Dermos on fire your defence is terrified

I would say if Dublin played the U21s v Laois they would still win handy enough.
Maybe they should?

Not so sure last year the Laois U21 gave the Dublin U21 team a good game.
Different this year though I guess.

Nowlan Park is ideal for Dublin fans coming off the motorway. If you come off at junction 8 the road off the motorway brings you straight to the ground as its on that side of the town, straight through the roundabout at the ring road. If you park along by the Toyota garage across from McDonalds you will have a ten minute walk to the stadium but you will be close to main road and get out very easily.

I will be leaving good and early Kilkenny will be jammed with culchies, culchie comedians, foreign comedians and the comedians playing for laois!

Bruce Springsteen, a wedding & a 21st this weekend past. Another wedding, a Communion & serious Star Wars shenanigans down in Dingle the weekend before (including some serious carnage at Paudi's)....I'm not entirely sure I can survive a Dubs Bank Holiday weekend in Killkenny. With a heat wave added in, for good measure. And it's my birthday too. If I don't surface until some time in late August, don't be worried !

Anyone heading to Wexford later for the under 21s semi final against Wexford?

Wexford are favourites and on last year's form and their minors from last year deserve to be. However, it is a strong looking Dublin side with a few fellas with some senior experience under their belt so I'd give them a shout.

Credit the sheep .. they did a great job for Saturday (coutesy Kilkenny GAA)

Encouraging start from the 21's down in Wexico .. 5pts to 1 after 15 mins

Strong enough wind but hopefully they hang on. Ref is giving Wexford some ridiculously soft frees. A shoulder gets yellow card now!

Seán Treacy hurling out of his skin.

COYBIB!

Looking good. Not even a card for breaking the stick across Treacy. They never lost that art anyway :-)

Just threw on the game there. Jaysus.

Was gonna stick a few on us last night as we were decent price. Damn.

I bet I'm the only one here looking for a mini Wexford revival - Wex +4.5 pts taken after 2nd goal :rolleyes:

Can't see it. Are Dublin playing well or have Wexford just lost the plot?

I think Dublin are playing ok. Its unusual to say that with them 10 points up, but they have been just ok. They are tackling hard and well up for it and Wexford are shocking bad.

I backed them at 13/8 but cashed out to win half what I might have done.

I feel sort of disloyal

I was the only one looking for that last free to be pointed :mad: - replayed Wex +6.5

Clear run to the All-Ireland now for ye anyway. Westmeath, Offaly and Antrim to play to get there.

Don't be saying that! I'd imagine that's exactly what had seeped into Wexford's heads.

Dublin look way too strong for the other Leinster teams - you left out Carlow by the way, which might be an error, just saying !!! - and are value at 2/5. They'll know what to expect from the Westies and are physically and hurling wise ahead of Offaly and Carlow.

After that, you just never know with Antrim. They ambushed Wexicans a few years ago but they won't have that physical edge on Dublin.

Truth be told, standard of Munster and Galway 21s has been vastly superior for most of last ten years so IF Dublin were to get that far they would be facing a huge task. But they can enjoy it for the time being, as there were plenty out to gut Fortune and the selectors had they been beaten. Sad but true.
