Senior replay Sat 13th then Final on 26th if Rathnew win replay. If Mary's win replay final will be deferred until after Leinster because Balto will be Wicklow's reps in Leinster. Snr Hurling final in Aughrim on Sunday 20th inter semi final is on Sat 19th and final is on sat 26th winners playing in Leinster on 27th Eire Og play Leinster Junior in Westmeath on 20th Kilmac play Meath team in Greystones in Leinster Jnr on 19th Saw this on another thread. Can anyone else confirm dates? Why is the senior football final being held up so late? Will the county champions (Inter & Snr) have to play 26th (Wicklow final) and 27th (Leinster)? Very unfortunate for the fixtures committee with all the draws but only themselves to blame for the delay. Wicklow were beaten on 30th June - and their struggling to finish championships within 4 months! Can anyone confirm why any matches are not being played mid-week, which would solve any problems for dual players also? neutralfan (Wicklow) - Posts: 204 - 09/10/2013 10:59:55 1498288 Link 0 |
No midweek championship fixtures at request of clubs at county board meeting. No_Drama (Wicklow) - Posts: 509 - 09/10/2013 11:21:30 1498303 Link 0 |
Thanks No_Drama, but I'd assume there may be exceptions. For example, let's say Ballymanus beat Coolkenno on 19th, then go on to win final on 26th and have to turn out in Leinster on 27th. I'd imagine they would prefer play a semi-final midweek rather than 2 games in 2 days right? neutralfan (Wicklow) - Posts: 204 - 09/10/2013 11:33:25 1498308 Link 0 |
If I am not mistaken coolkenno and ballymanus have heap of young lads all in college some at quite a distance. Another reason clubs did not want evening miweek games was because of lads working. Most in Dublin and further afield. lot of lads up at 6am to get to work then finishes at say 5pm then gets home from Dublin at 6.30 pm too much hardship to expect players to be fresh to play a championship match in evening No_Drama (Wicklow) - Posts: 509 - 09/10/2013 11:45:47 1498317 Link 0 |

Other Counties have the same reasons as Wicklow Clubs for not playing mid week. wicklowrunner (Wicklow) - Posts: 637 - 09/10/2013 11:50:56 1498325 Link 0 |

It is a good point regarding players working out of county and in college around the country, very hard for them to get off work/college to play a match midweek, just thought it might be an option this time to relieve the congestion. neutralfan (Wicklow) - Posts: 204 - 09/10/2013 12:36:53 1498372 Link 0 |
is anyone surpried? HomerJay (Wicklow) - Posts: 369 - 09/10/2013 13:49:07 1498429 Link 0 |
Monopoly I assume you have your information correct and based on that the intermediate football won't be finished in time to fulfil the Leinster fixture. Also, should rathnew win the football championship their 3 hurlers will have a game on the 26th and two on the 27th? anon (None) - Posts: 335 - 09/10/2013 14:31:18 1498472 Link 0 |

At this stage small ball, the only way the dual players wont have a problem is if Mary's beat Rathnew - that way all they have left is the hurling. If Rathnew win, then one way or another they are going to have to play games every week or even 2 per weekend. Not my fault there getting punished for their success, that's the way it is for dual players all around Ireland, at club and county level. neutralfan (Wicklow) - Posts: 204 - 09/10/2013 15:58:27 1498555 Link 0 |
Also wonderingabout, keep you personal comments to yourself please, very disrespectful. The reason I created this thread was to discuss the dates of fixtures with a view to providing our club champions the best possible chance in Leinster, not for you to have a cheap shot at their players occupations. neutralfan (Wicklow) - Posts: 204 - 09/10/2013 17:38:14 1498631 Link 0 |
Neutralfan u picked me up wrong on dat one im not refering 2 marys who r a fine team only few years ago shilelagh cud hav beaten ranu in senior final marys group side n we need more of dem.im on about ones who over years r gettin hammerd by double scores all d time by de gud sides and wil never get any closer 2 dem i dont want 2 name clubs here but how many senior clubs capable of winnin senior de way tings r. in north none in south none in west balto in east ranu n pats de rest only making up numbers on a gud day bray.kiltgn or blessinton cud cause a suprise but not gud enough 2 do it 3 times in 1 year,n no matter who wins intermediate dey wont come near any of big 3 on der own. small ball (Wicklow) - Posts: 278 - 09/10/2013 19:39:05 1498682 Link 0 |
So the Dublin SFC final was played today and finished in a draw after going to ET (Yes they let it go to ET instead of a replay). They have scheduled the replay for Wednesday night at 7.45pm. Presumably they have scheduled this to allow their county champions have a chance in Leinster (who will play on Sunday 10th). neutralfan (Wicklow) - Posts: 204 - 03/11/2013 17:27:29 1508727 Link 0 |
