Club Championships 2017

(Oldest Posts First) - Go To The Latest Post


Senior
Sarsfields v Shelmaliers Easy win for shels, Sars seem destined for a relegation final.
Starlights v Glynn Glynn should win but need to be more clinical this week, Glynn by 4 or 5
Castletown v Annes Castletown to set an early marker here. Cert of the weekend
St James v Gusserane Too closto call, tentative vote for the 2015 champions but could be draw
Martins v Horeswood Martins comfortably
Taghmon v Fethard Fethard to win this in third gear, Taghmon on course to a final showdown with sarsfields already

Intermediate
Bunclody v Fintans Fintans to bounce back after a disapointing loss the weekend with a 4 or 5 point win here
Marys Rosslare v Adamstown Rosslare with a surprise the weekend so could be closer than I would have thought last week. Still will go with adamstown by a couple.
Ferns v Clongeen Ferns by 3
Marys Maudlintown v Josephs If the soccer was over it would be game of the weekend. Still a must attend game for anybody near the town. Maudlintown will win this comfortable though with the soccer on and I look to be on the ball wih Marys having a big impact in this years champ.
Duffry v Bannow Bannow were surprisingly close to Kilanerin the weekend. I will go with Bannow but dont rule out the draw
Ballyhogue v Kilanerin Kilanerin to go 2 for 2. Ballyhogue are going to struggle

Wouldn't be handing out any medals yet the last 2 winners both struggled at times in the group section in those years although both runners up would argue they left those finals behind them,I think it's as open a championship as ever

This is true but lightning cant strike three times on the trot I dont think. I cant see a shock like the last couple of years happening this year. The one thing Castletown have in their favour is that they are not a senior duel club and will actually be playing plenty of football so cant imagine they will be rusty like Martins and Glynn were the last couple years. I would have them odds on favorites if Martins and Glynn make good starts in the hurling.

By all accounts brosnan and devine have little or no links to the castletown parish . with wexford town clubs the transfers are a farce but all the players are from the town

Or Horeswood, probably the greatest beneficiary of outside players

Was In the park Sunday for intermediate games 4 poor teams bannow were very disappointing clearly missing brosnan, harney was very good as was the bannow keeper kept them In the game. Fintans started well against rosslare conor sinnott got a great goal but Rosslare stepped it up In 2nd half with David Murphy and Lee devereux pulling the strings. Intermediate is very hard to call there's no standout teams.

Not too sure if I would agree with the 2015/2016 champions being a shock. St James were the better team on the day they won the championship and had a very strong well drilled team, they also had a good run at Leinster in Intermediate before winning the senior title.
Gusserane ran a strong St Annes team very close in the 2014 final and any team that has the athleticism and skill to score 6 points on the trot in the last 12 minutes of a county senior final sound like deserving champions to me.
Too early to call at this stage, the teams in form after summer are the only indication

Senior hurling
Cloughbawn v Rathnure Hard to call but I will say cloughbawn will continue their recent dominance over their neighbours
Oulart v Martins I am going to make a bold claim and give the nod to Martins
Rapps v Harriers Possible draw i think here but will just side with Harriers
Glynn v Alley Glynn to win by 5 or 6
Ferns v Naomh Eanna Ferns by 4
Oylegate v Shels Shels with biggest win of weekend

Verdict Going to go against oulart this year and believe that Martins or Glynn could win it. Dont be surprised to see oulart out before semis with shels and naomh eanna outsiders for a good run. I will go with glynn to beat martins in final.

Intermediate
Cushinstown v Shamrocks
Adamstown v Monageer
Crossabeg v Blackwater
Craanford v Bunclody
Annes v Askamore
St James v Ballygarret

Verdict St Annes to win, simple.

Footballers playing carlow in 2 weeks as well,if those players were playing club games a week before leinster championship there would be war

A delayed start to club championship is a price were paying for a decent league run so I won't complain
