These drones are the real deal.
And the little bit of ceili at the end was class.

For sure. They gave Slaughtneil a right game in Ulster the one time they did come out.
Wee Martin and the old brigade wouldnât be slow to show them all their medals from the 1980âs.
Donegal is hard to win.

Those games will each have three and a half months build up leading up to that late September Friday night in Healy Park or that Saturday afternoon in Pomeroy.
Back in the day youâd have particular dates etched into your mind and youâd think about them all winter and spring. People in Dublin and Meath had âJune 15thâ imprinted on their minds for seven months in 1997, Derry and Down had âMay 29thâ burned into their minds for a full year (in Downâs case) leading into 1994 (Ulster ran the same draw two years in a row then).
There was no warm up act then. It was straight into the main event. Like a heavyweight title fight of old.
In the same way, the dates of those of matches will be etched in stone in the mind of everybody in Tyrone GAA for the whole summer. âWill Carmen take down Dromore on the 27th of September?â âWhat have the Malachyâs got up their sleeves for the 29th of September?â
The way it should be.

no such delays for the kerry senior hurling championship
starts this Friday night with final on the August weekend
nice and tidy for the kerry county board, have the hurling fucked out of the way while Kerry are still in the all ireland football championship - clear run at the club football championships then when Kerry are out of the football and no club hurling in the way
Ah jaysus
A bit misleading in that they may only have 13 senior players but they do have a junior hurling team too. Surely they could pull a few from that and field. Caught between being too strong for intermediate and not good enough for senior.
Exactly. Field and be fucked. You might surprise yourself. Its only fucking Carlow.

Looking forward to a championship preview from @Aertel220/@ChairmanDan.
I believe MLR have been hit hard with lads hitting to the USA.

10 group matches to eliminate 1 team will be interesting if it does revert to a 5 team senior championship.
Bagenalstown beat Mount Leinster Rangers by 8 points on Wednesday night in the league final.
Iâve heard that alright that thereâs a big Rangers exodus to the US. This is the problem with the split season that the zealots just donât get. Young fellows want to head off during the summer. As was alluded to by the Naomh Brid delegate, if the county championship was getting played off from mid August, theyâd be able to compete at senior but not across the months of June and July with the summer exodus.

MLR missing Chris Nolan and Fiachra Fitzpatrick for the group stages apparently. But my understanding is that theyâll be back for the knockout stages. Hard to look past an MLR v St Mullins final. Even if one of them was the victim of an upset in the round robin then theyâd probably be ranked 1st and 3rd anyway so avoid each other in the semis. Bagenalstown are probably the biggest threat to the top two. They match up quite well against MLR and actually beat them in the 22â semi-final, but donât have a good record against St Mullins. On the flip side, Ballinkillen often trouble St Mullins but donât raise a gallop when faced with MLR. The 2020 final was a classic of that genre. Myshall are a traditional hurling stronghold but havenât won since 2005 and finished 5th the last couple of seasons. They won an U20 A title last year though which will provide them with optimism. Theyâll most likely be looking to catch Ballinkillen to sneak a semi-final spot. Iâd be still leaning towards MLR to win it out but obviously St Mullins have a very strong forward line with the famous Mouse, James Doyle, Conor Kehoe and Paddy Boland.
With Naomh BrĂd seemingly dropping back from senior to intermediate it actually makes that grade very interesting now. 7 teams at intermediate, 4 of them being 2nd teams (MLR, St Mullins, Bagenalstown and Myshall). Kildavin-Clonegal are only in their 2nd season hurling but by all accounts have a good few additions to the side which lost heavily to Craanford in the Leinster junior last year. Theyâll be a real darkhorse for this and are a much needed addition to Carlow hurling considering their proximity to the Wexford border. I saw on Twitter that Carlow Town beat OLG in some Kilkenny league final recently. I presume that was OLGâs 2nd or maybe even 3rd team though? Perhaps more tellingly they were beaten by 9 points by Kildavin in a shield final. Iâd be backing MLRâs 2nd team to win it out if theyâre not decimated by losses to the senior set-up. Although come to think of it, Naomh BrĂd should really be winning it having just stepped down from senior.
Burren Rangers surely win the junior. Theyâve been hurling since 2015 but havenât been able to gain promotion yet. Ambushed by Kildavin-Clonegal in the semi-final last year. They won a Minor A title last year too though so they obviously have plenty of hurlers coming and could be one to watch in the future. @Fagan_ODowdâs beloved Pal donât hurl at all now it seems which is a pity. No team in Tullow either and Eire Ăg could probably give far more to the Carlow Town cause than they currently do.

Oisin Langan and two very affable Carlow chaps giving this great coverage Live on KCLR.
MLR seem to be getting well on top having been 4 down at the break.
Now 3 up.
Last minute goal for Mullins and it ends all square.
That is some load of fantastical scutter 
Like most counties currently do?
