Will they fit in a double header at this time of year though? First game would have to start no later than 12.30

Before we all get too excited about WIT beating the AI champions it should be noted that Hammersby the Tipp youngster scored 1-9 for WIT

He has been very good with WIT with the past few years but cant seem to get an extended look in with Tipp. Does that go to show the amount of talent they have available to them.

is it just me or does the draw for the SFC seem a bit unbalanced?

comeraghs

Group 1 - Stradbally, Killrossanty, The Nire, Rathgormack

Group 2 - Ballinacourty, St Saviours, Clashmore, Ardmore

Group 3 - Gaultier, Ballinameela, Brickeys, An Rinn.


Group A certainly seems stronger than B & C ....... The 4 favourites to win it for me would be Stradbally, The Nire, Ballinacourty & maybe outside chance for Killrossanty ..... & 3 of them are in the same group.

would I be right in assuming it was an open draw?

Waterford attacker Declan Prendergast will be out of action for at least eight weeks after undergoing an operation to rectify a hip injury.
Prendergast is set to miss most of the National Hurling League, according to county PRO Joe Cleary.
"He had an operation during the week, and we expect him to be out for about eight weeks," said Cleary.
Manager Davy Fitzgerald must plan without a number of key players, including the De La Salle contingent, who are preparing for an All-Ireland semi-final with their club.
"Aidan Kearney is still injured since last year. And there's a few fellows not back training, and the De La Salle boys are still involved in the All-Ireland club championship," Cleary added.

So with Dec & the De la Salle lads out and the "older" players that will be rested for the championship there should be planty of opportunities to try out the up and coming players in the league? No excuse for not giving them game-time now!

Both Hurling and football Hurling draws were done to a degree.

In Hurling De La Salle as County Champions were automatically put in group one, Ballygunner as last years beaten finalists were put in group two. The two beaten semi finalists were then put into the group opposite the team that beat them in the semis. The four teams beaten in the quarter finals were next drawn and could be placed in either group. The remaining three teams that played last years senior championship and Roanmore as Intermediate champions were drawn next and again could be placed in either group.

In Football, Stradbally as County Champions were automatically put in group one, Ballinacourty as last years beaten finalists in group two and Gaultier and Ballinameela as the beaten semi finals teams into group three. The remaining seven teams that played senior last year and Clashmore as intermediate champions were drawn and could be placed in any group. It was the luck of the draw that Group One appears so strong. Group three could also be said to be very strong. Brickeys, Ballinameela and An Rinn are not very far from each other and could result in some good football been played.

Any particular reason Tom why the Hurling is run with 2 groups of 6 & the football with three groups of four!

Hurling system seems a lot more straightforward.

I´d agree with you that group 3 seems even .... but with 4 average teams. I know Ballinameela got to the semi-final last year but I see them struggling to stay up this year.


have the Junior & Inter draws been made yet?

& any news on transfers?


thanks!

Ermm how would one find out about whether the league matches are in Dungarvan or the Sportsfield? Or has it been confirmed yet?

Also any news on the CIT match tomorrow, as of now is it still going ahead?

The football in Bushy Park according to Tom

Hurling is on in Walsh Park, no word on if its going ahead though. With the sever frost and cold lately it surely has to be a risk though?


EDIT - only realised you were talking about league games, the venues I was referring to were for tomorrows games

I probably shoulda been clearer with what I was asking!
And yea I was wondering about the frost coz I was hearing of different things around being cancelled because of it.. Hopefully it will still go ahead though

At 2pm tomorrow the frost should not be an issue (it seems to be easing a little now, Does not seem to be as cold as it was earlier), but i guess for those that will be watching it will be cold.

Seems grand out now so the match should be fine to go ahead. Anyone heading down for a look?

Yeah I'm gonna head over to it alright

Cake Man

Same as. I'll be interested to see what kind of team we field, given options are very strained. Should be a worthwhile run out with plenty of fringe players getting a run.

Cake Man

Poor enough game but managed to turn the game around and get the win. CIT were 6 or 7 pts up at one stage but 2nd half points and a Richie Foley goal from a 21 free closed it out. Strong team out with Clinton, Lawlor, Brick, Nagle, Molumphy, Seamus Prender, Foley, Maurice and Shane Walsh all playing.

Anyone know who we play next and when and where it will be on?

PTH2009

Were playing Clare in Clare on the 30th Jan

KevIRL

Bitterly bitterly cold, my toes are still frezing

Waterford team was
Clinton Hennessey
Darragh Fives
Jerome Maher
Liam Lawlor
Chris Ryan
Jamie Nagle
Brick Walsh
Stephen Molumphy
Seamus Prendergast
Richie Foley
Gavin Crotty
Maurice Shanahan
Brian O Halloran
Shane Walsh
Shane Casey

Frank McGrath, Paudie Mahoney and Eamonn Murphy all came on.

Poor first half with Waterford looking very rusty and second to evey ball. CIT led 0-9 to 0-3 at HT. Waterford started the second half strongly and actually ended up ahead after about 15 mins. Final score 1-12 to 0-11 with Richie Foley scoring the goal from a 21 metre free. He scored 1-8 in total I think, and had a very good second half. Other good performers for Waterford were Brian O Halloran, Stephen Molumphy and Liam Lawlor. Maurice Shanahan got a straight red about 10 mins before the end.

The footballers lost to Clare 1-10 to 0-10

Both sides today were very poor. Waterford held David Dubrity scoreless till seven minutes from the end which is no mean achievement. Both sides were short a few players. The Waterford players missing would make a big difference.
