The School, College & University Competitions Thread (another thread gone west)

When will Griffin get a run out for Limerick?

He seems to have bulked up a bit, scored three or four points from play today apparently and struck over a host of frees.

He was surely worth a run in the Waterford Crystal at least?

What age is he?

Started against Clare in Ennis in the u-21 Munster semi final in 2011 I think. Graeme Mulcahy missed that match and came back in for the final against Cork as far as I remember, meaning that Griffin lost his place.

Think he was u-21 the next year too so I’d guess he is in or around 22/23?

He has been a big loss to Kildimo!!

The Fitzgibbon and Sigerson should be played in the intercounty closed season before Christmas. Two non-entity competitions interrupting intercounty competition and team building. Wexford hurling captain Matt O’Hanlon played Fitzgibbon today and is due to play Sigerson on Friday and Saturday ahead of our NHL game against Offaly next Sunday having played in Antrim last Sunday.

Agreed. Colleges have far too much influence on the GAA season, not sure when is the best time to play it off though. It’s a complete nuisance for inter-county managers trying to deal with it just as the season is commencing.

The Railway Cup is another complete waste of time. If I was an inter-county manager I’d ban my players from taking part in it. If you want to represent Munster or Leinster or Ulster fuck off and play rugby football. You’re not much use to your club or county if you get injured playing for them.

Is he soft in the head?

I don’t know him personally.

I don’t always agree with Liam Dunne but he said similiar re the colleges during the week. Wtf are they doing in the walsh cups, Waterford crystal etc? Sure haven’t they their own competitions

Willie Grifin has been outstanding all through this years Fitz. Best player on the pitch today. Other great performances from Darren Mac, Alan Cadogan and the reliable Tipperary trio of James Barry, Dan McCormack and Stephen Maher.
UCD couldn’t match the hunger of UCC when it came down to it in the closing stages.

Great to see Seamus Harnedy back:clap:

How did Barry Lawton (no 14) do downyourthroats.

He was No. 10. Lehane was named at no. 14 but wasn’t even togged out. Lawton had a good solid game. Very stylish hurler.

And he was wrong. The Dean Ryan is 16 & 1/2

Davy won’t back down so he won’t, UL and LIT both warming up on the same half of the pitch in UL.

Will you be at the Harty Saturday?

LIT lead 0-06 to 0-02 after 10 minutes.

I’ll try to attend - what time is it on at? Gaelic Grounds is the venue.

I know it’s not practical but it’s a pity it’s not on as a curtain raiser before the Antrim match on Sunday.

LIT 0-08 UL 0-03
