It's the big one!, the winner of the last two Club Hurling championships go head to head for top honours, can Cuala and King Con make if 2 in a row or will the largely talented Na Pairsaigh be crowned champions. ciaran1988 (Antrim) - Posts: 86 - 05/03/2018 14:36:24 2081936 Link 0 |
Cuala will run a heavy looking Na Pairsigh ragged in Croke Park. Dowling aside who's been injured for a while, but the rest looked beefy and not in a good way the last day out. bricktop (Down) - Posts: 2503 - 05/03/2018 15:18:08 2081949 Link 0 |
The big one is right - the previous two winners. It has all the makings of a classic final. Extremely hard to call but I have backed Na Piarsaigh from the outset and I'll stick with them to regain their title.

I think people are reading way too much in to the first half in the Na Piarsaigh match the last day. There was a storm blowing right down the middle of the field and to only go in 3 points down or whatever it was was some going. mike03 (Limerick) - Posts: 2000 - 05/03/2018 16:30:07 2081966 Link 0 |
It has the potential to be an absolute cracker. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13692 - 05/03/2018 16:56:46 2081978 Link 1 |
Absolutely agree Mes I can't see much in it when the final whistle goes If Cuala continue to defend so well and have a good game in that area I think they'll edge it. Going to be a great day out jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20587 - 05/03/2018 17:31:41 2081988 Link 1 |
Coin toss which is how you want it , which is why I will be there , football very similar , very much open also two cracking looking ties which hopefully won't let us down Damothedub (Dublin) - Posts: 5193 - 05/03/2018 17:43:19 2081993 Link 1 |
Gotta say this has the makings of a cracker, and hopefully it will be. I genuinely believe the Na Piarsaigh backs are the one set of backs Cuala will come up against that may be able to curb Con o Callaghans influence on the game and I think that could be a huge factor.

This game is impossible to call. Two excellent sides that play great hurling and a joy to watch in full flow. hamstring (Limerick) - Posts: 318 - 06/03/2018 23:28:52 2082360 Link 0 |
My question is answered...!! Both Na Piarsaigh players lose their appeals and will not play in the club final. hamstring (Limerick) - Posts: 318 - 08/03/2018 22:12:05 2082826 Link 0 |
Ah any GAA team that plays in red and white I find it very hard to shout against plus Dalkey is a lovely area so I will be shouting for Cuala. OLLIE (Louth) - Posts: 12224 - 08/03/2018 23:00:24 2082836 Link 0 |
Boylan wouldn't have started now that Dowling is fully back but he'd have been a huge of option off the bench. In saying that Dowling adds a much bigger scroring threat so from the team to start it's not a loss in any way. mike03 (Limerick) - Posts: 2000 - 09/03/2018 10:14:26 2082881 Link 0 |
Cuala have not met too many top munster teams yet. Ballyea fell apart in the final last year. If na piarsaigh show up they will win I think. ZUL10 (Clare) - Posts: 693 - 09/03/2018 19:07:43 2083015 Link 0 |
Prior to the semifinals I would have fancied Na PIarsaigh. I thought they were were sluggish v Slaughneal but a semifinal is about getting to the final and it is difficult on any club to cope without two first team player. However I have that Na PIarsaigh win it as all their players are available to their county not like opponents, some of whom will not hurl with their county.

Con O Callaghan will run amuck in Croke Park. He looks even better than last year. Couldn't see any of the NAPs holding him. Past hurler (None) - Posts: 707 - 09/03/2018 21:43:49 2083050 Link 0 |
If he does cuala will win but I don't think he will. na piarsAigh for me though the loss of the two players might be felt but feel if they get going earlier than they have for last few games they'll just have too much fire power for cuala
