Congrats to the thomastown and tullogher at the weekend. I fancied both their chances but didn't think they would win as comfortably..as other posters have said in spite of lads claiming the cork teams were at a lower level they still had won munster and got to the final
Hopefully a few players on both teams can make the step up to the county team
On the whole limerick being criticised for throwing the ball..limerick do throw the ball but so do every other team in the country. The truth is they have a team of highly skilled monsters of men who are coached exceptionally well..they are the best team in the country at the moment .its up to other counties to improve their systems and catch up to them.
Yes limerick play on the edge and sometimes a bit beyond but that's what winners do.
Can any kilkenny man honestly say that tyrell/tommy/jj/noel hickey were saints? They most certainly were not and that's what made them great
Thanks for that, was fairly sure with the 2 Murphy's and Glennon were underage but wasn't sure about O'Sullivan. By the looks of it on paper we should have a strong U20 team this year.
Marty Murphy is U19 this year
Lar Murphy and Danny Glennon are both U20
Colman O Sullivan would be u22 this year
Congrats to Tullogher and Thomastown on 2 great wins on Saturday night, hopefully O'Loughlins can follow up and make it a clean sweep next weekend! Thomastown were excellent again on Saturday and just looking at their margin of victories all year shows how good they are! I know Peter McDonald and Stephen Donnelly have been called up but are there any other Thomastown players brought in? Surely Eddie Donnelly and Zach Bay Hammond would be worth a look, Robbie Donnelly has been excellent for them too but is pushing on and has may have missed his chance!
For Tullogher, would I be right in saying that Lar and Marty Murphy, Danny Glennon and Coleman O'Sullivan are U20 again for 2024?
good lad great response , myself and high bike may have had many battles but this takes the biscuit , i take it all back mr high bike espically the stuff about dowling on the sunday game 🤪
If it doesn’t suit you don’t come on here
take no notice that lad 100% blinkered to his own county , well done yesterday by the way
I’ll repeat if you don’t play the games to the rules it is cheating. What do you not understand about that statement.
When ur in a hole stop digging ffs,ur embarrassing yourself.Go away and celebrate the all irelands ye won this week and stop talking sh1t
🙄🙄🙄
Sure are they not cheating by constantly throwing the ball and the referee’s not calling them out and don’t come back with everyone is doing it . It’s totally against the rules which means it’s cheating.
Righteo.
I know that I'm on about the first 15
He has been already called up.
The players that will be called in will certainly have a pep in there step and an air of confidence. I thought the two KK teams defences set ups were brilliant and I thought the left corner back for tullougher was excellent.
Anyone else from Thomastown or Tullogher to be called into the county set up?
No they just have better players, a better manager and a better coach. It's really that simple. On this thread we have posters like you who make stuff up and try to push the narrative that they cheat. If their was any truth in it you would imagine we would read about it in the papers. But their is no truth in it.
Steven Donnelly should be there or thereabouts this year for the County team
I'm particularly pleased for the Thomastown manager Noel Doherty who stuck with these players from the start. Not a "big" name but by god he has Thomastown playing a terrific brand of hurling. They tried route one, high ball in, for 15 minutes or so yesterday and when it wasn't working they changed their tactics and took off. It's wonderful to see a team capable of switching between game plans.
Great night for Kilkenny.
There was a chasm in hurling standards between the Kilkenny teams and their opponents.
Two of the stongest clubs ever seen at these grades. As another poster mentioned, our club standard is off the charts.
While saying "we have the hurlers" isn't a panacea, it doesn't mean it isnt true. It is true, and long may it continue, we have an awful lot to be proud of even when not winning senior all irelands.
Good to read someone here has a good sense of reality about what LK are doing 👍. There's nearly a bit of bitterness with some other posters. Dunno why. It's only a game
Are you saying Limerick are on a level playing pitch with the rest of us.
So? Maybe the solution is for smaller populated counties with fewer clubs to regrade ALL their clubs from junior/intermediate to senior! That might help bigger counties like Cork.
You have to wonder what the state of club hurling is like in the other Munster counties since "low down" Cork clubs frequently come through at junior and intermediate.
Never said you were. It's not you making up stuff and posting it up online.
And yes they will. We were still in it in the last two all Ireland's coming down the home stretch. They are very beatable but also a great team.
I'm not a sore loser...can't vouch for others but this Limerick team can and will be beaten.
And ???
I think St Catherines were the 51st ranked hurling club in Cork this year..
If as you say it is likely bullshit, then why post it up online for everyone to see, followed by I fully trust the person who told me this.
You posted up that 7 or 8 of the Limerick players are subsidised to rest between matches. If that is not accusing Limerick of doing anything wrong or underhand.
Between you, Marooned and greenspurs ridiculous posts, anyone reading this forum would believe we are nothing but a bunch of sore losers who spread false rumours as we can't just accept that Limerick are just too good for everyone at the moment.
Great wins for both Tullogher and Thomastown. Hopefully a few get a run with the county over the next few months. Nice gesture by Tullogher to form a guard of honour for Thomastown as they can out onto the pitch.
Your one 100% allowed to call out anyone you want. I said I'd heard it and I said it was likely BS.
You don't get the rest thing though. Rest in an S&C sense is not playing easier games against Carlow or whoever. Rest is literally doing nothing after training or games. It's mind numbingly boring by all accounts but it's vitally important to recovery and allows much better conditioning. I don't know if you've ever seen programmes following soccer players. Most of there day is sitting at home playing playstation as they have to rest after training.
I never accused Limerick of doing anything wrong or underhand. Even if they have players who can get the rest there's nothing wrong with that it's not cheating. I'm not a sore loser,I take my/our beatings and congratulate the opposition. We also need to know what level we have to get to, to beat the best and they are the best at the moment as I said in that post.
