Replying To Viking66: "Is that going to be on YouTube or a club stream?" For games outside of the Senior A championship we have to depend on good club PRO's for updates, never mind a live stream. I was following on the WTS app and it looked like an exciting game with Southern Gaels winning by a goal in the end, they have had a good start to the championship. Peter Murphy seemed prominent for CTG so probably only a matter of time before he makes the senior team. stonemadbeany (USA) - Posts: 596 - 19/07/2023 09:53:50 2495543 Link
Replying To Claretandblue: "Lough Lene Gaels impressive winners over Pollard, Pollard too reliant on Allen Devine who scored about 10/11 points of their 1-13, Gaels attack looked lively with the 2 Williams and Derek Mc and Eoin Daly looking sharp, semi final spot at least the target for the Gaels, Pollard looked toothless in attack and vulnerable to the high ball, Derek McNich got two goals in this way. Raharney also looked ill at ease under high ball, conceding four goals in one half is worrying for them, they too very relient on Killian Doyle who scored maybe 12 points. Clonkill match vs Pollard will be vital. Whoever loses is in jeopardy" Loser of clonkill pollard is out of the championship, I still suspect the winner of it to make a semi final and win said semi final westmeathgaa11 (Westmeath) - Posts: 299 - 19/07/2023 10:28:41 2495557 Link

How can Pollard be out? They've lost once, Clonkill have lost twice. Three defeats definitely means elimination. Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 1948 - 19/07/2023 12:41:48 2495609 Link

Replying To martyW: "Big win for Southern Gaels" A very important one.I cant remember Southern Gaels ever beating Castletown 2nds so a mental barrier crossed.Maybe they are a bit young to win it out but they have a big chance of making the final. jobber (Westmeath) - Posts: 1614 - 19/07/2023 19:26:14 2495721 Link
Replying To westmeathgaa11: "Pollard to beat clonkill, and beat Raharney or LLG in semi final to lose to CTG in final" Still think Clonkill will qualify on 5 points beat pollard and Daltons and draw with raharney will do to get place in quarter.

Replying To Onionbagger: "Still think Clonkill will qualify on 5 points beat pollard and Daltons and draw with raharney will do to get place in quarter." Who is going to miss out? Raharney or LLG? westmeathgaa11 (Westmeath) - Posts: 299 - 20/07/2023 13:08:43 2495797 Link
Replying To martyW: "Big win for Southern Gaels" Great to hear. If they could get up to Senior and stay there that would mean hurling had taken root in another part of the country where there wasn't much hurling being played. And would encourage other areas of other counties to look at what exactly they did over the last years to get there. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 14127 - 20/07/2023 13:23:34 2495803 Link

Replying To Onionbagger: "Still think Clonkill will qualify on 5 points beat pollard and Daltons and draw with raharney will do to get place in quarter." You must see the Gaels losing to Daltons, Raharney and CTG for clonkill to qualify on 5 points westmeathgaa11 (Westmeath) - Posts: 299 - 20/07/2023 14:19:17 2495819 Link
Replying To Onionbagger: "Sorry that's what I meant. 1st Castletown 2nd Raharney 3rd Clonkill Raharney v Castletown final." so you expect Fr Daltons to beat the Gaels? jobber (Westmeath) - Posts: 1614 - 20/07/2023 19:11:08 2495886 Link
Senior A predictions Round 3 A more needy Raharney to beat CTG Clonkill to beat Pollard Gaels to beat Daltons Senior B Ringtown to beat Plunketts Delvin to beat Cullion Brownstown v Wood a draw Intermediate Southern Gaels to beat Turin Brigids to beat Clonkill CTG to beat Raharney jobber (Westmeath) - Posts: 1614 - 26/07/2023 21:32:41 2497181 Link
Gaels struggled over daltons in the first half and ran out comfortably in the end. Two interesting games which could decide what way things finish up this year and who qualifies westmeathgaa11 (Westmeath) - Posts: 299 - 28/07/2023 21:59:06 2497524 Link
The Gaels need just a point from games versus Castletown and Raharney to definitely secure a semi final place, possibly already there depending on Clonkill and Pollards result this evening. It's a good season so far for LLG especially minus Jogger. If they qualify directly for final in October by getting one or two more points their management will have a big decision to make re starting him in county final.

What club team in the country could turn down an asset like jogger if he's home, is he coming home? westmeathgaa11 (Westmeath) - Posts: 299 - 29/07/2023 14:28:20 2497580 Link
I see your point but they've a 100% record in the championship without him and he's obviously a serious operator but if I was manager he'd need to be training 2-3 week's minimum before championship match to warrant inclusion. Good prob for Joe Williams to have, they were not considered favourites to reach semi finals at outset of competition and now close to first final in 8 years.

Could be witnessing the end of an era here in Cusack Park, Clonkill possibly exiting the championship before the knockout stages, pretty unprecedented. They have one big half of hurling ahead of them to stay in this championship and it's not looking too good for them. Castlepollard not great but Clonkill very poor so far… CleanShoulder (Westmeath) - Posts: 332 - 29/07/2023 18:07:03 2497614 Link
