I'd probably pay Moran midfield or fitness permitting maybe Darragh Fives (think he played there one year?)

Forgot about Darragh Fives. I almost just assume he'll be injured. He could be an option I suppose if fit and has been doing the stick work for all the short passes.

Is Conor Gleeson the man for midfield, know he was named there in 17 but rarely played there as he dropped into defence

Just a question but are we going with the same defence we had v limerick when everyone is fit or will there be changes

He is the perfect candidate for midfield.

Doubt it .mc nulty not of the standard yet.calum lyons will be lucky to feature .noelie is a shoe in .looks like or af least id be going for TDB although he will seriously have to get tighter .Aussie should be center back .p mahoney..id be thinking Shane fives to get his spot back
And prunty or D fives to go full back .

Darragh Fives has played midfield before and did well there. I would have liked to see Daragh Lyons tried there during the league.

Strange game in one way. Roanmore very good in the first half but completely lost their discipline after half time . They should have just came out in second half and hurled instead of getting involved in arguments .2 of their players getting sent off killed them. Ozzie got a point that was worth the admission alone but not at much other than that

Yeah Roanmore very poor in the second half and as you said their indiscipline really cost them. One point in the second half!
Strange decision by Mount Sion managment to start Midget Roche at full forward for the first 15 minutes but at least they brought him out.

That point by Gleeson.... wow!
Austin was midfield for the whole game.

Had a roanmore man telling me during the week that they would go close to winning it this year. Yet only 1 point in.the 2nd half.

Strange game is right. Talk about game of two halves!

Who was red carded for roanmore and who's the mount Sion player that took a serious injury. Looked like his shoulder.

Would find it hard to believe they would go close this year. They’re always well organised and the short running game suits them but it’s much like the previous Waterford style-it will only get you so far!
DLS seem to be moving well if their league results are anything to go by and Abbeyside again will be thereabouts but it’s still hard to see Ballygunner being beaten. When you see the caliber of players that didn’t start for them today you would have to think they’re red hot favourites.

Looking at the weekend programme:
Conor Gleeson only named on the bench for Fourmilewater. Maybe not fully right yet or just a false team named.
Prunty named at midfield for Abbeyside.

Abbeyside 2-15 Fourmilewater 0-13

Abbeyside had a comfortable win over Fourmilewater in their senior hurling championship first round game in Dungarvan this evening. Abbeyside had the perfect start when Neil Montgomery goaled in the first minute. However, a hardworking Fourmilewater side generally had the better of affairs in the rest of the half. Abbeyside’s long ball game got little return against the wind and a resolute Fourmilewater defence in which Shane Ryan was outstanding at right half back.

The sides were level at half-time, 1-6 to 0-9, with seven of Fourmilewater’s points coming from Jamie Barron (three from play). Abbeyside butchered a straightforward goal chance just before half time.

With the wind at their backs and, no doubt, Peter Queally’s half-time words ringing in their ears, Abbeyside greatly raised their work rate and quality of play on the restart and totally dominated the second half. Neil Montgomery’s second goal in the 39th minute, when he finished off a good forward move, put Abbeyside five points up and the game was effectively over. Fourmilewater offered no attacking threat after the interval, despite the best efforts of Jamie Barron and Abbeyside’s winning margin would have been much greater were it not for eight second half wides.

Neil Montgomery hit 2-3 from play with Mark Ferncombe adding five points from frees and two late points from play. Abbeyside have some good young hurlers and could feature as contenders again this year. They also looked very fit on the night.

I missed the first half of the earlier game between Passage and Ballyduff Upper, which ended with the teams square at six points each. The second half certainly was better value, at least as far as scoring was concerned. Two early goals from Mikey Kearney suggested that a shock result could be on the cards, but Passage then took over completely, and a series of points was interspersed by goals from corner forward Eoghan Reilly and substitute Liam Flynn. The final score was Passage 2-13 Ballyduff 2-7.

sounds like a few close games this weekend in the senior which is a good thing but when Ballygunner get into gear they could run away with it yet again

Thankfully no injuries reported so far. Are the non footballers allowed train together next week or do they have too keep training with the clubs ??

Maurice Shanahan looked very sharp. Lismore build up a good lead with the wind in the first half but De La Salle kept plugging away and won it in the last ten minutes.

Will Walsh Park be blocked off for the munster championship games to stop people having access all around? Currently you can walk in on the terrace side near the changing rooms and walk around to the stand. I assume this will be blocked off come championship?
As the stand has no proper seating numbers, this will be unreserved seating unless they come up with something. Will people still be allowed stand at the back and at the tops of the steps? Hopefully there be some proper order to stop idiots who come in late thinking they can stand in the middle and block the view of those who came in early and took their seats. Over by the press box in particular, it's annoying when people stand in the steps at the corner of the press box and seem to get away with and even chat away to the officials.

Theres actually numbers on the benches but hopefully its first come first serve and they have plenty of Stewards working not just a bunch of lads who are there for the free grub

They could allocate like the 2016 Munster u21 final with stand/ East Terrace/West Terrace/South Terrace /North terrace etc.

Prob allocate randomly. Hoping all season ticket holders are accounted for. No public sale

De La Salle 2-21 Lismore 1-18

A late surge saw De La Salle edge out Lismore in this highly entertaining first round senior hurling championship game in Fraher Field this afternoon.
This game was of a far higher standard than any of the others I saw over the weekend. Lismore played some superb hurling here but ultimately lost out due to lower fitness levels which saw them fade out in the final quarter when it was De La Salle’s turn to shine. A strengthening wind in their faces and a brilliant double save by De La Salle goalkeeper Shaun O’Brien midway through the second half also contributed significantly to Lismore’s ultimate defeat.

Playing into the wind, De La Salle started well, boosted by a first-minute goal by Cormac McCann, but then Lismore got an iron grip in the game. Working hard, showing high skill levels and good teamwork, they set up a stream of good ball into their forwards where Ray Barry, Paudie Prendergast and, especially, Maurice Shanahan were outstanding. In defence, wing back John Prendergast and centre back Iarlaith Daly were particularly prominent. By half time the Cathedral Town men had a seven point lead, 1-12 to 1-5, the goal coming from Ray Barry.

Lismore battled hard to maintain their lead in the third quarter, with Maurice Shanahan continuing to lead the charge and might have held on were it not for O’Brien’s double save from Shanahan and Ray Barry in the 46th minute. O’Brien also made a super save in the first half. In the final quarter De La Salle took over, led by Jack Fagan who fired over a series of excellent long range frees with wind assistance, with Kevin Moran also thundering into the game at wing back. The switch of Jake Dillon from midfield to corner forward in the second half was also significant with Dillon hitting three good points. Eddie Meaney’s 57th minute goal finally put the game beyond Lismore’s reach.

County panel watchers will have been thrilled by the numerous excellent individual performances which were witnessed on the day. Top of the list was an irrestistable display by Maurice Shanahan who terrorised the De La Salle until the supply dried up towards the end. He ended with game with six points from play and six from frees. His first point, early in the first half, was one of the scores of the weekend. John Prendergast turned in a powerful performance at wing back, Paudie Prendergast showed his full range of lovely ball skills at centre forward and Ray Barry was very sharp at full forward. Jack Prendergast also had his moments, but was starved of possession in the later stages.

The big performance on the day for De La Salle was from full forward Jack Fagan who was on the frees, six of which he converted, along with four from play. He is physically very strong, and obviously back to full fitness after serious injury problems over the last year or two. Despite being given a lot of problems by Paudie Prendergast, Shane McNulty did an excellent job directing the De La Salle play from centre back, and became increasingly influential as the game progressed. Shane Ryan also did well with a three-point haul from play.

De La Salle: Shaun O’Brien; Sam Flynn, Conor Giles Doran, Michael Doherty; Ryan Duke, Shane McNulty, Kevin Moran; Jake Dillon (0-4, one sideline), Eddie Barrett (0-2); Adam Farrell (0-1), Pauric Nevin (0-1), Shane Ryan (0-3); Jack Fagan (0-10, 0-6 frees), Cormac McCann (1-0), Eddie Meaney (1-0).

Lismore: Seanie Barry; Aaron Whelan, David Prendergast, Shane Heaphy; John Prendergast, Iarlaith Daly, Anthony McGlone; Jordan Shanahan, Joe Lenihan; Maurice Shanahan (0-12, 0-6 frees), Paudie Prendergast (0-2), Finbar Reaney (0-1); Oisín O’Gorman (0-1), Ray Barry (1-1), Jack Prendergast (0-1).



Dungarvan 0-22 Tallow 3-12

In the curtain raiser at Fraher Field, a three-goal burst from Thomas Ryan in an 11 minute spell between the 52nd and 63rd minute almost stole the win against Dungarvan. The first half never got beyond the pedestrian, and was mainly a free-taking duel between Thomas Ryan and Patrick Curran, with Tallow turning over two points ahead, 0-10 to 0-8.

With wind assistance, Dungarvan dominated the third quarter, building up an eight-point lead, with Gavin Crotty (who had an excellent game) and Cathal Curran hitting some excellent points. Then, in the 52nd minute, Thomas Ryan converted a penalty after the Dungarvan rearguard had been badly caught out, and two minutes later Ryan careered through the Dungarvan defence to blast an unstoppable shot to the net. Then, in the 63rd minute, Ryan ran on to a pass to first-time the ball off the ground past Dungarvan goalie Gavin Power. The game seemed set to end in a draw, when Gavin Crotty popped up with a last-minute point to give Dungarvan what was probably, on the overall balance of play, a deserved win. That said, Thomas Ryan, who gave an excellent free-taking display with the wind in the first half, missed all five of his frees in the second period.

Star of the show for Dungarvan was centre back Kieran Power. Physically very strong and a good hurler, Power’s constructive use of the ball was a particular feature of his play. I have always wondered why this player, who was also very good at under age, never appears to have got a chance with the county seniors. Unfortunately he shipped what looked like a nasty leg injury late in the game. Patrick Curran, who played the first half at wing forward and the second closer to goal, had little impact on the game apart from his nine pointed frees and one late point from play.
