Interesting times ahead Tipperary,Dublin,,Laois,Westmeath so far. Am I correct in saying Christy Ring cup winners enter at this point also and there is some sort of play off? WildPundit (Tipperary) - Posts: 1709 - 29/05/2017 19:07:46 1991926 Link 0 |
I think there could be alot of confusion around this in the next month or so. In any copy of this years fixture list I've seen, the Christy Ring winner is scheduled to face a leinster QF loser in a prelim qualifier on June 24th, 2017 (how they'd determine which Leinster QF loser, I don't know). However, apparently, congress decided in February to postpone having this come into effect until next year, even though it had been approved the previous year, and the fixture schedule for 2017 made accordingly. I think. See Onion Breath's post in the following thread: http://www.hoganstand.com/Forum/MessagePage.aspx?TopicID=100332 Marlon_JD (Tipperary) - Posts: 1823 - 29/05/2017 20:31:21 1991945 Link 0 |
The Christy Ring winners play one of the beaten Leinster quarter-finalists in the preliminary round. The winners will join the other beaten quarter-finalists and semi-finalists from both Munster and Leinster in the first round proper. The 3 teams from the Munster championship will be kept apart in the first round. The game involving the losers of Kilkenny v Wexford will probably be the tie of the round.

The fixture list on www.gaa.ie still has the Christy Ring winners down to play a Leinster team on June 24th. Anyone know for sure if this is going ahead or not?

Well surely if it is on the GAA website that means it is going ahead? Or is this an indication of in what low esteem people regard the GAA website?!!!!

Where did you hear that the three Munster teams will be kept apart? Unless Cork lose their semi final, Tipp won't have faced any of the other two Munster semi final losers. If results go as expected and the Christy ring winners are beaten in the preliminary round, then round 1 will be: Tipp Dublin Westmeath Laois Vs Wexford Waterford Limerick Offaly The only pairings that would be have to be avoided if drawn would be Westmeath vs Offaly and Wexford vs Laois.

The four winners from rd 1 would then be drawn against each other,avoiding repeat pairings where possible,the two winners would then face the 2 beaten provincial finalists,avoiding repeat pairings where possible.two winners play provincial champions to decide final pairing. cornetto (Galway) - Posts: 223 - 31/05/2017 01:34:37 1992474 Link 0 |
I hope them qualifier pairings are correct,I have not seen anything elsewhere,to say they are wrong, but has anyone else come up with anything online?? cornetto (Galway) - Posts: 223 - 01/06/2017 14:51:57 1993090 Link 0 |
