Wexford Club Hurling 2026 - 2 Like(s)
Replying To Pikeman96: "Glynn-Barntown have played their two senior hurling matches so far this year in Bellefield & O'Kennedy Park - generally regarded as the other two main pitches for club championships, and not ones that clubs generally complain about.
Seems they're unacceptable to you, though. So just out of curiosity - assuming you accept it's not feasible for any clubs to have all its matches fixed for Wexford Park, which other venues would you deem suitable for Glynn-Barntown?" Ah lads. Anyone who thinks Johnny boi is serious needs to brush up on their forum fishing techniques..

I'm fairly certain Kerry will beat Dublin, but I'm going back and forth between Mayo and Louth. Extremely hard to call. There's a possibility Louth could flop with all the hype, and the occasion could get to them. The same can be said for Mayo's younger players. Hoping for exciting games all the same. Will be rooting for Wicklow, Kerry and Mayo.

The punditry about Mayo has been lazy and not much credit being given to them, but it suits Mayo not having media talk them up.
The inconsistent performances does make it tough to analyse Mayo though.
Majority of people expecting a Louth win so its a great way for Mayo to be going into this semi final.
Louth are a better team than Cork, I thought Mayo did well with the advantage Cork had physically, Louth will also have this advantage but they have alot more scoring threats than Cork.
McHugh will probably be asked to do same marking job on Mulroy as he did with Sherlock. I can see Louth using the high ball into full forward line, and McBrien will needed back there.
Just hope the forwards can all click again and step up another level and kick Mayo into a final.

Replying To tirawleybaron: "Thats not entirely true.
Pleant of lost semis over the years
1985 - drew and lost relay to Dublin
1988 - lost to Meath
1989 - won semi
1992 - lost to Donegal
1993 - hammered by Cork
1996 - beat Kerry
1997 - beat Offally
1999 - lost to Cork
2004 - beat Fermanagh in replay
2006 - beat Dublin
2011 - lost to Kerry
2012 - beat Dublin
2013 - beat Tyrone
2014 - lost to Kerry in extra time in Replay
2015 - lost to Dublin in Replay
2016 - Beat Tipp
2017 - Beat Kerry in Replay
2020 - Hammered Tipp
2021 - Beat Dublin in extra time
So thats won 10, drew 5, lost 8
its slightly above average -
Its because the finals are so bad, people think that the semi results are great." Some of ye really have too
Much time on ur hands - if u want to be pedantic I said 20
Or so years which is from
2006 according to your response that's 7 wins out
Of 10.
Anyway my overall point because most of ye are giving out about how the pundits are all picking Louth was I fancy mayo to win this one as ye have the experience of being in and winning semi finals even for the younger cohort they'd be used of watching mayo win big games etc
Good luck

Kerry 2022-Current Team Better Than 04-09 Team? - 1 Like(s)
Geaneys and Cliffords could amount 40 points between them Sunday. Hard ground suit kingdom men. O'Shea, Brosnan and Spillane coming off bench could do further damage.

Replying To BarneyGrant: "Croke Park has been Dublin's home league venue since the league began in the 1920s. With the exception of a short sojourn in Parnell for about 10/11 years in my reckoning." I was definitely at a league match in Parnell between Mayo and Dublin in 2005 - the dubs weren't to hot then and all the kids wanted Ciaran McDonalds autograph.
They played again there in 2007 so there was a decent spell at Parnell as the Dubs had lost their lustre in those days

Definitely more pressure on kerry. To lose to this Dublin team who nearly got beaten by wicklow 2 months ago would be devastating.
They have everyone now and a strong subs bench so no excuses.
Can't call the other one. Louth have the better form line and nearly a more rounded team and squad depth on paper. But mayo when they get momentum are hard to stop. Their full forward line could make hay too.
Kerry by 5 and mayo by 2

Replying To legendzxix: "Dublin coming to Killarney in Round 2B would have been pressure on Kerry. Dublin's return to home league ground form against Donegal and Galway removes any pressure on Kerry. It is clearly a 50-50 game now. No two ways about it.
I wouldn't pay any attention to LK. There is more pressure on Dublin for understandable reasons." Plenty other ways about it. Home league ground since 2011 or 1920 has little bearing on the quality of teams and what they've done in championship over the last year. Kerry are strong favourites and you can have no qualms about that. It's the logical position based on all the evidence we've seen.

It may be a 50:50 game but no one expected Dublin to reach this point of the championship at the start of the year. This is bonus territory for the Dubs but that's not to say they won't go for it, which they will of course. As for Kerry, failure at this point would be unthinkable. The pressure is all Kerry IMO. Either way, I hope for a titanic battle on Sunday. I still expect Kerry to win (by 5 or more).

Replying To Viking66: "Think all of us over East are delighted for you, so its probably a toss up between the Cork lads and Loughrea lads." You are right, we are sickened, but we are sickened at our own team and the same old failings that continue to dog us. Have nothing but admiration for this Galway team and wish them all the best for the final.

Joe Connor, Sean O'Brien, Diarmuid Connors and Mark Shea will dominate the skies. Be interesting if Cawley will be watching kerry players block runners on the kickouts. Getting away with since new rules brought in two years ago.

Replying To BarneyGrant: "It was a better team. Had some brilliant players and were winning All Irelands at a time when dare I say it, the competition - within Munster - was of higher calibre." If it wasnt for kerry that 2000s Cork team would conceivably have won 4 or 5 all Irelands that decade.

As a Monaghan man i woulda give anything to get to see our team get to an all Ireland final in that 2013 to 2024 era. Hopefully you have different luck than us this weekend and get there. Hope to see Croke park completely red now Saturday them boys deserve the support.
Yous are there on merit not luck and i wouldn't fear mayo one bit. They have proved nothing yet under Moran. it Just shows when smaller county's gets their structure in place the sky's the limit." Thank you. The Farney are a great neighbour
