Not much good to you now mate, but thatās a significantly longer route than nessecary. You should have come off in Portlaoise through baltinglass and on. Would have saved you a good half hour Iād say. Especially with road works at moment.
Interesting* one about the new mark rule. Someone like @Elvis_Brandenberg_Kr might be able to clarify this for me.
Darragh Treacy won an attacking mark about forty yards out in the first half, facing into the hurricane. He ballooned the ball a mile up into the air. Two players - one for each side - went for it but as they grappled for possession both missed it. The ball bounced and ended back with Darragh Treacy - without seemingly being touched by any other player. Surely that should have been a free to Wicklowā¦?
As it was Treacy won it, laid it off to Jamie Lee who put it over the bar.
Also if a player takes an attacking mark, goes for a score, hits the woodwork and comes back to him is he then free to play it? Surely he has touched the ball twice in succession?
Itās a lovely course. A very knowledgable racing crowd too. Thytestes day is probably the best days racing in the country. All different levels of the game on show. I think smark will love it.
Team for kilkenny chaps? Im hearing weve doing a lot of heavy cardio training recently so im not expecting a w. Any updates on M. Casey, WOD or The Dow? I think Boylan is a major find if he keeps playing well. Hes in the mould of a kiely half forward. It Means in a gruelling munster championship we can rotate like for like with hego etc. Likewise peter casey gives us the same option in the fullforward line.
