Offaly U20 champions from tier 2. I hope they go on and win it skirge7 (UK) - Posts: 239 - 17/05/2023 21:39:34 2479328 Link 0 |
Will the McDonagh final go ahead as curtain raiser for the U20 All-Ireland Hurling final? legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7583 - 18/05/2023 11:08:45 2479380 Link 0 |
Might be an idea to put the u20 on a week later in Thurles as a stand alone fixture, based on last night Offaly will bring a massive crowd to it and Cork might be happier going to Thurles rather than Dublin too.

That would make sense. Impressive turn out last night. Final will get big crowd which would be reduced if in Dublin. Great match by the way. Wexford gave it their all and were in with chance up to last minute or two, but Offaly marginally the better. Only sorry I did not invest in my hunch that they were going to well a few weeks ago. They were big odds to win Leinster never mind the All Ireland. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 1919 - 18/05/2023 12:22:20 2479401 Link 0 |
Fair play to Offaly, they brought players and support last night and ground out a victory. ExiledInWex (Dublin) - Posts: 991 - 18/05/2023 12:26:05 2479406 Link 1 |
Two finals can't be played on same weekend as the 20s captain Charlie Mitchell is also on the senior team. Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 1172 - 18/05/2023 17:35:07 2479485 Link 0 |
Actually discussing that rule in another thread. I reckon it's going to have to be changed....either do away with it altogether, or else make it apply equally across the board.

yes but dont forget limerick were beaten by a point last year in the ai final by kilkenny . cathal o neill couldnt play as he was brought on for limerick seniors the previous sunday so either this rule is scrapped or keep to the schedule by the way delighted for offaly

Last year's rule was scrapped. This year it's a non-playing 7-day window between senior and u-20. I think it's 7-days in which a player isn't allowed to play.

Tier 2 counties are given an exemption. Tier 2 counties need any small bit of support they can get. They get very little support as it is.

It should be scrapped. It cannot be claimed to be in interests of the players if the players and their team mates and managers are overwhelmingly opposed to it. What harm is it going to do? These lads are in prime of their lives and ought to be allowed at it. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 1919 - 20/05/2023 12:35:08 2479761 Link 0 |
