I think Laois will beat Offaly tbh

That's what I was thinking too. OTB podcast has it that the winner of our side of the draw QF, us or Laois/Offaly or Clare/Limerick, will play Leinster champions, but I've not seen that said anywhere officially.

I think Munster and Leinster Final repeat pairings are not allowed in the All Ireland Semi-finals and the Leinster champions cannot meet the Munster Champions in the semi Final either.

They absolutely could. There's not a whole lot between them but Offaly are on the cusp of something so would have a slight fancy for them.

I think this is the only draw that ensures that Provincial finalists or Provincial winners cant meet again until the final Yellow (Wexford) - Posts: 585 - 29/05/2024 12:26:53 2548122 Link 0 |
That's it. But for talks sake if ourselves and Cork make the semi finals then there will be a draw to see who plays who, as I understand it. The only way there won't be a draw is if 1 or both losing provincial finalists make the semi final.

It won't be a made up rule. There will be a draw for the AISFs if it's needed.

It wouldn't be a shock to me if Offaly won. The game will take on a life of its own between those 2. I just think Laois have some better more experienced players right now.

Think he is good enough to be in our 26, maybe he's training with seniors already.

What Im saying Viking is there is no need for a draw for an AISF The only clause is that provincial winners or finalists cant meet til the final. What Im saying if (and I know I am being very optimistic here) the last four are Kilkenny, Limerick, Cork, Wexford. Kilkenny and Limerick cant face each other as the winners (if that happens) they might suddenly have a "draw" to fix the semis to the way they like to keep Munster teams apart. Im saying we need to know what circumstances warrant a draw - befor e we play - coz I dont see any. You obviously do Yellow (Wexford) - Posts: 585 - 29/05/2024 13:08:53 2548143 Link 0 |
I think it will be a draw if us and Cork go through too. A lot of hurling to be played between now and then though. Would love the Dubs to win Leinster myself Cork and Kilkenny would be some battle in a quarter final

Or Laois/Offaly v Kilkenny? Or if Laois beat Offaly and Cork, and Kilkenny win Leinster, then we get another Laois v Dublin game in the AI series.

I think there is no chance Cork will lose to Laois or Offaly to be honest

Credit to Wexford and the Wexford support on Sunday. The team gave it their all but Kilkenny cuteness and ability to manufacture frees (or dive....call it as you wish) got them over the line. StoreysTash (Wexford) - Posts: 1783 - 29/05/2024 15:02:37 2548174 Link 0 |
None whatsoever, if anyone is getting caught its us

Agree its unlikely but you never know!

Yeah, I agree here, Cody was a bit theatrical and made it look like Jippo had pulled him down by the back of his collar or had else squeezed the hurl around his neck, neither of which had actually happened Tom Phelan did his best Swan Lake impression in the first half after a foul by Conor Foley down in the corner ElGranSenor (Wexford) - Posts: 349 - 29/05/2024 16:28:21 2548197 Link 0 |
