Limerick GAA 2023-2024.... 5 in a row is not here

I think the whole thing is very different now. Teams are guaranteed 4/5 championship games in a short space of time.

That means injuries have a bigger impact.

Between the jigs and the reels teams can easily be down 3 or 4 players for the first round of championship as well given the timing.

I think maybe if you come on as a sub you are cup tied until after the next championship game or something like that.

It’s definitely worth looking at anyway.

It’s worse a club naming a lad senior and then not playing him senior. He gets no game at all then.

That doesn’t apply anywhere I know of? You’re not graded up unless you actually take the field

Na Piarsaigh beat Glenroe by 3 points in the 1st Round of the Premier Intermediate Championship last weekend. 4 of those Na Piarsaigh players started for their Seniors against Patrickswell this weekend.

I know who I feel sorry for in that instance and it certainly isn’t the club fielding at both Senior and Premier Intermediate ffs

Applies in Limerick, you can apply to be regraded after the 1st round if you didn’t play.

It applies in Limerick unless there was a change since last year.

No 2nd team should be alllowed play before their 1st team.

You’d probably miss a round waiting for that to go through? Seems an unnecessary approach

That’s a completely different issue.

Correct everyone has a first 15 who had have played the previous year.

Last year they didnt even allow that much!

No regrading during the year full stop.

In fairness that was due to injury but it does make it unfair when the timing of a match can have a significant impact on a teams chances.

Fuck you and the horse you rode in on

Half time in Croom.

Granagh m-Ballingarry 1-14 Knockainey 1-8

The Knockfierna men full value for their lead, Luke Flynn doing untold damage with a haul of 1-4 from play. Darragh Casey and Cathal O’Keeffe very prominent around the middle of the park. Sean O’Connor unerring with frees.

Knockainey were poor for most of the half but were given a lifeline when awarded a penalty for a foul on Donal Madden in the 25th minute. Pat Kirby dispatched it into the corner. Pa Reale has shot a couple of nice points to keep them in it.

There’s a moderate breeze here but unless Knockainey use it and show considerable improvement in second half, it’s G/Bs to lose.

In Laois you name 15 early in the year and 2 more later on. Those 17 have to play in the grade regardless of whether they take the field. It’s generally not blackguarded but is open to fuckology

In Limerick being long term injured or away in Australia usually gets you first team status for the 15 submitted.

Very valid point of injuries and requirements of bigger squads. Does need to be looked at

Daylight robbery in Caherconlish.

Na Piarsaigh 2-13 Cappamore 1-15.

Cappamore were largely in control from early on and 5+ ahead for most of the game. Na Piarsaigh scored 2-1 in injury time with the second goal from a long ball from the middle of the field straight into the net in the tenth minute.
