2018 O’Byrne Cup, Walsh Cup, and other lesser Provincial Competitions Thread

Offaly 1-5, KK 0-5 after about 20 mins

Thanks to John Knox KK people:

1-8 to 0-5

Offaly 1-10 KK 1-9 half time

Offaly bow out of the Walsh cup with 1-20 to 3-11 defeat by Kilkenny.

Free kick shoot out in Navan

Meath win shoot out 2.1

Footage here.

Great thing about this is it exposes the gym monkeys who can’t kick a ball

Disappointingly the worst shapers were the best kickers.

The real hurling starts next week

Just saw that free-taking competition in the Walsh Cup there.

Jesus fucking Christ, some of there were awful. Was it nerves? Surely both sides have 5 players that take frees for their clubs/have taken frees in the past?

Nerves !!! The Walsh Cup .

If you think hurling free taking competitions are bad just wait until you see Gaelic football players taking 45s in a shoot-out.

I believe these rules will be changed to conventional penalty competitions at the first available opportunity when the appalling standard of dead ball kicking and stickball free taking has got sufficient exposure and @Little_Lord_Fauntleroy has been taken to hospital after getting an uncontrollable dose of the hiccups laughing at it.

Definitely the tension of the occasion. Lee Chin and Lester Ryan sending little scuttlers bouncing in towards goal before John Walsh shat it with the last one and duffed his pick up. :laughing:

Well guys, how do we see the O’Byrne cup final going on Sunday :smile:

I thought that was sorted over a snowball fight ??

Dublin 1-15, Galway 0-20. Joe Canning on for Galway. Free in to Dublin.

Point in it, into injury time.

Grealish blown up for over carrying, Dublin convert free, all square.

The great one with a sideline to win it. We’re gonna be fucked when he goes
