What about the u21 B championship bot teams in the final are clubs that have joined Killulta Gaels(Kildimo Pallaskenry) and then you have Hospital Herberstown and Kilteely Dromkeen...This has ruined the B championship for clubs that can field a 15 barley good eneough for this grade...shurly both teams should have played in the A championship and from what ive seen of them this year would give some of the teams a right good match!!

it is wrong with teams joining up like but still its not going to change and theres nothing we can do either... killulta are one parish anyway but the likes of st johns who are not a parish joining is a joke really!! alot of other teams could join up but dont for the sake of hurling... the teams that are parishes already are acceptable but the way its going everyone will join up!!! Imagine ballybrown and patrickswell joining up?? one parish like and if they joined they would win most things every year not a bother but for the sake of hurling they stay apart and have two fine teams... two good teams for half a parish in fairness, both dont have that much of a pick!! the joining up of some teams needs to stop but it does benefit some hurlers who are not apart of a hurling team good enough to play in the county.....

Will Ferell 09; sounds like sour grapes on your part..Kildimo and pallaskenry are 2 seperate clubs so it is an amalglamtion..don't forget that Killulta also have a plyer originally from kilcornan but has now signed for kildimo as kilcornan don't have a team..St johns is not a full amalglamtion, its hospital plus 4 kilteely players..no minors from kilteely were allowed join..there is a few of the kilteely minors that definately make the team...the fact is that with the 4 kilteely players, st johns had a panel of 21, take away 4 players and you have a panel of 17, a couple of injuries then means you are givin walkovers to everyone, getting fined by the county board and getting thrown out of the competition..the fact that st johns weren't in the A competition is solely the fault of the south board who decided it was best to put bruff (who are an amalglation aswel don't forget) and kilmallock straight into a final..if st johns hadn't been in the B, Killulta would have got another handy county title and we'd all be hearin about how great they are, better team won on the day, get over it...

st johns would beat most teams in the A , south boards fault......classy players in every line , they know how to hurl too and a great passion was shown within the side yesterday..... people were sayin it would be a hany final nfor the city slickers..... the true hurlin is in south east limerick.... teams in A in the city , west and east would not come out of the B in the south great teams i.e st johns , brureee, knockainey, garryspillane, blackrock , atlacca, croom ........

Theres a massive step up to A so until ye actually beat teams from the A grade then ye can say what ye want but i very much doubt st johns would have beaten any of the teams that were in the A quarter finals! They would give them a game but unfortunately for them there are two class teams from the south already and only two can progress to the county and id doubt that they would beat bruff or kilmallock at this age group!!

Will ferrel its nice to see you stand up for your neiobering parish for once. In all fairnes for all the rivallary that kildimo and ballybrown have i don't think there is one that wouldnt tip there hat at you over there being in your second A final in two years and whats even more amazing is the fact that youu really only have 15 hurlers that is what is getting the most out of a small group of players.

How is our ex kildimo clubman getting on with ye, When is he going to play senior with ye..??
Best of luck ballybrown next sunday

Two Hands, FYI Killulta beat both allaughlan gaels and NCW in challenge games...now i dont know what kind of team either had out on the day but Killulta weren't at full strength...don't think either of the B fianlists wud have been far off the pace in the A competition...it is down to the divisional boards to put these teams in the right grade, not the teams themselves or the county board...st johns beat killulta so that wud suggest that they were good enough to beat some of the A quarter finalists

longD (Limerick) - Posts: 66 - 06/12/2009 13:00:52    504704

That game against NCW was played with 12 a side so I wouldnt take much notice of that as players were unavailable for NCW (centre forward+centre back) Killuta depend on their centre back two midfielders and centre forward. I dont think they would be able to cope with teams with 15 good hurlers as they only have 5 maybe 6

NCW (Limerick) - Posts: 19 - 06/12/2009 17:05:26    504958

killulta beat allaughan gaels 15 on 15 and allaughan gaels beat ncw so i wouldnt say they are dependent on the 4 positions mentioned.When killulta beat ncw killulta had one player who doesnt play hurlin playing wing forward,their goalie was playin full forward and they were all missin their minors.i think their was 8 of their usual 15 playin that day..

nixboro (Limerick) - Posts: 29 - 06/12/2009 18:13:31    505072

Allaughan gaels were missing 5 or 6 that day in that game and ncw hadn't 15 the day they played and they were challenge games!!! I just believe st johns would not beat kilmallock or bruff in there division and killulta wouldn't beat ballybrown or the well in there division so there is a step up and challenge games are nothing to go by especially the two you have mentioned!

Don't get me wrong they have some fine players and should be in A if there amongst the good in there division but i just feel teams in there own division are better than them and you have to come out of your division first!! Im not saying they shouldn't be in the A grade but they would find it difficult to get out of there divisions so thats why it doesn't suprise me that there individual divisional boards put them into B!

cobby_lyons... great comment there ha!!!! dont agree with the joining up of teams not the same parish as i've said... i know kildimo and pallas had to join but still think should be in the A but nothing we can do now, its not going to change... ye mght join at junior/intermediate level aswel to have any chance of playing senior hurling, and i dont mean that in any way badly but kildimo struggling at intermediate and pallas struggling at junior... 2 young teams and if joined together maybe in a few years could be a force to reckon with...

and thanks for comment about next sunday its appreciated!!!!

U21 Hurling.
The U21 Championship is I think the best grade to watch but alas we are forced to see these lads in the months of October through to January each year. Was a neutral at the Sem ifinal of Kilmallock V Doon on saturday in Knocklong. The conditions for players and fans were atrocious with the rain and gales I thought it would be cancelled by the referee but in fairness to both teams they served up a very good game. The county board fixture committee should be trying to promote the GAA but having this competition at this time of the year is not the way to go about it. I know we didnt have a great summer again but how many Sat/Sundays were free right throughwhen these games could have been run off. Noticeably absent from Knocklong were the CB.

cobby_lyons seems to have very sour grapes towards ballybrown, jealosy is an awful thing. 2 county u21A finals in two years has to be looked favourably upon no matter where your from. i myself am a neutral in all this but think ballybrown have a fine side and have a good chance next sunday.

no sour grapes on my behalf, i acually wished them best of luck. i think what they have achieved is brillant with the size of the squad at their disposal, and looking forward for a good game next weekend. i'd have no problem if they were to stop in the street of kildimo with the cup on the way home.
but more than likely they would rather take it through patrikswell.
