Replying To galway19:  "Well there will be no one feeling sorry for them dropping into relegation anyway after their carry on two weeks ago. They tried to rough up Oranmore and then started a brawl near the end of the game. Interesting enough they didn't dare try the hard man stuff against Sarsfields"
Only one team will get relegated, and it probably won't be Cappy.

They probably won't get relegated but they were easily beaten by Oranmore, couldn't beat Tommy Larkins and couldn't get near a Sarsfields side missing four of the best six players. They deserve to be scrapping it out with Kilconieron, Moycullen/Gort and Ardrahan in the relegation playoffs.

Moycullen brat gort by 5 points..(1-19 to 1-14(…
The halftime score was 1-12 to 0--7 to gort..so gort only scored 2 points in the second half..gort were missing Greg lally but moycullen were missing fionn mcdonagh and diarmuid davaren had to go off at halftime..that's moycullen sade..

This St Thomas' full back line is going to get absolutely filleted by one of the big hitters if they don't get Fintan back for the knockouts. Jason Rabbitte has destroyed them in the first half and he is operating nearly as a one man forward line for Athenry. A much better forward line in Loughrea, Clarinbridge, Turlough or Sarsfields will open them up at their ease.

Thomas' had to go to the emergency option to bring Fintan on in the second half to stifle Jason Rabbitte. Eanna Burke very good but on today's evidence St Thomas' haven't improved on last year, it was more that they had played two poor teams in Gort and Moycullen.

Cathal Mannion scored 18 points today. This man is unbelievable.

Craughwell playing some beautiful hurling here in first half against Loughrea. Ciaran Leen and Adrian Prendergast the standouts in attack.

Three posts in a row having a dig at Cappy. Sounds like you've been waiting for them to slip, so you can get your shot at them.
For a club who don't have the numbers underage that many others have, they've been remarkably consistent for the past 7 years. They weren't long up from intermediate before that, but proved themselves to be on the top bracket of senior clubs for a number of years. They're an example for many clubs.
