isnt it so ridiculous that the provincial nonsense still prevails at this level? we end up with far too many lop-sided finals as a result. the final should be the 2 best teams in the country.or the 2 teams who survive a marathon championship. perfect10 (Wexford) - Posts: 3929 - 10/11/2016 17:11:13 1933388 Link
Well lads and lassies, it's back to the hurling this week. How will the games go? Sunday 20 November Leinster club SHC semi-finals Oulart-The Ballagh (Wexford) v O'Loughlin Gaels (Kilkenny), Innovate Wexford Park, 2pm St Mullins (Carlow) v Cuala (Dublin), Netwatch Cullen Park, 2pm Munster club SHC final Glen Rovers (Cork) v Ballyea (Clare), Semple Stadium, 2pm PortInFaithful (Offaly) - Posts: 472 - 14/11/2016 15:15:34 1934177 Link
Hard to look past Cuala, but the other two matches could go either way. Cork hurling could do with an injection but Ballyea were relentless in the semi - Ballyea win. Oulart will have their hands full and although won easy in semi weren't AI material that day - OLG win. Brian_Coyote (Antrim) - Posts: 346 - 14/11/2016 15:32:37 1934183 Link

Replying To keeper7: "Cuala, Oulart & Ballyea." I'll second them results. Although the Munster game will be very close I'd expect. As I said a few weeks ago I strongly fancy Oulart this year and they should be too good for O'Loughlin Gaels tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 15/11/2016 08:48:30 1934287 Link
Replying To tiobraid: "I'll second them results. Although the Munster game will be very close I'd expect. As I said a few weeks ago I strongly fancy Oulart this year and they should be too good for O'Loughlin Gaels" A word of caution to Cuala travelling to Dr Cullen Park. I remember Ballyboden St Endas coming unstuck against Mount Leinster Rangers there not that many years ago. clonjon (Dublin) - Posts: 665 - 15/11/2016 17:28:07 1934439 Link

Munster final is 50/50. If TK gets into the game early it could be Ballyea's day. jj72 (Kildare) - Posts: 53 - 16/11/2016 12:55:25 1934661 Link
Replying To jj72: "I agree Oulart are strong and fancy them to win Leinster and possibly the All Ireland. Munster final is 50/50. If TK gets into the game early it could be Ballyea's day." Oulart remind me of Thurles.Nearly always flatter to deceive once they win their respective county championships.They are not reliable by any means.Sunday could go either way although playing in Wexford Park should do them no harm. cuederocket (Dublin) - Posts: 5084 - 16/11/2016 13:22:29 1934670 Link
I think winning Leinster last year was a major monkey off Oulart's back & they have never feared Kilkenny opposition. keeper7 (Longford) - Posts: 4088 - 16/11/2016 14:58:43 1934712 Link
Replying To keeper7: "I think winning Leinster last year was a major monkey off Oulart's back & they have never feared Kilkenny opposition." Yea,club is a great leveller in that regard.Until they get to an All Ire final though,i wont trust Oulart.Same with Thurles.I wouldn't lile to be waiting on a big accumulator on either of them.Best avoided.In saying that,i hope they win on Sunday. cuederocket (Dublin) - Posts: 5084 - 16/11/2016 15:07:50 1934718 Link
I'll go with Ballyea, Cuala and Oulart but would not be at all surprised if we have extra time in all three games. Lots of action in the intermediate grade this weekend too: Saturday 19 November Munster club IHC final Lismore (Waterford) v Kilmoyley (Kerry), Mallow, 2pm Leinster club IHC semi-finals Bray Emmets (Wicklow) v Celbridge (Kildare), Bray Emmets GAA, 2pm Kiltale (Meath) v Carrickshock (Kilkenny), Trim, 2pm Sunday 20 November Ulster club IHC final Cloughmills (Antrim) v Eoghan Rua (Derry), Ballymena, 1pm Connacht champions Ahascragh Fohenagh await in the semi-finals with the Ulster winners playing London champions Robert Emmetts in the quarters next month.

In fairness to Oulart, they really put it up to NaP's in the All-Ireland semifinal. keeper7 (Longford) - Posts: 4088 - 16/11/2016 17:11:47 1934768 Link
Replying To keeper7: "In fairness to Oulart, they really put it up to NaP's in the All-Ireland semifinal." But still lost.Moral victories are no good for a team that lost so many (was it 4 or 5?) provincial finals.It's time for Oulart to be beating the likes of Na Piarsaigh,not putting it up to them.But whether they are able to is another matter. cuederocket (Dublin) - Posts: 5084 - 16/11/2016 17:23:56 1934771 Link

"The likes of Na Piarsaigh"??? They won 3 Munsters in 4 years & won the All-Ireland at a canter. Oulart brought them to extra-time! keeper7 (Longford) - Posts: 4088 - 16/11/2016 23:54:27 1934935 Link

And still lost!And have lost 4 out of 5 Leinster finals!A very poor 20% success rate in provincial finals.Maybe you think i'm being harsh,but for me anyway,Oulart have flattered to deceive on quite a few occassions.Lets see how they perform on Sunday. cuederocket (Dublin) - Posts: 5084 - 17/11/2016 00:08:01 1934940 Link
Replying To Brian_Coyote: "Also Slaughneill are waiting!!!!" Hon Slaughneil, if they're going to lose to anyone I'd prefer SN! Any idea what the overlap of players between the football and hurling teams is? The_DOC (Galway) - Posts: 708 - 17/11/2016 11:51:13 1935030 Link
Replying To The_DOC: "......meanwhile St Thomas's lurk in the long grass" And they will get stuck in the long grass I'd suspect. Can't see them winning it at all from what I have seen tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 17/11/2016 12:14:35 1935041 Link
