[Ballyhale may not return]

That and McManus won't have much left in him and he will be impossible to replace. That was the best chance cushendall will get at an all Ireland 

Not necessarily. Ballyhale may not return. The championship may be open for a few years. Who learns the most wins.

"They hit 4 wides in a row at a crucial time in the 2nd half, from the camera side of the pitch."

 It is all about the iterations. You have to be the best to win an all Ireland hurling championship.  No reason the Dall can't do it.

The Shamrocks (proper name) will definitely be back. They only lost by a disputed point to O'Loughlins who are now in the final. The Shamrocks will have Darren Mullen, Brian Cody, Joe Cuddihy and Ronan Corcoran back next year. Possibly Joey Holden as well although he may be finished now. All these have been Kilkenny panellists and will greatly add to their team. They would be my favourites right now to win Kilkenny 2024 and club all ireland 2025.

anywan at convnetion last nite will seen why we are where weRe.

What happened?

We beat Tipp. Encouraging

8 team championship with just one group.
7 League games.
Only the final in O'Moore Park.
Very few meaningless games as there is nearly always potential to get to the first two or be in the bottom two. Always something to aim for.
Some potentially cracking games at regional venues in the knockout stages.
One drawback is the calendar. Is there room for 10 weekends of senior hurling? (Maybe not)

Knockout
First and Second through to the semi final with home advantage in the semi final.

First Round Knockout
Third at home to Sixth
Fourth at home to Fifth

Relegation Playoff
Seventh v Eight at a neutral venue

Semi Final
First and Second in Pot 1 (Home venue guaranteed)
First Round Winners in Pot 2

Good win for mountrath CS today in the A1 junior final v Enniscorthy

Well done to Mountrath CS. AN excellent hurling school.

Have the management teams for the Laois minors and U21s for 2024 been sorted

Big game and a big defeat unfortunately.

Very positive re the schools. It worked to Offaly's benefit. Why was it stopped anyhow as they have previously had a schools team in hurling?

Abbeyleix v Harps in U20.

Both teams continue to produce winning underage teams.

It was there in the past and worked well but I think it was stopped due to costs.

Why "rightly so"?
Are they too big to be bothering with that stupid little Leinster Championship?

When are Camross out in Leinster?

Any news on the Senior hurlers backroom team?

Is there any hope Mick Dempsey would take on the job?

Down to 4 candidates according to Laoistoday:
Arles-Killeen's Billy O'Loughlin, Courtwood's Eddie Kinsella, Former Laois player and current Laois Gaels Chairman, O'Dempsey's Leo Turley, and former Naas and Thomas Davis (Dublin) manager Paul Kelly.

Who'd be favourite there? Kinsella??

As expected by those who know. And we were led to believe that Laois were better than Galway.

Some lads need to realise that it is better to say nothing and let people think you're stupid than to speak and remove all doubt.

Eddie Kinsella Jesus

Never heard of him.
Is he any relation of Gabriel Jesus that plays with Arsenal?
