Tailteann Cup 2025

[Rossfan]

I think we can take it that the Provincials are staying.
Their link to Sam is being reduced as next year's system won't have seedings. However the 8 Finalists will be in 1 pot and will get a home venue for Round 1 of the Sam.

Will the TC be an open draw??

The draw will see the four teams who finished second in the Group Stages being drawn to play at home against the three best placed runners-up and New York with these games taking place on the weekend of June 7th/8th.


Teams for this weekend games.

[Captain Scarlet]

Kildare Team:

Cian Burke
Harry O'Neill, Mark Dempsey, Brian Byrne
Tommy Gill, David Hyland. James McGrath
Kevin Feely & Brendan Gibbons
Ben McCormack, Alex Beirne, Darragh Swords
Ryan Sinkey, Daniel Flynn, Jimmy Hyland

Presuming that starts there is a fair bit to come off the bench across every line. Dan Flynn is a headliner and he is lucky enough to be in at all, but if he is fit on hard ground he can do damage.
To be honest even if he is playing poorly we need to use him as a decoy more. Himself and Jimmy Hyland work well together.
Feely is colossal at any level, so interesting to see how him and Gibbons work.

In the league Kevin Flynn came on and changed the game for us, but the pitch was awful and it'll be interesting to see how we go.

Limerick 0-19 Westmeath 0-18. That result means Limerick top the group and Westmeath 2nd.

Limerick 0-19 Westmeath 0-18. That result means Limerick top the group and Westmeath 2nd.

Any time that beats Westmeath gets my vote.

[Fogarty]

Wicklow top the group that all the experts said we would finish 3rd in!
A great closing run of points at the end to overturn the scoring difference.

Here's the link to the draw for the next round tonight .
Gaa really pushing the boat out again and getting behind the competition.
Won't be long til the competition is exclusive to YouTube like the hurling tiers this weekend

Who'd have thought Wicklow would finish above the Biffos?
Well done.

Dead rubber time for Longford today in Tullamore v Carlow.

I will head like it matters. Hope to see an open game with Longford starting or bringing on some new lads.

Carlow will be eager to put us to the sword, again! The league meeting was a massacre and this was WITH Cake in charge.

The only way is up.

Fair play to you.
A true supporter.
Can't be many days in the sun following Longford

New York will take Leitrim place in the knock out stages.

[Rossfan]

For a game Kildare had won 10 minutes into the 2nd half they got out of jail in the end helped  by a Sligo 3 up breach.

[Shamrock Shore]

Good win in Carlow. The wind was the 16th and 17th player for each side in each half. Longford made better use of it in the first half (1-16 to 0-06). Matthew Carey scored 7 2pointers, I think. Prob a record?

Carlow won the second half 1-09 to 0-04.

It was an entertaining game and the row at the end topped it off nicely for the few that were there.
All started when a few Carlows told Longford players to eff off at the final whistle and enjoy the rest of the summer. That kicked things off. 

An Longfort abu

Slán for now.

Limerick 0-19 Westmeath 0-18. That result means Limerick top the group and Westmeath 2nd.

Great credit due to Limerick for how they are going this year. It's such hard going in a county where most of the resources and support goes to the hurlers and then Rugby and Soccer dominate the city. Most of the squad and mgmt are from West Limerick rural areas.
