Ant seem to see anything on fixtures about the replay of the Hollywood Avondale game? I thought it might be this weekend. Also, anyone any idea about when the u19 football kicks off ?

Hollywood Avondale is the 19th of October, 2pm. Re the controversy at the end, Hollywood scored a goal in the 60th minute to put them 4 up. But referee brought it back for a very soft free against them. Avondale went up the pitch and equalised with the final play. A lot of confusion around the free and the time management of the game. Hollywood looked hard done by based on all accounts. Very intense and physical game. Replay should be good.

Last Sunday proved a step too far for Carnew but when they reflect they'll be happy with the last two years. They've done incredibly well to win the Intermediate championship and to qualify for the senior final this year. Of course they'll be disappointed but Baltinglass ruthlessly dispatched them. They'd too much experience and craft for Carnew. I've written Baltinglass off continuously over the last few years but they kept coming back and eventually they got what they deserved. They are the most consistent senior club championship team in the last six years reaching semi finals, finals and winning a couple of senior championship. I hope they can represent the county with pride in the Leinster club championship. I'll be interested to see how they perform against the Kildare champions in Aughrim on 5th November. Hollywood are finding it hard to escape from the intermediate ranks. It'll be interested to see how the controversary and disappointment from their game against Avondale will affect them. I think it would motivate me to finish the job the next day.

So carnew end (I think) 15 year wait is it, I was in Aughrim today and as a neutral I thought (and I'm sure neither Carnew or Aughrim will give a jot) the standard of hurling was shocking. A bit of excitement on the second half of the senior but other than that it paints a bleak picture of standards. No score from play in first 20 mins of senior and in the intermediate I think all but 2 mins f Carnew scores came from free's!!!!
Perhaps for another day but heads shouldn't be buried in sand. Some of brays older statesmen beginning to show their age I think, fantastic servants and hopefully few more years left in them.

A waste of time of a championship,Bray basically only got tested in a final as they ****** through the group stages. County board could run hurling championship off in 2 months. Hurling clubs holding the county board to ransom.
