What’s more Clifford is unlikely to win a hurling club championship anytime soon.

Didn't see the the under 20 match last night but the two pointers seem to make a big difference ,something we don't seem to able to do so far .I think Meath got three maybe four last night proberly made the difference .

The League is done and the All Ireland series is about to kick off. How do we rate our chances. For me this is the first campaign in 14/15 years were I'm not very optimistic. The League was real mixed bag. Some very good performances but some equally bad. Dublin really feel like a team in transition. And I have a feeling that Leinster won't be quite the usual cakewalk it has been for the last decade. I suspect we're going to have a frustrating few months ahead.

Same as meself. But Dessie made a fool of a lot of people that year. Benching two main lads that lacked pace v Mayo in AIQF 2023.

Then when wanting to control the lead bring on Kilkenny/Rock.

Dublin:

 S Cluxton;

The more I think of it given context it is one of the best Dublin wins in recent times, from a tactical point of view. Only the 2019 AIF draw (a man down) was better in my opinion.

Dublin are not “designed” for these new rules. But the way Bugler is playing he is capable of winning a match on his own (that on paper dublin should lose) with the “solo and go” and Alan Brogan type of footwork.

I think anything beyond AIQF will be overachieving, anything less than that a flop. Fortunately Dublin won’t be playing Louth in Semi-Final away.

If goes to form Louth v Dublin Leinster Final in CP. If it was provincial ground like the Leinster Semi Finals- I would be worried about a potential loss.

SORTED

May have a spare ticket if anyone needs one. 👍

Have 2 tickets for Wicklow if anyone is interested.

Don't expect to learn much tomorrow but looking forward to going to a different ground to see us play .The semi final in a neutral venue may not be the usual cakewalk this year ,we shall see .

Poor performance overall a lot to work on ,next day shouldn't count any chickens Meath have kicked quite a few two pointers and that will give them a chance as we don't seem to be able to do likewise .

I was sitting behind Oisin and he wasn’t pleased with free misses. You knew he knew they were costly.

It’s hard to know but it wouldnt give you great confidence going forward. Didn’t think basquel was good today but open to correction. Didn’t look like anyone followed the penalty in which made it easy for Con

The game is on the Sunday at 4 in portlaoise

Match was in Navan they Jayo scored that goal .
