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

Thurles and Colmanā€™s looked like a cracker. As expected, all of these qfs were extremely competitive.

Thurles CBS probably favourites to win it from here?

All 4 will fancy it.

Itā€™s very even but Thurles prob slight favourites.

Semi finals are thurles v Midleton, thurles slight favourites. ASR v Cashel is a 50-50 game.

Knocked out in the group, made the most of that team. Thatā€™s the key with schools outside the top 8, Cashel in that boat this year

Poor attempt at a chant at the end

@downyourthroats would usually sign in around this time of year giving us a rundown of Collegeā€™s chances in the Fitzgibbon and Sigerson and regale us with a few tales of past glories

UL generally wonā€™t allow outsiders on the grass pitch at this time of year, particularly if the weather is bad.

Itā€™s an unbelievable surface, but they are quite selective about who can use it.

I spotted ā€˜St Caiminsā€™ written on one of the dressing room doors in Mary I yesterday, did they have a colleges match there?

Flannanā€™s meant to play DLS in STP, Tipp Town Today in White Cup U15A Hurling.

Iā€™m reminded of attending the same schools playing in the same competition in the same venue 15 years ago this year. A Jake Dillon inspired DLS edging out a Tony Kelly inspired Flannanā€™s.

Where does the time go?

Midleton cbs have one the best teams ever to come through the school. Due to play Thurles in next round. Be some match.

Theyā€™d want to win their quarter final first.

They will.

Thatā€™ll be up on the Cashel dressing room now Fenway. Are you going to Mallow on Saturday?

Kilmallock? Or change of venue already with weather?

Read it as Mallow earlier, might be wrong.

Cashel v Ard Scoil is on at 12,30 in kilmallock.

Thurles v Midleton at 3 in Mallow.
