San Fran down to 2 senior football teams who playing each other in a 5 game series. Recruitment drive is underway for the loser of round 1.
Like the World Series.
Used to be 3 in NY
What is the point of it for the benefactors? Dick measuring competition?

Hurling snob having their own competition.
Think theyâre up to 5 now in NY in Senior.
Tipp, Clare, Waterford, Hoboken and Westmeath were in it last summer.
Westmeath never feared Hoboken

Down to 4 teams this year, Hoboken are gone
It changes every year depending on what subbie wants to pony up for a team.
Speaking of wasting money, Donegal had a golf outing back a few years ago, 36 hole golf course booked out, Monaghan paid for a plane to fly over head for an hour with a banner âMonaghan New York Senior Champions 2016â
Fair play to Donal og for again calling out the raw deal hurling is getting.
The two all Ireland q/fs should have been on Sunday at 2 pm and 4 pm.
UEFA arenât going to stick the champions league final on Thursday at 20:15 and play the europa league final on Saturday evening.
No other sport carryâs on like this.
We have to have the bones of an hour between knockout games on in the same stadium too which makes double headers a terrible choice. Too many people coming in and out between both games.
Just pick suitable venues and go from there.
Tipperary looked for all the world like a team whoâd hit the wall and didnât want to be there on Saturday night. Galway marginally better they still did their utmost to get beat.
Dublin too packed up and went home before half time even. Another team who couldnât wait to get the year over.
This microwaved season actually feels a lot longer and is more draining for the players than the traditional season ever was.

No curtain raiser to the All Ireland Final and no Kilmacud Crokes* 7âs on All Ireland Weekend. Jubilee team introduced to a few hundred people an hour before throw in.
Youâd wonder what will be next to fall.

But, but, but theyâll pipe in noise over the tannoy and idiots will lap it up and say it was a great atmosphere.
With the advent of the split season, the All Ireland Final is just another match now, no longer an occasion.
Does the Archbishop of Cashel even have any role now on All Ireland Final day?
I donât think so.
Last years hurling final was a total non event. I didnât leave home in Mid West Tipperary until nearly midday and didnt miss a thing.
I remember not that long ago, if you hadnât left home at 10.30am on the Saturday you were late.
Bit of a strange post that considering you were blowinholing earlier in in the year what you might be facing in an all Ireland final. And surprise surprise, I turned out to be right

Does the Archbishop of Canterbury have a role in firing in the first ball of the Ashes?
