The Joe McDonagh Cup incorporating Christy Ring, Nicky Rackard and whoever else

Isn’t Kilgarvan & Kenmare doing a bit too?

The hiding they dished out to Offaly’s B team definitely backs that up.

They have teams. They plug away but they aren’t going to be the answer. Kilgarvan is too small and Kenmare is big ball first. Unfortunately for them they are very isolated from the rest of the clubs and it’s hard to get games etc.

There’s actually a bit going on in Killarney at underage these days.

Listowel should be targeted as there are hurling clubs nearby as well.

But while the Kerry county board are fairly good to support hurling. They don’t actually want it to tdo that well either. The championship will be played off quick fire to get it out of the way so the football can proceed unhindered.

Spot on.

2 man FF line was asking for trouble.

When you’re winning you keep winning. He rolled the dice but it was the wrong call imho. Coulda worked out. Didn’t.

Wouldn’t expect or need proper coverage of the Joe Mc games, unless there was nothing else happening that weekend. The single camera, commentator coughing into microphone 90 seconds before throw-in approach would do just fine.

Coming back 15 seconds after throw-in for the 2nd half with the joke about the tae and sangwiches from Mary in the Clubhouse holding them up

Joe McDonagh is screaming out for the TG4 treatment. Put the matches on Saturday evenings before the big games on Sunday

The majority of the games are played around 1pm on a Saturday. No fucks are given about it

Playing against Newtown? Who won?

Come into the 21st century mate. There are no winners anymore.

The 1948 Waterford All Ireland minor winning team was drawn from just 3 clubs. 6 Cappoquin, 5 Mount Sion, 4 Dungarvan.

Could even have a few Friday night games on tv as well, as long it doesn’t include Antrim or Kerry.
Having a game at 7:30 shouldnt really be a big logistics issue for the Midland teams like Laois, offally, westmeath etc

That sounds absurd. How was that even possible.

It gets better. Of the 7 subs, 5 were from Dungarvan, 1 was from Mount Sion and 1 was from Ferrybank.

yes but as Julio summed it up Kilgarvan is very small and football has taken over in Kenmare

Both have always played hurling but really it has gone backwards there, when Kerry beat Waterford in 1993 there was 4 players from Kenmare \Kilgarvan, 3 playing 1 sub. Now they have a single player on the panel

There is a Donal O’Sullivan from Kilgarvan warming the bench for the kerry footballers, he is a dinger of a hurler that could spark some life into the kerry hurlers. He was the first Kilgarvan club man to play national league football for kerry

Absolute beauty of a goal for Wicklow in the Nicky Rackard final there.

All square with 45 mins gone.

Wicklow starting to turn the screw now. They’ve stormed back in the second half.

Think it was 50 odd minutes before they were ever ahead in this game but are much stronger coming down the finishing straight, knocking over some lovely points.

Got a bit nervy there after the Luke White goal from the free but they held on. There’s no reason on paper why Wicklow shouldn’t be able to emulate the likes of Carlow. Border Wexford and have the advantage of Bray playing the hurling league in Dublin.
