That was without the Naas cohort who make up a large portion of the team, in fairness

Considering the year before the Kerry hammering Kildare were Ring cup winners beating Kerry in the final - I wouldn't read anything much into one result years ago. Kildare were competitive in the McDonagh last year and would be this year as well. There's a lot of good work being done in the county and it's starting to pay dividends. brianb (Kildare) - Posts: 278 - 10/05/2022 20:07:40 2416384 Link 0 |
It's quite odd. Did Monaghan have any "import" players? Other than that I don't know how a player would be considered ineligible."]As a Leitrimer I'm obviously happy that this gives us more breathing room at the business end of the table. But the execution of the punishment (I.e. simply declaring no result) isn't fair. Imagine a team has a one point advantage ahead of their opponents whom they play in the last round. They could play an excellent but ineligible player, safe in the knowledge that if it works out and they win and have a 3 point lead at the end of the group stage and then get caught, then they'll still have that one point leafvat the top of the table, rather than playing without the excellent but illegal player and actually losing the match.

Which shows tiers doesn't stop hammerings. I'd wonder will some journalists and pundits ever realise that when talking about hammerings in football? After a very difficult 2021 it's good that our hurlers are finishing the season with a Croke Park final with the opportunity to win a 2nd trophy this year. Unlucky not to be promoted in the league (daft format whereby the top two didn't reach the final). The_analyser (Roscommon) - Posts: 3742 - 17/05/2022 17:10:36 2418209 Link 1 |

Wouldn't blame the player as he wouldn't have known the rule. It's a big slip up by the county board. MrPBoylan (Monaghan) - Posts: 109 - 20/05/2022 11:34:08 2418889 Link 0 |
Best of luck to the Mayo hurlers tomorrow. Rank 10/1 outsiders…but I'm gonna head up and support them anyway. A win would be an unbelievable lift for Mayo hurling. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11227 - 20/05/2022 21:48:14 2419084 Link 3 |
