That’ll change dramatically by June
The best lads from those teams are still U20 this year so it’ll be another 2-3 years before my start to see Tipp emerge again. Tipp v Offaly should be a brilliant U20 final this year.
Clare will beat Tipp in Munster I think
Oh that’s true. I’d forgotten about their crack team that won minor a couple of years ago. I’d been swayed by Tipp lads here waxing lyrical about Euan Murray.
Tipp have 20 forwards of intercounty standard though!
Its a tsunami.
There’s a fair chance none of those hotshots who fired over 28 points for Thurles CBS today will start.
It doesnt get more box office than a Kilkenny defeat and a Rory McIlroy win the same day. How will @Locke handle this?
Oooooooffftttttt
Swap Tipperary and Kilkenny there
There’s only one park now for @Locke.
That’s SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh.
Cork
Clare
Limerick
Tipp
The rest
After second round of games in the league:
- Limerick
- Cork
- Clare
- Galway
- Tipp
- Kilkenny
That’s a weak list. Could you not extend it to 14/16 teams?
I could
There’s only one man able to do a proper POWER RANKINGS around here.
God rest Joe
- Clare - All Ireland champions and league champions. Undoubted no 1
- Cork - Runners up and the coming force in hurling. Need to fine tune a few things and could do with sorting the gurrier element within the support base
- Limerick - best team in the land since 2018 facing into choppy waters and some dreaded TRANSITION
- Kilkenny - consistent but held back by playing in the diddy cup that is the Leinster Championship
- Tipperary - they are BACK but are they BACK enough for 2025?
- Dublin - could be dark horses for the year. Virtually Guaranteed to come out of Leinster
- Galway - fuck knows
- Waterford - Hard to see how they can improve. Underage hasn’t been good for a while
- Wexford - will be hoping Lee Chin comes back.Squad looks threadbare
- Carlow - Showing promise. Picked off a few decent results lately
- Antrim - stayed up in Leinster last year. Beat Wexford. Davy might improve them. So he might
- Offaly - Obviously strong at underage but they’ve a long way to go
- Laois - dangerous lunatics
- Westmeath - Think they might be on the down swing
- Kildare - they beat Kerry recently. That’s all I know about them
Lee Chin is back in training in Ferns since last Tuesday. Woolie was well wide of the mark.
I think they’ll be top 3 this year but virtually guaranteed is a stretch.
Antrim swap places with Offaly.
I’m also going to put Galway above Dublin. Thought they looked good in patches against Clare.
- Clare
- Cork
- Limerick
- Kilkenny
- Tipperary
- Galway
- Dublin
- Waterford
- Wexford
- Carlow
- Offaly
- Antrim
- Laois
- Westmeath
- Kildare
You’re being extremely nice to Waterford there.
Laois will beat Carlow and Antrim to leap up the ratings.
