Would agree with that West Final but couldn't see them beating Feenagh. TTT (Limerick) - Posts: 4 - 07/07/2017 13:41:33 2011973 Link
Replying To cooper100: "Are you forgetting Tour? They would be my favourites for the West, proabably meeting Feenagh in a final. in the East you'd think Caherline and probably Kilmallock the best the south has to offer. Pats should win the City" Pats will win the city,if they get knocked out of the football,could see they coming close cityman73 (Limerick) - Posts: 783 - 07/07/2017 15:49:46 2012042 Link

Not much between Killeedy Tournafulla and Monagea but I would rate Monagea slightly ahead of the other 2 if all players available. Askeaton could get on a run too and knock out one of these 3. Decent championship this year. Westfester (Limerick) - Posts: 973 - 07/07/2017 17:35:45 2012078 Link

Replying To batman: "I thought Askeaton were as gud as gone?" Gone now. Just missed out against Tournafulla by 2 points. Rathkeale might take over as dark horses now! Westfester (Limerick) - Posts: 973 - 09/07/2017 22:36:16 2013491 Link
A few strange results at the weekend. This is the way the Quarter Finals are lining up. Although there is a lot of hurling to be played yet, I am going to speculate and see who might meet who. QF City Winner vs South Runner Up QF East Winner vs West Runner Up QF South Winner vs City Runner Up QF West Winner vs East Runner Up St Pats vs Staker Wallace Kilteely Dromkeen vs Killeedy Kilmallock vs Patrickswell Tournafulla vs Doon Im sure there will be plenty who disagree as it is a very very open championship. cooper100 (Limerick) - Posts: 40 - 11/07/2017 10:49:40 2014781 Link

Should be pwell and st.pats in city final and think kilmallock and c/b in the south heard there is trouble in the stakers camp. In the west I'd fancy killeedy and monagea but certainly wouldn't rule out feenagh and tournafulla feenagh v killeedy next round will tell a lot, in the east looks like Kilteely are strong this year doon v ballybricken next will be curious to see who comes out on top and certainly wouldn't rule caherline out yet bestisbest (Limerick) - Posts: 206 - 12/07/2017 18:44:34 2015772 Link
I hear there is big changes in Caherline concerning trainers/position changes, players not happy with the trainer and want a new one before it's too late!! Still wouldn't rule them out as they only need to win 1 game to qualify for the semi finals. MunsterChampion (Limerick) - Posts: 84 - 14/07/2017 12:42:40 2016485 Link
With ahane and mboher being fairly weak the east junior doesnt get serious until semifinal stage. 4 even teams in caherline doon bb and kd. Anyones championship. Who is this full forward for kilteely i keep hearing about?? Goldenoldie (Limerick) - Posts: 78 - 14/07/2017 13:27:28 2016509 Link
In my opinion the East and South divisional championships are a mockery. They have mixed the south championship up with a load of junior b teams. Its a complete farce. In the east you have to win 1 game and you make east semi final. In the city you have to win 3 or 4 matches to make a semi final at least. Same in the west. Askeaton are knocked out of the championship in the 1st week of July. How is that going to help that club progress?? Its about time the divisional boards were dismantled and made into an open draw competition with groups of 6 teams. These matches can be played on the same weekend as intermediate/senior matches. Also the junior should be 2 teams promoted/relegated from intermediate. Some of the teams playing intermediate have it too handy only needing 1 win to stay up. I was at an intermediate game lately that was like watching paint dry. There was easily 7 or 8 junior teams in Limerick that would beat either the 2 intermediate teams I watched play. brud (Limerick) - Posts: 943 - 15/07/2017 11:36:58 2016838 Link

It's a no brainier that an all county competition would be a much better set up for developing players but how long are we saying that and still nothing has changed so it's hard to see it happening bestisbest (Limerick) - Posts: 206 - 15/07/2017 12:29:06 2016860 Link

The Junior Hurling Championship should go all county. 20 teams. 4 groups of 5. 4 top teams into quarter finals. Second and third placed teams into second round. Bottom 4 in relegation playoff. A possible Championship could include Killeedy, Feenagh, Rathkeale, croagh, Monagea, Tour, Askeaton, Glantine, Patrickswell, St Pats, Crecora, Ballybrown, Doon, Ahane, Kilteely, Ballybricken, Caherline, Stakers, Kilmallock, Castletown. Now that would be a fair even championships with plenty of matches compared to the present situation where the championship is disjointed and uneven. Great if this happened but I would not hold my breath. record (Limerick) - Posts: 129 - 21/07/2017 10:09:19 2020406 Link

Big weekend in the east junior this weekend. Amazing to think that if Caherline( early favourites for county) lose to ahane this weekend they are out. Ballybricken and Doon should win other games. Goldenoldie (Limerick) - Posts: 78 - 28/07/2017 13:43:51 2024875 Link
Caherline, ballybricken and kilteely all had comfortable wins, east semi finals will be doon v ballybricken and kilteely v caherline. In the south kilmallock beat stakers comfortably and have their place for a county quarter final already bestisbest (Limerick) - Posts: 206 - 30/07/2017 15:16:54 2025911 Link

But the championships are difficult for players, playing the same 5-6 teams in the division each year. The Junior A level in Limerick has some excellent teams and it is probably time to put the skills of those players on a wider stage. slayer (Limerick) - Posts: 6480 - 31/07/2017 13:40:40 2026634 Link
Into the playoffs out west, Kileedy and Tournafulla in the semis and Rathkeale vs Templeglantain and Feenagh/Kilmeedy vs Monegae in the quarter finals. I think Monegae and Rathkeale will come through and after that its too hard to call all teams capable of beating each other. Its also very disappointing to see how far back Askeaton and Croagh/Kilfinny have fallen it wasnt that long those 2 clubs competed for wests and county titles.

Kilteely very strong this year, unbeaten and should win the east in my eyes, 2 good semi final match ups all the same! MunsterChampion (Limerick) - Posts: 84 - 31/07/2017 23:26:31 2027061 Link
