Are the Well/Kilmallock really that far ahead of the likes of Kiladangan or Clonlara? I doubt it.
Nap obviously a bit ahead.
Limerick club hurling from teams below the top 4 has improved but still very average.
Or he might not.

Fethard. @Gman will be very proud of his contribution today. Was an impact sub on the Leinster minor winning team as a 16 year old in 2019. Main man on the U20 team in 2022/23. He comes from good stock though. Think he’s related to Paul Carley who won a Leinster title in 2004 and his grandfather played for Wexford as well. He had a brother and cousin on the U20 team with him last year.

There’s time yet.
Next he has to try only one upfront.
1B hurling. They’ve beaten Offaly so they won’t be hurling 2A next year anyway. They won’t be top 7 and 1A though.
I’d say everyone who’s hurling division 1 this year will be at least 1B next season seeing as groups of 6 change to 7. It’ll be Carlow and Laois coming up to 1B for next season I presume.
Could anyone do the needful?
Odd that a Limerick ref was allowed to do this.
Waterford need to win again KK to stay up.
Probably makes sense for us to throw the last game to avoid the league semifinals.
You think there’s some grand conspiracy to weaken Galway for a fucking league game 
I’ll tell what the conspiracy is, how Johnny Murphy ever got to be an intercounty ref.

Ha i dont think so pal but i was annoyed with them 2 lemons giving us no credit when we drew with Clare 2 weeks ago. They listed out players that Clare were missing and no mention of players we were missing.

If Keith Rossiter wins a Leinster title and reaches an All-Ireland semi-final at some stage over the next 3 years then he’ll have done a great job. Be great for the group of lads born between 1991-1995 to win that 2nd Leinster that their efforts have deserved over the years. A league would be fabulous too. Without a league title since 1973.

Galway’s Twelve Apostles survive Dublin test as Henry Shefflin lashes out at referee

Both managers were unhappy with Limerick referee Johnny Murphy after he dished out four red cards and 11 yellows during a well-contested but far from dirty Allianz League encounter at Pearse Stadium.
Galway finished with just a dozen players on the pitch and now will be without skipper Conor Whelan and previous captain Daithi Burke for their showdown with All-Ireland champions Limerick in Pearse Stadium next Saturday after both received straight red cards in the closing stage of a bizarre clash.
Galway corner-back Jack Grealish got his marching orders after 40 minutes for a second yellow and Dublin lost Ronan Hayes seven minutes later after also picking up a second booking.
It was a much improved Dublin display, but Galway’s 2017 All-Ireland winning manager Michéal Donoghue knows his side will need to be sharper in attack heading into the championship after they were outscored by 0-10 to 0-1 in the final quarter.
But the wholesale cards dished out by referee Murphy dominated this contest, with neither management happy with his display. Galway manager Henry Shefflin was particularly displeased with the treatment dished out to his captain Whelan.
“I saw Daithi’s one, it was a little bit late but I had thought it was more shoulder-to-shoulder so that one I’m not quite sure on it, will need to see it back. I didn’t see Whelan’s red card but he is an abrasive player, he is a top player and he probably doesn’t get the protection he requires.

“I didn’t see the incident but in the first 45-50 minutes, where was the protection for the forward? The referees are here to help the game but now we are going to be talking about the referee today, the best of referees we don’t talk about and unfortunately that is not the case today for both sides.
“If I am a spectator, I will want to see a full flowing game of hurling, I don’t want the referee to be the centre of attention but that’s what we are talking about here now,” said Shefflin.
Dublin manager Donoghue was disappointed with the way his side faded and was far from happy with referee Murphy.
“It was a funny game. I thought we started well, right in it until half-time,” said Donoghue. “Came out after half-time, did a lot right for about 10 minutes but then the last 20 minutes, from my own perspective, you’d be disappointed as I felt the game was there for us and we let it slip away. We did a lot positive.
“The sending-offs and the refereeing, some of the decisions, I think were questionable. When the crowd started getting involved I felt his mindset changed as well. Some of the decisions … look, I’m not going to comment on it.
“They got back into the game and when you give them opportunities they nailed them. The disappointing thing was we created a few chances but didn’t take them.”
Galway, who have now used 30 players in this campaign with seasoned campaigners Joseph Cooney, Cathal Mannion and Brian Concannon back for their first action in this one, led by 1-10 to 1-8 at the break, having played against the breeze.
Conor Cooney, who produced an exhibition of free-taking, landing all 10 efforts as well as one from play, led the way for the Tribesmen, with Cian O’Sullivan and Donal Burke posing the biggest threat for Dublin.
Conor Cooney set up Whelan for Galway’s goal after 17 minutes to lead by 1-5 to 0-4, but a black card to Galway full-back Fintan Burke when he pulled down Diarmuid Ó Dúlaing after 31 minutes gave Dublin a lifeline.
Burke drilled home the resultant penalty as Dublin hit the front for the first time in the game as they outscored Galway by 1-4 to 0-3 while they had the extra man, but Joseph Cooney and Gavin Lee helped Galway regain the initiative to lead by two at the break.
Burke and O’Sullivan pointed to level after the break and the sides then exchanged points four times to leave them level at 1-14 apiece going into the final quarter, but by then both sides were down to 14.
Galway lost corner-back Grealish to a second yellow card after 45 minutes, while Dublin also went down to 14 when Hayes was also sent off for a second booking after 52 minutes.
Galway took over and hit 10 points in a row, seven of them from Conor Cooney, to seal the win which ensures they will be in the top flight next season.
Galway: C Cooney 0-11 (0-10 frees), T Monaghan 0-4, C Whelan 1-0, J Cooney 0-3, G Lee 0-2, D Burke 0-1, C Fahy 0-1, C Mannion 0-1. Dublin: D Burke 1-9 (1-0 pen, 0-6f, 0-2 ‘65s), C O’Sullivan 0-3, D Ó Dúlaing 0-1, C Donoghue 0-1, R Hayes 0-1.

Far enough away to be in the middle of heavy block of training with he view to peaking later in the championship, as opposed to gassing out during the munster championship like he done with Tipperary last year & Waterford before that.
