Only great teams win back to back All Irelands - 4 Like(s)
Replying To KerryAllIrelandChampions2025: "When David Clifford and Sean O'Shea retire they will have 10 All Irelands each. Football has changed and for the better." And I know some Kerry people that wonder why they're not universally liked....

The arrogance coming out of kerry is ridiculous. Fair play you won this year but no way will you be getting 10 all Irelands . You won't even win next year .

Replying To Pope_Benedict: "I would agree that making the Galway hurling quarter-finals for 26 years on the bounce is an absolutely fantastic record of consistent performance. It's possibly even more impressive, when one considers that Portumna or St Thomas (most of the time) were clearly superior forces to Loughrea, and were likely always going to thwart 'the town" from winning the title in that era........until last year anyway. The 2006 'win' was achieved against a substantially superior Portumna side, and I'm sure many still haven't figured out how that 2006 result actually happened, especially in the context of Portumna's record and level of play 2003-2009." I'd argue they should be at least making a county quarter final each year considering its population base and lack of other sports competing against hurling. Two county titles is an underachievement. Maybe I'm wrong but I have never heard a hurler going around saying he played in 10 county quarter finals and expecting a clap on the back. It's all about who has the medals and everything else is a kick in the you know what.

Replying To MrPBoylan: "Big Weekend of hurling this weekend. Plenty to look forward to:
Hurling Championship KO Junior Hurling Championship Semi Final
Clontibret v Latton
Venue: Carrickmacross at 1800
Monaghan Harps waiting in the final for the winner. Could be a tight one though Clontibret hit form in recent games.
Hurling Championship KO Semi Final
Castleblayney Hurling v Carrickmacross Hurling @ 1400
Inniskeen v Truagh @ 1545
Venue: Monaghan
Blayney to win in first semi-final. Haven't seen the Slevin's togged out for Carrick this year yet but if they turn up it'll be a close thing.
Second semi is interesting, as an old Inniskeen have been flying it this year. Truagh flying in the spring have come off the rails a little bit. Inniskeen to win this one.
How long before Killevan make an appearance on this weekend in the future? Would be great to see it and good to see Latton there now." Killevan??????

Replying To dickie10: "just wondering when there was a team to come from near enough nowhere to get to an all ireland semi final without getting an easy routre, and beat dublin , kerry and knock out the all ireland finalsits? it has to be a team coming from mid table div 2 the previous few seasons, so im thinking fermanagh in 2004 but of course didnt beat dublin or kerry but did knock out the all ireland finalsists, also beat a team who was in an all ireland final 3 years previously in Meathand knocked out cork who were in the all ireland final 5 years previously. other than that is there anyone? mayo beat kerry in group a few years back in killarney but were a top 5 team for 10 years at that stage. monghon never beat dublin, kerry or tyrone for all thier punching up over the last 20 years. Laois had good years from 2003-2007 but never really got to string a glorius season together to get to an all ireland semi final, thats a county that really underacheieved for all the underage success, Cavan also seem to now have wasted thier underage success with just one ulster to show." "A team who was in an all ireland final 3 years previously"... and got beat by 9 points

Probably slight changes since then as there was development work completed to the Cusack in 2023, but the best answer then was:
the hill/nally terrace holds 13 thousand
corporate/premium holds 8 thousand
lower tier holds 43 thousand
upper tier holds 18 thousand
wheelchair area 3 hundred

semi final also ?? But I would agree they didn't get it done often enough in spite of the opposition's quality
But seriously can you educate yourself regarding some of your statements here , no other sports competing !!…….I would say every sport from rugby ,soccer ,football , athletics, tennis , basketball ,volleyball, squash, and more take place at a competitive level in Loughrea , and in regard the population , true it is large in number but a significant portion of that is a transient workforce and more still simply move to the town but represent other clubs , Loughrea are an outlier in terms of a town with a successful hurling club , look at Ballinasloe for example, truth is Loughrea are a small enough club with a fraction of the membership of some of the clubs they are competing with
