The lower tier championships start this weekend. Kildare should seal a routine promotion from the Ring. Kildare and Meath have been swapping places in recent years. Derry will be there closest challengers. Donegal after a good league are probably favourites for the Rackard. Cavan were the only Meagher county in 3A. Possibly favourites there. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 8291 - 13/04/2024 12:58:26 2537635 Link
CHRISTY RING CUP ROUND 1 Sligo 2-8 Kildare 2-19, Markievicz Park FT Kildare started with a win as expected. LORY MEAGHER CUP ROUND 1 Cavan 1-22 Warwickshire 2-13, Kingspan Breffni FT Cavan have also made a winning start in the Meagher. Cavan have a good chance of winning the Meagher since their return to senior hurling in 2017. New York will probably be the favourites for the Meagher in 2025. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 8291 - 13/04/2024 15:35:54 2537656 Link
Derry started with a win as expected in the Ring. Whether London challenge them for a final spot against Kildare remains to be seen. CHRISTY RING CUP ROUND 1 Wicklow 0-12 Derry 0-17, Aughrim FT Tyrone 2-12 London 2-23, Eoghan Ruadh, Dungannon FT NICKEY RACKARD CUP ROUND 1 Mayo 4-24 Monaghan 2-8, Hastings MacHale Park FT legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 8291 - 14/04/2024 17:15:22 2537763 Link

Mayo are the bookies favourites for the Nicky Rackard. They've been operating in 3A but that was due to Tooreen making a run in the club championship in previous years. I think they are the ones to beat in Rackard. Fermanagh and Longford will have their say in the Meagher but may not be enough for Cavan who have a number of ex Cuala men and good young talent (Liam O'Brien) from Waterford in with them this year.

There won't be much between Donegal and Mayo, I would have thought Donegal would have been favourites with their good league campaign muscles (Sligo) - Posts: 460 - 16/04/2024 09:34:55 2538263 Link

Kildare beat Derry by 7 points. It could be the final in a few weeks time. London are going well as well though. Both Kildare and London are in 3 wins each. Donegal are on 3 wins in the Rackard. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 8291 - 27/04/2024 19:30:43 2540998 Link
Donegal do look like the team to beat in the rackard now having beat Mayo. To be fair they had setanta win the Ulster intermediate and Letterkenny made the junior final and could have won it. I may have been premature on calling Mayo. Still fancy Donegal and Mayo for the final. MrPBoylan (Monaghan) - Posts: 207 - 28/04/2024 11:37:27 2541126 Link
After Derry's win over London, it is looking like a Kildare v Derry final. Kildare and Meath aren't gaining a whole lot from yoyoing between the McDonagh and Ring. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 8291 - 11/05/2024 16:15:08 2544088 Link
Why are Kildare in the Ring ?? sponger (Wicklow) - Posts: 2913 - 11/05/2024 16:19:57 2544090 Link
Replying To sponger: "Why are Kildare in the Ring ??" The McDonagh is limited to 6 teams currently. Meath, Kildare and Derry should lobby for an expansion to 8. If they don't, they can't have too many complaints. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 8291 - 11/05/2024 16:37:18 2544095 Link

Disappointing that the Derry footballers are playing on Sunday when the Derry hurlers are taking on Kildare in the Ring final. The other five finalists on Sunday have their footballers playing on Saturday. Cavan v Dublin could have been Sunday with Derry v Armagh on Saturday. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 8291 - 01/06/2024 14:22:10 2548684 Link
