All Ireland Hurling Championship 2022

I’d fancy KK strongly.

Eh nobody actually cares about Darragh Fitzgibbon mate, the Limerick lads are just being wankers.

I was just explaining the actual rule.

What’s new mate?

Sure mate. But that’s not what this discussion about.

The vast majority of people here are not aware of the relevant rule’s nature. I think quite a few of people reading this thread will be glad now to know the relevant rule’s nature.

Does that rule apply in all circumstances regardless of where the person lives currently? If a 14 year olds family moved house to the other side of the county or even to a different county could he still stay playing with the original club once hed played u14 champ?

Clare will win Saturday. By 3-4 points. End of.

Yes, your club is your club. But you also have the option to transfer

Yes.

You can only ever, under rule, have two clubs: your home club (under the criteria laid out) and an adopted club to which you have transferred.

Problems have arisen when a club seeks to make a young player line out with them rather than with a club inside a parish where that young player went to primary school. For Kilkenny GAA, there is a 'ā€˜derogation’ rule, so as to cater for this eventuality. Would seem this rule does not exist so strongly in all counties.

There are complex problems around this issue:

The Firies/Listry case in Kerry underlines the significance of the objection factor.

Is there not such a thing as a native parish declaration??

Is it based on home or in primary school or either?

Is that rubric to do with a ā€˜parent’ rule?

Yeah Clare weren’t beaten in Croker that year either though was my point. 15 years since they’ve been beaten in hurling championship in HQ.

That’s inflation for you.

In fairness, they’ve only played four games at HQ in those 15 years, and two of those were draws.

@Malarkey @Fran @Locke etc…

What do you think of Mullen midfield?

I’m not a fan. It’s classic Cody robbing Peter to pay Paul stuff that we’ve seen for the bones of a decade. I think he’s a natural half forward.

I haven’t quite figured Mullen out yet, he looks like someone who could play anywhere across the half forward line or even full forward. We are badly in need of a Michael Fennelly / Derek Lyng type of midfielder but I don’t think he fits that bill. @Malarkey will know him better than most of us I’d suspect

His workrate is phenomenal, that’s exactly what you want from midfielder. I think he has done exceptional in the role.
