Seen a few games over the weekend both on Clubber and in person. In Intermediate big win for Blackwater over Buffers Alley, Crossabeg over Bunclody but I think Crannfords win over St James is probably one of the stand out results of the weekend.
In Senior Ferns with a narrow win over Oulart , Rapps beating Glynn and Shels beating Annes - Both Annes and Glynn in a bit of bother now. Annes will be fine as they have Fethard / Harriers left to play but I think Glynn will now find themselves in bother as Rapps probably the game they were hoping to get a win for. They've 3 tough games left that can go either way.
Martins pretty much in second gear against Fethard and alot of their bigger players to come back into the fold still. Fethard a long way off that kind of pace.
Rathnure in a good place also - two wins on the board and still without Stephen Martin, Eamonn Wickham, Conor O'Neill and Luke Codd . Shane Lawlor played first full game in about 18 months and scored 1-3 on Saturday night. Oylegate have some very good players but they have a tail on the team which isn't helping. The two Rowleys did very well.
As previous poster said Gorey didn't look fit, but i thought they looked tired team. Had heard they were training yesterday morning and it was a full running session.

Only got to see 1 game Saturday and 1 Sunday with the 2 AISFs being on, and being away Saturday night. Rathnure v Oylegate was a little scrappy with plenty of wides, but it was great to see Mikey Codd do well when he came on, and Ian Reilly was excellent at the back, both eligible for county u20 next year I think. Jack Redmond did well on Shane Reck, especially in the 1st half, set up scores and toik his own well, Shane Lawlor was excellent, Sean O'Connor too. Mooney looked good, one of the lads to step up from u20 to Senior this year. Mike Kelly was decent for Oylegate.
Taghmon had their poorest performance in years, around three quarters of their players were very poor individually by their own standards, with many having their worst games Ive ever seen. Collectively then this meant they were way off a young lively Shels team whose passing and moving was pretty good overall. Taghmon were missing a few of their best players, some will be back for the next block of hurling, and these will be needed if they are going to challenge at the business end of the season.

Replying To Viking66: "6 teams in each group is too many I still think." Yeah but if you're sticking with 12 teams, then you'll either have 3 groups of 4 or 4 groups of 3 which can be more awkward
I don't think there are enough good teams about to justify 16 in Senior

I really can't say that thats been the case. Different teams have had purple patches or one off good years, but having watched alot of Senior games since it got cut back to 12 I really dont believe the overall standard is better.

Seen a couple of games over the weekend on Clubber.
I thought the Harriers were good on Thursday, in particular Chin was excellent. As a few people have already said, Gorey dont look fit to me either.
Glynn will be very disappointed with their performance the weekend and certainly look to be under pressure now. I watched the game on clubber and they were very lucky not to get a straight red for an incident right under the camera in added time.
I flicked between both the Shels/Annes Oilgate/Rathnure games, I thought both were very poor games. The Annes got off to a very bad start conceding a goal straight away and will have to be worried about their two performances so far but the main take away was the quality of the games, or lack of it in both games. It was mentioned earlier about the co-comms on some of the games, the shels game was awful

I don't think there are enough good teams about to justify 16 in Senior" I have said on here plenty of times that it should be three groups of 4, Top 2 in each group into quarters, then next best two of the 3rd place teams. Every game means something., even a 4th place team going into the last game might stil get through. Also worst 3rd place plus three bottom teams into relegation semi final .

Was in ross at fethard martins game,as mentioned above martins never had to go above 2nd gear fethard just don't have enough of lads to get scores,and the bench is not strong enough for this level if they manage to stay up it will be some achievement.

Saw Taghmon playing 1st round v Gusserane- They weren't bad and set up well against Gusserane, they were not easy to break down but had no penetration or a good forward up front. Disappointed with Conor Murphy who was cleaned out by Mark Rossiter. Looking like a 3 team shootout who will end up in 6th(Relegation) 5th & 4th between District Rivals Taghmon, Clongeen and Adamstown. Cathal Doyle hasn't been playing I am sure he's a huge loss. If you get the OZ boys back for a few games you should pick up some points. Adamstown/ Clongeen game was as bad as a Junior B game, Taghmon should beat any of them if they unearth a couple of forwards…

None of these lads are even 30 yet. Hopefully a few of them change their minds and decide to play Intermediate this year.

Curious to hear what's going on that lads are pulling away from the first team? .. Is it a feneral demise you reckon?

Replying To MyOhMi: "Curious to hear what's going on that lads are pulling away from the first team? .. Is it a feneral demise you reckon?" They all had different reasons for not being available to train or play until June. Work, personal issues, being away etc. Then they felt it wouldn't be right on the lads who were there all year if they came back to play 1st team.
Hopefully some will change their minds and play 1st team. Its not as if we have a huge 1st team panel anyway.

Not being given a match in the Park is yet another example of how the county board is against us.Giving us all these narrow pitches where are young lads aren't able to use their magic it's a disgrace really and until the county start treating all clubs fairly we won't be going any where in terms of Leinster

Just asking for a county board friend ;-)

Or the club they are from?

Replying To Waltermitty2: "Does anyone know who is looking after the fixtures this year? Or the club they are from?" There's generally six to eight people on the CCC (i.e. "the fixtures committee"), and all from different clubs.
Chairman is Denis Cadogan from Horeswood.

Seems they're unacceptable to you, though. So just out of curiosity - assuming you accept it's not feasible for any clubs to have all its matches fixed for Wexford Park, which other venues would you deem suitable for Glynn-Barntown?
