All these Thursday and Friday games is making a mockery of the split season.
Only 6 games in Limerick on this Sunday: 5 games involving second teams and a lower intermediate game.
The county board should be capitalising on Limerickās recent successes and putting games on at times that people especially kids can go to games.
It was very hard to stomach. I wonāt lie.
Great result for St Kieranās drawing with Knockainey in the Intermediate 2-16 1-19ā¦ anyone there?
Itās not the limerick way.
Would 4 groups of 4 work in Limerick now? Isnāt the gap decreasing between the top 4 and the rest?
The 12 teams in each division (apart from PIHC with 8) has worked well. Two groups of 6 would work best.
If you changed it to 16, the gap from the 4th best team in PIHC to the NaPās, Doon, Kilmallock, etc would still be huge.
2x groups of 6 with seeded teams would allow teams like Mungret, Monaleen, Ballybrown get a crack off the top teams while also still having 3-4 other even games.
Yeah, I think a move back to two even groups of six next year would be good, and maybe seed the semi-finalists from the year before.
The format has done what it was intended to do, I think.
Heād be 23, I suppose.
He was unbelievable last year tbf and racked up huge scores but he doesnāt really play like Casey; he likes to carry the ball a lot more (from his time playing at midfield, I suppose). Wouldnāt quite have the balance, footwork, first touch of Casey (not that theyāre bad but Casey is elite level).
3 groups of 4 would be cut throat.
Not if 8 teams get out. That would be shit.
And if itās only 4, so many dead rubbers once you lose a game.
Provisional 2026 Munster SHC fixtures
Round 1: Tipperary v Cork; Clare v Waterford.
Round 2: Cork v Limerick; Waterford v Tipperary.
Round 3 (separate weekends): Clare v Limerick (first); Waterford v Cork (second).
Round 4: Limerick v Waterford; Tipperary v Clare.
Round 5: Cork v Clare; Limerick v Tipperary.
Two away games to start again.
Patrickswell with 4 points from play in the entire game is quite embarrassing from them.they will probably sneak 4th spot though.
Limerick start with two away games for the second year in a row
This is why players should play and administrators administrate.
Iām sure all the players are delighted to get the games played off on Thursday nights to go on the beer for the weekend but administrators need to step in and ask what is the best overall outcome for the GAA as a whole?
My understanding is that there is barely a Senior Club match played on a Sunday in Limerick until the knockout stages which is ridiculous.
The Limerick county board going to have alot to answer for again this week it seems.
Clare FM revealing this morning Limerick voted in that motion to seed the Munster championship despite players and management coming out against it.
Might turn a few off it again?
A few of those na piarsaigh ballygunner clashes were cracking games. Was it 2 years ago na piarsaigh were outstanding in the first half before ballygunner roared back into it
Cork championship has 3 groups of 4 and it is a lively championship.
This is because of most senior teams having second teams at junior A level, NaP are at intermediate grade and Kilmallock were up until last year. That is understandable. The rest of your point in the post is 100% though.
Surely after round 1 it barely makes a difference?
In Tipp you could easily have your second team playing Friday/Saturday and the first team on Sunday.
The flagship games shouldnāt be hidden away on Thursday evenings.
On the cards to be introduced next yearā¦
