath can finally break the hoodoo and make the jump up. It's been 30-odd years since they played first division hurling.

Is 1b straight relegation for bottom team or is it a relegation play off with two bottom teams ke40 (Kildare) - Posts: 214 - 24/02/2019 20:16:59 2167672 Link 1 |

So you want teams to able to compete for division 1 and division 2 titles. What about the likes of Carlow and Laois who are there on merit in the first place.

Just here to make an observation, is there a reason why the hoganstand football team of the week is selected from all divisions yet the hurling side is soley confined to Division 1? FOB (Dublin) - Posts: 912 - 25/02/2019 22:34:31 2168202 Link 1 |

I just read on the GAA website that there'll be a 'relegation playoff' in 1A as well. However, neither team will be relegated anywhere, its just to determine placings for division 1 in 2020. So to summarize, there'll be a playoff after the last round of league games, between the 5th and 6th place teams in 1A, to determine which team has finished 5th or 6th in 1A... I must be missing something Marlon_JD (Tipperary) - Posts: 1823 - 01/03/2019 18:58:23 2169239 Link 0 |

You didn't really miss anything. We spoke about it on most threads 5/6 weeks ago.

it is to decide who goes into 1a and 1b. preddan,rory o connor is indeed a class act.he is a son of john o connor from 90s wexford (as is jack) and a nephew of george. perfect10 (Wexford) - Posts: 3929 - 11/03/2019 09:04:41 2171563 Link 0 |

correct,but 1a or 1b is all the same next year.

But 1A and 1B are all the same. Why are they wasting their time with a playoff? Just place one of them in 1A and the other in 1B, open draw. Or both of them in the same group, depending on what way they're splitting them up. How are they doing it anyway?

Top top class hurler. If Wexford can get himself and Lee Chin firing come June they could maybe reach All Ireland semi final. Past hurler (None) - Posts: 928 - 11/03/2019 11:24:21 2171589 Link 1 |
