SFC 1/4 Finals:

Celbridge v Carbury/Confey
Moorefield v Johnstownbridge/Round Towers
St Laurence's v Naas/Raheens
Athy v Sarsfields/Maynooth

Celbirdge v cabury/confey - Celbridge
Moores v JTB/Towers - Moores to beat JTB by 2.

Larries v Naas/Raheens - hardest of all to call. Larries by 1 over Naas.

Athy v Sarsfields/maynooth
Sarfields by 4

klairondavis · 09-09-2018 11:08pm

It's Moorefield's to lose. Celbridge probably have the best 1 to 9 in the county but they have struggled for scores when it matters so Brophy will have to hit form. Athy's temperament is always questionable. They have enough talent in their ranks for sure but haven't managed to put it all together consistently. The league win suggests they might be turning that corner. Sarsfields were poor yesterday but any club in Ireland would miss Smith and McCormack. They will be a different animal with them back and the extra game will allow them to get more football into Hartley, Ryan and Kavanagh. Potential Athy v Sarsfields quarter final is easily the tie of the round and whoever comes through there will have momentum.

I can't see anyone else figuring. Larries are too reliant on Fogarty. Ditto Carbury with O'Flaherty. Confey have fallen back. Naas are still a work in progress. JTB have some of the best players in the county in their ranks but they don't have the depth that the bigger teams have.

klairondavis · 22-09-2018 5:05pm

Clane will face Leixlip in the SFC relegation playoff final.

Ardclough the first team into the SHC final defeating Naas. Celbridge v Confey throws in at 5:30.

Fairly comfortable win for Celbridge. Should be a good final.

Yeah Cloghs were going well earlier on and were expected to win but Nurney have hit form. Monasterevin beating Ballyteague would have also been a bit of a shock. It looks like the larks were caught on the hop in the first half and gave themselves too much to do.

smelly sock · 28-09-2018 12:05am

Anyone know dates for the senior football and intermediate finals?

Browning · 28-09-2018 1:46pm

Intermediate Final is the Sunday 14th and the Senior Final the following Sunday 21st. The Senior Hurling final is either 7th or the 13th depending on how Celbridge go in the football at the weekend v Carbury.

Fine performances from Niall Kelly and Liam McGovern deservedly see Athy past a Paddy Brophy-less Celbridge team.

Leixlip will not feature in the SFC next year for the first time since before Jack O'Shea was playing for them.

They might actually be required to win an IFC now.

Jaysus. Naas had it down to 3 points in the second half.

Presume TMH and Moorefield will be strong favourites?

Moorefield will be favorites alright but Athy beat them in the league final and are more battle hardened throughout the championship so they’ll have a chance

Browning · 11-10-2018 11:19am

Any thoughts on the Senior Hurling Final on Saturday Ardclough v Celbridge. Made a few €€ on Ardclough v Naas last year. Can they do back to back ?

klairondavis · 11-10-2018 8:07pm

Ardclough are a hardy team but Celbridge have more experience and are more battle hardened than the Naas side they beat last year. Celbridge are not the force they were when they had Gerry Keegan leading the forward line but the availability of Fergal Conway is a big plus to their attack. Bookies seem to have Ardclough as slight favourites but I would have it the other way around. There's huge rivalry between both clubs and most of the Ardclough players would have gone to secondary school in Celbridge. It should be a close contest.

paulie21 · 11-10-2018 9:41pm

Wicklow for the footballers

London, Meath and Roscommon for the hurlers

Moorefield champions again. Athy shot themselves in the foot time and time again and Moorefield did what they do best, win big matches in Newbridge. Naas beat Clane to land the minor title.

Ya have to feel sorry for the goalie who was giving his name to the ref. Ref thought he was messing, so gave him a second yellow. Didier Cordonnier.

Happened an old school mate of mine too back in the day. James Bond.

Hmmm i do t think so. Thats according to the goalie. Id love to see the refs reports.

The Talking Bread · 03-11-2018 7:25pm

Davy Burke new Sarsfields manager. At the very least it's great to see him still involved in Kildare football. Would have been sad to see him head further afield

Cavan and Kildare played a challenge yesterday. Anyone know how it went?

klairondavis · 21-01-2019 9:25pm

Cavan won by 4. Kildare light enough on numbers with Sigerson, TMH and injuries. Presume Cavan were in a similar boat.

No sorry. Only going on what I heard second hand. Kildare were down to the bare bones anyway. Chris Healy, Peter Kelly and Mark Sherry were playing with TMH and Jimmy Hyland, Mark Hyland, Jason Gibbons and David Malone were playing with NUIM. Paddy Brophy and Kevin Flynn are out injured and Paschal Connell, Podge Fogarty, Brian McLoughlin and John O'Toole are gone from the Panel.

Mick O'Grady and Neil Flynn are suspended so they will be joining Brophy and Kevin Flynn on the absent list for the league opener. Difficult task in the circumstances.

The Talking Bread · 22-01-2019 10:22pm

Why is Brian Mcloughlin gone from the panel?? Did I miss something?

klairondavis · 25-01-2019 10:13pm

seligehgit · 26-01-2019 12:34am

Lads just curious as to the expectations around young Jimmy Hyland?

He is some talent based on what I saw of him in the under 20s championship last year.Unfortunately I saw him up and close in the final.

Such a shame the exquisite talent that is Daniel Flynn won't be gracing our fields this year.Best of luck to him with his studies.
