Clareman wrote: » I was in the park this evening, Newmarket beat Tubber easily, Crusheen beat Kilmaley by a point. I overheard a few Kilmaley people talking about the state of the Junior B, apparently they topped the group with Ogonnelloe and the Bridge, Kilmaley and Ogonnelloe were top because of scoring difference, all good, only thing is Pat Fitz decreed that because of home refs that scoring differences can't be used, so there'll be a 3 way play off. Also, the "conspiracy" of Davy, in his world all the hurling refs had a meeting the week before the Cork game and Davy was discussed and it was agreed that something would have to be done about him.

This has happened time and time again, not just under Davy's tenure and I think for clubs its just a case of enough is enough. In times past its often been club delegates that attended these meetings regarding postponements, the fact that club managers/trainers attended highlights the clubs unwillingness to bend on this issue. Last yr, first round was played c 3rd weekend of June, 2nd round 3rd week of September.

You'd think that after winning the All-Ireland, people would be slightly more forgiving towards the management team, obviously their training methods and everything paid off in the end, but people seem quite pissed off at how things panned out last year club-wise.

On the size thing, the Kerry team has a few lads (especially amongst the newcomers who would be regarded as fairly small/weak for intercounty at top level) Our backs would be fairly solid but there are a lot of questions over midfield - maher has been in shocking form and moran is only half-fit (was on crutches up to 2 weeks ago) the front 6 there are a lot of question marks over. I really wouldn't be surprised if it's closer than people are expecting, (unless Kerry manage to get goals early) There's also 10 lads in the match day squad who've never started a championship game for Kerry. Our junior team should be strong - there are a few lads back from the team who won the All-Ireland in 2012 [Any player who wins the junior All-Ireland is barred from the next year's competition] so I would be a lot more confident about our juniors

Hidalgo wrote: » Hurling management had a letter read out at the meeting re club fixtures. Crux of it was that if club games go ahead, they won't be held responsible for future results and can't guarantee anything but they'll do their best. What exactly were they openly guaranteeing anyhow? Think they also said the problem with the rd of club games played already was that county players were away from the county set-up for 3 wks, in reality it was more like one as stated by Clarecastle's manager. You'd swear this rd of club games was thought up Monday morning or something as opposed to part of the masters fixture list drawn up last winter. These games are going ahead in spit of rather than because of the co board

Puts the whole lynch affair of 98 into the shade. So I would not be knocking davy or mcdonagh for comments passed in the post match arena. I think davy vaguely referred to it when he said " there is something I might talk about at the end of the year". Trust me on this. .
