Replying To ImokillyMan:  "But does that mean that Rathkeale could win the county, take part in the Munster comp n still not b west champions. Would they lose it all then if Feenagh beat them in west replay?"
A very likely scenario if Rkeale were to win the county but result of West final would have no bearing on county championship. The West only serves as a qualifier for county competition. Both west finalists take part in county championship

Hopefully Pats or Rathkeale do manage to win the county, whilst its great to see Na Piarsaigh & Kilmallock as strong as they are, having second teams intermediate isn't the same.

Think Rathkeale missed there chance, It was a fine game last weekend hoping for another one this weekend.

Cracking match again today, another draw after extra time Rathkeale 3-17 KIlmallock 3-17. Great hurling by both sides

Replay Wednesday night , Final is down for next weekend . Be better if they pushed it another week give Wednesdays nights winners a chance to get ready for final but Rathkeale or Pats are down to play Waterford Champions the following weekend.

Either team would beat Pats. A 3 day turn swings the advantage back to Pats.

Unfair advantage!

Did St Pats not have the same problem last last year in playing 3 games v Caherline? If anything more hurling the better. Id disagree with the unfair part,thats the nature of championship ... If either team was good enough they would have the job done now and not have to worry about replays. St Patricks got the job done already and against a highly fancied team. Again they will be written off in the final against Kilmallock or Rathkeale i would think

The talk was Killmallock were good things for the Junior championship, certainly Rathkeale have shown theres plenty of good hurlers in their parish and plenty of them young men.

Pats had a week to recover from the Munster Qtr final. looked like they took it easy so as to be competitive in the co final Mayfield 4-34 St Patricks 2-2.
Asking two teams to play 3 games to decide a county title in 6 days is unfair. Two teams training hard all year deserve a week between games. You would expect games to be close at the final stages of the championship and its it the duty of the county board to keep the playing field as level as possible. it is an amateur sport.

I was there today and enjoyed a good competitive game. thought the standard raised a notch from the last game. Kilmallock stole it last week and Rathkeale stole it this week. Hopefully the weather will not hamper the Wednesday night game, too close to call but hope its as good as the previous two.

St pats will be more than a hand full for either team that gets to the final. Write them off at your peril.

I would disagree if you are good enough you would win a game and not worry about a replay or a tournaround etc. Again that is nature of a championship and again on all known form the winner of Rathkeale and Kilmallock will win final at a canter, seem to be just too good.

St Pat's are favorites,it's there final to lose, they are ah very good side,right balance across the field,cant see the two other teams beaten them,,they will have 5+ points win against either team,be great to see them intermediate for city hurling.

Well done City man(Claughaun man) good stuff but no one would take your post serious. The standard of Rathkeale and Kilmallock means they only have to turn up

Not at all. Im delighted Na Piarsaigh won today. Just maybe think you are trying to build up st pats for some reason when its clear they would not be favourites.

Do I have the banter with St Pat's yes,but let's be honest we won a county championship yesterday with them,we are joined from U13 to U21 at hurling,I think your trying to talk them down,I would do the same with my club,but facts are facts,St Patrick's are favorites and we are looking forward to playing them next year,which can only be good for city hurling,which I hope you agree is on it's knees

I'm assuming when you say city hurling on its knees you mean inner city as remember nap are a city team too. It would be great if st pats or indeed rathkeale won it out imo as to who will win it out it's hard to say but feenagh and rathkeale drew as have kilmallock and rathkeale yet pats thrashed feenagh so it's obvious st pats will win it out. If only it was that simple.

On current form it is hard to look beyond Pat's. They have been building up this team for the past number of years and will take some beating. As others have said it can only be good for inner city hurling.

Monaleen also making great strides in hurling and St Patricks improving. Claughaun prob on its knees yes as have folded and would be junior only for Old Christians. I know you are doing good work yourself city gael but it is difficult.
