Offaly were 1/50 to beat London today and lost by 14 points …. Biggest betting shock in many a year. OpenStand (Limerick) - Posts: 717 - 11/05/2024 15:22:08 2544064 Link

Carlow drawing with kilkenny is the new front runner. Unlikely to be topped for some time. Galway9801 (Galway) - Posts: 1942 - 12/05/2024 10:13:25 2544202 Link
Replying To Galway9801: "Carlow drawing with kilkenny is the new front runner. Unlikely to be topped for some time." What is it with Leinster championship? Antrim beat Wexford, then Wexford trounce Galway. Kilkenny drawing with Carlow has to be the most unlikely result for years. Ryanteam (Cork) - Posts: 364 - 12/05/2024 10:29:08 2544205 Link
Replying To Whestofthewest: "fermanagh beating wicklow by 16, joke of a competition" Was bet of day in fairness - 2/5. Oddsmakers obviously not watching! BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3064 - 12/05/2024 10:33:06 2544206 Link
Replying To Galway9801: "Carlow drawing with kilkenny is the new front runner. Unlikely to be topped for some time." I can't think of another similar result in hurling, either in my own lifetime or historically. I suppose Antrim beating Offaly in 1989 was shock but Antrim were decent enough back then. Ironically, similar to Westmeath beating Wexford last year, Carlow still most likely to be relegated. Antrim are pretty poor but are a different beast in Belfast as we know.

Antrim and Galway playing in the Leinster Championship, there's the problem right there, joke calling it a Leinster Championship.

I've been following gaelic games since 98 and Fermanagh beating armagh in 04 was the biggest shock of my lifetime in either code. Carlow definitely topped it tho.

Replying To Tirchonaill1: "Antrim and Galway playing in the Leinster Championship, there's the problem right there, joke calling it a Leinster Championship." Should be the Northern Championship. An amalgamation of Leinster, Connacht and Ulster. Football then could have a Southern Championship, an amalgamation of Connacht, Munster and Leinster. Job done! ;-) legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 8244 - 12/05/2024 13:51:03 2544252 Link
Replying To Galway9801: "I've been following gaelic games since 98 and Fermanagh beating armagh in 04 was the biggest shock of my lifetime in either code. Carlow definitely topped it tho." That was a great win. An underrated Fermanagh team beating a great Armagh team that bounced back to win Ulster in 2005. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7620 - 12/05/2024 13:52:37 2544253 Link
Carlow drawing with Kilkenny has to be the biggest shock in GAA history, at senior level. We once beat a Christy Ring-led Cork in the league, but yesterday was on another level. This is a premier competition. It's the championship. And it's not like Kilkenny weren't trying. Can't be compared to something like the Tailteann Cup, where about half the teams don't seem especially interested. With all due respect to those who are.

A great result for Carlow! arock (Dublin) - Posts: 4938 - 12/05/2024 14:17:06 2544264 Link
Replying To GreenandRed: "That was a great win. An underrated Fermanagh team beating a great Armagh team that bounced back to win Ulster in 2005." Yup,, beforehand brolly said it would be impossible for Fermanagh to win and few disagreed. Your lot beat much fancied tyrone that same day, who were defending champions and pretty much joint favourites with armagh to win the all Ireland. Marty Morrissey called it seismic Saturday lol.

Replying To GreenandRed: "That was a great win. An underrated Fermanagh team beating a great Armagh team that bounced back to win Ulster in 2005." Fermanagh were good though. Weren't that huge a price either. Was certainly a shock and surprise but nowhere near as yesterday, Truly no comparison other than maybe Waterford beating Kerry in football in 50s I think?

What about Kerry beating Waterford in the hurling in the early 90s? Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 13652 - 12/05/2024 16:27:01 2544298 Link
Replying To Viking66: "What about Kerry beating Waterford in the hurling in the early 90s?" Waterford were dreadful back then. I can recall them being in Division III at one stage. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3064 - 12/05/2024 16:37:52 2544300 Link
Clare beating Kerry in 92 was a huge upset. centrefield99 (Galway) - Posts: 136 - 12/05/2024 20:05:28 2544357 Link
Replying To centrefield99: "Clare beating Kerry in 92 was a huge upset." Yes, a shock - but not as big as this. Kerry hadn't been to All-Ireland final since 1986. And were going through a bad period. They had a poor league campaign in 1991-92, while Clare won promotion to Division One. In this case, Kilkenny were in an All Ireland final last year, and played in the NHL Division One final, last month. Carlow have just been promoted from the Joe McDonagh.
