If Tinahely play like they did in the second half against Tochair, any of the teams left in will struggle to hold them. Rathnew will need to bring their A game to beat them. . After the first half their backs were to the wall and they came out of the blocks in the second half playing like they haven't played all season.

Rathnew Baltinglass Kiltegan Dunlavin (may or may not be a biased opinion) Dunlavin4Miley (Wicklow) - Posts: 10 - 02/09/2024 12:48:56 2568009 Link 0 |
I'll make a prediction but there are some teams I haven't seen. Based upon what I hear and what I have seen of Tinahely over the last number of years; they are inconsistent - on their good day, they are good but they seem to play some games and their performance is distinctly average. I saw Rathnew against Dunlavin and I though their forward play was distinctly average but they won all their games except yesterday which they didn't need to win. I'll tip Rathnew as they are hard to beat in knock-out and they don't beat themselves. Again, AGB flatter to deceive a lot of the time. I've been impressed by them based upon what I've seen this year. Baltinglass are very dependent on John McGrath. Overall I think AGB are better balance so I'll tip AGB. I haven't either Kiltegan nor Eire Og. Kiltegan are racking up impressive scorelines, for example 1-18 against Baltinglass is a good number of scores. Eire Og won the league recently and have potential. I'll tip Kiltegan due to their scoring power and experience. An Tóchar have been impressive, not just this year but in recent years. They are gaining experience all the time plus a number of their good young players have played at intercounty level. Dunlavin have had a good season despite a poor performance against AGB. I just don't think Dunlavin have enough firepower up front to get the scores required. I'll tip An Tóchar. wicklowsupport (Wicklow) - Posts: 2028 - 02/09/2024 14:15:47 2568036 Link 0 |

Minor championships are heating up any thoughts on the favourites for the A and B championships, Arklow look strong in the A and Kilcoole and Rathnew look to be ahead of the pack in the B. Albundy19 (Wicklow) - Posts: 71 - 05/09/2024 13:40:58 2568578 Link 0 |
I've seen most of the teams in the A and some in the B. In the A Arklow are the standout team but in the B, keep an eye on St Pats.

My thoughts at the start was the 4 best teams in it were Avondale, annacurra , carnew and Hollywood. All 4 can make semi final. Avondale are stand out at the moment but in knock out football anything can happen. Dark horses Hollywood

I think AGB will walk this. B shouldn't get a mention, it's a battle for 9th in reality or teams hiding there to get a cup at end of year. If yer good enough step up to A.

My thoughts exactly. I find it hard to fathom how Rathnew and Pats are in the B - or why a strong club like Tinahely feel it necessary to be in a group team. Surely you are better to give your weaker players a chance to improve ? Several of the teams in the A are playing with up to half their team eligible again in 25 - and are performing well.

I think Agb will beat Baltinglass especially when you see the teams that Baltinglass beat and where they ended up on the table.. Maybe Agb cold turn out to be the dark horses of the championship . Maybe they are beginning to peak at the right time Some would argue that they peaked too early In previous years and lacked maturity. However every passing year without success makes it more difficult. I still think they will have too many scoring options while Baltinglass still rely too heavily on McGrath.

Personally i feel the same towards AGB.. beating the likes Of Bray, Dunlavin and Barndarrig who were all least favorites to do anything this year. While Baltinglass have beat the last two county champs and last years semi finalist. Looking forward to see how this fares out. Dunlavin have had a few good wins this year too. Can see Kiltegan having too much around middle for eire og.. Rathnew tinahely being last years semi is interesting and hard to call. Ill go Tinahely being the shock.

Tinahely v Rathnew. Nothing between these two teams . They know each other inside out. Very hard to predict. Tinahely on penalties. roseyinthegarden (Wicklow) - Posts: 116 - 09/09/2024 11:23:59 2569048 Link 0 |
Anywhere, outside of the Wicklow People later in the week, that you'd find either a football or hurling championship table? FrankieJoe (Wicklow) - Posts: 87 - 09/09/2024 13:45:53 2569082 Link 0 |
