This weekends senior fixtures
Out of interest what way does the Kilkenny championship work. Do they incorporate a league into it ?
You might be right but has anyone troubled Kilmacud to date in Club Championship outside of Dublin?
St Brigids must have a good chance of making final or will Castlehaven be too stubborn for them ?
Crokes did struggle up in Louth against St Marys but Glen would be a big step up from the Leinster championship.
Glen will be strong favourites. Crokes missing 5/6 lads that played in last year final though they will have a fully fit Paul Mannion this time.
Kilmacud 8/11 favs. Should be a good game. I would still expect Kilmacud to win and go on and win back to back.
Anyone not using their senior club final ticket please keep me in mind - I'll gladly appreciate them put them to good use. Thank you in advance.
Looking forward to semi final between Crokes and Glen - after all the drama of last year , should have added spice, hard to call a winner, hopefully a good game
St Bridget's v Castlehaven semi final in Thurles on TG4 now.
Half the field is covered in a grass frost where the sun has not got to it yet, it's really weird looking.
Great win for the Roscommon men. No Cork club win since 2002/2003and only one Munster club has won since. It's a pretty dismal return. Would fancy the winners of the second semi final to win it out.
Stadium looks full for the 2nd game, be interesting to know how much of the pitch they can even see
Surely they could have brought a few of the yellow balls. While I'm sure visibility is much better pitch level than what we can see on tv this could be touch and go to finish yet as it gets later.
The fog has ruined it as a spectacle so far.
Its like it's being played north of the wall.
I'm expecting White Walkers to emerge soon
I've turned it off...can't watch that. Game should be postponed.
I've no idea what that means but yes it is bad.
Kilmscud need to get Paul Mannion and Shane Walsh into the game. Two points after 17 minutes is desperate.
Conditions may have saved Sheehy there. Elbow followed through and opponent helped off.
Don't know how the conditions contributed to a high, late elbow.... He got away with it and what looks like a bad knee injury for the Glenn man.
How is that not a red card?? Oh I see, it’s Conor Lane up to his usual tricks. Since when was an elbow to the head a yellow card??
Great score by Glen. Look that bit quicker all over the field.
Saved him in that the ref may have mistakingly allowed for them.
Pure filth
Wasn't filth. It was a slightly late tackle. Deserved a yellow. No more. Hardly a dirty stroke in the match.
Can't see the play and can't understand the commentary, doesn't make for a great viewing experience to be honest.
I only saw last 15-20 minutes looked like a horrible match/conditions, but Jayus it was tense.Great game management by Brigids.
Ah your one of them.
I tell ya though, it's a right day to throw a 16th lad on in the far corner.
If you think that was filth you must think there's a hell of a lot of filthy players around the country.
That's just at least the third frontal shoulder I've seen Kilmacud put in and bear in mind I can only see some of the pitch, and I'm not including O'Carrolls shoulder into Glass back early on.
Either the Crokes really like those cowardly shoulder hits or maybe they are struggling with the conditions.
Glen deserving 5 point leaders at the break.
Fully deserved lead for Glen. By far the better team. I'm hoping for an improvement for Crokes in second half but not too sure it will happen.
Yes you are right i counted three mis-timed , late frontal tackles. Glen seem a little quicker all over the field while Crokes look a bit heavy legged.
No excuse on the commentary if you are Irish born and bred. We were reared on that match commentary at school. Back when the minor matches were televised as Gaeilge. Same stock phrases not that difficult if you put any sort of effort in. All the information is there online these days as well. So in your case it is either fear or laziness. Or both.
But I agree the fog is awful, there was league match between Mayo and Dublin in Westport called off for similar conditions.
Nobody would see him today 😁
