Katsar send your best. Mind you. Galway teams should have handicap + given our history... BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3186 - 01/12/2024 02:33:57 2581810 Link

Should be a great game I might go to it. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 13999 - 01/12/2024 07:28:00 2581811 Link

Should be a great game I might go to it." 12/15 that started for Loughrea Vs cappy represented Galway in all Ireland finals in minor or u21/20. Do people think Loughrea are some sort of soft touches? I expect them to give a right good go of it against na Fianna (who are a very good team) but definitely not unbeatable. BigBàsMan (Galway) - Posts: 40 - 01/12/2024 09:16:46 2581818 Link

From the last 10 All-Irelands it's 2 apiece. ;) I fancy Na Fianna to beat Loughrea and I think they could win fairly well. They have recent experience of big games in Croke Park. Loughrea are capable of some very good stuff if they get to play their game, but I think Na Fianna will control the majority of it. Of course I could be very wrong, but that's my reading of it.

Your lads got a big monkey off their back finally winning Galway, and they might kick on from that! Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 13999 - 01/12/2024 11:52:52 2581828 Link

Quite the opposite I said all the teams left will be hard beat! Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 13999 - 01/12/2024 11:54:01 2581829 Link
Replying To Fionn: "Maybe so, but I can't see anyone stopping Ballygunner tbh." Lads have been saying that every year the last few years. But it's hard to win an AI, you have to be at the top of your game for several games in a row. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 13999 - 01/12/2024 11:56:37 2581830 Link
Na Fianna are good. Hopefully Ó Ceallacháin can bring that into county team. Pity Rushie is not 6 years younger! Monster of a man. Arguably best player ever to wear the sky blue. Off for pint now :-) BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3186 - 01/12/2024 12:35:15 2581835 Link
It's hilarious watching Dublin lads hurl.....they just hit the ball up in the air garryown style and hope it goes over the bar!! They hold the hurl short as if it was a table tennis bat and just scoop it to eachother! Jez Kilcormac/K tatics were brutal....leaving D.Burke completely unmarked to score at will (I would have scored those easy points) In reality Kilcormac had only one man to score AS katser (Galway) - Posts: 2481 - 01/12/2024 13:00:13 2581837 Link

Replying To CorkLiamMcCarthy24: "Ballygunner will dust of the Sars in second half." Mmmm. How is that going? Tired team. Were lucky to beat Doon. Wide open now. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3186 - 01/12/2024 16:33:35 2581863 Link
Replying To CorkLiamMcCarthy24: "Ballygunner will dust of the Sars in second half." Really??? Great display by SARS and Shane O' Regan. Fighting display by Cork champions' Ryanteam (Cork) - Posts: 399 - 01/12/2024 16:38:33 2581865 Link
SARS were hammered by ballygunner last year, beaten in Cork county final by divisional team Imokilly, but dug deep and scrapped for every ball. Great win! Ryanteam (Cork) - Posts: 399 - 01/12/2024 16:42:36 2581868 Link
Wide open all to play for BigBàsMan (Galway) - Posts: 40 - 01/12/2024 16:43:50 2581869 Link
Replying To Viking66: "Lads have been saying that every year the last few years. But it's hard to win an AI, you have to be at the top of your game for several games in a row." Well, well, well... Many congrats to the Sars. Fully deserved victory and their 1st ever Munster Senior Hurling Club Championship Title. Sarsfields were excellent throughout.

Replying To Fionn: "Maybe so, but I can't see anyone stopping Ballygunner tbh." When people start talking like that, you can rest assured that ballygunner will be toppled! Hope SARS go all the way! Ryanteam (Cork) - Posts: 399 - 01/12/2024 16:48:02 2581871 Link
