When I saw that scoreline I nearly felt sorry for them... but then i remembered it's Kilkenny we're talking about. RebelCork (Cork) - Posts: 789 - 19/04/2014 18:14:40 1577118 Link 0 |
Money won't solve the problem in Kilkenny. It's about choices and nobody will convince them that any effort should into football if there's even the slightest chance even one potentially good hurler might prefer to kick rather than hurl. If no football is played or coached then he'll hurl. Onion Breath (Carlow) - Posts: 1412 - 19/04/2014 18:31:33 1577150 Link 0 |

In Leinster Kildare, Laois, Dublin, Meath, Wexford and Offaly go through to the quarter finals. The other 2 teams will come from the back door. In one pool Longford play Louth with the winners playing Carlow. In the other pool Kilkenny play Wicklow with the winners playing Westmeath. On the basis of that I'd expect Longford and Westmeath to advance to the quarter finals where I presume it is an open draw. daborder (Longford) - Posts: 58 - 20/04/2014 10:51:45 1577478 Link 0 |
I was very happy to see the that there is 3 teams in Leinster just as good as the dubs, I watched Meath play Wicklow off the pitch, they move the ball very well. Longford are strong and obviously the dubs but I'd have my money on Offaly to win Leinster this year don't forget Wexford though! and Westmeath are below average Louth and Carlow both poor teams. 3/4 of the Wicklow panel are underage next year they might cause problems for the big boys Victorious87 (Wicklow) - Posts: 597 - 24/04/2014 14:21:03 1579467 Link 0 |
Anyone from Munster know if any team can come near Kerry and cork I saw Clare beat limerick well the other night Victorious87 (Wicklow) - Posts: 597 - 24/04/2014 14:31:34 1579477 Link 0 |
just wondering what teams are looking good rhudson (Galway) - Posts: 1478 - 08/05/2014 18:02:52 1585486 Link 0 |
it's crazy that there is a back door system in Munster and Leinster but none in Ulster and connacht. how on earth can the GAA let this happen. I mean Kilkenny get 2 games whilst the likes of Derry or Roscommon may only get one. s goldrick (Cavan) - Posts: 5518 - 08/05/2014 19:41:15 1585535 Link 0 |
A bit crazy alright and its been like that for a number of year now. Kerry v Cork will be the Munster final this year where Kerry should win they will take on the Leinster winner Dublin or Longford IMO. Connacht looks like a Galway v Leitrim final this year while in Ulster probably Cavan,Tyrone look the most likely winners. Mr_Pundit (UK) - Posts: 677 - 09/05/2014 20:21:38 1585977 Link 0 |
How does it work lads? Is it the winners of Munster against the winners of Leinster ? Or is it winners against losers? KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 09/05/2014 21:36:14 1585989 Link 0 |

winners v loosers at the 1/4 final stage, the crazy part is you can have a team already beaten twice putting out a team unbeaten up to that stage. Minors should probably be used to trial any proposed change to the senior championship but as it stands its very unfair lillyboy (Kildare) - Posts: 429 - 11/05/2014 13:41:48 1586291 Link 0 |
I really think this year Kerry will end their minor famine, Jack O'Connor didnt push so hard to take this team over for nothing, as well as the fact of the Dingle crowd winning the hogan cup. Cork with Michael Hurley are their biggest threats, maybe not just for Munster but for the all ireland, early doors yet. Caseys89 (Limerick) - Posts: 80 - 11/05/2014 15:06:40 1586306 Link 0 |

I forgot to mention Donegal they will be there or thereabout in Ulster this year probably their best minor team since 2006. Mr_Pundit (UK) - Posts: 677 - 11/05/2014 19:17:24 1586397 Link 0 |
our minors are very much a work in progress, they play Longford next weekend and will go in as underdogs, that said if the make in thru they have scope for big improvement they longer they stay involved. lillyboy (Kildare) - Posts: 429 - 11/05/2014 21:29:38 1586459 Link 0 |
I'd be extremely surprised if Kerry don't make a serious impression on this years Minor Championship. Great bunch of players with the correct man in charge Horsebox77 (Kerry) - Posts: 5491 - 11/05/2014 21:47:38 1586466 Link 0 |

pound for pound Longford are arguably the best in Leinster, we're not losing to many to other sports, Kevin Feely and the Byrne brothers are the exception rather than the rule but against that not everyone would try garlic up here and just stick with the other codes lillyboy (Kildare) - Posts: 429 - 12/05/2014 09:35:26 1586489 Link 0 |
