Replying To bad.monkey: "Some excellent matches live on DubsTV (free) this weekend: Friday night Vincents v Whitehall - a must win for both to progress. Vincents get goals which I think will win it for them. Judes v N Barrog - winner goes through so should be a good match. Hope Barrog do it Sat Crokes v Cuala - Crokes are through but Im sure would like to knock Cuala out. So many top forwards now back for Crokes, they should win Brigids v Plunketts - Brigids likely too strong for Plunketts" Brilliant, thanks bad.monkey, I can't really tune in as much as I would like but that Vincents Whitehall match should be good one. Crokes would only love to knock Cuala out. ExiledInWex (Dublin) - Posts: 1499 - 12/09/2025 10:50:23 2635812 Link

Replying To Fionn: "2 very one sided games last night..." Impossible to see other than Na Fianna or Crokes winning it. Crokes favourites but Na Fianna have been putting our virtual second teams. Almost caught the v Boden but still won a man down. I reckon they'll step up gear when required and retain Dublin. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3717 - 13/09/2025 12:53:52 2635970 Link

Dublin SHC Relegation playoffs:- Judes v Plunketts Whitehall v CC CC must be favourites for the drop. Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 4690 - 13/09/2025 21:59:36 2636037 Link
1/4 Finals Na Fianna v Cuala Lucan v Brigids Crokes v N Barrog Vincents v Boden Should be four cracking matches. Crokes should get past Barrog but could be closer than people think. Other three are hard to call bad.monkey (USA) - Posts: 4676 - 14/09/2025 09:09:26 2636053 Link

Very little crossover with the bigballers but might be stretching Con at this stage with week on week tough games? BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3717 - 14/09/2025 10:18:44 2636061 Link

The other 2 are hard to call. For the big clash, I think Na Fianna will prevail. Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 4690 - 14/09/2025 19:42:17 2636135 Link
Na Fianna, Crokes, Lucan. The other one might be interesting. Vinnies limited enough but good players in every line and they won't fear Boden. Ran Na Fianna to extra time same stage last year. Won't win championship but whoever beats them will need use of ice baths! BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3717 - 14/09/2025 22:05:09 2636172 Link
Some terrific hurling over the weekend with Vincents v Boden and Na Fianna v Cuala both going to Extra time - Boden & Na Fianna getting through. Crokes looked strong against Barrog. Didnt get to see the Lucan win. Open draw for semi finals I think. bad.monkey (USA) - Posts: 4676 - 28/09/2025 20:46:53 2637733 Link

I wouldn't write them off in a final either tbh. They are motoring along nicely. But the other semi final - wow - gonna be a humdinger....

No luck that fella. bad.monkey (USA) - Posts: 4676 - 29/09/2025 12:12:04 2637795 Link

Na Fianna at 7/4 to beat Crokes is bet of the year. Sell the house, fill your boots. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3717 - 12/10/2025 09:28:13 2639424 Link
Ah.... BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3717 - 12/10/2025 20:28:49 2639576 Link
Can't see anything other than comfortable win for Na Fianna in f8nal. Lúcán are much improved and have a solid 1 - 9 backboned by Chris Crummy and Bellew. Can't see that holding NF fowards for 60 minutes. Real weakness is inside line. Paul C is tough as nails but not among top ten fowards in county. They don't present enough of a goal threat and hard to see them posting 1 -26+ they will need. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3717 - 13/10/2025 20:48:11 2639846 Link

Replying To ExiledInWex: "How were Na Fianna 7/4? That a joke?" No idea. Crokes were favourites from start of championship and oddsmakers too lazy to actually think about it. As were most punters obviously! Crokes entire game plan seemed to be to restrict the NF goal threat and hope for a Hail Mary from Hayes or Considine. Both went off before the end and they never really looked liked scoring a goal. Once dam broke there was no coming back. Looking at likely contenders for AI I would give NF a reasonable chance of retaining it. On opposite side of Leinster draw to Kilkenny and Offaly winners. I see Sars looking good to retain Cork despite my being assured by Cork people (not Sars ones) that Sars won a soft county last year and that a Dublin team would never beat a proper Cork side like the Glen,,,, I'll leave that one there.

I think you are right about the final Barney - but Lucan have been ticking along nicely and they might just cause a massive upset - in this year of club upsets....
