Antrim Hurling

[hurlingstick]

Yeah, same. Kerry/Westmeath

Awful result. Moral victories are for nothing. Antrim hurling has not improved one bit in 3 years. Sport is a results business and were not getting them. We'll struggle with Kerry and Westmeath and by rights deserve to be in 2a next year

agree,  Sadly

Dublin (1A) thumped Limerick (1B). Come championship Limerick will have greatly upped their game and would likely dispense of Dublin (they use league for messing about). I'm not sure we can greatly improve between now and championship. It's not looking like a great championship. A great workman never blames his tools however in this case you could forgive KR, given the very limited forwards he has at his disposal. PJ didn't score today AGAIN. Stats speak for themselves. Not good enough!

Back to back goals have killed this game of now.  A question. Is it the same joke as last year. Team relegated gets another chance to stay up by playing D2 winners.

yes is a joke Antrim should have been down in division 2 last year.

don't agree Ger Cunningham has Dublin back to the level they were when they won the leinster and league final, Limerick are good for only one good game a year, i belive Clare will beat them well in the championship in a few weeks time.

Well we will see come championship. Limerick have been in the top 4 teams in the country past 2 years in championship hurling.

Bloody marvellous eh, another wasted trip!  Another farce of game and we fail miserably once more.  Difficult to see light at the end of the tunnel on the back of consecutive defeats. If that's the best we can do, Div. 2A is most certainly looming, Kerry or Westmeath on their day would certainly put us to the sword.

I do agree here.  Dubs have looked very very sharp all league.  There's no way you just turn it of and on.  Limerick looked very poor.

We can all speculate. Limerick 2014 1b runners up - Munster finalists. Beat by eventual AI winners after a replay.
Limerick 2013 1b winners - Munster champions..... Limerick regularly finish in this position in the league . They've another level.

Last year is last year, Limerick have placed a massive importance on getting out of 1B since they have been in it, to say they just use the league to mess about is nonsense. Pretty sure they would have welcomed the extra games as they don't play in Munster for 8 weeks. They might improve as the years goes in but they were well beaten today.

[hurlingstick]

My point is that they definitely will improve come championship like they have the past 2 years.

We finished bottom last year and beat Offaly in the first play off. Offaly then won the playoff against the 2a winner. So if the thing is to b done properly the bottom team should go straight down no stupid second and third chances. Weve been bottom 2 in a row so should def be down. If they want a playoff it should be between 2nd from bottom and 2nd in 2a

Well they couldn't get any worse than last night so you're correct in one sense.   Dublin didn't play regular first team players last night... They certainly have even more to give.... Tipp the best team so far by a good margin they seemed to be going all out this year, worth a punt
