Thinks st olivers will have a say on that. They play in derby tonight.
Na fianna look best in div 1

never spotted that . that should be a cracker of a game . Think Oldcastle will win though. Na Fianna look good having won the league and under 17 and seem to be a real ream with no real stand out players but Colmcilles have James Conlon a serious threat

Devine is a really good player for Na Fianna.

Best of luck to the Kilbride minors in their final tomorrow.
Some phenomenal work being done in underage in the club.

Yes Devine is ok enough but this Conlon lad is very good and in Pairc Tailteann with all the Space he could have a field day. . Na Fianna full forward also a brilliant player and will need to be Marshalled and if do they will win. Vincents/Curraha might be a shade too strong for St. Olivers I think but should be close.Trim will win the hurling just about. Clann na Gael & Ballivor/Boardmill I am not sure

Anyone that came early for the senior final saw a treat of a game. Kildalkey bossed the first half with the wind bit Trim turned it around and looked like they were heading for victory but a dogged resistance from Kildalkey resulted in a deserved draw that neither team deserved to lose.

Best on display were Leavy and Farrell for Trim and Potterton for Kildalkey.

Didn't make the games with work but was told this morning that the second half in the minor was the best half of hurling by both sides seen in years
The senior wasn't to far behind it
Any truth

Worth the 15€ alone just to see the minor game yesterday. What an absolute treat of hurling. Kildalkey looked home and hosed at half time but Trims leaders really stood up in the second half Mickey Cullen and ( watch out Shane McGan) Charlie Ennis were brilliant. Nicky potterran led the Kildalkey charge and was brilliant throughout. I feel Kildalkey may have blown there chance, roll on the replay.

Is free to play as far as I know as he picked up 2 yellows. However will miss the game through injury. Will be a tight affair. Both sides play a good brand of football

I was at the trim game and yes it was a straight red. If he is able to play Monday it makes a mockery of the whole system.

A 4 point win for Cilles and I think they scored the last 1-4 of the game. 0-10 from Conlon. In the semi final and final combined he scored 0-21. Phenomenal scoring. I hope eventually he can make the jump to inter county senior. He is brilliant on the ball but like Joey Wallace may suffer from not being able to get on the ball.

Hi while I will be the first to congratulate the team on winning.I hope that our freinds in cilles controll their social media twitter and local media output. I hope they dont make the mistake that has been done before of ego boosting young lads and not allow healthy development take place.Over the last 10 years social media has allowed non trained journalists to take to the air and blow and blow and create stages where young adults can so easily fall off . Secondly I hope that the club when there celebration all die down reflect why did it take 28 years to win any major title. Despite constantly talking about huge potential population growths how many talented players where nurtured or more importantly how many turned and where lost by over egoistic coaches who where given a free hand by administrators

Get a grip. They've had a super year. They should celebrate anyway they see fit.

Here, here eastmeath90 I was driving through mornington the other day and even saw flags/bunting up... Such outward displays of pride should be deemed a fineable offence by the county board, is it not one of the seven deadly sins!!

Conlon has a lot more to his game than Joey Wallace imo.
