No word from the camogie board on how they voted last time or what their going to do this time.surely they should come out and say where they stand.

I was hoping zac would of got a few runs corner back. Moylan to be fair had a good college campaign but might be better suited to a more central position. It's a area that has gave trouble so it's dissapointing someone else didn't get a run.

As expected not much experimenting. I would of liked a new face get a game in the backs.Shine and Stephen donnelly are the two most likely fowards to make it so they should presist with them. Kk got caught this time last year against cw. Offally will not be pushover some think. They ran Dublin close a few weeks ago who are the second best team in leinster. There's absolutely zero pressure on them so they will be able to express themselves.yes anything bar a kk win would be a shock but I don't think it will be as straight foward as some think.

Less than 3 thousand tickets sold up to this evening so there won't be much of a atmosphere. The gaa fixing the match the same time as clare v tipp is absolutely scandalous but not surprising. We will have the same next week for the Dublin match. Many kk supporters will want to watch Munster next Sunday but kk and Dublin is on at 3 o clock. It's a pity they couldn't spread them out and give supporters the chance to watch it.

It was a good move by the senior management to keep eoghan lyng out of the 26 against offally and concentrate fully on the u20. He should be left with the 20s now. its nearly as important the u20 win something than the seniors.leinster is wide open with offally now eliminated but galway are a very good side. It would be a boost to the senior squad in a few weeks time a few u20s coming into training with some silverware. I'm hoping macdermot,Murphy,lyng and neary will make good senior hurlers.

ye I agree with ou about the U20’s leave them at it until the end of their campaign and see if any of the players catch the eye, I’m sure they are all part of the senior set up anyway so it wouldn’t be a huge step up anyway. Focus is the big thing today.

The way the Gaa are fixing games in recent years is indeed a scandal. All senior hurling championship matches on Saturday along with the Ulster football final and the Leinster football final standing alone on sunday afternoon. Of course, the match of the weekend Tipp v Clare behind the paywall, hurling is the poor relation.

Regarding ourselves I agree taking Offaly for granted would be very foolish. While they are very young and the championship hasn't gone well for them they are outstanding hurlers and the longer they are left in the game the more dangerous they will be. Eoghan Lyng and Marty Murphy are the only under 20s I would see adding to this years senior panel , but quite a few of the others, particularly Vereker, Kelly ,Neary and Hickey are real prospects going forward. Nothing simple for them next wednesday in Portlaoise either and they deserve proper support.

Celtic challenge quarter final v Waterford on today in Dunmore. Should be worth a look and no entry fee.
