it's on bbc2 scotland too, sky channel 970.
they showed highlights of the scottish championship final at half time there. was mental. shinty makes hockey look very tame.

Dooley just missed a sitter. Could've been game over there.

Scotland miss good goal chance now. Ire 2-7 Sco 0-8

ballsymchugh

excellent save by the irish goalie there. scotland missing a good few chances lately.

what a cracking goal by horgan there. got away from his marker so easy.

BQQ

Full time:

Ire 3-10 (25) Sco 2-09 (19)

2 goals in last minute for Scotland who were a lot more competitive in the second half.
Second was a long range free that dropped in. Wouldn't be too hard on the keeper though, as he had a very good game up to then and the goals appear to be appreciably higher than here. [was at full stretch to touch the bar with his hurley]

Cant believe I missed it,with three Kerry players involved and ex Kerry boss Meyler in charge there wasn't much about it in the local media down here,any idea how the u21s got on today? they were captained by Kerry player Shane Nolan

Are you sure? On my Sky box, channel 970 is altogether something very different from BBC Scotland!

if its not there then you can add it via the services menu as an extra channel along with UTV/ Itv2/3/4 channel 5 etc.

Scotland seem to be majorly disadvantaged through not being able to rise the ball but any games I've watched on YouTube seem fairly evenly matched. Anyone know what kind of numbers play Shinty?

Second leg of the Shinty is on now on TG4

Kerrydude1981

Ireland winning well

Ireland 5-3
Scotland 0-2

Great game, some lovely goals and points by Ireland.

I think Ireland should only be allowed take 4 steps while soloing the ball on the stick before striking

It lends a huge advantage to Irish players to be able to draw the last defender and then flick the sliotar to the spare man or to run around their marker to make space for a shot

Kerrydude1981

Thats some hammering 8-11 to 4-3

These games are usually very competitive this scoreline is a bit of a surprise compared to results of other years

cat in the sack

Shane dooley got a hat-trick some good goals. i think myself he was robbed of a allstar this year he was the top scorer in ireland
up to the all ireland semils he got something like 1-8 again wexford he took fergal moore apart in the semil getting 2-5 off him score
got something like 10 points or more again Cork, top scorer in the league, and Damien Hayes and Mullane got one ahead of him joke
