Pudgie started.
The game looked over but Pallasgreen scored 3 goals in stoppage time and almost stole it. Pudgie got the last one.
No red cards though, although it was a close-run thing, Pudgie was a little loose with his hurley on a yellow.

Because of the H2H rule, Kierans now need at least a win and a draw from their final two games or are in relegation. And hope Pallas get nothing from their last game.
While that is not ideal, itās at least partly a freak of scheduling.
For me, I donāt like that the promoted team have to play Ahane first every single year. If you are going to set it up; for me, it should be the last game as then at least youād have a situation like Liberties vs Adare in the B group.
In reality, I think it should be a random schedule each year and you just take it as it comes but if youāre going to fix it, at least fix it properly.
As for the overall format, I think that, until some of the weaker sides who go up to the A group start winning, I donāt know if you can change it up. I would have said the gap was closing a little bit but then Mungret went and got obliterated in their last two games after having gone so close to Kilmallock.

As far as I know it actually IS random but itās just thrown up that fixture for the last few years.
Itās done off a matrix on the Servasport system where you enter the teams and the computer gives you the schedule of games. Iāve used it before and itās actually easier to calculate the championship fixtures as all venues are neutral. For the league you have to take a home/away split into account.
It actually is a freak of scheduling.
A glitch in the matrix maybe.
If they have been producing a random schedule Iād say there is a good chance of human error / system error given the probability of it happening three years in a row.
I dunno. There are only three possible pairings and a team can only play one of another 5 so maybe the odds of it happening arenāt as long as weād think?
I am liable to human error myself but I make it 20% probability for a given year and 0.8% probability it happens three years in a row (0.2 * 0.2 * 0.2).
1 in 5. 20%.
3 years in a row is very long odds at less than 1% probability.
There must not be many older than him left playing outfield for their clubās first team?
Even Kirby has gone into goals. I think Lucey is finally done. Dodge hasnāt played this year, I donāt think James Vincent OāBrien has. Maurice OāBrien is gone.
There might be one or two others down the grades but I canāt think of them off the top of my head.
Is Lorcan o Leary gone travelling Again?
Working in London. Heāll be back the next day.

A huge addition
Where would you even start to investigate this I wonder

Can imagine the culprits all ācome togetherā in unison for things like this.
Grim, but itās a harsh lesson learned moreso than an investigation into who did it.
Heads should probably now turn to āhow can we prevent this ever happening again?ā
Heard there is Solicitorās involved in Bruff club. Must be some mess.
Itās almost impossible to eliminate completely. If you are really bothered to put in the effort to do it, thereās no real way to stop it.
Like, that fence has been there for years.
True - I get that alright
Maybe I shouldāve said - āwhat is the best thing we can do to make this as hard as possible to do againā
Slowing the culprit down getting in and outā¦ floodlit motion sensorsā¦ motion alarms on certain hotspots etc
Might as well overdo it if thereās a serious potential cost to it happening
Itās gone beyond a witch hunt point at this stage.
