Limerick GAA Discussion Part 2

Ya you can see it all over the country with city and big market town teams in the ascendancy. With numbers getting smaller and travel getting easier we will probably see a raft of amalgamations at senior level in the not too distant future.

Yeah and since 2016 no other team outside the big 4 has been in a county final,

Would be great to see divisional teams back. If I recall there was Eastern Gales, Southern Gaels etc made up of Junior teams from each division. Probably very difficult to implement with the split season now and such a small window for club games. Hego and CON on the same team v Pwell would be interesting. Championship gone stale with practically same last 4 every year.

"The day we don’t strive for that is the day we may as well just call it a day"

Some teams currently (and currently is the massive word in all this) does not mean people are not "striving for" more competitive clubs. If there were no signs that other clubs are coming up I would understand your point but the "big 4" are not tearing underage competitions apart and don't look like they will all be the obvious semi finalists when the next generation comes around.

There just isn't a problem here.

Yes, I think Adam English should be a nailed on starter next season. His versatility has probably cost him a starting place as he can play any position from 8-15. I think the inside line beside Gillane might be his best position. The infusion of new players to the starting 15 will be key for JK next season. The 5 in a row is gone now so it should be a blank canvass for JK with everyone having to fight for their position. Inevitably some players that were nailed on starters over the last 7 years are going to have become impact subs or squad players. The key is keeping everyone hungry for success and take on whatever role is required by the group.

There's definitely a pace issue with Hannon so maybe O Neill goes there. Byrnes didn't have a good year but I'd back him to bounce back.

Doon Vs Na Piarsaigh county final.

Just going of live scores and social media it looks like Doon won handy with the game over at half time and didn't get any easier for the Well when Aaron Gillane got sent off.

Na Piarsaigh came from 3 points down at half time to finally go ahead from a late Will Henn score after closing the gap with a goal.

Only the weight of Doon having never won a county Vs NaP's consistent success can possibly stop Doon who are easily the form team this year.

Feeling sick 🤣

No local radio wasn't covering it which was a shock to me too.

Na Piarsaigh twitter went quite I assume because people were going nuts.

What's the Scor app is very good as long as your team is involved. NaP used to be on it but not anymore but Kilmallock still are so today's game was covered. I think it's voluntary like the old Aertel days.

The well missed 4 shots on goal in and around the 20 minute mark when they were I think 5 down and playing with the elements had they scored these it could have been a different story as I felt doon were vulnerable at that stage

i had a slight worry for doon after the long lay off ,yes they played adare and mungret but they had qualified by then, the well are poor at the moment , i know they have good intercounty players but the likes of doon or NAP would go close to rattling munster at the moment , the well have been struggling against the ahanes, the mungrets at the moment

i think everyone groned today when the twitter updates went from kilmallock 15-10 to nap 1-16 to 0-18 in the space of ten minutes , some comeback but and will henn is some man but it dose nothing for a fairytale finish to the championship , maybe doon will prove me wrong but i doubt it
