Bejasus the Kinvara lads are getting very emotional.......its just my opinion that's all, I could be wrong!
They should be two good games with not much in it.
TAD and Eyrecourt to win.

Replying To katser:  "Just on another note...Castlegar the only Club with 5 Adult teams Senior, Junior A,B,E and F and they still can't win anything with all those hurlers."
Its not quantity its quality, many teams relied on a few families Connollys in Cashel, Burkes in ST, Cooneys in Sars, Cannings in Port. They tended to be big families also I think cashel had 5 Connollys on the team when they won AI, God knows how many Cooneys, Cannings and Burkes there are. Families are smaller these days and once the family generations drop they tend to go into the abyss. The up and coming teams are more balanced like Loughrea, Bridge and possibly Turlough. Once this great ST team is at an end I think the future will be around city and town teams add Athenry, Oranmore to the mix, possibly Mellows and Cashel also as they are prime to have transfers into the club, players do not want to travel huge distances to train 2-3 times a week and play on weekends, I think there will be merging of country clubs to compete which may not be a bad thing either.
