The tippy tappy hurling gone for a wee while as NaPairsigh and Ballygunner get horsed into each other.

It's been a poor enough affair considering what players on view, Casey and Dessie are playing blunders but this is just a tug of war..
Best team winning at the minute.. anything can happen though
Na Piarsaigh let them off the hook early on. A load of missed chances when they could have built up a lead. William O'Donoghue was a big loss for them.
There's always a bottle job ready to break out in Ballygunner!

Yeah, they do seem to fail to deliver every once in a while considering the team they have.
Mahony was also missing for Ballygunner, but no doubt Will O'Donoghue is a big loss also to Na Piarsaigh.

Their manager said that would have cancelled each other out with the two big names missing
I wouldn't have thought at any point in the game that Gunner were going to lose, but, that old self doubt that they have could have snuk in.
To be fair they have one Club title, yes with the talent they have and reaching a few late stages probably should have some more but the must, the must underachieving club team title goes to that Thurles team that had serious talent in every line!
With the way Ballygunner grab any talent away from nearby clubs, there wouldn't be a lot of tears shed if they had lost yesterday.
Mahony was a loss for them obviously.
NP definitely let that one get away.
BG were more clinical when it counted most. It was a bit of a war of attrition, not helped by the ref thought he was exceptionally sore on NP a few times at crucial times. Hard to call but the blatant throw toward the end that led to the BG point infront of the stand was a big miss.

I think in the context of the game, missing throws is unfortunately going to happen, I think there was no real consistency to the game and the ref looked a bit lost at times.. Kennedy was doing the line and he's had plenty of big games recently, but I didn't feel that his contribution had any bearing on the game.
I said yesterday that it was a poor enough games at times and others looking in would have seen that too, weather was good for this time of year and the surface was as good as it could be been too so no other external reasons other than it became a dogfight
Sarsfields I didn't think have overly improved from last year from watching the Cork final so the next day out should be a goodin
Ballyhale got over Kilcormac in a good battle there, they'll be in the mix later.
A bit of a melee at the end there. ;D

Always makes me laugh someone punching someone with a helmet on. Even stupider punching someone with a helmet on when you don't have one! Lol. Serious note, terrible to see, no need at all.
Na Fianna gone.
Martin's beat them by 1pt.

Ballyhale the better side with that bit
More dog in them. but fortunate not to have a penalty given against them just after half time which would have made it a bit interesting.
I suspect it was the Ballyhale centre half back shouldering players after the final whistle that kicked off the row, the tube who came into the field then trying to start a row in the stand after he'd been fired out.

Was it not the KK lad who pulled a dirty stroke on Adrian Mullan? Then the referee blew the final whistle.
Mullan and his brother Paddy weren't happy with it and 'had a few words' with the KK lad.
Then the supporter came on and the argy bargy started full pelt.
The camera panned to the lad 2 or 3 minutes after the scuffle and he still had a temper on him. He still was an angry lad. Looked to want to box with every one, including it looked like, his fellow club members.
Too many simpletons have easy access to the pitch.
I didn't notice any stewards.

He seems to have previous this lad, he'll get his comeuppance some day running on throwing punches willy nilly..

Saw somewhere yesterday he got lifted by the Gardai and rightly so.
But the genesis of the row was a dirty slap by the KK and the BH players were right to be incensed by it. Thought up to the last couple of minutes the ref did a decent job. Can never understand a ref in a game that is clearly gone playing on past the time, only getting themselves into bother.
He's the new Mayo mick... Coming on punching some boy on the helmet - would say there's some sense going on in that head.
Left the club before the end of the game, initially Ballyhale were second best at times but did what they need to do and dig in and get the scores.. I don't think they'll win this year, think they are past their best
I believe this amadán has form.
Went for the ref in Pearse Park in Longford a few years ago when Offaly played Cavan in the qualifiers.
The Offaly strike on the hand of the Ballyhale back in the last second deserved a red and prob would have got one only for the mill.

Broken thumb it seems, so that's Mullen out for the next few months
Not that I watched it but he gets a broken thumb and a dig on the head?? (albeit helmet)
Gunner are something else when on form
Quote from: Milltown Row2 on November 16, 2025, 02:14:00 PMGunner are something else when on form
That first 25 minutes they were unreal, great to watch.
Portaferry started well, worked the ball through the lines and big pogba got three points then they started to lump it long with mixed results.
SN crowding the area of the Portaferry puck out and winning the breaks.
Portaferry need to revert to working it out every once in a while.
Ports also need at least one sub on now in their defence. We got joy off the lad and so will SN.
It's there for them if they are brave enough to go for it
It's been pretty hectic and some shots from S'neil wide on the wings are belters!
You'd be giving off to your player for attempting them but they manage to have the accuracy
Other game into extra time but couldn't see the best of these two teams beating gunner
S'neil manage to get two points on a row all the time
Ports weaknesses in two key areas exposed by SN, they don't catch/win clean ball in their half forwards in particular and their full back line when faced with pace.
They've played CT in full back for the knockout games in the Down championship and that helped but reverted to Murray for this game probably because they wanted CT to exert more influence on the game. High risk which didn't pay off today.
Eoghan Sands hasn't been fit for most of the year and didn't really feature today like they needed him to do.
SN the better all round team and will take some stopping
Johnnies will go in as underdogs, that's fine, they've been underdogs in their last two games before this weekend.
Be interesting the line ups.. Rogers needs to be curtailed, Chrissy played well but still bit rusty, the sweeper needs to have his influence reduced also..
Could be a tactical masterpiece or egg in the face..
Looking forward to final, venue? I'd Assume Armagh again?

I'd imagine armagh, no real neutral place in between the 2. It's down for the Saturday evening, wonder will rte have it again, considering last year's cracker.
