on Saturday Armagh play Donegal , but they also play Westmeath in the quarter-final of the MHC B in Armagh at 12.00, now that game should be finished by 1.30, but wouldn't it be great to play the fixture in Croke Park before what will be a sell out - rather than rushing down the road after the game to get into Dublin on a Saturday afternoon..... cuchulainn35 (Armagh) - Posts: 1671 - 06/08/2014 14:45:32 1632482 Link 0 |
What kind of a team have ye? Westmeath should be strong at this level... keeper7 (Longford) - Posts: 4088 - 06/08/2014 15:02:40 1632493 Link 0 |
Our minor hurlers are playing the same day too.. If they fixed Armagh - Westmeath for Croke Park then they would also have to allow Donegal - Roscommon play there too. Making it a quadruple header!! Could it have been possible or too much?? One at 12, one at 1.30, then Armagh - Donegal at 4 HandballRef (Donegal) - Posts: 520 - 06/08/2014 15:21:27 1632504 Link 0 |
Could Donegal V Roscommon minor hurlers have been played before their minor footballers last weekend or are there dual players involved with both? keeper7 (Longford) - Posts: 4088 - 06/08/2014 15:38:49 1632514 Link 0 |
Think there's a few dual players alright, Jamie Brennan is a serious Hurler. I'd imagine Colm Kelly too is in the Hurling Squad. HandballRef (Donegal) - Posts: 520 - 06/08/2014 16:19:29 1632541 Link 0 |
This has got me thinking, has there ever been a year where the 8 senior football quarter finalists and 8 minor football quarter finalists were totally different? i.e. no county reached both the senior and minor QFs. I'd imagine with Kerry and Cork's domination of Munster the chances of neither of them making the minor provincial final is slim.

Seems I made a mistake,I thought the hurling match was Armagh-Donegal, aside from the "drawing each other" bit, my point still stands. CastleBravo (Meath) - Posts: 1643 - 06/08/2014 16:44:03 1632566 Link 0 |

Donegal are making strides in hurling, Benny. Their U16s compete at 'B' level & they send an U15 squad to compete at U16 'C'. That's fairly progressive, IMO. keeper7 (Longford) - Posts: 4088 - 06/08/2014 18:09:42 1632621 Link 0 |

It was just a suggestion, it would be a great promotional tool for the underage hurlers from where ever they are from, cuchulainn35 (Armagh) - Posts: 1671 - 06/08/2014 18:49:07 1632642 Link 0 |
