Limerick GAA - knocked down, but will get up again

I know you’re probably joking but they must have been. You’d always bring your own water to a GAA ground. Any ground for that matter. Inter county teams, surely not…

As of last night one or two were very close to being hospitalized as a result of being violently ill - vomiting etc - as a result of it.

I’ve drank that water before, I’m lucky to be alive :nauseated_face:

The chinese?

Killeedy 2-19 Templeglantine 1-12.

Killeedy have won their first 3 games by 22, 12 & 10 points. Definitely laying down an early marker after last year’s disappointment.

The Well beat Crecora by 4 on Wednesday night and look to be the team to beat in the City.

Doon had a great win over Caherline on Monday too; Ballybricken/Bohermore got to the County League Final (beat Kilmallock 5-19 to 5-9) but have lost to both Doon & Caherline in Championship already.

Paudie O’Dwyer is playing for Kilmallock, I didn’t know that.

I was at Killeedy v Templeglantine game. Killeedy were impressive, Liam Ryan from Newtown is coaching them and they moved the ball really well in fairness, runners of the shoulder and carrying it through the middle. Worked some very nice short puckouts too. They’ve definitely improved from last year and are playing a nice brand of hurling. They look well drilled and organised. Fuck me Templeglantine didn’t help themselves though. Missed several scoreable frees and a few goal chances and gave away few very soft frees themselves. Had gotten right back into the game and were causing problems for Killeedy and conceded an awful second goal.

Croagh Kilfinny are going really well apparently. Dark horses perhaps.

The Well have a very young team, the average age was raised significantly when Barry Foley was sprung off the bench with 15 minutes to go. Crecora were 3 points up at the time.

Monagea 6-17 Stakers 1-10.

The baptism of fire in the famed west junior A hurling championship continues for the men from the south.

That’s some bateing, gives a huge advantage to Monagea in terms of getting through. Looks like it’s between them and Templeglantine and if it comes down to scoring difference, that will help. They’re due to play each other next weekend, could be a very interesting one.

Feenagh/Kilmeedy beat Kieran’s by 5 in the other group. Kilmallock vs Askeaton tomorrow should be interesting.

If those Stakers were any good they’d be playing for us!

Where is that match on? And what time is throw-in?

I’d nearly head to that if it’s on locally.

Bizarre game.

Think Kilmallock went 6-0 up at one stage and it looked like we were in for an unmerciful hiding , then we came back into it a bit and it was 7-2 with about 15 gone, but Killmallock still looked in control. Then we made a few adjustments and just took over. In the last 15 mins of the first half and the first 15 mins of the second half we out scored them 7-1 to go 9-8 up. Unfortunately between us getting back to within a point and us finally going up a point we missed at least 6 very score able chances, including two or three very gettable frees.
Kilmallock then hit us for about 1-3 in the space of 3 minutes and despite a late goal we couldn’t close the gap. Lost by three for a finish, think it was 1-14 to 1-11. We were probably the better side for 40 plus minutes of the game, but the difference was when Killmallock were on top they took their scores much easier.
Paudie O’Dwyer still looks like he could do a job for the seniors, wouldn’t expect them to be taking anyone off that team though.
If we had Willie we’d have won. We are a very average side without him unfortunately.
Adare on Friday, which we have to win, but it’s out of our hands now unless we can pull off a massive upset against the team of the group so far Castletown. Need Kierans to beat Killmallock, which isn’t beyond the realms of possibility to be fair. Score difference doesn’t matter because of Adare doing the bollox again.
Killmallock have some nice hurlers but won’t go too far I don’t think (although if you make a West Semi you are in a county Quarter now).

We played them in a challenge the other day, and O’Dwyer was very good that day aswell. How long is Willie out for? Ye’ll need him to cause an upset against C/B.

City Junior A Hurling Championship:
Old Christians 3-18 Ballybrown 0-9
Patrickswell 1-17 Na Piarsaigh 1-12
Claughaun 2-18 Monaleen 0-8

Looks like advantage Claughaun for that last semi-final spot. They should beat NaP and even a loss to Crecora should see them squeeze through unless Mungret shock Crecora & Old Christians.

With the way it should play out a win over either crecora or Christians could put us through and them out. We have a few players to come back for the crecora game and won’t lack motivation in that

Gone for the year has to go for a knee op.

I’d expect them to get to 8 points with the win over NaP.

If ye beat Monaleen & only one of Crecora/Christians, you’d be on 8 too. It’d be head-to-head if both of you are on 8 and they win that?

Fuck.
