A lot of those Tipp players had great seasons or multiple seasons. How many of them were really on form at the same time though? Those teams were wildly inconsistent

Gone to shit since Tobin retired. 3rd relegation beckons

Douglas abĂș

It’s on the Bog Road

Sam Cronolly did a lot of damage for Bruree. 0-4 from play, a sideline, a penalty which he won himself and a fair few frees.

Mixer got 0-3, as did Sam Williams.

Penalty was the turning point, M/B were a point up at that point but didn’t respond well at all to the penalty. Bruree HB line sat almost inside their own '45 which meant there was no space at all for the dangerous M/B full-forward line. They hit a lot of aimless ball on top of the sweeper. When M/B ran at them, they did cause them problems but probably started too late. Jack Nicholas drove them forward but Bruree were comfortably the better team.

What bog road?

Just back from The Bog Garden.

Croagh/Kilfinny just about hung on for victory, following a strong second half Granagh/Ballingarry revival. Croagh dominating the opening 20 mins with Ballingarry tacking on a few points in the lead up to half time to stay in touch. 11-6 at half time with Brian Hannan, Andrew Meade, Josh O’Connor and Tom McMahon to the fire for C/K. Cathal O’Keeffe and Damian O’Donovan keeping G/B in it.

The second period was a mirror image of the first - G/B dominating the first 20 with Darragh Casey and Jack Cagney taking over at midfield. Cathal O’Keeffe doing a lot of damage with his scores and surging runs. 15-13 with 10 to go and Croagh came back into it, going 17-14 up through Hannan and O’Connor. G/B couldn’t reel them back. Both teams guilty of some very wayward shooting down the home stretch. Ballingarry will feel they should have done better when on top, Michael Russell spurned a good goal chance when his shot was blocked by C/K stopper Dave Lynch. A lot of high ball rained down on top of the Croagh full back line but Ciaran Tangney, Mark Mullane and Ryan McCarthy stood up to it. It was arguably Croagh’s most impressive line on the day. Too often the ball just wouldn’t stick for Ballingarry inside the 21.

Croagh will be happy enough to have won without marquee forward Jack Lenihan. They could have done with him on the pitch in the second half - as it was he was performing ‘maor uisce’ duties.

Overall a very decent game with not a dirty stroke in it. Pallasgreen are next up for Croagh next Saturday, while Sunday sees Ballingarry take on Hospital.

Sean O’Connor playing?

How was Seamus?

Sean O Connor not in the country

O’Connor not in the G/B squad.

Seamus was ok, he fielded a couple of fine high balls in second half and laid on two scores. I don’t recall him scoring but I missed the first few minutes so will need to clarify.

The Dow bagged a goal from a free in the last minute to give Na Piarsaigh the win by a point.

Outrageous strike from the Dow. It was a stupid free to concede by F/C as Nap attacker was going away from goal.
Feohanagh absolutely fucked it away. They were leading 4 points approaching injury time. The Dow had a 21 free saved about the 60 minute mark and I thought that was that. I got roped in to do umpire at the other end. The Dow was constantly talking/roaring at his backs, much more so than Fitzgibbon in Feohanagh goals. And his puckouts were about one and a half times as long.

What were the puckouts like? Was he mixing in any intermediate ones?

Anyone have the Kilmallock line out from last night? Any retirements from last year? @balbec
