Premier IHC 2026

[Border Rail 26]

I just cant believe it and ive heard the rumours to. With pics and social medias how could clubs think this wouldnt be picked up on.
Does any1 know what will happen if casltetown object or appeal. Who has to prove the players identity kyle or county board and would roscrea players have to answer to laois co board.?

Could thise roscrea players get a suspension from a diff county or would ut have to go national commitee?

Be grand lads. Looks like Castletown played the chip last night for the Junior B Footballers.

[Laois man]

Looks like Castletown played the chip last night with there junior B fballs?? Can someone explain this or am I missing something.

How's everyone's predictions for the PIHC and the IHC semis this week.

Castletown at a canter
Camross after a battle with bcolla

Mountrath to strong for the Harps
Abbeyleix if they get match ups right, if not the novel final of Mountrath vs Slieve bloom will happen

[Border Rail 26]

I think casletown could win by 20+.
The 2nd game will be very close and both forwards look good but i think camross might have better backs and will win by 4.

Slieve bloom will win against abbeyleix. Much better scoring power ill guess by 5.

I think mountrath will be favourites but they wont have met a team with The Harps power and size and i think there young team could get a big surprise. I think The Harps will start quickly and if they got a couple of quick goals would mountrath have the experience to come back im not so sure.
The Harps by 6.

I think castletown will beat PRT in the Junior as well. Lot of good young players on that team.

[Laois man]

Prt and Ctown could be the game of the weekend.

[John1]

Expecting The Harps come through dogged test with BK. BK backs are a tad loose and sluggish, could cost them. Great seeing Joe Campion back in action for BK
Rosenallis / Abbeyleix will both fancy themselves, could be good game or a hard watch. Hard one to call.

Dont know if Castletown will steamroll CS,  2016 Hot favorite's and yes eventually won but Clonaslee nearly nabbed them in that semi-final. Complacency can happen and be the downfall of a team, But saying that on paper they are by far a better team than CS,  counts for nothing though unless they continue their form.
Camross / Bcola has the makings of a tasty affair, The 2 form teams outside of Castletown, Fancy Camross by maybe by 3/4, possibly Joe Phelan back in the mix for them now too, Camross have experienced players which should get them through a lively Bcola side.

PRT going back up will be stern tester and they will earn it if they do. Ctown by 4

[Ballygowen]

Big games the weekend, I presume the predictions comp is on the SHC thread, I must put up my predictions later.

To this grade, Casteletown are hot favourites, but I don't think they will be 20+ point winners. CS gave them the most competitive game so far and I suppose have no pressure coming into this game. Still can't see them win, but I predict it to be  an 8-15 point win for casteltown. Camross and CB, I don't think will be as close as some might think, camross a strong side, CB beat CS by 4 points and got steam rolled by Castletown, Camross wont all their games convincingly on their side too. I predict camross with a 10 point + win

Bloomers and the fung, I think bloomers have a bit too mcuh for abbeyliex, if the two Conroy's play well they will be hard to stop at this grade. Other side Mrath and harps, I predict Mrath, have a good blend of youth and experience, got to the final last year and it means more to them than the harps second team. I think they will have more heart in them to win.

Casteltown and PRT, castletown in 3 finals (one football). Lost one already, don't think they will win this one either. Think for hurling it would be better for PRT to win rather than a second team. It too will mean more to them.

[Laois man]

Shocking evening for hurling.

[Laois man]

Great win for Ctown won the battle to see it out.

[Verbal]

Shocking for PRT not to be winning what is basically Junior B.

Castletown went down from Intermediate 20 years ago and expected a quick bounce back.
Since then they have had young teams, old teams, good teams, bad teams, even amalgamated teams wearing orange jerseys! But could never win it.

[Border Rail 26]

Great win in rathdowney for the Harps today. Mountrath were ok in the 1st half but the Harps were always in control to be honest. I think they will win this now. Lots of youth but some big strength as well if the weather turns and pitches get slower.

U15s won A championship earlier so we'll see if good things come in 3s tomorrow.

[Laois man]

Great weekend for Ctown junior A winners into Premier intermediate final and u15 league aswell. Colt/ Shananoe were shocking camross v Cbolla was a good battle Ref hard on Cbolla. Sbloom got a win mrath must be very disappointed with there performance Harps are good do.

[Verbal]

Could have a situation wher
Premier Intermediate
Intermediate
Junior A

Are all won by the same parish.
Junior B could have been on that list too if right was right!

[Genocide Organ]

Junior B could have been on that list too if right was right!

Yeah, the Kyle thing... Everyone has heard the pub talk. They may well have unofficially had lads from Roscrea who they may legally have been able to get before. You've got to wonder, though - could this debacle spell the end for them as a club? With other clubs watching them like a hawk, they might get some savage beating in the junior A next year. Their pool of players is so shallow that without recourse to the "illegals" they certainly won't be able to compete at a 'serious' grade.
