2023 Club Championships

He seemed to be afraid to sub any of the big names

He seemed to be having a great chat with the lineman throughout the second half.

Are the club hurling semi finals before Christmas this year?

Was it two subs he made - brought off Mike Foley and Vince Harington? Before bringing the latter back on.

First week of January I think.

For two of the big club teams, the last two clashes between Nap and BG have been absolute borefests. A huge contrast to the recent BG BS clashes.

The first half of last year’s game was top, top quality. Ballygunner then ground it out in the second half.

Today was a mile off that. There was still a fair bit of physicality, etc but quality was a lot lower.

Fairly sure Cathal King went off for Kearns after his yellow card.

How Downes stayed on the field, god knows.

Downes inability to strike a ball cleanly, for a lad who played inter county, is truly astounding.

I don’t know. They were last year though. A big own goal by FIFA to go up against the best club hurling game of the decade so far.

Ballygunner are very sterile to watch, moreso now than ever

A hard bunch to warm to all things being equal

They have Clonlara in the Munster final who they should take care of. Would St Thomas turn them over?

Doubtful. The Toms lack of depth outside of their first 15 tends to get shown up the further they go

Is it decided who Munster club champions play in semi?

Yes

A Tyrone fella paying to watch a stream of a Kerry intermediate club final - and they try to tell you that the game is all about winning and style doesn’t matter!

Only seeing the result now. 2-13 to 0-18. A heartbreaker for the Clifford’s. Next year will be very tasty with Stacks and KOR down there.

Shur the Nordie boys grew up idolising Kerry football, it’s why it matters so much
