It's a tough situation for the North as the County Boards seem to focus on the Football. The GAA need to award Counties for winning lower tier competitions. You could have: Winner of Joe McDonagh - €250,000 Winner of Christy Ring - €175,000 Winner of Nicky Rackard - €125,000 Winner of Lory Meagher - €75,000 The money could then be used for development and to either send the winners on a holiday or give them a few quid instead. There's an incentive then to win the competition and to play for your County. Faithfull (Offaly) - Posts: 573 - 14/06/2018 11:07:10 2111422 Link 0 |
Yeah, they need more games than that. I wouldn't necessarily restrict the underage teams to the same tier as their seniors. I'd have promotion and relegation. So say Down win an All-Ireland minor B, that team should play u20/22A 2 or 3 years later.

It's Leinster Hurling final day and it's Galway for me to win back to back Leinster Hurling titles katser (Galway) - Posts: 2193 - 01/07/2018 11:04:05 2117111 Link 0 |
Maybe/probably Galway, all the tipsters in the media have gone for them. But, Cody's had time to think about this game for a few weeks, and he has made big changes. Kilkenny for me.

Poor enough game I think. Physical and good fielding but some poor misses and errors in general. Dubh_linn (Dublin) - Posts: 2312 - 01/07/2018 17:04:20 2117262 Link 0 |
Not a classic final by any means but good hurling. Where will the replay be now that Croker is out of commission for the next two weekends? Portlaoise? Dubsfan28 (Dublin) - Posts: 2509 - 01/07/2018 17:32:43 2117270 Link 0 |
A Stinker in Leinster. No team deserved to win that sloppy encounter. None of those two look like All Ireland winners. I'm hoping for a much improved performance but I think the extra game will end both teams seasons with no trip to an All Ireland final.

Referee made sure it finished a draw by holding up the play for a throw in and letting the last 30 seconds fizzle out. gaelicgab (USA) - Posts: 878 - 01/07/2018 17:34:11 2117277 Link 3 |
What an absolutely brilliant game. Just because it wasnt 3-32 to 4-27 or something doesn't mean it wasn't a great game. Some of the catching and defending was a joy to watch. 890202 (Wexford) - Posts: 1278 - 01/07/2018 17:38:14 2117279 Link 1 |
It wasn't a good game. Look at the misses. I agree you don't need a high scoring game for it to be good but the basics were poor today I felt. Guys unable to rise the ball.,shocking decision making by both teams. There were periods of quality but not enough.
