Hurling 2026

Moreso between 94-96 when they were clearly behind in Leinster. From 97 on they were back in AI semis after DJ scored, I think, 2-08 in the first year of the original backdoor system against Galway in Thurles.

Then they should have won in both 98 (Whelehan's tour de force) and 99 (Timmy f**king McCarthy and his shit helmet).

With their current trajectories Dowling might figure he has a better shot of winning Leinster with Kildare.

He's in with Kieran's a lot and they've won three of the last four Crokes, so is clearly the man to rebuild from the bottom up.

KK public can be narky though. He never "made it" as a senior county hurler and hasn't the name that Lyng did. They'd be as likely to give it to Shefflin.

If Shefflin gets it, Brian Cody will have a heart attack.

He absolutely despises Shefflin for taking the Galway job.

Would they give it to Shefflin? His CV is pretty average. Did nothing with Galway, did nothing with this year's u20s, and the Shamrocks team that won... well, if they hadn't of, it'd have been a serious black mark.

KK will be down for a while. Tradition or no tradition.

Huw Lawlor was a big miss this year. With Carey having to go to No. 3, if robbed KK of a really solid half-back.  But Lawlor is one of the best full backs about.


Losing Billy Ryan wasn't ideal either. He brought a bit of energy and score threat to the half forward line.


Probably not see T.J. back now I'd say. Legend of a player. He carried them around the Covid years. One of the best players of all time.


KK just don't have the players. Teams don't fear them anymore. Dublin just pulled away easy enough. Never looked like losing. Ò Ceallacháin has done a great job with the Dubs. They now have the players to compete.

Last year was beating Limerick in a knock out game in mid-June and now, this year, a Leinster Final. That's progress.

Laois is a dual county last won in 1915 - and never won in football...

Laois has been equally mediocre in both codes, that's why.
