I was simply wondering that as Thurles Sarsfields have Lar and 20 other super duper players, how come they have never won the last ten club titles?

They haven't even won that many Tipp titles.

Just to educate you Patrique

Thurles have won 31 Tipp titles
the nearest to them is Toomevara who have won 21
please dont talk rubbish my man!

Come on will ya give the man credit.... I've had this debate with you before and not just on this forum!!! Lar corbett in the last few years has proved himself he was a bit inconsistant early in his career but has been one of tipp's most consistant player in the last few years..... he given top class accounts of himself in the last 2 all-ireland finals.... give the man the credit he deserves.

THE REASON HE WAS INCONSISTENT IS BECAUSE HE SUFFERED WITH HIS HAMSTRINGS WHICH IS UNDER CONTROL NOW

DONT MIND pATRIQUE HE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT tIPP HURLING HE DOESNT EVEN KNOW HOW DOMINANT sARS ARE IN TIPP HURLING TRADITION AND HOW MANY COUNTY FINALS THEY HAVE WON!

I haven't got the information to hand, but tell us how many All Ireland Club titles have Thurles Sarsfields? I'm sure it must be a huge amount

Cat in Roscommon: Thurles Sarsfields have won the same amount of All-Irelands as they have won Munster club titles: none.

We normally leave winning All Irelands to the Tipp senior team but wel probably go for the club one this year just to round off the year. senior and u21 all irelands and the u 16 all Ireland. county final s for Thurles at senior ,minor, u21 and u 16 level in 2010

Thurlesblues:

no it not the reason why he consistant now is that he's matured as a player and now is one of the leaders on the field.

I know that.

I was simply wondering that as Thurles Sarsfields have Lar and 20 other super duper players, how come they have never won the last ten club titles?

They haven't even won that many Tipp titles.

Well I think it because they been playing as a team of individuals and there's one player on that team that shouldn't be on a hurling pitch (no respect for this individual but now I'm getting side tracked). They show no consistancy at all can be super one day and dire the net in fairness with the dept of potential talent on that team they should be walking the tipp county championship every year yet were very very lucky to beat toome to get to the final.

I don't know if it a management issue but a team is greater than the sum of its parts and if they can play as a team they go far..... some lads this year seem to be playing for the team Pa Burke being one and the success they've achieved at county level for many of they can hopefully stand to them too. Sarsfield's can potentially win the club championship this year but only if they live up to the potential, here's hoping they do even if we have to listen to a certain posters tripe all over again.

I beg to differ I bet he knows how many they won since 1974 and that they wasn't a split in the clubs in thurles in 1974 as one person tries to point out and that there were several clubs in thurles long before 1974!!

HAG_AND_CHEESE , 03/11/2010 at 14:17

ask him how many they have won since 1974!

And there was a split in the clubs in Thurles as players who couldnt get on the sars team moved on led to a split.
you dont seem to know much either for a man bordering Thurles now do you?

Thurles have only acquired this talent in the last 3 years so lets sit it out and watch the deliverance so no point talking nonsense about winning titles over the last ten years or so.

Oh by the way ! about that tripe a certain poster is posting, isnt he the guy who always said Tipp would easily beat Kilkenny in the All Ireland final despite being contradicted by know alls from especially within our own county or supposedly within our own county anyway! Anyway the proof of the pudding was in the eating I guess!!!

incorrect if they couldn't get on the sars team they joined teams that were already formed and in thurles for example fennelly was formed in the 1940's.... also you made the point that this "split" was one of the reason that thurles went into the doldrums well if they couldn't get on the thurles Sars team then they weren't good enough so how would they have made the team better!!!! Another swiss cheese story your spinning again (full of holes)

thurlesblues:

You said a lot of things but fair play to ya that's one of the things you got right seen as you seem to deal in numbers most of the time.... on a side point we weren't graced with you presents last year on the forum but were you also saying then that tipp would hammer kilkenny in the final too??

HAG_AND_CHEESE , 03/11/2010 at 14:44

my recollection of the All Ireland hags is that Tipp did hammer Kilkenny in the final
now 9 poinys is a fair hammering in an All Ireland final by any standards
yes the split in Thurles happened because those players also brought other players with them you are not from Thurles so you would not know the ins and outs of it

a bit like your knowledge of Tipp V Kilkenny SAll Ireland final results down through the years including this years 9 point HAMMERING!!

thurlesblues (Tipperary) - Posts: 4475 - 03/11/2010 15:08:45    808761

BY THE WAY hAGS
did you ask Patrique how many county titles Thurles have won since 1974 as you havent come back to me

oops Sorry I need to give you more time to check the recors!!

Il give you a clue, its more than most clubs in Tipp have won since ths GAA began!!

thurlesblues (Tipperary) - Posts: 4475 - 03/11/2010 15:16:31    808767

ohhhh right do you recall the year before whe kilkenny won did you predict that too mystic blue??

Thurlesblue it's not a split when the clubs already existed..... players moved from fennelly's in the 40's too you know .... also between 1974 and 2005 is 21 years could they not replace these players over time!!! I do know the ins and out's of it as i know players who in recent years who were playing for other clubs in thurles (I went to college there) which sars approached them to join as they do with a few players (where liam cahill from). So it's alright for sars to look for players but not alright for other thurles teams. I've back up my point but you seem to back up you points with your own hearsay

Also sars have 4 adult hurling teams including a senior and intermediate why should they be winning all round they were they have that pick of players.

Hag_and_Cheese (Tipperary) - Posts: 6103 - 03/11/2010 15:43:36    808796

did you predict the 2009 result too...

Mystic blue i went to college in thurles so i do know the ins and out of it.... did thurles sars still have 4 adult teams in this time frame surely that enough to pick from... players left fennelly in the 40's for thurles sars so it's ok if players go the other way right....

so it took 21 years to replace the players you claim left in 1974??? how many players left?? have you any evidence of this bar your own hearsay.

Also did you think sars are the only club in ireland that effected by players transferring clubs?

Thurlesblues: I've been here all the time bucko. Its you that copped off a week after Tipp's A-I victory and have only surfaced within the last week or so. Most posters on here are year round GAA fans, not just gloryhunters who appear at the sharp end of a competition.
On a separate issue, predicting Tipp are going to win the A-I doesn't make you some expert. It's a bit like saying Chelsea or Man Utd will win the Premier League. Eventually you will be proved correct, but not because of any great sporting insight.
