Being Sunday you'll be ok parking along the ring roads or if you want go up high street and park in the large car park at dunnes stores its a 10 minute walk from there

Get there early lots of parking from the ring road in. Dont park in any of the housing estates close by as there is a private clamping company doing the rounds and they like nothing better than to get unsuspecting visiting fans.

There is obviously no point asking a question regarding that tinker when ye dont like the truth

Any further abuse of any GAA players will result in an infraction. I have already given out a warning. If you're not sure what to post, read the forum charter.

Did anyone make it to any of the club games this weekend? Heard that Ballyhale gave the Boro a hiding, although they did get the game back to four points at one stage, but Shamrocks had too much for them (this report is second hand, be interested to know how people who were there felt it went). Scary to think of Ballyhale being that strong when they are missing three inter county hurlers, but the Boro have a bad enough record against them (and, knock out stages last year aside, against most other teams too, but I am hopeful of them improving this year).

Heard the Village had a great win over Carrickshock as well. Clara beating O'Loughlins, great win for them, and Danesfort got a good win too over Comer, while Martins beat Tullaroan.
So...any reports? What was the result in the Fenians game?

phkk

Fenians won by 6pts, JJ gave an exhibition at centre back and Conor Tobin was hugely impressive up front for them. Danesfort probably the shock result of the weekend and by the winning margin that they had.

Sunday was a club match. Show me the club that can afford to leave Richie power out of championship?

Carrickshocks talent pool?

Mountainlad

How would ye rate Carrickshock's chances in the club championship? Saw them last year and was impressed, losing Michael Rice was obviously a big blow.

Who do ye fancy to win it out?

Carrickshock can beat anyone on their day, but there's too much of a tail on the team to put together a championship run. They have the right top players with franks, the powers, etc, but lack the supporting depth. Hard to look past ballyhale in that regard obviously but by the looks of things, at this early stage, village look like major challengers again.

Martin's should be in the semis at least too, but they are like the opposite of shocks, plenty of depth but need a but of a spark to make them favourites in the big games. I expect them, village and ballyhale to make the semis dunno who else yet. Hopefully the Boro :-)

Any update on Shefflin? 8th June is the big day

Boring but I can't see past Shamrocks, Shocks, Village for the first 3 semi's dependent on the draw. Would be surprised to see St martins in there.

Tullaroan for the drop but then again every year they manage to survive somehow (Tommy).

Very optimistic about Martins lots of players and ability lacking a little heart and soul. They need to draw a big gun for them to perform to their best. Maybe Charlie will do the trick

Yeah every year they're pegged for it and it just doesn't happen. I expect the same again this year for some reason.

But the league has huge implications on the champinship.......

Yeah, I know. I'm sure Carrickshock will be fine to make the knockout though, even with out Power.

Yeah but top of that group will most likely miss the shamrocks in the semis

That's not the same, that place is like some freaky super club. I mean rural clubs where Richie power types don't grow on trees like in terenure.

peabutler

If Richie Powers grow on trees in Terenure then Anthony Daly really is doing a terrible job.

There isnt any seeding for the semi final. The top 2 in each group avoid each other in the quarters.
