Having finished level 0-20 to 1-17 the last day, who will emerge voctorios as the journey continues

Teams posted when named

Diabhal Beag · 01-06-2015 5:10pm

Tickets are 20 for stand and just a 10er for terrace with a 5er concession for OAP's and students. Considering there's a Laois/Kildare game after that's fantastic value.

T0001 · 01-06-2015 5:16pm

Should sell quickyl :L

Yes, I think the replay will be a great game.
And those prices are excellent

Davys Fits · 01-06-2015 7:01pm

Both teams should be delighted with a draw as they both could do with the extra game. Hard to call the replay. I would have a fancy for Galway but lest not forget what Galway do when expectations are high. Dubs are still missing a top forward and although schutte was impressive the others were quiet. Im sure the replay will be a better game although I enjoyed the first game too.

Was just wondering with regards to season tickets will there still be an option to buy tickets for the stand or not as its a replay. First season with season ticket so not sure on the story with a replay.

It does say on tickets.ie that its a reserved fixture so just wondering. Any info much appreciated.

Should make for a great occasion if the weather is someway decent. Tullamore had a great atmosphere for the two Galway - Kilkenny games last year.

Edit should have looked first. To answer my own question:
If a replay is required, the purchaser will be charged for the replay at the same price as the drawn match. If the Opening Championship fixture is drawn the relevant stadium area charge less €5.00 will be charged for adult Season Tickets and the relevant stadium area charge for juveniles will be charged.

Question - how come Galway don't get home games in Leinster but Antrim do? You'd think the same restrictions would apply to both 'guests'.

Because when Galway entered Leinster they agreed to play all their games at a neutral venue

Antrims games were during the Round Robin which is home and away

Nugget89 · 02-06-2015 10:17am

Any chance of RTE showing this?

From The Irish Times:

It’s unlikely that Saturday’s Leinster hurling championship replay between Dublin and Galway in Tullamore will be televised. RTÉ could broadcast it, should they receive permission from the GAA, but a number of issues make it seem increasingly difficult.

If RTE show the replay, then the broadcast would overlap with Sky's coverage of the LSFC match between Laois and Kildare.

keeponhurling · 02-06-2015 1:02pm

But the matches don't overlap

The TV coverage (i.e. build-up, analysis) possibly would.

Sky's build-up starting at 6:15 I think and the hurling would be just over so RTE would have 5-10 mins overlap

citykat · 02-06-2015 3:57pm

The replay between KK & GY in Tullamore last year was not televised live. No reason given then either.

Wolfhillbilly · 02-06-2015 4:21pm

I doubt they can put the hurling on as TG4 are showing the Ring, Rackard and Meagher Cup finals on Saturday. It wouldn't be fair on those counties to take the hurling spotlight away from them on their big day ( which personally I would agree with)

Well then they shouldn't be scheduling the game for that day and time then.

Makes a joke of the championship when big games go untelevised and to make it worse, are put on in locations with low capacity that can sell out easy.

Galway/KK sold out last year as far as I remember and its a possibility on Saturday since its only about a 20k and 4 teams this time.
If they're going to let games run into replays, they better make sure its on somewhere big enough to accommodate every person who turns up on the day if it's not going to be televised.

Very Bored · 02-06-2015 5:55pm

I was going to say f Sky, televise it, but I wouldn't be in favour of that if it means taking away from Ring, Meagher and Rackard finals. That said, I do remember watching at least one match on RTE.ie that wasn't televised so I don't understand why that's not an option anymore. That said, its poor scheduling on the part of the GAA to put the replay on at the same time as those matches. Its a huge game as whoever wins would be hard pushed not to make the Leinster final. Would Sunday lunchtime not have been an option or even planning the Ring, Rackard and Meagher finals for a hurling-free weekend?

Mountainlad · 02-06-2015 7:08pm

Cork v Waterford replay wasn't televised last year either. Same with Kilkenny v Dublin year before. Might be a web stream.

RoyalCelt · 03-06-2015 2:36am

Considering the amount of replays we have every year you'd think they would be better at getting them televised. If a station has the rights for the first match ie. Rte, and they decide not to show the replay then the match should go up to tender. So in this case sky get to show it.

RTÉ have announced that they will have live coverage of the replayed Leinster SHC quarter-final this weekend.

Michael Lyster will be joined by Eddie Brennan and Tomás Mulcahy at O’Connor Park, with commentary from Marty Morrissey and Donal O’Grady.

Antrim don't get home games in the Leinster championship as far as I know.

They do get home games in the qualifier group, but that group is technically just a qualifier group to get to the Leinster championship proper, its not actually the Leinster championship at all.

As for the Galway situation, I'd be in favour of them getting home/away games. If they're good enough to play in the Leinster championship, then they're good enough to get home games in my view.

However it must be pointed out that for all their giving out about getting home games, I've never once heard them offer to play Kilkenny, Dublin, Offaly or Wexford in their grounds, its always about Galway getting home games.

Secondly, they wanted to take part in the minor and U21 last year and were rejected by the Leinster counties. I'd be of the opinion that that was wrong, counties that want to hurl, should be allowed to hurl if they're willing.
But at the same time that option was offer to them a few years before, and they rejected it.
Also, it has to be noted that there are some in Galway, most vocally Mattie Murphy, who don't want Galway in Leinster at any grade.
And there was no mention of them wanting their clubs in the Leinster championship either.

I'd be in favour of Galway participating in Leinster at all levels and getting the equal treatment along with it. But not if Galway want to pick and choose what competitions and when they want to take part, they either want to be fully part of Leinster and fully committed to it, or put it with what they get.

If Galway really want equal treatment, then go into Leinster properly, at all levels, on a dedicated permanent basis. None of this we want our county sides but not our clubs, none of this review after three year business and see if we go from there.

As it is, they want to have home games, but the only county they seem or have said (to my knowledge anyway) they are willing to play in their own ground is Laois.
They wanted to come into Leinster at U21 and minor, but to review it after three years to see if it suited them.
They talk about reviewing the seniors after every three years as it is.
They have made no effort or mentioned their clubs coming into Leinster.

While I would personally agree with Galway in Leinster getting home games, I can see the argument that if Galway really want home games in Leinster, then there should be the same commitment to Leinster hurling fully at all levels on a permanent basis (no three year review crap) as the Leinster counties, not picking and choosing when and how to compete in the province.

Can you buy tickets at the match in tullamore or is that risky?

It's a bit risky as stand tickets are selling well I'm told. Its best to buy before hand. Better safe than sorry

why all the fuss, Galway are in leinster championship it was there choice to come into it, if they don't like it go back to just playing Roscommon and a free pass into the all ireland semil like they had for years. they haven't had to play a team like kilkenny, wexford, offaly, at home the Dublin games are in croker, if they were in munster it would be the same problem.

Davys Fits · 03-06-2015 9:32pm

Homeof... This is not all about Galway. This is about hurling. Telling Galway to go back to go back to cannaught if they dont like it will do nothing for the game there or in Leinster. Leinster needs Galway as much as they need Leinster and a compromise is required in the interest of fairness.

Fireball07 · 04-06-2015 1:44am

I think Galway should be allowed have home games, or else all games should be played at a neutral venue (which Croke Park realistically isn't, despite what some people say), preferably one which is an equal distance from both Dublin & Galway. But attendances would be better if they juts had a home & away agreement.

As for the actual match, Galway surprised me the last day. I have a habit of writing them off, and at times, you could see why. Cyril Donnellan had a decent game but I think he striked the ball cleanly once in the whole match, he's one of the most awkward strikers of a ball I've ever seen. Canning missed an open goal and was completely off-form; I do know he was just coming back from injury. They did bring a high work rate which Dublin struggled with and they do have ball-winners, which is a strength of Dublin's.

But I was impressed with Dublin in the league and thought they'd be much better. I didn't think there was much intensity for a lot of it, maybe that was down to the atmosphere, but when the game was really in the balance, both teams seemed happy to get a draw.

I'd still tip Dublin for the replay but both teams will have to improve a lot if they want to do anything in the long run. But maybe another day out is what they need to build some momentum.

Croke Park is of little advantage to the Dublin hurlers. Our record in Croke Park in recent years is quite poor whereas in smaller grounds like Parnell Park we've a much better record. I would have been much more confident of us winning if the game had been in Parnell Park.

Croke Park may be an advantage for the Dublin footballers but it isn't to the hurlers.

I also don't think Galway should get home games in the Leinster championship. I think all games in the Leinster championship should be played in Leinster. If that means a neutral venue for all games with Galway than fair enough but games should not be played outside the province.

The debate on this issue (from a Galway POV) the past few days is a little ironic; while a home game for Galway would be an advantage in that the home support would probably be larger, Tullamore (for one venue) is probably more accessible for a lot of the hurling strongholds of Galway. Pearse stadium is currently the only feasible home venue for Galway but as we know it's a b!tch to get in or out of and the state of the pitch this spring was appalling and suited nobody. As stated, CP is of no real advantage to the Dublin hurlers, certainly with the small attendance last Sunday, and the more experience the younger Galway hurlers get of HQ the better.

Galway, for want of a better word, are getting 'hardened' to playing Leinster teams in Leinster venues; a game at home against Munster opposition would be of greater benefit I think at this stage.

Although it might have been Croke Park was unavailable for some reason

Whilst I'd be surprised if that was the team to start I'm definitely glad to see Paul Schutte back. We badly missed him the last day. Hopefully Mick Carton has gotten back to his early season form and Crummey has gotten whatever nerves were in his system the last day out.

Did Carton lose form? Saw him in the flesh vs KK in NP. Solid at FB that day.

He was immense all league until he got injured against Clare and had to be replaced. With him in full-back and PK at half back it left Cunningham free to move Rushe to full-forward.
