Itâs time alright. And Westmeathians like @Bod95 should be happy. To be revealed tomorrow.
Time to take stock, whoâs flyin and whoâs dyin.
- Limerick - still the standard to reach. And by standard I mean Big House funded, full time, criminal vouching, doped up set up.
- Clare - the only team Limerick fear, apart from a team of drug testers.
- Tipp - theyâll do wreak this year, I smell a wan in a row.
- Cork - BACK! I have them down to get out of Munster.
- Galway - Shefflin needs to deliver and the new set up will bring them forward. A strong semi final team.
- Wexford - canât be beat right now, some backbone to them. Theyâll make it to a semi final youâd think.
- Waterford - might be the 5th team in Munster, but could beat anyone on their day.
- KK - another transition year and another year to the famine. Should get 3rd in Leinster.
- Offaly - great work happening and results are now flowing. Unlucky to be in the league group theyâre in.
- Dublin - with all their money they still canât make it. Like the limerick footballers I suppose.
- Westmeath - always a result in them.
- Antrim - should be higher, only way is up.
Câmere, number 4 is a suspicious entry considering your 1,2 and 3
Cork are BACK! Get on with it.
And still trailing behind also rans like Tipp and Clare?
Thatâs not BACK
Which of the top 3 donât make it out of Munster?
Iâm hoping Limerick but sure Big House and all of that
Badly rattled, badly.
Yawn
Leave him be. They need this.
Truth be told, KK are fortunate to be 8th on that list. Survival In Leinster would be a great year for them.
Davy says Cork are in the first one or two for the All Ireland, and thatâs not playing games so itâs not.
Hard to argue with any of that
Kilkenny 8?! Weâll win leinster again to set us up for another trimming by limerick.
Forgetting about likes of Fogarty and Buckley would be a help. Wally still has something to contribute.
Thereâs an argument tbf that we could be 6th with a tailwind and a bit of luck, but weâre nowhere. I canât remember the last time we beat Wexford. Waterford is a toss of the coin. In fact an early exit to the championship might be of benefit to our already thriving club scene - better to concentrate on this for a while and hope we can translate it to a better county team. Iâd go as far as to say that KK in the hurling championship are like Wales in the 6 nations - past glories but built on a foundation of dry sand. Limerick = Ireland in this instance btw, though Ireland do rotate theyâre players in big matches over the past 6 years or so.
The next @locke power rankings will be fascinating. Kilkenny will surely rise a bit from a lowly 8th.
Limerick had other things on their mind today.
They werenât arsedâŚ.
Not the stuff of champions though
Two big dunts for Offaly and Westmeath over the weekend.
