Fergal Barry to ref the Dublin v Mayo replay?

Looks like Kevin Feely will play with Kildare next year. He has terminated his contract with Newport County to return to full time education.

He'll be a huge player for us.

klairondavis · 01-09-2015 7:10pm

Good news for Athy and Kildare. Should provide options in a weak position for us.

Senior A Championship Semi-Final

Celbridge 1-16 Naas 2-8

I presume the above is hurling?

Pascal Kellaghan gone from Athy, ousted by the players by all accounts.

Where did you see that Nib?

Heard it off one of their players.

Sorry, was the Senior A Championship

klairondavis · 03-09-2015 5:36pm

It would be great to see a Celbridge/Ardclough derby in the hurling final. I think it would be a terrific clash.

Dr Crippen · 03-09-2015 5:55pm

There would be some crowd at it for sure

I've no doubt ye'll beat Caragh (probably).

That was tough going.

What was the end result, sorry for asking but I am interested to hear and to hear how the match went

I was hopeful when we got it to extra time. Fair play to Nurney. They got the goals when they went down to 14 men early in the first period.

Moorefield in all sorts of trouble. Can't win a kickout.

klairondavis · 05-09-2015 2:19pm

0-12 0-3 at half time.

Moorefield going to need to produce something special. O'Connor, Tyrrell and Roli not in the game at all despite Sean Campbell's black card. Roli gone out midfield now. Ben McCormack kicking points for fun at the other end.

klairondavis · 05-09-2015 2:37pm

It is. They should be able to push for senior football over the next few years. There won't be many teams out there with a better full forward duo than Hanafin and Hyland. Whatever happened to Gavin Smullen from Ballyteague?

He did multiple cruciate damage, it really destroyed him, absolutely unreal in his day made it look like it was simple stuff

Edit: are we at the quarters now in intermediate I lost track my team is junior, the different set up makes ya lose track

roy rodgers · 05-09-2015 10:07pm

Any one see the betting for the next kildare manager with paddy power. They have glen ryan at 1/2. Cian o Neill 9/4 and 16/1 bar..

I see they have ronan sweeney at 50/1 which mightnt be a bad bet considering he will have all the time in the world after today☺☺.

Yeah IFC 1/4 finals will be between:

Towers, Straffan, Clogherinkoe, Kilcock, Raheens, Castledermot, Sallins and Ellistown/Rathangan (postponed due to a bereavement).

Draw will be held tomorrow night.

That's a low blow Roy!

Senior and Intermediate championships are now at the QF stage, Junior championship is at the semi final stage.

Senior: Sarsfields
Intermediate: Towers
Junior: Castlemitchell

You heard it here first.

Yeah he was brilliant on that u21 team in 2008. He was as good as O'Flaherty and Smith at that age.

Frustrating to think that Kildare team beat a Dublin team in Newbridge which contained Diarmuid Connolly, Philly McMahon, Paddy Andrews, Johnny Cooper, Kevin Nolan, Cian O'Sullivan and Tomas Brady. Only O'Flaherty, Smith and Chalky made it from that Kildare side.

Sarsfields were very impressive today but Moorefield really imploded and their kickout strategy made no sense with so many big men around the middle. Athy could go either way now that they've cast Kellaghan aside. They have the talent to win it, whether they have the heads is another matter. JTB, Naas, Larries, Carbury and Confey will all feel they have some chance now that Moorefield are gone. Sarsfields just don't hold the same fear factor for these teams. If Celbridge could have Paddy Brophy available for the latter stages I think that could be a game changer.

roy rodgers · 05-09-2015 10:57pm

As a sash man yeah today was a great victory over the other side of town. We did play well and I knew if we could keep moorefield quite for the first 10 mins of each half we would win it.
Are we the best in the county? ? I don't think so.celbridge are looking good they played really well the last day against moorefield and I wouldn't like to meet them just yet in the next round.

One thing about today's victory for the sash is now we have to go on and win it. The last time we stopped moorefield for 3 in a row we celebrated like we had won the championship and in turn celbridge went on to win the championship. But tonight we are all at home keeping the champagne on ice. 3 games to go up the sash

klairondavis · 05-09-2015 11:04pm

A few of those Sarsfields young players came of age today. I was impressed with Alan Scully, Con Kavanagh and Ben McCormack in particular.

Today had the feel of the end of an era for Moorefield. They won't go away but it's hard even for the best of teams to maintain dominance over a sustained period. The spine of their team is getting on a bit now and they need new blood.

roy rodgers · 05-09-2015 11:27pm

I'd say there is a right few from moorefield had their last game today and fair play to them they had achieved awful amount over the last 15 or more years but the youth came through today.

I taught mcCormack played like a inter county player today very shape.
I always liked young scully who was one of minors that also playing in the senior final the same day last year! Madness..
Lawlor also played out of his skin.
If sarsfields can keep these lads together they could the ones to beat over the next decade

SFC 1/4 Final Draw:

St. Laurence's v Sarsfields
Johnstownbridge v Confey
Naas v Athy
Celbridge v Carbury

IFC 1/4 Final Draw:

Round Towers v Castledermot
Clogherinkoe v Raheens
Straffan v Ellistown/Rathangan
Kilcock v Sallins

Towers v Castledermot is a serious grudge match after the fall out from last year's semi final.

paulie21 · 06-09-2015 2:09pm

You'd normally pick Sash, JTB, Athy and Celbridge to win but this year has been funny that it wouldn't be surprising if any of the others won

Nib · 06-09-2015 8:23pm

SFC relegation semi final

Clane 3-14 Monasterevin 2-14

Monasterevin will play St. Kevin's in the relegation final.
