Quote from: burdizzo on March 23, 2024, 09:02:25 PMYes, some good hurling, all right. However, even though they scored 1-24, they surely left another 3-20 behind them. Need to be a lot more clinical - and need a proper free-taker, too. Surprised King didn't step up to them, but his first game back was only middling. Impressed by Quinlan, Dooley, and Mossy Keyes, who was fouled plenty. Liam O'Connell caught some good ball, and Purcell was much better. However, Down got very tired in the second half, and were no match for our lads in terms of fitness, or touch. The Carlow game will be a good barometer of how much they've actually improved.

Yes, with what I've heard so far, Jer Quinlan sounds like quite a hurler. How long has he been playing at the Senior County level?

Quote from: les Antiques on March 16, 2024, 08:37:56 PMSemi-Final: Laois v Down in Portlaoise
Final: Carlow v Laois/Down in Carlow

I can't say I quite understand this. Laois is a the top of the Division 2A table, yet have to win a semi-final to be in the final? I would think that would be Carlow playing Down in the semi-.

Laois and Carlow level on points (8 each).  First tie-breaker id the head-to-head result, which Carlow won.

So Carlow are top of the division, Laois second and Down third. 

Down are third, by the way, because the first tie-breaker between themselves and Kildare was a Draw, second tie-breaker is scoring difference which Down wins by +4 to 0.

All Clear now?

I'm going to say "yes?".

"The full forward line were outstanding as Aaron Dunphy, Tomas Keyes and Jer Quinlan combined for 3-14." (from Laois Today)

Wow!

I just saw the final score for Offaly v. Cork. Ouch!

Sitting here, hoping Midlands radio will cover the whole match.

I'll be recording it (to listen to later) as I need to start on the mowing on a rare sunny day this time of year, here.

Yeah, the Westmeath and Limerick final scores were much closer than I would have expected. :o

Quote from: Mossy Bruce on February 11, 2024, 02:41:02 PMHalf-time while listening to the match on Kfm (the commentator has the personality of a sack of concrete). A slow start for the lads. Hopefully, they kick it into gear in the second half.

I think Jack Nolan's doing it on Midlands Radio, no?

I'll check it out. I assumed Midlands Radio would be covering anything but a Laois match.

Quote from: Mossy Bruce on February 10, 2024, 07:36:11 PMI just saw the results for the Down v. Kerry match. What the hell.
Very surprising. Thats two losses now by Kerry and they're rooted to the bottom of the table.
By the way -- Hi, G@@! I sent you a short message, a week or so ago.
