Granagh ballingarry?
In 2013 by the 25 of august 2013 gran/ballingarry had played three hurling championship games and four championship football games in the Limerick championships.
The Limerick footballers finished in late June in 2013 and the hurlers in the middle of august in 2013.
Fast forward to 2023 and the footballers were done mid June and the hurlers mid July.
We are playing less games than ever before.
Of all the hills for these split season zealots to die on, championing games to be played at half 6 on Thursday evenings is an utterly bizarre one.
And the same apes want the two all all Irelands pushed out two further weeks into the club season so the games can be played in the pitch dark or maybe we can play them in Electric picnic instead.
That would be fun.
The clubs involved requested it due to weddings/EP.
Not something Iād agree with tbh but surely another example of players coming first.
Thursday evening games are fine except for the few poor players/supporters who work away from home. Iām sure these players were asked before the fixtures were changed.
Ye guys just donāt get it do ye.
EP is moving back to August from next year on, the GAA should bring the hurling final back to clash with EP which was always the case.
Just fuck the club players a little bit more while your at it.
If a club requests for a Thursday fixture due to a Friday wedding then surely this is not a bad thing.
You must be the biggest crank Iāve ever encountered. Like a 70 year old.
Because I actually like the game of hurling and still hope in fifty years time itās still played Yano Iām not just telling people their used to be this game we all played and watchedā¦.
The only reason e.p is in august is because Coldplay are playing in early September.
By the looks of things we can just delay the whole club championship to the middle of September next year and play it in the dark.
Declan Hannon is getting married next week. One or two fellas might self combust when they see the fixtures.
We were down an important player for our first championship game against ahane because of his wedding. A lot of the squad would have been attending as well.
He was getting married on a Friday but playing it on a Thursday didnāt sound like an option for some reason.
Whatever about deccie seems a bit unfair if games are moved for e.p and not a players wedding.
Game is on Wednesday night isnāt it
Hannon gets married on a Thursday I think
Heās like a Chinese knock-off of Fulvio, except Fulvio knew what he was talking about.
You didnāt even know when your own club joined up last week.
Theyāre not my club
Correction. You hadnāt jumped on the bandwagon yet because they were struggling to stay in the lower premier intermediate with barely a junior b football team while struggling to finance the day to runnings of the club.
Club players have never been happier
Yes, there are a couple on Wednesday, and a couple on Thursday with a 6pm throw-in.
Fair enough games switched over a wedding but Thursday night games championship games are strange I must say. Under lights at 7.30 wouldnt be bad but 6.00 is an odd throw in time.
