Antrim have the most potential of the 3. Kildare with a big win over Carlow. Would be great to see them reach the Joe Mc final. Down also competitive which is remarkable given that most of the squad is from 3 clubs. Div 2B: Meath are still favourites but it will be tight for the rest of the league. Donegal and Sligo served up another good contest. Tyrone beat London. I think the Ulster SHC will have to make a return one day. Replace the Conor McGurk with it. 5 of the 9 counties compete in 2B or above. The middle tier is growing which ia only good for the sport.

Is it necessary to have semi-finals in divisions 2A, 2B, 3A and 3B. In football, the top 2 qualify for division finals. In hurling Division 1, the top 2 in each group make the semi-finals. Why is it necessary to accommodate the third placed teams in divisions 2A, 2B, 3A and 3B in semi-finals? If the top 2 went into the final, Division 2A and 2B teams can then have a rest weekend before the start of the McDonagh Cup. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7842 - 07/02/2023 17:37:24 2457125 Link 0 |

No. The GAA are looking at the financial benefit however.

The booing was not for Lynch, but for Hegarty, who was coming off. Supporters are, I suppose, able to show their disapproval of the unsporting actions of players on the pitch. It's not a regular thing, but it happens for a reason. Midleton (Cork) - Posts: 643 - 10/02/2023 21:30:47 2457753 Link 0 |

How did Hegarty upset Cork the other night other than being unmarkable in the first half, pretty sure ye would give yer right arm to have a player as physical, skilful and that rises to the big occasion like he does

Pantomime villain, Roy Keane probably would have been booed by alot of opposition supporters but they'd all love him on their side same with Hegarty,he's the best hurler in the country in my opinion.

It was for lynch clear as day. The booing didn't stop till he was on the 40 well after entering the pitch and Gearoid had left. I was at the match It was shameful stuff and to condone it is pitiful. The proper cork hurling people I was beside were mortified and rightly so. daveboy (Limerick) - Posts: 1127 - 11/02/2023 17:42:47 2457836 Link 0 |

What a dumb post.. Cian Lynch was announced as a sub and the limerick support cheered. Cork subsequently booed to drown it out and it escalated from there.. To try and make it about Hegarty is a bit sad.

TK is more naturally gifted but Hegarty has produced the goods on a Level that Kelly can only dream of. 8 points from play in 3 all Ireland finals in a row is breathtaking stuff. skillet (Limerick) - Posts: 1062 - 11/02/2023 18:30:56 2457845 Link 0 |

Ah yes he's a fantastic hurler I'm not saying he isn't!

I've seen a small section of supporters from most counties behave poorly at times, Limerick and Wexford included, a section of the Clare supporters seem the worst of all to me.

Hegarty wouldn't be the most naturally gifted hurler in the country but I'd see him as the hardest to contain, TK can and has been marked out at times Shane Reck, Mikey Butler in the last couple of years and Brendan Maher previously,1 of the reasons he always does well against Limerick is they don't detail a man marker on him, only player that seems to have Hegarty well shackled is Fintan Burke.

Nonsense. The booing by the Cork crowd, and it wasn't just a handful of idiots, but the vast majority of the Cork crowd was directed directly at Cian Lynch. The Cork lads are fine and smart and chirpy when they are on top, but can't take the craic, humor and banter when they're being bate, which is a lot of the time in the 21st century. Bad form that booing!

Whistling and jeering a free taker is poor form. I hate to hear it and it does happen. Booing a very poor referee decision is universal. Booing a 2 time HOTY entering the field of play after 10 months out with 2 very serious injuries, who is a role model for all young boys and girls and stayed behind signing gear and posing for photos with troves of young cork fans well after the game is very hard to comprehend. But it's been a tough few years on Lee side.

Leitrim win again! Leitrim beat Lancashire to maintain their 100% start to the 3B league season. Cavan beat Warwickshire to match Leitrim's 100% start in 3B. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7842 - 12/02/2023 07:26:48 2457882 Link 0 |

Would the reason be, if it was Hegarty at all, that he was too scorer, from play, in three All Ireland Finals In a row. One eay or another as one is half a Cork Man it was poor form and not the way I would expect Cork Supporters to behave.
