more a recency bias, they’ve been doing alright over the past 10 years
2010, 2012, 2014, 2015, 2021
Not really. Mayo and Galway had won the past 5 between them.
They won a minor last year but had not won a minor since 2012 before that with Mayo and Galway sharing the previous 7 between them.
Roscommon would always go in as third favourites in Connacht in a 5 horse race with two of contestants being mules in Sligo and Leitrim. It takes a lot more for a county like Offaly to pull off a shock in Leinster than it would Roscommon in Connacht.
Cork will be very strong favourites to win out from here.
To be fair to Monaghan they had won Ulster minor titles in 2018 and 2019 so you’d have expected this group of players to be fighting for an Ulster title.
Not sure what to expect next Friday night in the final. We’ll either lose by 2 or win by 10.

Lads from Sean Phobal, Ring and the Brickeys on a Waterford hurling team is great to see.

Very much so. The lads from Ring and Old Parish would play on an An Gaeltacht team together.
Would it be classed as a hurling or football area?
The ancestors of some of them would probably be of Connemara football stock.
Old Parish would only have a junior football team for donkeys years. I believe they have entered a junior b hurling side in to competition for the first time in about 25 years.
Ring would have a decent pick and have played senior hurling recently. Yo-yo up and down a few times in the last 6 years. They have or had a senior football team as well. Ardmore is a neighbouring parish to Old Parish. They would have been senior in both football and hurling for a long time when backboned by the Hennessy’s in football and the Prendergast’s in hurling. They could be intermediate now in both. Definitely intermediate in hurling anyway.

Timmy Wilk, Cobh. Polish lad?
Between Dungarvan and Ring. Traditionally a very football area. In the 1950s they played Mount Sion in a county senior football final in Fraher Field and when defeat was inevitable they ran a load of horses onto the field and the match was abandoned and no trophy awarded that year. We didn’t really care because it was only football. It became known as the Giddyup county final.

Yeah.
I thought they were out another direction. Going towards Aglish? Go out the road past the old Glass factory site? They used to had a big night for a bbq back in the day.
Yep. Terrific all round athlete, very talented hurler.
