Im surprised at how far off the pace they are. Its a poor indictment of Cork club hurling that they are the best of it.

that was the tamest second half of club hurling I've seen in a long time, total non event

Seadin · 05-11-2023 02:59PM

By looking at Sars performance today, you would never think they were Cork champions. This is another reason why the seniors are not winning. Club hurling gone way too soft in the county.

It was the tamest half of hurling since the first half of the match.

Is it time to do away with the club provincials and just do an open draw

Scotstown (Monaghan) knock out Kilcoo (Down) in Ulster by a point. Were 3 down with 5 mins left. Delighted to see Kilcoo gone after their carry on about the referee before their county final.

Fair play to Scotstown, the only way to deal with the likes of Kilcoo is to press the life out of them and give them plenty of physicality within the rules. I haven't enjoyed a moment as much in a long time as the shoulder that flattened your man with the tights from Kilcoo, the likes of him buzzing around handpassing here and there is awful to watch, the likes of him need to be hit legally hard and often.

Leinster Senior Hurling Championship very open this year. O Loughlin Gaels didn't exactly light up the world today against Mount Leinster Rangers. Na Fianna vs Naas in the semi final is some golden opportunity for both clubs while the Gaels face Kilcormac Killoughey in the other semi

Roanmore must be the first Waterford football club to win in the Munster Intermediate Championship ?

You'd have to fancy Na Fianna and Gaels in the final.

Some stones shown by Scotstown to come from a few points down in a low scoring game, to beat Kilcoo at the death. Beggan was incredibly influential in the 2nd half including scoring the winner, and that point from K Hughes to level it up was a huge score under that sort of pressure.

I doubt too many will be mourning for Kilcoo tbh

Seems to be something a little off about that club. Their players have a nasty streak, had the absolute displeasure of sitting next to their supporters on one occasion and then as you say there's their administrative antics. Good riddance.

Ya I'd find Down fine in general but this shower are a bit Deliverance.

YabaDabaDooley · 19-11-2023 02:56PM

Tight game here in Thurles. Clonlara were wasteful first half quite a few wides. Kiladangan man deserved red for stupid dig of the hurley although referee took quite a while to brandish the card.

YabaDabaDooley · 19-11-2023 03:06PM

Kiladangan down to 13 after Hayes sees the line for a loose pull. Seemed harsh to me. Clonlara should go on and win now.

ShamoBuc · 19-11-2023 03:08PM

Deserved red, he can have little to argue about.

YabaDabaDooley · 19-11-2023 03:17PM

Super well worked score from Kiladangan to take the lead. Lots of short handpassing and keeping possession. Just gone two ahead.

callaway92 · 19-11-2023 03:17PM

Clonlara been lobbing 50/50s on top of their forwards even though they have a 2 man advantage on the pitch.

I suppose they're lucky that this year their bottle-job came AFTER winning County instead of during the County Championship.

callaway92 · 19-11-2023 03:22PM

Ah jaysis donation returned in the end by Kiladangan. Enjoyable game

ShamoBuc · 19-11-2023 03:23PM

Moriarty came on, got 2 balls, scored 2 points.

Clonlara were blessed in the end in fairness.

YabaDabaDooley · 19-11-2023 03:24PM

Bit of a sickener for Kiladangan. Two men down and managed to wrestle back the lead only for three injury time points from Clonlara. Whatever about losing one man to indiscipline losing two is going to come back to haunt you. Good second half. Well done to the Clare champions although i don't see them troubling the winners from second semi final.

ShamoBuc · 19-11-2023 03:26PM

Either way, most will view the second semi as the real final., as the winner will be favourites for the final.

Billy Ocean · 19-11-2023 03:27PM

Conlon was immense, 1st red was a no brainer taught 2nd was a bit harsh probably more towards a yellow.

YabaDabaDooley · 19-11-2023 03:30PM

Second red was definately harsh but Seymour was fortunate soon after after connecting with the Clare mans helmet. That could easily have been a third red card. Discipline let the Tipp men down today. Red cards usually punish you in the end.

dirtyden · 19-11-2023 03:35PM

Both reds deserved. Clonlara would have serious questions of their sideline if they lost that. Moving Conlon into the full forward line (and out of the game) and allowing a team with 13 men to dominate the middle of the field with their 2 loose men marking space in their own full back line. They changed it up just in time.

Teams always do that when they have a man advantage, most of the time they'd be better pushing forward and using the free man in the forwards or the midfield.

ShamoBuc · 19-11-2023 04:12PM

Fancy Na Piarsaigh to get over the line by 2 or 3 points. Should be a close game.

YabaDabaDooley · 19-11-2023 04:15PM

Scrappy enough opening 7 minutes. Good goal chance for Dessie Hutchinson but he made it an easier save for Dowling hitting it to his strong side. Poor wide from a free by Na Piarsaigh also.

dirtyden · 19-11-2023 04:19PM

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121388407#Comment_121388407

Agreed but with 2 free men keeping both in their full back line when they were being out played in the middle third and also removing their main ball winner from that area almost lost them a game they should have won comfortably.

conor05 · 19-11-2023 04:31PM

Ballygunnar very good at the dark arts, holding hurls, blocking off runners etc.

This ref is on their side anyway.
