2023 Club Championships

Good game.

Very small crowd there.

[StoneCold]

Not a pairing for the neutrals but I think the Old Stand is open

[endakenny]

Ya neither club would capture the public support.

Kiladangan prob should be ahead.

Very small crowd there.

The GAA should have a look at the venues being used in some counties if the club game is going to continue being the showcase for the sport for more months of the season. There’s actually probably a grand enough attendance in Thurles, hard to judge how many are in the Old Stand, but the crowd looks lost in the ground and in fairness it does detract from the spectacle on tv. Similar case yesterday with the Doon - NaP game being played in front of acres of concrete and faded seats. Only really an issue in a few counties, but of course those are the ones that will have high profile club championships. Cork actually have a decent alternative with PUR but final being played in PUC anyways.

Looks like a very small crowd in thurles but there still isn’t a venue big enough to hold it with the possible exception of nenagh

Well and Kilmallock is mouth watering. I might head in.

Kilmallock far more evenly balanced, but the Well have three of the best hurlers in the World. They’ll need the Lynchy-Gillane axis to do untold. And sure we know well they can.

Hard to know where either side are really at, lot of shadow boxing so far.

The Well have only been doing just enough. Narrow losses to Kilmallock and Doon and a narrow win over Ahane. Wouldn’t inspire confidence.
Kilmallock have the form in the book, and have shown consistency over the years in a way the Well certainlty have not. But you’d reckon if the three Well boys really wanted this, and turn it on, then they could carry them through.
Kilmallocks fullback line is a potential achilles heal.
Will Costello drop back for Gillane? But if they put him full it means a total rejig. If not is it Gillane vs Joy. He’ll clean anyone I suppose if he really wants. Only a matter of trying to cut the supply and limit the damage.

I’ll give a tentative nod to the Well.

I’ll call that a TFK exclusive

[PhattPike]

Ya it’s been a long time since I was in Nenagh and I’d say it is one of those grounds that has no real capacity? Clonmel maybe be similar size but there would be war probably bringing a game like this down there. But for instance the semi final yesterday in Limerick could well have been played in Kilmallock.

Crucial goal for the 'dangan there, good stuff this.

[StoneCold]

Kiladangan just can’t push on after getting to level.

In my time Tipp played league games in Carrick, Clonmel, Cloughjordan and most recently Nenagh

Billy

[PhattPike]

A man I thought would be a superstar after that U20 final in Limerick all those years ago, signs lately he is beginning to push on?

He’s doing well to be walking tbf

[StoneCold]

It’s Billy Seymour he was talking about

[carryharry]

Great game

[PhattPike]

Dochreidte!

[PhattPike]

You wanted the ref to play a few more seconds there.

Ahhh. Shoulda said. There’s really only one Billy that matters

[StoneCold]

A great game. Kiladangan got a few worldie scores in the second half whereas Sars scores seemed to come easier.

[Watchthepost]

1 score in the “mouth watering” Derry semi final after 20 minutes. That’s Ulster football for you

[peddlerscross]

I’ll give full report on Tipp Finals later.

What a game in Owenbeg. Glen lead 0-01 to 0-00 after nearly 25 minutes.

Reminiscent of Ali v Frazer.
