Wexford Club Hurling 2026 - 2 Like(s)
Replying To Pikeman96: "Glynn-Barntown have played their two senior hurling matches so far this year in Bellefield & O'Kennedy Park - generally regarded as the other two main pitches for club championships, and not ones that clubs generally complain about.
Seems they're unacceptable to you, though. So just out of curiosity - assuming you accept it's not feasible for any clubs to have all its matches fixed for Wexford Park, which other venues would you deem suitable for Glynn-Barntown?" Ah lads. Anyone who thinks Johnny boi is serious needs to brush up on their forum fishing techniques..

The club leagues will be wrapped up this weekend and there are a few interesting fixtures.
In Div 1, Four Masters and Dungloe look best placed to finish in the top 2. But if they slip up, Eunans, Termon or Naomh Conaill could capitalise.
At the bottom, St. Michaels have to beat Gaoth Dobhair at the Bridge to avoid automatic relegation. If they do, Gaoth Dobhair are relegated. But if Gaoth Dobhair can win, they're guaranteed safety should Eunans beat Aodh Ruadh.
In Div2, Naomh Columba are already promoted. Ardara, Muff and Malin will be fighting it out for the second automatic promotion place. All have tricky games though, so it will go down to the wire. At the bottom, Bundoran are already gone. Fanad need a win over Carndonagh to escape the trap door, and Milford aren't safe yet either, a tricky game with CCF for them to navigate.
In Div 3, LG Gaels and Naomh Bríd are up, with Naomh Ultan awaiting developments from Div 2 to see who they'll play in the playoff.

Replying To Greengrass: "Dublin brought in a basketball coach several years ago. They became really good at screening opposing defenders to free up their forwards. It was illegal but very effective. Watch Brian Fenton's screen which freed up Eoin Murchan to score his goal at the start of the second half of the 2019 All Ireland final replay." I think you need to look at that again, the second Kerry midfielder blocks Fenton at the throw up giving Moran an easy opportunity to catch the ball, bizarrely Moran opts to punch the ball forward and Murchan gathers it at pace with a despairing Moran losing ground in the chase. The other Kerry midfielder is still engaged with Fenton but it was the Kerry man who initiated the block to give Moran an easy possession which he didn't take.

Also full house Croke Park for league game under lights v Tyrone in early 2007.
Dublin crowds only began to fall off towards end of six in a row, Even Mayo supporters would tire of that after a while...

Replying To tirawleybaron: "All star selectors only watch semis and final
1. All Ireland winning keeper - not Rory Beggan
2. Losing finalist corner back
3. Winners full back
4. closest losing semi finalists corner back
5. Winners wing back
6. Winner Centre back
7. Losing finalist Half back
8. Used to be utility player - but now, due to kick outs, has to be a proper midfielder - likely form non semi finalist
9. Winners midfielder
10. FF player who just didn't make ff positions
11. Utility player - player out of position to get him in the team
12. Best half forward from Champions
13. Corner forward from champions
14. Best ff from losing finalist
15. Best corner forward from losing semi finalist who doesn't already have a player on team
All Ireland champions = 7 - depending on winning margin
All Ireland R-up = 4
Best losing semi finalist = 2
Other losing semi finalist = 1
Token non semi finalist = 1" Westmeath should get at least one for winning a rare and unexpected Leinster title success.

Finally the county board have started a draw people can get behind. A weekly draw at five quid an entry with a minimum jackpot guaranteed and weekly prizes outside of the jackpot. Well done on finally coming up with something that doesn't demand a huge upfront entry fee.

Replying To Seniorleague: "I said theres pressure on them but this craic of it being a total embarrassment if they lose and theyll win the final by 12-16 points is just pointless nonsense from you." If Kerry play the version of the Mayo defence that showed up against Meath or the version of Louth that showed up the first game against Dublin, you're talking about at least 16 points tbh.

Replying To legendzxix: "Dublin coming to Killarney in Round 2B would have been pressure on Kerry. Dublin's return to home league ground form against Donegal and Galway removes any pressure on Kerry. It is clearly a 50-50 game now. No two ways about it.
I wouldn't pay any attention to LK. There is more pressure on Dublin for understandable reasons." Yeah the home ground is an advantage.
Maybe Kerry management can bring in some ex-players like Brendan O'Sullivan or Aidan O'Mahony to teach the lads how they used to make up the advantage gap. Not many inter-county squads would have guys like that they can call on for advice.

Louth's win in the QF was unbelievable - it shouldn't be possible under the new rules.
Under the old rules it was possible by getting everyone behind the ball and play on the break.
64 minutes with a man down meant that when they went into the opponents half it was 10 v 11 (plus keeper). When defending it was 10 (plus keeper) v 11.
They scored 26 points in these conditions. Remarkable.
That's why I think they'll beat Mayo.

Replying To Viking66: "Think all of us over East are delighted for you, so its probably a toss up between the Cork lads and Loughrea lads." You are right, we are sickened, but we are sickened at our own team and the same old failings that continue to dog us. Have nothing but admiration for this Galway team and wish them all the best for the final.

Replying To tirawleybaron: "Thats not entirely true.
Pleant of lost semis over the years
1985 - drew and lost relay to Dublin
1988 - lost to Meath
1989 - won semi
1992 - lost to Donegal
1993 - hammered by Cork
1996 - beat Kerry
1997 - beat Offally
1999 - lost to Cork
2004 - beat Fermanagh in replay
2006 - beat Dublin
2011 - lost to Kerry
2012 - beat Dublin
2013 - beat Tyrone
2014 - lost to Kerry in extra time in Replay
2015 - lost to Dublin in Replay
2016 - Beat Tipp
2017 - Beat Kerry in Replay
2020 - Hammered Tipp
2021 - Beat Dublin in extra time
So thats won 10, drew 5, lost 8
its slightly above average -
Its because the finals are so bad, people think that the semi results are great." Some of ye really have too
Much time on ur hands - if u want to be pedantic I said 20
Or so years which is from
2006 according to your response that's 7 wins out
Of 10.
Anyway my overall point because most of ye are giving out about how the pundits are all picking Louth was I fancy mayo to win this one as ye have the experience of being in and winning semi finals even for the younger cohort they'd be used of watching mayo win big games etc
Good luck

Replying To BarneyGrant: "Croke Park has been Dublin's home league venue since the league began in the 1920s. With the exception of a short sojourn in Parnell for about 10/11 years in my reckoning." I was definitely at a league match in Parnell between Mayo and Dublin in 2005 - the dubs weren't to hot then and all the kids wanted Ciaran McDonalds autograph.
They played again there in 2007 so there was a decent spell at Parnell as the Dubs had lost their lustre in those days

Definitely more pressure on kerry. To lose to this Dublin team who nearly got beaten by wicklow 2 months ago would be devastating.
They have everyone now and a strong subs bench so no excuses.
Can't call the other one. Louth have the better form line and nearly a more rounded team and squad depth on paper. But mayo when they get momentum are hard to stop. Their full forward line could make hay too.
Kerry by 5 and mayo by 2

Home league ground since 2011 or 1920 has little bearing on the quality of teams and what they've done in championship over the last year. Kerry are strong favourites and you can have no qualms about that. It's the logical position based on all the evidence we've seen.

It may be a 50:50 game but no one expected Dublin to reach this point of the championship at the start of the year. This is bonus territory for the Dubs but that's not to say they won't go for it, which they will of course. As for Kerry, failure at this point would be unthinkable. The pressure is all Kerry IMO. Either way, I hope for a titanic battle on Sunday. I still expect Kerry to win (by 5 or more).
