DUB

No takers? ...

Here's my predictions anyways:

St Jude's v O'Toole's ::> Judes
St Brigid's v St Vincent's ::> Brigids
St Oliver Plunkett's/Eoghan Ruadh v Ballinteer St John's ::> Plunkets
Ballyboden St Enda's v Kilmacud Crokes ::> Crokes
UCD v St Mary's, Saggart ::> Mary's
Round Towers, Clondalkin v Erins Isle ::> Towers
Ballymun Kickhams v Na Fianna ::> Fianna
Raheny v Lucan ::> Raheny

Brigids - Vins should be a belter, could go either way
Crokes will have to be on top form to beat Boden as well
Ranehy might juist shade Lucan
Na Fianna v the Mun will be close as well

Anyone know which games are on in PP?

What is this competition you talk about involving Dublin teams?

Where can I get tickets for the All Ireland, I'm a hardcore fan, I go ever summer yada yada!

On a more serious note I think the level of interest shown in this thread backs up a lot of the points people have made in other threads about 'Dublin GAA' and fairweather supporters. A debate about tickets seems to get more opinions than the actual club championship.

Anyhow Crokes should win again this year.

DUB

True enough, some great matches ahead and you'd have a choice of seats in the stand in Parnell Park for a double header ...

Crokes are the bookies favorites alright, they'll take some stopping but there's a couple of teams out there that could take them.

I see B.Brogan scored 2-5 in the AFL2 last night. He's some prospect.

Nalced_irl

Im a boden man, pretty awful draw really. I cant see them turning over Crokes unless all 15 are on top form. Stranger things have happened tho i suppose. Brigids V Vincents will be an interesting one tho. I think Vincents will come close at least in that one and it should make for a cracking match.

DUB

I hear Hiney is back hurling for yez after his eye problem, great news for the lad and dublin, very good hurler.

On paper Crokes look very strong, seem to have got over their injury problems that saw them lose earlier [to towers wasnt it?]

Brigids - Vins is probably the pick of the round alright, looking forward to seeing yerman connolly again, he's some talent [in both codes]

Nalced_irl

Its great news that he is recovering from that alright. It looked like a horrific injury at the time and with such a future in front of him it would have been a shame if it ended his playing career. On paper, Crokes should be too strong but it all depends. Boden need to be more orginised and be on great form to contest that one but its possible. Vinnys V Brigids will indeed be a good un.

PS. I just figured how to add a photo to the sig so Pillars the man for my posts

DUB

He is still only 22-23 isnt he? It'd be great to see him back on the Dublin panel, at that age he'd be considered a seasoned pro on the Dublin hurling panel!

As for the SHC, anyone know when the next round is? Hill16 seems to cover the football grand but as ever hurling gets little or no attention.

He would be 23 i think. He was in the team below me and im 24 so that would be about right.

You're not a fan of the Craobh then gerire?

Think 'Boden can take them this evening.

I hear Keaney will go back hurling with the club if/when the Dubs are out of the football.

I dont think thats true

Be The Holy

AFAIK, he has been named in the boden senior hurling panel at the beginning of the year. In an interview, he said that he still pucks around every day. Hes the man to lead the hurlers back to the promised land. Far better hurler than a footballer.

Yea, it's shame more of our summer fans don't go along to club championship games. even if your not following your club, there's often great games of football and it's great to see the dublin panel members up against each other. Setanta televised some of it one time i wonder what happened to their coverage, i think it could do with more promotion around the place by the DCB.

He seems to say in every interview that he gives that he intends to go back to the hurling at some stage. Fair play to the guy, it'd be great to have him back hurling, but he'd now be a huge loss to the footballers as well. I can't remember where i heard/read that he would go back with boden after the dubs but he came on as a sub a few times last year after the dubs had been knocked out.

modmuffin

He went back last year alright, once the dubs were knocked out of the championship, however he fell out with the hurling management towards the end of last season, and as far as i know they has been no reconciliation

He does indeed puck around regularly, and im sure he'll go back to the hurling eventually, i just cant see it happening for a few years

at the moment he's hell bent on bringing sam home!!!

DUB

I didnt realise he fell out with the hurling management at boden, shame that.

I hear boden beat craobh handy enough, anyone go along? How'd Hiney play? Not a sniff of a fixture, let alone results or god forbid a match review like the football gets on hill16 ...

results from the last round of SHC group matches mean ... [from hill16]

Boden and OTooles into SHC A semis

Its down to the knockout stages of the senior hurling championships following the weekend's action.

In SHC 'A' Ballyboden St Enda's and O'Toole's booked semi-final slots with Craobh Chiarain v Kilmacud Crokes and St Vincent's facing Cuala in the two quarter-finals.

The semi-final line-up is O'Tooles v winner of Chiarains/Crokes and Ballyboden v Vincent's/Cuala.

Eoghan Dunne was the hero for Cuala as his 0-10 helped them to a 1-16 to 1-9 victory over Lucan at O'Toole Park.

Brian Motherway hit two goals for Crokes in their victory over Nh Mearnog, 2-17 to 1-9.

Some great matches ahead ... No better way to get over the disappointment of last sunday then head up to a double headder in parnell park to see members of the present, past and future dublin panels battle it out with their clubs ...

I am also a 'Boden man. Think I might head along to the match on the 23rd and cheer them on. Very tough draw for them though.

DUB

As tricky a draw as they come but should be a cracker of a match, I hear O'Mahony is back in form for yez after his injury nightmares, will be interesting duel between himself and Magee in midfield.

I think Liam Mcbarron is still out injured, with Vaughan possibly out of action and they lost to Towers again last night so i think you've every chance ... well worth the trip across town even if the first match isnt all that enticing, mind you marys beat vins well last night in league so hopefully they'll knock the students out.
