Nobody plays a championship match hoping to lose
Some clubs in Laois hang onto a lower level junior team for 3 reasons only.
To keep the Club name (Borris in Ossory, Errill, Kilcotton, etc)
All Ireland Football Tickets
Convention votes
The game itself is a joke, and if they get on a run grand, but for the most part, they’re happy to be bet.

All serious top grade clubs will be aware of championship dates earlier in the year and would have advised players about taking holidays earlier in the year in May/June.

Dont waste your time, the hysterics are off the charts here.
Imagine turning up for a match that you want to lose? Jesus wept 
Rathdowney didnt play the next round of this…
You cant tell me Rathdowney dont have 13 lads under the age of 40 they could use to play that game. They dont want football there. If it works out, grand, if not, its a hindrance and they are happy to see the back of it.
Sure it hardly matters and half of them dead in a few years
Jaysus surely it matters even more then?!
didnt know that
He is also coaching De La Salle in Waterford this year with new manager Ian Flynn.

Some big hurling games the weekend in particular Sars v Blackrock and Douglas v Midleton. Douglas usually have one big game in them so i think they’ll beat Midleton who haven’t been going well.
Who’s coaching Midleton this year?
Joxer o Connor

Who’s over Ballyhale so?
Three lads that i have never heard of from three different clubs in Kilkenny none of which are Ballyhale. Seems utterly bizarre.
Joxer resigned in the dressing room after the All Ireland Club Final.
