Will Sars be fancied again this year Kev…who are the main contenders

84

Always a dodgy year for a young team after winning a county, but i would say its them and Newtown. The Glen seem to be lacking that little bit but everyone else is tipping them to go close, i thought they might but i saw them against Newtown and they are way off.
Ballinhassig and Erins Own are just behind Newtown and Sars, with Killeagh being the dark horses, Joe Dean is on fire and they have a young team with plenty hurling.
I’m friends with a few Sars people including their fitness coach and he just can’t hold them back, their Junior A team have been doing wreck in a very competitive division and i expect they’ll go Intermediate soon enough as well. They just have buckets of hurlers and a great set up. They have massive passion as well, and in Bertie Og they have the best man manager i’ve ever seen.

85

How are Carrigtwohill holding up in senior, we had a great tussle with them in the munster intermediate a couple of years ago…They were fairly strong down the middle of the team

86

Struggled badly last year in championship and league. Lost 13 games out of 14 in league. But after going up they had a few injuries. Niall Mac was never that brilliant for them until 2 years ago, but he is superb nowadays for them, he missed most of last year. They scraped through the relegation battle. Lost to an average Rockies team this year, but if they hang in there they have good underage coming through in both codes and a few county players at every age down along the line. Growing population down there.
If they avoid relegation this year they’ll do well.

87

I’m going for Sars (Senior) Douglas (Premier Intermediate) and Valley Rovers (Intermediate) this year.

88

don’t know how they played MBB…here’s the match report…

[B]NA FIANNA 1-14 PARNELLS 1-10

David Quinn had a club SFC debut to rememeber as his 1-3 helped Na Fianna to victory in this Evening Herald Dublin SFC first round clash at Parnell Park on Thursday night.
Quinn was a key part of an economical Na Fianna forward division who made the most of their possession as Parnells, with Philip Keogh impressing, held the upperhand at midfield.
Points from Brian Courtney, Quinn (two), Ciarn Duignan and Senan Connell underlined before the three-quarter mark had Na Fianna in charge but 12 minutes from time Stephen Cluxton ambled up from his goalkeeping berth to clinically dispatch a penalty to the net to leave just a point in it - 1-10 to 1-9.
But the Mobhi men reacted again with points from Connell, Duignan (two) and Brian Downes. Parnells battled to the finish with Mark Fitzpatrick driving forward non-stop but in Alan Behan were met by a full-back in form.
SCORERS - Na Fianna: D Quinn 1-3, C Duignan 0-5 (0-2f), B Courtney, B Downes, S Connell 0-2 each. Parnells: S Cluxton 1-0 (1-0 pen), J Peyton (0-2f), M Whelan (0-2f) 0-3 each, N Collins 0-2, G Collins, C Parkinson 0-1 each.
NA FIANNA - C Kelleher; J Harte, A Behan, F Aughney; R Kinsella, J Cooper, K Gormley; P Quinn, N McDermott; S Connell, C Duignan, B Courtney; B Downes, S Cloherty, D Quinn. Subs: R OHagan for Gormley (52); J Dolan for McDermott (55).
PARNELLS - S Cluxton; B Byrne, D Myler, M Keena; C OReilly, M Fitzpatrick, E Browne; P Keogh, D Rooney; G Collins, C Parkinson, J Collins; J Peyton, M Whelan, N Collins. Subs: C Quinn for OReilly (inj, 19); K McGuckian for G Collins (34); J Killoran for Whelan (34); L Browne for Byrne (42).
REF - P Fitzsimons (Liffey Gaels).[/B]

Just back from it there. No Stephen Kelly didn’t tog, had a hand injury apparently ( :smiley: :guns: ).

NCW won 0-12 to 0-10 against Claughan.Lively enough 2nd half and Claughan put up a better performance that I had expected them to, could have easily won the game if they hadn’t kicked so many wides.

Results for this weekends Senior Football Championship Action

Group 1

Monaleen 0-7 Drom/Broadford 1-15
Fr Caseys 2-13 St Senans 1-7

Group 2

Ballysteen 1-9 Adare 1-7
Pallasgreen 0-8 St Kierans 0-8
Newcastlewest 0-12 Claughan 0-9

Good wins Drom, Fr Caseys, Ballysteen and Newcastlewest at the weekend. Monaleen had led Drom by 5 points to 2 at half time but Drom blew them off the field in the second half. Fr Casey laid down a marker for the year with a thumping of one of the Championship favourites St Senansm, although Senans were understrenght due to a soccer cup semi final being played at the same time.

In Group 2 there was a big win for new boys Ballysteen over group favourites Adare. Ballysteen played with a gale in the first half and were 0-5 to 0-1 in front at the break. Conor Fitz stuck a goal for Adare just after the break but Ballysteen managed to keep in the front the whole way through and a super save from Conor Ranahan right at the death ensured the win.

Claughan put up a much better than expected fight against Newcastle West and only for wasting so many opportunities in the first half could easily have won the game, but in the end NCW’s fitness and strenght came to the fore and once they got in front Claughan struggled to catch them. To their credit, Claughan never gave up and with a bit more work could be far from the group pushovers they were expected to be.

Kierans and Pallasgreen played out with was by all accounts a thrilling draw in Bruff. This group could turn out to be very entertaining with every team in it fairly evenly matched. There will be a break now for a month or so to allow for intercounty games so it will depend which teams come back the sharper from that.

94

Most of the county have written off DLS as a flash in the pan last year, and we were shocking aginst Mt.Sion the first day, and lucky not to get a right trimming, were just a bad last week against An Rinn, but won.

This week DLS put in the best performance since the Sars game in the munster championship in October. A few lads back from injury and a few niggles cleared up and we really opened up on Ballyduff Upper (Co. Champions 2007) coming out on the good side of a 3-24 - 1-18 scoreline. Moran, Flynn, Phelan and Mullane were a class above all others.

97

We have 4 points from 2 games now but havent beaten much yet,you wouldnt make a good team out of the pick of Conahy and Graignamanagh,at the same time we are moving well and things look to be improving,id be hopeful eneogh that this is the Year that we might make a go at getting to a final in this anyway,a final would be great progress considering we have never contested one in 21 Years at this grade.Winning it would be heaven though,i could die any time after that…
