TG4 - Club Championships Coverage

[Captain Obvious]

Shane Walsh transfer won the Dublin County title for Kilmacud Crokes.

[Wildweasel74]

They were strong enough without him, but with Mannion out, they wouldn't have won today without Walsh. I say if Mannion played against Kilcoo last Yr they have won, if both himself and Walsh were fit, they been raging hot favourites for the club all-Ireland.

should they not have a 32 team open draw senior championship instead of  two seniors

Pretty sure it's not allowed any more. Didn't Croke Park set a maximum number of clubs per tier? I live in Dublin and go to as many club games as I can. There are not 32 senior quality teams. Certainly more than 16 , but with 32 the gap from top to bottom is too big.
Regarding "doing themselves" when it comes to Leinster intermediate and junior. I'm not sure they care.

[Rossfan]

Isn't it 16 Senior max allowed from here on.
Cork and HQ at odds as Cork have 12 Premier Senior and 12 Senior A teams in both hurling and football.
The Premier and A are separate competitions.
There are around 250 Clubs in Cork.

Kilruane MacDonaghs Hurling club is named after Thomas MacDonagh, one of the leaders of the 1916 rising.

There is a tradition in the parish that a great team of hurlers flourished in the area long before the G.A.A.was founded in 1884. We are told that during the 1798 rebellion there was much activity among the local people and when the cause was finally lost those hurlers called themselves the 98's to commerate their heroes of 1798. This team is reputed to have lasted up to about 1890.

A meeting was held in late 1900 in Balinamurra; its not certain in whose home it was held, where the name Lahorna De Wets was chosen in memory of the South African general De Wet, who had given the British forces such a rough time in the Boer war.

End of the De Wets – 1908 to 1912
Once again De Wets came out on top in the North Tipp. championship. The county semi-final was fixed for Roscrea, and the opponents were, once again, Thurles. For some unknown reason the De Wets were very late onto the Roscrea field. They looked like men in a trance and played as such. The second half was nearly over and Thurles were leading by 5-13 to 1-4 when Lahorna De Wets walked off the field. It was surely their darkest hour and one from which they never recovered.

Kilruane MacDonaghs
In 1935 and 1936 a serious effort got underway to unite all the junior teams in Cloughjordan parish, to form a worthwhile senior club. A number of meetings were arranged, many ending in widescale disagreement between the parties involved.

Finally the name Thomas MacDonagh was used as the unifying force. By 1937 most of the teams in Cloughjordan parish came in under the banner of the 1916 leader, and are known today as Kilruane MacDonaghs.

The game of hurling was played in the Nenagh District long before the foundation of the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1884. A landed gentleman named George Stoney of Borrisokane recorded in his diary on 9 September 1765 that he " went to the hurling at Carney ". Unfortunately he did not elaborate any further on the event. The English writer Arthur Young described " a very ancient custom " still popular in the Portroe area in the year 1777. When a young girl was of marriagable age, the neighbours came together and organised a hurling match for which she was " the prize of the victor ". After Mass on the appointed Sunday the people first visited the girl's home, where she was expected to entertain them with cider and whiskey. The hurling then commenced and the winning captain carried off the young woman as his bride. Yong noted that these matches often extended over two or three Sunday's and that sometimes one barony hurled against another.He described the game of hurling " as a sort of cricket, but instead of throwing the ball in order to knock down the wicket, tha aim is to pass it through a bent stick, the ends stuck in the ground".

There is a newspaper report of an intended match between a Clare selection and a team from " the parishes of Kilbarron and Mountsea in the county Tipperary " in a field near Whitegate on the Clare side of Lough Derg on 22 September 1825. The local magistrate, rev. Mr. Huleatt, arrived with ten of the Whitegate police to halt the proceedings, but the five hundred local people assembled for the match refused to go home. At about six o' clock a large crowd arrived by boat from Tipperary and were apprised of the situation by the Clare people. " Both immediately formed one body, armed themselves on the beach with stones, and advanced furiously on the police". The newspaper reported that " the Rev. Gentleman himself had his arm and his side desperately battered, and the police were wounded in every direction".

The Nenagh Guardian gave lengthy coverage to " the disgraceful and unseemly proceedings" at a match at Ballyanny on a Sunday in 1856. The match - described as " a game of hurling between townspeople and country people" - had been fixed for Annbrook, Nenagh, the previous week, but the police had intervened and dispersed the gathering. Foiled in their attempt, the parties met the following Sunday in a field in Ballyanny. The newspaper reported that " the contest for superiority was carried out with the utmost vigour and in the best spirt till a country man shouted in triumph for his party". This infuriated the Nenagh players and " soon the hurlbats on both sides were converted in skull crackers and limb breakers". A general brawl ensued and many of the players were carried from the field in " a state of insensibility ". The melee ended when the outnumbered townsmen " beat a speedy retreat " from the field. Their country opponents were so eager to continue the fight that they pursued them part of the road home.

The Lahorna De Wets dominated North Tipperary during the opening decade of the twentieth century. The club fielded not only a senior team but a successful junior side also. For instance, in the 1904 junior final at Borrisokane, De Wets defeated Toomevara by a score of 6-9 to 0-0. The name "De Wet" came from the famous Boer War general and reflected the strong anti-British sentiment prevelant in Ireland at the time. Lahorna ( or Loughourna ) is, of course, the name of a townland in the parish. Most of the De Wets hailed from the neighbouring parish of Kilruane, but Mick Moloughney and Dan Ryan were both prominent members of the senior team during its decade of success.


Killadangan,now the parish club, was formed at a meeting in Puckane school on Thursday 18 November 1915. The attendance was divided on the name for the new club : some favoured Carney; others wanted Ballycommon; a few wished to revive the old name, Knigh. Finally, John Blake, the Puckane publican, put a pound subscription on the table, suggested Killadangan, and this was agreed to.

It's the second tier. Which in most counties is called Intermediate. It's two up two down, so the loser today is already promoted.

Or in Kerry they call it the Junior Championship!!!

[johnnycool]

Kilkenny referee shows a red card, I never thought it possible going by previous years...

I'm surprised Brian Cody didn't tell the referee to keep the Ballyhale lad on the park in the name of manly hurling..

Fierce wild pull all the same.

Au contraire, it's the last chance to see both of these teams in action so it's great to see the footballer of the year, man of the match in the All-Ireland final and the man of the match in the league final in the county final of the All-Ireland champions.

[RandyDupree]

Who in their right mind would watch that sh*te. Mid Kerry Vs east Kerry LOL sounds like some sort of charity soccer aid thing to open a new pitch. Winner can't even enter the muster championship for Christ sake. A farce.

[Rossfan]

Them Kerry crowd haven't a clue how to do things.
No wonder they never win anything
