No one calls Laois 'Leix' accept begrudging people on this forum. Go eat your scallions.

Replying To Onion Breath: "But you're not really neutral are you? Sum total of zero posts about Cork but a sudden interest in Carlow and Leix!" I am from Cork. I began looking at posts after the Joe Mc final as my mam's from LAOIS. Then I came upon your petty posts. You're a poor advertisement for Carlow.

Replying To CarlowJuniorB: "With the way Kilkenny club hurling is going, honouring the past will be a Kilkenny feature as well." Well your county clubs keep trying to get into our competitions. Go figure. I was at an u17 game between Barrow Rangers and an amalgamation of Carlow hurling clubs last year. Ironically the Carlow boys were called the Christy Rings, because they had difficulty rising the ball.
Don't worry about us. Stick to your 1800s language.

Replying To CARPS: "Would you prefer we used 'Queen's County?'" This forum has a lovely Carlow Sugar Factory in the 1940s vibe. It's lovely the way the past is honoured because I haven't seen some of these pre 1922 terms in use by older people since the 70s.

Laois by far the better team. 9/10 Laois beat Carlow, in either code. They just have that edge over Carlow.

Replying To Michaelbeag: "To big of a gap between a condensed season.
Did you actually read that post before posting
We were beaten on the day by the far better side .
You don't think we were playing challenges since the connacht final win.
Derry had 7 days from a good tanking from Tyrone to get ready for us.
We had 4 weeks got to watch them at least twice in Ulster knew everything about them.
We had no excuse yesterday.
Same lads will be telling you the 5 weeks Tyrone had before beating us was the difference that we only had 2.
We were beaten fair and square yesterday." Not sure what you want me to read back on.
Challenge games are pointless they don't come close to the environment of competitive championship matches. Derry was prepped for the All-Ireland series with proper Ulster championship scheduling, they probably learnt more about themselves in that one defeat to Tyrone than they learnt from their previous three wins. They lost by the same margin to Tyrone as Galway did yesterday. For one they added Rocco Devlin to their starting team and he ended up Derrys top scorer yesterday with 1-2.
In the All-Ireland semi-final they will not be playing a rusty Cork as they did Roscommon yesterday. Senior level with Tyrone isn't comparable as they are seasoned and conditioned adult footballers than 15,16,17 year old boys still in school. It is no excuse but factual evidence that the scheduling did Roscommon U17s no favours yesterday.

Replying To endgame: "Disappointing for Roscommon and Galway well beaten too. The Connacht Council needs to look at the scheduling of the Connacht minor championship. Too long a gap between our provincial final and the All Ireland quarter final. Think that cost both Connacht teams today. Back to back Connacht minor titles for Roscommon but no repeat of 2006 in 2026. We do seem to struggle against Ulster teams at underage. All our eyes turn now to Clones next Saturday. It'll be some anti climax of a year if we're out of all championships by mid June." Gap between the Connacht final and All-Ireland quarter-final plus the big gap Roscommon had before the Connacht final eventually caught up. The struggle against Ulster teams at underage happens in Ulster venues a lot it appears also.
As for mid June exit well every county is out of the senior championship by June unless you reach All-Ireland semi-final. The nature of the "split season" and rushing the inter county season off as quickly as possible.

Well if kildare can do it why can't westmeath, ??kildare have two new clubs completely in the last three years and another making a comeback after a long time.
Cappagh between kilcock and Enfield started at underage now a junior team and improving, never had an adult team before.
Round towers from kildare town now another new adult team in junior also
Rathangan have brought back a hurling team to the area for the first time in over twenty years now in junior this year.

Laois have 9 Senior Leinster Titles, 6 in football, 3 in hurling, fact. My grandfather was on the 1949 side, my mam's father. That's fact. Carlow have in 1944 football. Go figure.

Our 17s played one challenge game since the Connacht final where 30 players got a run out. Prep was mainly training and gym work and a lot of lads focused on their studies.
As I said after the game we looked like a team that had played just 1 competitive game in 2 months, had we performed that way in Connacht we wouldn't have reached the semi-final nevermind winning the Connacht title.
Well done to Derry the best team on the day and fully deserved their win. For us or indeed any team it's about how many of these young players can go on and have successfully careers with their club or if they make it at senior level.

If he keeps beating teams by 20 points in all ireland semi finals I'm sure he'll be ok. Imagine getting annoyed about a power rankings list.

Replying To Saynothing: "This topic is getting more complicated with every post. Solution, forget about provincial finalists getting home advantage. Wherever the teams finish in both Division 1 and 2 that's their seeding for the championship draw. Top of Division 1 plays bottom of Division 2 and so on until bottom of 1 plays top of 2. All neutral venues. Then use the system they have in place this year for remaining games." Most sensible post in a while. Seeding is rewarderd for sustained work and consistency over a period of time, not beating London or waterford or Clare in a provincial semi.

Thats good and the free tickets certainly helped.Its about time the Leinster council did more for hurling.No reason why the Leinsyer championship cannot be as good as the Munster.This year I think Leinster had more exciting games.
On yesterday,it was very disappointing.Never changed it up at all.Constantly pumping high balls in and vot nothing out of it only giving Galway more energy.Galway better team by far and no complaints on result but hopefully management realise when things not working you have to change.

A lot of 'cocsure' posters from both Munster and Leinster with egg on their faces this morning. Some of them will now start the usual 'plámás' re Galway. It's a difficult day for Dublin, I hope they'll put it up to Clare.

Replying To Wicklowman: "Fermanagh, Antrim or Offaly away is our fate in the Quarter Finals.
I was at the game today. Very slowly and methodical for the first 45 mins. We took an early 1-1 0-0 lead, then allowed Tipp tale a 0-9 to 1-3 lead after 46 minutes. The player for me who changed the match at first was Eoin Darcy. Then Kevin Quinn. Then the introduction of Mark Kenny. These lads opened up the game. Tipp won a lot of possession around the midfield kickouts, but had very few scores in them. You always had the feeling Wicklow would eventually break them. Got there in the end." I think Down and Offay are favourites as they both played in division two this season. For this reason I hope we avoid Offaly in the draw as they've already beaten Down at home. I'd prefer Fermanagh if I could choose. You're right, by my reckoning, we scored 1-1 within first 6-7 minutes and only scored 2 points in the next 30 minutes or so. I know the style of play was to counter the wind and it worked. Kevin Quinn's two scores in the second half: one with his right foot and one woth his left foot were decisive and pure class. Next game will be a test as all this team's best results and performances have been at home except against Carlow away. Team needs to play to a high standard away from Aughrim if they are to win this competition.

Replying To Bimb: "I was heavily critisied here for saying the Carlow team was going backwards in terms of game plan and making the most of our talent. Would anyone think I had a point after today's game?" You're hardly claiming justification on one poor performance, hardly?? Completely under performed. Forget tactics, convert some of these misses, easy misses, could Have been a 10pt win. They're great men, gave us another great occasion. Can only see them stick together, hurling is there lives, carlow hurling
as it has to be. Some of that shooting today was junior B standard, they know that!. Our boys are Leinster senior standard when on their A game, great men, proud carlow men, and proud hurling men and they will be back, Chris, James D, Mouse, Ciaran W, Dion W, Mac, . Add in young talented men like Jack T, Evan K, F Fitz, Donagh M, Conor K, all top men and top players mixing it at highest level and we'll rise again next year… Leix beat us 2/7 last attempts, all big games. They're also too good to loose all of them to be fair.
