Bit unfair to the teams who had warm up done and had to go back into dressing rooms.

The queues were building well before 7pm so they could have done something then

But that aside it was a great atmosphere

Very disorganised considering tickets were bought online , so had a fair idea of crowd numbers

Awful tactics used last night and would have to feel sorry for the young lads

Probably their best display this year.  More fight in them than any other game.

Accuracy is a big problem at the minute, but on a positive note Sean Downey gave an excellent display

Well done County Board.  Handled wonderfully

Feel so sorry for the lads who committed themselves during the tough times and now just when they see a bit of hope this happens

I would be very wary of the County Board doing the right thing next week.   They have an arrogance about them that will be hard to change.

This week should have been about how well the team did last week and how much they have improved under Eddie Brennan but unfortunately this has been pushed aside .  How much say have the players about the role of Eddie Brennan I wonder. (doubt they have any ) .  This should be taken into consideration before any decision will be made

As I was saying earlier, you can't say that having 50 people at a match is more dangerous than 100 people in a shop, say Penney's or Eason's

But keeping the shop open is more important than having 50 people at a match



This is the key issue.  The economy needs to be kept going or we will be in deep trouble.  Jobs are way more important than activities now. The real fear now is the winter months and the capacity of our hospitals to cope

I went to the 1st round of our championship and I have to say there was no social distancing whatsover. Everyone mingling on the way and the way out and was def more there than the recommended number.

I know factories are a big problem but we have to try keep business' open and people in jobs.  The government really need to look at provision centres and accommodation for these workers where there are just too many people living together.

Absolutely - jobs are way more important than activities now.

But are jobs way more important than health/life/death?

Based on the decision to close open air events but keep airports/pubs/restaurants open then it is a resounding 'yes' jobs are more important than living or dying.

If anyone thinks that by doing this it will reduce the spread of Covid (while keeping everything else open) they are living in cuckoo land.

This time next week teachers can sit in an enclosed space all day with 30 kids from different households - but cant stand outside for an hour by themselves to watch a sporting event


Do you not think they are putting restrictions in as many places as possible so that the children can actually get back to school

Parents shouting a month ago that schools should be open and now on shouting for schools not to open. 

Restrict as much social interaction as possible so that our  children can get back to school and see how this goes.

And by the way I dont have any children in school but I really think this is a priority right now not how social restricions are affecting adults .  We are adults , we can do this and we understand why we have to do this.

The last thing we need is another full lockdown, both from a financial and mental point of view

The issue of workers living in over crowded accommodation needs to be addressed and sorted ASAP. Direct provision centres need to be sorted as well.

Factories and other large industries need to have random inspections and not pre notified ones.

I'm trying to decide whether or not to get up at 5:30 am this Sunday morning, here, to watch the Leinster Club Senior Hurling Final. Will it be a crackin' match or will it be a score of doe-eyed lads running head-long into a buzz saw?


Mossy it will be worth getting up at that time just to see TJ Reid in action

A great display from R/E. Great game for this time of the year

They will be bitterly disappointed with the way it ended but they have had a fantastic year and represented the county with honesty and hard work and great hurling. They are a joy to watch and to see a game from start to finish with not one dirty stroke is a testament to 2 great teams .

Best of luck to St Mullins in the final.

I think the final is going to be very close and will possibly come down to which free taker is on top form on the day

How on earth did he not get in the faces of some of the snapchat heroes from last year after the final whistle?! He's a bigger man than the whole lot of them put together.

Commendable restraint shown by him all right for once, one of the good guys proved that revenge is a dish best served cold

Experience or not his management, selection process and training methods for the last 3 years have been nothing short of a disgrace. There's a clear club bias from people I've talked in the know.
Hopefully Derek mcgrath will change that and be allowed to fulfill the roll without the parochial bullshit that goes on in this county.

What's in this for McGrath ? Would this not be a step down for him ?

This parochial bullshit has been going on a while and the lack of trials going on a few years now and nothing done about it

The county board need to get their act together.  There is no point in bringing in big names if the same people are running things the way they want it and not how it should be .

Is Paudie Maher ok lads? He took an awful clatter I'd say, the poor owl divil.


I'd imagine he'll be out for the final !
